In more normal times, when Enlightenment values such as reason and scientificity mattered, evidence contrary to a hypothesis would be taken seriously. But, in a post-truth world, contrary evidence is either ignored, or is taken that even more of the same must be applied. From an objective, unbiased scientific point of view, surely if an infection is surging in a place, and that place has been highly vaccinated, then one thing that would need to be checked out, is whether the vaccines in question actually worked. If a drug was said to prevent a disease or condition, but it was found that over time its effectiveness rapidly dropped off, then a rational scientist would conclude that the drug needs to be replaced by a better one. This is what would be done in other areas such as engineering, and it should apply to medicine and public health too. For example, insecticides which may be effective for a time, which are found to have diminished effectiveness, are soon replaced by “better” killers, rather than get to the level of having to drown insects in the stuff. The parallels to the Covid vaxxes are obvious.
The vaccine camp needs to explain the case of Israel, which has one of the highest Covid vaccination rates in the world, with already nearly half of its citizens having received three jabs, but leads the world in new daily Covid cases per capita, according to January 20 data. Clearly there is something wrong with the mainstream Covid narrative.
