If you can get the disease after the shot, then you are not being administered a vaccine.

Period.

So I guess according to you the measles vaccine isn't a vaccine?

"- One dose of MMR vaccine is 93% effective against measles, 78% effective against mumps, and 97% effective against rubella.
- Two doses of MMR vaccine are 97% effective against measles and 88% effective against mumps.

Even Polio vaccines aren't 100%, damn close, but not 100%. Therefore, according to you, the Polio vaccine is not a vaccine?

Nevada's current guidelines for Covid deaths as of July 12, 2021:

https://dpbh.nv.gov/uploadedFiles/dpbhnvgov/content/Programs/OPHIE/Docs/COVID-Death-Definition.pdf

Quote
Updates were made July 12, 2021

~

COVID-19 Death:
• Decedents with a positive PCR COVID-19 lab report (≤ 30 days from death or post-mortem)
• Decedents with a death certificate that lists a COVID-19-related term as a cause of death in Part I and have a
history of a positive PCR COVID-19 lab report
     •  COVID-related terms include names for COVID-19, such as SARS-CoV-2, coronavirus, coronavirus-19, etc.
• Decedents with a pending cause of death that had a positive PCR lab test within 30 days of death AND
symptoms indicative of COVID-19 (per investigation or medical report)
• Decedents with a death certificate that does not specifically list a COVID-19-related term that had a positive PCR
lab result ≤ 30 days before death and/or died within 30 days of COVID-19 symptom onset AND died in a manner
of death deemed to be ‘natural’ on the death certificate
• Exception: Deaths due to non-natural causes (e.g. accidental, intentional self-harm, homicide) should not be
counted as a COVID-19 death even if the deceased had a confirmatory positive lab test within 30 days of death

So anyone who was dying of end stage cancer, heart attack, end stage liver disease, etc, but who has had a positive Covid test in the past 30 days is counted as a Covid death.

Is there any justification for this? They have changed the way deaths are reported. This is not done for other diseases.

Period.
Then what would you call an injection that provides your body with a blueprint to fight a disease to ensure its full effects don't hit you?
A prophylactic, similar to ivermectin or even hydroxychloroquine in effectiveness when it comes to outcome-based treatment.
So it prevents disease.
But you just said it didn't.

So, Hydroxychloroqhine didn't prevent Trump from getting covid.  AND ivermectin doesn't seem to orevent disease either.

Also: since I had an immune response when I took the shot (both doses) it makes the case that it created antibodies, which means its a vaccine, no?
If you are going to DebOOonK an expert then you have to at least provide a source with credentials of equal or greater relevance. Even then, it merely shows that some experts disagree with each other.

England is miscounting in the same way as the US and Canada:

https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/916035/RA_Technical_Summary_-_PHE_Data_Series_COVID_19_Deaths_20200812.pdf



Related article about miscounting in England:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jul/21/analysis-why-englands-covid-19-death-toll-is-wrong-but-not-by-much

Quote
Following the health secretary’s move on Friday, Yoon K Loke and Carl Heneghan, of the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine at Oxford University, wrote in a blogpost: “It seems that PHE regularly looks for people on the NHS database who have ever tested positive, and simply checks to see if they are still alive or not. PHE does not appear to consider how long ago the Covid test result was, nor whether the person has been successfully treated in hospital and discharged to the community.”

A Department of Health and Social Care source summed this up as: “You could have been tested positive in February, have no symptoms, then be hit by a bus in July and you’d be recorded as a Covid death.”

When the Guardian put this to a source at PHE, they said that such a scenario would “technically” be counted as a coronavirus death, “though the numbers where that situation would apply are likely to be very small”. PHE says it calculates deaths in this way because, in most circumstances, it cannot dismiss the possibility that Covid-19 could have played a role in the death.

Except for the fact that people die every week in England by the thousands from all sorts of different causes, not just busses.  ::)

A professor argues in favor of the method:

Quote
Speaking at a meeting of the Independent Sage committee, Prof Christina Pagel, a professor of operational research at UCL, said: “If someone [got Covid-19] in mid-March, recovered early April, the chances of them then dying from something completely different in the last couple of months is quite low. So I don’t think it has caused a massive distortion.”

