Thanks to Baptist Medical for sharing information that the Florida Department of Health could provide statewide except it challenges assertions made by anti-vaxxers that the vaccines have not been effective. (NOTE: Several states such as Washington and Utah provide this data on a regular basis.) Numbers do that lie. Consider the following based on the number of COVID deaths reported by STATE Departments of Health to the CDC.

On July 16, 2021, when vaccines were approved for everyone 16 years of age or older the total number of COVID deaths since the beginning of the pandemic in FL was 38,891 compared to 63,598 in CA.

Yesterday, the number of total deaths to date was 67,910 for FL and 83,033 for CA. Since the availability of vaccines for the 16+ population, FL added 29,019 deaths compared to 19,435 in CA. But you need to take into account the current population of CA is 39.5 million while that of FL is almost half (21.5 million). If you normalize for population (assuming the number of people in each state was the same), FL could have expected 53,314 deaths post vaccine availability to CA’s 19,435.

Baptist Medical’s numbers demonstrate you are 50 times more likely to be hospitalized if you are not FULLY vaccinated (including a booster). This is not propaganda from either political party or ideological persuasion. These are your local health providers, people who may be your family or neighbors, who shop in the same stores you do, who worship in your churches. They have no other agenda other than to keep you as safe as possible in these trying times. Please listen to them.

“I am not a smart man, but if I got 3 polio shots in one year and still got polio, I’d start to have some questions.” – attributed to Forrest Gump

For the first time in History a medicine’s lack of effectiveness is being blamed on those who are not taking it.

The virus was lab created, then the vax was mandated.

Ivermectin was approved for Human use some 30 years ago.

Lots of things do not add up.

Mr. Martin, your response is half true. If you were a smart man you would understand there is a difference between a virus and a disease. Even if scientists initially hoped the vaccines would deter infection, they now realize the ultimate value of the vaccines is their PROVEN ability to keep infection (CORONAVIRUS) from becoming a debilitating and sometimes lethal disease (COVID-19). This is not the exception but the rule. Most vaccines help us fight the negative effects of viruses when they are present in our system.

As for your comment on ivermectin. Appendectomies have been an approved procedure for much longer than human use of ivermectin. But that does not mean a doctor would prescribe one for a heart problem.

Instead of fake quotes from fictional characters, let me share one on the wall of a colleague. “I can explain it TO you. But I can’t understand FOR you.”

Mr. Kayne, thanks for your response.

Perhaps altering one’s genetic code in order to produce a strain specific spike protein to ward off a constantly mutating coronavirus is an exercise in futility. But hey, is isn’t like they didn’t tell us this whole Messenger RNA “vaccine” program is EXPERIMENTAL.

Coumadin is rat poison. But Doctors prescribe it to humans.

Ivermectin stops virus replication. The problem with it, it is very cheap, off patent, and not a money maker.

After Obamacare most Doctors now work for hospitals. Reportedly, hospitals are killing people with over treatment.

In the past month, I have had 9 friends that have tested positive with Covid19. Some were vaccinated and others were not. Ages were 5 – 75 years of age….NONE WERE HOSPITALIZED AND NONE DIED!!!! In fact, a comment made by both, vaccinated and unvaccinated, was, “If I didn’t know it was Covid19, I would have thought it was a bad cold.” So, IMO, the pandemic is over – wake up people!! Stop living in fear.
