Are you telling me that in all honesty that you don't understand that the virus mutated multiple times?
The testing was done on an earlier strain of the Virus.
You're telling me that you know all about Covid....yet at the same time, you're telling me that you don't understand that a vaccines effectiveness on one mutation won't be the same as another?
You know: how the flu vaccine works well some years where scientists "guess right", and not as well in others?
Come on. You know perfectly well what a mutation is, and what that does to the effectiveness of medicines and vaccines. And that claims for one strain surely wouldn't hold true for four or five generations of mutations.
Or is it more likely that Fauci and the CDC were lying, and trying to kill you?
Yes. Because it's stupid to allow it to be legal in States, but not at the Federal level. For MANY reasons...not the least of which is access to banking for growers and weed shops.

Variants
because the store bought covid test determines which strain, NOT labwork and molecular "look/see" .
you agree, than, that the shots don't work against "variants".
you also agree, that forced mandates of covid shots, that you just admitted don't work, b/c of "variants".
so why take it ? Or, force others to take it ?
still waiting for your "evidence"
and, what's with all the "fauci" and "he wants to kill us " stuff.
Maybe you should stop clicking on Bill Gates debbie downer news feeds.
You got a timeline of when the variants prevented the original shot from performing its 95% efficasy rate? As in , it works at PREVENTING getting covid in the first place... ...was it April of 2021.....or, perhaps. later......in the fall.

Re: All things CoronaVirus
For those interested in a pretty darn clear explanation of all this: https://historyofvaccines.org/blog/mean ... y-theories
Here's the most relevant part, though the rest is interesting as well:
"In science, when we are analyzing variables, we have an operational definition of a term. Going back to the first vaccine, people outside of science believed that vaccines protected against infection, like some magic force field that did not allow viruses and bacteria to land on someone once the vaccine was given. That is not the case.
When a person’s immune system responds to a vaccine, the immune system is given advanced knowledge of what a pathogen looks like. That way, when the pathogen lands on or in someone, the immune system can clear it as soon as possible.
For most diseases, this means no signs and symptoms of the disease, even when there is an infection. This was known of the first vaccine, the one against smallpox, and the latest vaccines against the novel coronavirus causing the disease known as COVID-19. So, no the definition of a vaccine, how it works or what it does has not changed.
What CDC did, and vaccine skeptics and others like to make an enormous deal of for no reason, is refine the operational definition of a vaccine. Nothing about their new set of words put in a particular order to define vaccination is wrong. Vaccines are not 100% safe, and they are not 100% effective, but they are safer by orders of magnitude and more effective by orders of magnitude than the alternatives to dealing with infectious pathogens."
As a fan suggests, Covid operates much like the flu in that there are mutations which spread among the population, amongst multiple other mutations, all replacing former mutations. The vaccines are changed to match, or try to match, the most likely variants by the time of administration, with differing levels of effect based upon whether the mutation is close enough to what the vaccine helps the body to identify.
People who are vaccinated with flu vaccine still can experience sickness with flu depending on what strain of flu is the basis of their infection. They may nevertheless have a better, swifter, more efficacious immune response even though they do experience some sickness. In aggregate, the flu vaccine reduces infections and reduces degree of sickness, but certainly not 100% or even 80%. Just significantly better than no flu vaccine.
Covid's variants have had a much greater negative outcome of hospitalization and death than flu, so the stakes are much, much higher for any reduction in infection symptoms. And that's where the covid vaccines have particularly shined, in the reduction of severe symptoms. Infections occur, some with little to no symptoms, some with symptoms similar to a flu, but way, way fewer severe reactions requiring hospitalization or death.
Orders of magnitude better than not being vaccinated.
And where this matters most (other than to those who are sick and hospitalized or die!) is that reducing the strain on hospitals and medical personnel was an immense imperative during the worst times of Covid. The health system was very nearly overwhelmed and this not only was awful for medical personnel and public health expenses on taxpayers, but also had ripple effects among other diseases and conditions without the time and attention of the medical system. Huge ripple health care impacts and costs as well.
So, any reduction in hospitalizations was a huge priority...not necessarily an elimination of infection, but a reduction in severe symptoms. And thank goodness , it worked.
