The saddest defense yet of the insane US decision to push more mRNA on everyone

Guest Post by Alex Berenson

Public health bureaucrats just came up with a doozy of an excuse for the Centers for Disease Control’s desperate press for more Covid shots this fall – even as most of the world moves on.

American epidemiologists are feeling defensive.

They’re embarrassed that people have figured out the new American push for mRNA Covid jabs doesn’t match what the rest of the world is doing.

As you may know, most countries are not recommending Covid boosters for most healthy adults under 65 this fall. Meanwhile, the United States is pushing shots on six-month-old infants as well as healthy teenagers (!) and adults.

So why is the United States so far out of step?

This morning, Dr. Katelyn Jetelina, who writes the “Your Local Epidemiologist” Substack, and Dr. Gavin Yamey, a first-order mRNA fanatic, decided to answer that question – an unleashed one of the great self-owns of all time.

Yes, the reason that the United States needs mRNA shots this fall when other countries do not is … wait for it…

The American health-care system is so terrible.

Follow the logic here, please.

Drs. Jetelina and Yamey want Americans to ignore the advice other countries are giving and take expensive mRNA shots – because those countries deliver far better (and cheaper) health-care than the United States does.

Whelp.

Think I’m joking? I’m not joking. Under the headline, “Be careful comparing the U.S. to other countries,” the piece offers a litany of reasons American health-care stinks.

(We’re terrible at this! The rest of the world is WAY better. So listen to us!)

Among other problems, America doesn’t have enough hospital beds, see! “The U.S. also doesn’t have much wiggle room in hospitals.”

Never mind that Covid patients, even counting incidental admissions, now occupy just over 2 percent of American hospital beds.

Or that even at the absolute national peak of Covid admissions, during the January 2022 Omicron wave (which, you may recall, was over a year after the mRNA jabs that were supposedly going to end the epidemic began), they occupied only 20 percent of beds nationally.

Or that even during the worst regional waves in 2020 and 2021, hospitals always had beds for patients on a city or statewide basis.

—

Also, Americans don’t have “federally guaranteed sick pay”! Which is super-important for Omicron, because many healthy working-age people with Omicron are sick for hours and sometimes even a full day!

—

Also, Americans are just generally in terrible health:

Taken together, Americans have worse health than their counterparts. In one study, they had worse health across all 16 health outcomes than their English counterparts.

—

The American public health solution to all of this, of course, is not to accept that Covid will be with us forever. Or that the current strain is barely a cold for most people in decent shape – and thus to encourage people to improve their overall health.

No.

It’s to push yet another expensive new offering from Big Pharma, an mRNA shot that is called a “vaccine” even though it works – at most – for a couple of months. And causes odd and concerning long-term changes to the immune system. And severe heart damage in some healthy young people.

Or maybe, for a change, we’d be better off not trying to push medicines on healthy people for a disease that poses a miniscule risk.

Maybe, for change, we’d be better off just listening to the rest of the world – and ignoring our local drug pushers.