Uh, no. People are consistently dying in large numbers every day by things that are not Covid. If large numbers of people are getting asymptomatic Covid, this counting method is faulty. What an idiot. This is either stupidity or deliberate evil.

We aren’t talking about large numbers of people, we are talking about the mortality risk over a short period of time.

I think I finally found Tom's source code:

10 TROLL
20 IGNORE RESPONSE
30 GOTO 10

Conversations just go round and round. He's been shown the data which proves it's not just Covid deaths being overcounted that explains the death rate over the last year.
Here's the UK age corrected all cause mortality rate over the last 30 years. Clear falling trend until last year. And it'll be interesting to see this year's as the death rate was 42% above average in mid-Feb this year because of Covid. Well, it's either Covid or a lot of motorcycle accidents for some reason:



And here's the data from the US which shows that some other causes of mortality have increased and others decreased but overall if you take out Covid there's nothing out of the ordinary going on. It's the Covid deaths which explain the abnormal death rate:



Tom will continue to ignore this or explain it away somehow, it's probably best not to feed the troll. There's no prospect of advancing the conversation in any sensible way, it just goes round and round.
Tom: "Claiming incredulity is a pretty bad argument. Calling it "insane" or "ridiculous" is not a good argument at all."

It keeps going around and around because you neglect to account for the deaths that were up generally during the pandemic, which taints your argument. People were delaying medical care due to fear that they would get Covid in the hospital or clinic, as stated by a source several pages ago.

https://www.nwpb.org/2020/11/25/further-proof-that-2020-stinks-more-people-are-dying-during-the-pandemic-not-just-from-covid/



If those excess Covid deaths are erroneously counted, then they may be attributed to the general increase in excess deaths that we know existed as the time. This other factor of a general increase of deaths during the pandemic ruins your argument.

If? What if they are not erroneously counted. Lots of learned folks are worried that we have undercounted.

And yeah, lots of people have died last year and this year because of covid. From it directly and indirectly. From it directly, as a contributing factor, because they are not vaxed, because they didn’t seek medical attention out of fear of getting it, canceled procedures, overwhelmed healthcare system, lost jobs, depression, addiction. The list goes on. Pretty much pandemic 101 results.

So what’s your point?

The graphs above literally show that ???
You are trolling and gaslighting, you are clearly not interested in serious debate.
You've basically admitted you treat this place as a debating society where you take the contrary opinion as an intellectual exercise.

Those graphs are a hot mess. You might want to get a better ones. I don't remember 2019 being when Covid started:



And why is it suggesting that there was Covid in 2015?

And why is Total Excluding Covid higher than Total Including Covid? Total Including Covid suggests that it contains everything and should be higher. Nonsense.

If the blue increase is supposed to represent an increase in non-Covid deaths then it just illustrates the point that there were a general increase in deaths that the excess Covid deaths can be attributed to if they were erroneously counted. But again, those graphs don't make much sense. It is unsurprising that you are promoting them.

So whats your opinion on covid Tom. Is it something that if you contracted that you would be worried about? Lots of people talked like you and have ended up dying after getting infected with the sars cov-2. I'm fairly certain all those right wing shock jock radio show announcers were not at end stage cancer or died from a traffic accident

Also why would you be happy to take Ivermectin from a Big Pharma company that gave the world Vioxx when even they (Merck) say it appears to be ineffective for treating or preventing covid

Sigh...

OK, fair enough, I did get the labels the wrong way around. The orange line is the total deaths from those causes excluding Covid.
The blue line is adding Covid. My mistake, but obvious enough that I'd expect most people to have worked it out on their own.

Obviously Covid deaths only occurred from 2020 which is why you can't see the blue line before that.
The point is your assertion is that deaths from other causes increased last year too. As the split out data shows, that's true for some causes and not others - some actually went down. But overall deaths in 2020 were a little higher than in 2019 - although it should be noted that that is part of a general rising trend. When you add in Covid though the difference is clear.
