Do you have any proof that the vaccines approved for use in the U.S. are not effective at preventing severe Covid cases? The vaccines in the U.S. have been very effective at preventing severe illness and death when compared to the unvaccinated across all the existing variants including Omicron.
DeSantis for the win

We're not going to go back to the argument where I say "a vaccine is designed to stop you from getting and transmitting the virus" and then YOU try to tell me that all viruses have breakthrough cases and I say "yeah, but at what rate" and you try to tell me the COVID vax only has a breakthrough rate of .56...are we?
Until Omicron showed up the Covid vaccines had a breakthrough rate of under 0.56%. This is well documented with CDC, KFF, and European data.
With Omicron the vaccinated breakthrough case rate has significantly risen. We are still waiting for data to be released to show how high.
However the vaccines are still very good at protecting people from severe Covid with Omicron -- over 80% effective.
Epic Benchslap: University Of Florida Gets Spanked In Effort To Gag Professors Testifying Against State
Don't make US District Judge Mark Walker angry. You wouldn't like him when he's angry.
https://abovethelaw.com/2022/01/epi...t-to-gag-professors-testifying-against-state/
The University of Florida had to know it was going to lose this case. Barring professors from testifying as expert witnesses is a classic prior restraint, and doing it selectively based on whether they’re speaking against the state is unambiguously not content neutral. But the school probably didn’t expect to get compared to the Chinese Communist Party in the very first paragraph of the order granting the injunction.
So it had to sting when US District Chief Judge Mark Walker began by invoking a statue commemorating the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre victims which was recently removed from the University of Hong Kong’s campus because administrators decided that disappearing a marker of Chinese government violence was in “the best interest of the University.” And in case the analogy wasn’t clear, the court described the ongoing decline of academic freedom in Hong Kong as university administrators buckle under China’s demands for “greater patriotism and national Chinese identity” in education.
In Florida, as in Hong Kong, academics are being censored at the behest of a capricious state which brooks no dissent. Election law scholars Daniel A. Smith, Michael McDonald, and Sharon Wright Austin were blocked from testifying in a suit alleging that a recently enacted law deliberately disenfranchises minority voters because administrators determined that their testimony might “pose a conflict to the executive branch of the state of Florida create a conflict for the University of Florida.”

Until Omicron showed up, getting data on cases that were vaccinated was extremely difficult, because of The Narrative™.

DeFascist minions found to be suppressing free speech? Shocker! Should've quoted the judge's opinions GWB:
“In short, UF’s policy violates the First Amendment as a prior restraint that grants UF unbridled discretion to suppress protected speech,” Judge Walker held. “Even if UF’s policy could survive Plaintiffs’ unbridled discretion challenge, it still violates the First Amendment because it allows UF to bar professors from speaking based on the viewpoint of their speech.”

The KFF and CDC in the U.S. have both been publishing information from the majority of states that provide Covid vaccination breakthrough data since May. This data is the largest publicly available data set on the planet for Covid vaccination breakthrough information in terms of millions of people covered.
So far DeSantis has refused to close his antibody treatment centers which are using drugs which the FDA has stated very clearly don't work against Omicron. Regeneron Ron enjoys making his wealthy hedge fund donors rich. Do the Feds need to bring legal action to put a stop to this nonsense.
