This was of course not on mainstream news, but in Dutch on blckbx.tv
It is from an article in the Washington Post of November 23,2022)

CORONA 24 NOVEMBER 2022

Verenigde Staten heeft nu officieel ‘pandemie van de gevaccineerden’ (United States now officially has 'pandemic of the vaccinated')​

It’s no longer a pandemic of the unvaccinated (Washington post November 23, 2022 at 7:46 a.m. EST)​

For the first time, a majority of Americans dying from the coronavirus received at least the primary series of the vaccine.
Fifty-eight percent of coronavirus deaths in August were people who were vaccinated or boosted, according to an analysis conducted for The Health 202 by Cynthia Cox, vice president at the Kaiser Family Foundation.

It’s a continuation of a troubling trend that has emerged over the past year. As vaccination rates have increased and new variants appeared, the share of deaths of people who were vaccinated has been steadily rising. In September 2021, vaccinated people made up just 23 percent of coronavirus fatalities. In January and February this year, it was up to 42 percent, per our colleagues Fenit Nirappil and Dan Keating.


Authorities in the US are reluctant to admit that the tables have turned: the country is now officially dealing with a 'pandemic of the vaccinated'.

In August, more vaccinated people died from the corona virus than unvaccinated people in the US for the first time, The Washington Post reports Wednesday.

In August, 58 percent of corona deaths were people who had been vaccinated or boosted, according to an analysis conducted by the nonprofit Kaiser Family Foundation.

The newspaper writes: “It is a continuation of a disturbing trend that has emerged over the past year. While vaccination coverage has risen and new variants have appeared, the proportion of deaths of people who were vaccinated has steadily increased. In September 2021, vaccinated people made up only 23 percent of coronavirus deaths. In January and February of this year, that had risen to 42 percent."

"We can no longer say that this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated," said Cynthia Cox, vice president of the Kaiser Family Foundation, who has made excuses for the shift. “More people are vaccinated than unvaccinated, which means that a higher proportion of vaccine fatalities can be expected. Groups that run the greatest risk, such as the elderly, are also vaccinated relatively more often than groups that run a low risk. Vaccines also lose their effectiveness over time and offer no protection against new variants,” explains Cox.

Like many other Western countries, the United States is currently experiencing a disturbingly high excess mortality, which cannot be explained by COVID, but has been linked to the vaccines. These excess mortality figures are not included in the calculation of the Kaiser Family Foundation.

Hate against unvaccinated people
In any case, the turnaround is good news for Americans who have not given in to pressure from politicians and health authorities to get jabbed with the experimental mRNA vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna or the viral vector product from Johnson & Johnson (Janssen).

In 2021, a huge smear campaign was conducted in the United States against people who did not want to participate in the experiment. In large parts of the US, especially in democratic states, life was made impossible for the unvaccinated. Vaccination obligations were imposed in schools and universities and large companies were also required to require vaccination of their employees. Even President Joe Biden expressed his contempt for vaccine refusers in speeches and spoke several times of a "pandemic of the unvaccinated."

Stinging urge continues
Despite a vaccine pandemic, The Washington Post maintains that being unvaccinated is still a major risk factor for dying from COVID-19. “But efficacy diminishes over time, and an analysis released last week by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) points to the need to get regular booster injections to keep the risk of dying from the coronavirus low, especially for the elderly,” says the newspaper.

National infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci used his final White House briefing before his December retirement yesterday to urge Americans to get the recently approved omikron-specific boosters.

“The final message I will give you from this podium is that, for your own safety and that of your family, get your updated COVID-19 shot as soon as you are eligible,” he said.


Yesterday, the White House announced a six-week campaign leading up to the holiday season aimed at increasing booster rates among seniors, those belonging to racial minorities, and those living in rural areas.

"I'm very confident that if people continue to get vaccinated properly, if people get stimulated, we can definitely have a very safe and healthy holiday season," White House coronavirus czar Ashish Jha said yesterday.

No enthusiasm for mouse poke
As in the Netherlands and other countries, the Americans are not yet very enthusiastic about the latest mRNA injections, which are administered to humans while they have only been tested on mice.

Only about 35 million people have received the booster shots, which became available in September for people ages 12 and older and last month for children ages 5 and up. That's just over 10 percent of the U.S. population.
