Serial COVID misinformer Wayne Allyn Root ranted in his Aug. 16 WorldNetDaily column:
This is madness. Forced vaccination with an experimental “for emergency use only” shot has precipitated death or injury for over 500,000 Americans. Is this really happening? Are you sure this isn’t 1938 Nazi Germany, or a communist country that provides no civil or human rights to its citizens? Because this can’t be America.
That figure of over 500,000 total deaths, serious injuries and adverse effects linked to the COVID-19 vaccines is not from me … it’s not from some wild, unreliable internet rumor … it comes from the vaccine adverse event reporting system called VAERS that’s connected to the U.S. government and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
It’s more deaths and injuries than all the vaccines in the past three decades combined, by a mile. By the way, throughout history, VAERS has always underreported deaths and injuries by a wide margin.
Root is lying about VAERS. As we’re repeatedly pointed out, reports of adverse effects to VAERS are not verified and are not designed to be comprehensive.
Root went on to claim that “In the European Union, the same vaccine reporting system reports over 20,000 dead and over 2 million injured by the vaccines” — though the European system works the same way as VAERS in that reported effects have not been verified.
Root continued to fearmonger: “In Massachusetts, there are 9,969 “breakthrough cases” of vaccinated people with COVID-19, and over 100 vaccinated people are dead of COVID-19. That’s reported by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.” But that 9,969 number is a mere 0.23 percent of all people fully vaccinated in the state.
Root then ranted:
If Trump were president, the media would be reporting those numbers in gigantic headlines and calling “Trump’s vaccine” a “Frankenstein’s monster.” They’d be accusing Trump of murder. They’d be calling him “Hitler.”
Not one Democrat in America would be taking these vaccines.
There would be Black Lives Matter riots as black Americans accused Trump of racism and genocide. The American Civil Liberties Union would be filing lawsuits in every city, county and state in America. They’d call forced vaccinations under Trump “the civil rights issue of our lifetime.”
And the children? Are you aware Johns Hopkins School of Medicine (the most respected in the world) just did a study of 45,000 American kids with COVID-19 and found zero deaths among healthy children? Zero as in 0. Only a handful of children in all of America died from COVID-19, and Johns Hopkins reports all of them had childhood cancer.
So, if Trump were president and the government demanded every schoolchild be masked and vaccinated with a dangerous and sometimes deadly experimental vaccine, even though there was zero risk of death from this flu bug, what would liberals say? How about feminist mothers?
You don’t have to guess. I know. Liberal mothers across America would say, “Trump wants to murder our children.”
Root’s unspoken implication is that if Trump were still president, he’d be first in line to get the vaccine and would be downplaying or dismissing the purported side effects he’s now fearmongering about. After all, he has been nothing if not a major Trump suck-up over the past four-plus years.
Root’s argument here is hollow and cynical. We wouldn’t expect anything else.
