‘Cuz the math doesn’t seem to add up, Hotez.
Dr. Hotez: ‘150,000 Unvaccinated Americans Needlessly Lost Their Lives Because They Were Defiant’
Center for Vaccine Development director Dr. Peter Hotez said Monday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” that since COVID-19 vaccines have been available, “150,000 unvaccinated Americans needlessly lost their lives because they were defiant.”
Lessee, the first pseudo-vax became available in December 2020. At that time some 370,000 deaths were attributed to COVID.
Since the pseudo-vax has been available, another 429,000+/- have died. But if only 150,000 were us unwashed, ignorant anti-pseudo-vaxxers, then that implies the other 279,000 dead were enlightened vaxxed.
So:
Un”vaxxed: 150K/429K = 34.9%
“Vaxxed: 279K/429K = 65%
Given those numbers, I think I’ll just go on being “defiant.”

How many people have died of covid19 since June 1 this year? That is when the period of time Hotez is speaking of.
That doesn’t exactly help his case either. The raw numbers might seem to so indicate, but there’s a problem.
Since June 1, 187,276 are listed as dying of ChinCOVID. But he has cherry-picked the very timeframe in which the FDA, CDC, and Pfizer all say pseudo-vax efficacy has waned to the point of boosters being needed.
What states will say how many deaths were vaxxed v. unvaxxed ranges from 15-40% of deaths being “vaxxed.” Unless Hotez will cite specific numbers to back his claim, I find it unlikely — though possible — that he is correct. (You should also consider the new definition of “vaccinated” as applying only to SARS-CoV-2; someone who has had both jabs and is 13 days past the second still gets counted as unvaxxed. Note that I’m not even addressing the fluid way in which a third booster jab is sometimes needed to count as vaxxed.)
Funny thing. If I start getting COVID jabs, it takes a month to be counted as vaxxed. But when I had my accident, I received a tetanus booster… because that vax is considered almost immediately effective in combating an infection I might have picked up in the accident. Ditto rabies jabs.
COVID? Not so much.
