I hate to say it, but I told you so!

The solution is simple... Stop testing & the infection rate plummets. What do you think the rest of the world is doing?! The countries with the highest rates of infections are the countries with best / most effective testing systems. Everyone has the 'same rate of infection'... It's the countries that don't test that have the best stats against the global average. Doesn't take a rocket scientist!

"Stop testing & the infection rate plummets". It's called the 'Ostrich effect' a pathetic strategy that resists and fears unpleasant and necessary information.

If you still need to wear a mask after being FULLY vaccinated and still need to be tested after being FULLY vaccinated, and you still catch covid after being FULLY vaccinated, at what point do you admit you've been FULLY conned? Because when vaccines work, they protect 100%, I have never had a breakthrough case of tetanus, diphtheria, or pertussis because unlike experimental covid19 flu shots, the Tdap works.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result.
I wonder how many comment this news outlet is not publishing......

Reply to Hart: All of this is true, and not to forget Yellow fever vaccine, after many years WHO decided 1 jab is enough to give guaranteed protection, when we compare covid vaccines it is now Jab no 5 coming and the question everyone should ask is "against what flu are people being vaccinated against"? A, B, Delta variants are gone by the wind and the flu called omicron mutate so much that the covid vaccines have no effect. Why continue the vaccine programme against a flu that no longer exist?
It is not possible to vaccinate away flu viruses they keep coming back every year in new versions.
