IMHO, this was a major reason behind the push to vaccinate as many people as possible. It was a massive experiment in confirmation bias and the power of social pressure. The more people who were vaccinated, the less people there were to care about the mandates (because people are self interested and aren't going to fight other people's battles for the most part). It had the added benefit of further ostracizing those who didn't go along, to the point that more people caved (thus reinforcing the narrative). And finally it gives great cover to the "long covid" and "sudden death" narratives. They can always blame covid rather than the vaccines. This blame is possible because there's not a huge unvaccinated control group (though I am N=1 ha ha).
I actually agree with you that the reported numbers don’t match reality. Nevertheless it’s enough to provide cover to the powers-that-be because it probably is a majority (anything over 50%).
One of my biggest hints that the numbers are ‘juiced’ is that the cruise lines have all mostly dropped their vax requirements (notwithstanding a couple regions who still have them). The cruise lines can’t afford to give up 40% of the population in the US who are unvaxed or partially vaxed). I get flyers almost every day begging me to book a cruise.
G Gently, I’m not buying into that control group. With so much conversation about not trusting people and things…this site sends up red flags for me. It looks like a government sponsored tool for identifying the unvaxed. It shows 35% for the US and 65% for the UK…seriously? NOT joining on that.
For anyone else who is interested there is information about the origin of the group. There are hundreds of thousands of participants. I'm a retired Canadian RN of 35 years and I've been a member since Oct. 2021. Canadians must fight our totalitarian government and refuse mandates. I got this info while at a Canadian protest. I have an ID that states I must not be vaccinated and I fill out out a short health record every month. Data is needed from the unvaccinated because people we care about who are vaccinated are getting sick. The government knows I'm not vaccinated according to my health records. Faith over fear. Honk Honk.

N = 1. Think I might commission myself a tee with that in red boldface type.
Love this idea and I’d buy one! 😍

AM, but there is an enormous worldwide vaccine control group of the unvaccinated. Please feel free to join. 🌎https://www.vaxcontrolgroup.com/
