This is a bad strategy in the current context.

Assume for the sake of this argument that there really is a novel, respiratory virus.

We know from empirical observation that only those with symptoms symptoms are effective at infecting others.

In this setting, it’s pointless ring vaccinating the contacts of a case, especially if the case displays no symptoms, because those contacts are not transmission risks.

Also in this case, “leaky vaccines” do not block transmission. So it will make no difference to the spread of an alleged pathogen.

The entire idea is doomed.

ring vaccination only works when you have a sterilizing vaccine, i.e. a vaccine that /prevents infection./

there is no evidence that the current inoculations du jour do that in any of the pHarmaCo studies from before or after mass rollouts of the shots. if anything, real world evidence suggests that the shots increase the infection rate, based on case counts of highly "vaccinated" areas vs areas who refused to comply with the push to consume the very profitable products.

none of their study endpoints included prevention of infection, only symptom reduction and antibody counts.

and the CDC had to nerf their definition of vaccine from "prevents infection" to "produces immune response" in 2021 just so people would stop claiming the inoculations du jour weren't vaccines based on the CDC's own vaccination standards.

The same strategy should also apply to the lockdowns. Instead, the narrative has always been: “Eradicate the virus, cost what it may,”

This has never worked, despite the incessant propaganda to the contrary.

Ring vaccination was said be effective for smallpox because incidence of smallpox disease is physically obvious, needing no lab test, so it could be diagnosed quickly, easily, and inexpensively; because smallpox has a long incubation period, allowing time for vaccine to become effective before clinical disease in the contacts; and because there is no animal reservoir. None of these fit for COVID.

After hours scouring the NIAID web site, this turned up.

But their quackery doesn’t work unless you partake in their quackery too!

Virus are NOT contagious. We need more to make this paradigm shift and fast.

Current covid strategy amounts to continuing to drink to avoid a hangover.

It's either pay now or pay later.

Yet no one knows what the interest rate is.

These are not real vaccines. They are spike protein factories that don’t protect anyone.

The smallpox vaccine was deadly and had to be taken off the market.

This was the original intent of getting these shots out. Elderly, caregivers, those at risk. Then Xiden showed up.

Shoot, how do we know that the smallpox vaccine eradicated smallpox? Seeing how the bungled covid vaccine program is cloaked in deceit and fraud, I’d question any historical documentation on the subject.

Hi Mathew,

One objection to this idea. If you are considered part of that ring that must be vaccinated for whatever reason... are you going to be forced vaccinated against your will?

In the same way, if you are considered part of the so called "vulnerable group" for whatever reason... are you going to be forced restricted against your will?

Because that would be madness, as it is madness what they are doing now. It sounds good on paper, but how do you apply it?

Public Health should only give recommendations, that's my point. And no government should be involved in this at all. Their role should be NONE. No mandatory anything, that's a crime.

In any case, you would still need safe and effective vaccines, which we don't have. And Most Important Of All! You would still need an emergency, which never was. So in reality you should not do anything at all beyond normal healthcare for this situation. From the very beginning of it. Nothing should have been done beyond normal healthcare. You don't even need to create any vaccines for this.

Your reference on “ring vaccination” was written by the CDC in 2019 no less. "Ring Vaccination | Smallpox | CDC". www.cdc.gov. November 29, 2019.

As we all now know, the CDC has been lying an manipulating data for years to fit its agenda. They are one of the MOST corrupt government institutions. If you actually spend a few minutes researching “the history of the small pox vaccination campaign” you will realize it has a very dark history. There is no actual “small pox vaccine” the way we think of a vaccine today. Back it the early 1900s, a “doctor” would cut your arm with a scalpel and rub pus from an infected cow, sheep or human pustule directly into the wound. The hypodermic needle had not been invented yet. Most of the “vaccines” were contaminated with deadly bacteria and made people gravely ill. They literally infected you on purpose directly from an infected pox pustule. If you were not covered in blister lesions within a few days - they cut you again and rubbed infected pus directly into your wound again. More people died from the small pox vaccination campaigns then from the actual disease. Every vaccine mandate campaign was followed by a deadly outbreak of small pox in the community. Like today, when The government realized the vaccine did nothing to control outbreaks, they doubled down and began to force small pox “vaccine” mandates on all people. Many peoples children died from the vaccination campaign yet the government would grant no exemptions to the mandate. If we do not learn history we are doomed to repeat it.

Please read Dr Suzanne Humphreies book “dissolving illusions” on the dark history of “vaccination” in the US. Most of what the CDC tells us is not true.

The CDC is not and has never been on the side of the people.

A little research into the history of the CDC will reveal they hurt far more people then they pretend to help.

Thinking about actual vaccines, not the current misnamed injections du jour — wouldn’t it still require some time for immunity to even build? I would imagine it likely for someone in close proximity to end up getting infected before a preemptive on the spot vaccination would take effect. Not all that sold on the strategy actually. Only vaccinating the vulnerable (with an actual vaccine) yes, but would have to do that preemptively, not on the spot I would think…

For the EUA beasties it obviously anyway can’t work since even if injected it doesn’t count for 14 days. And a few other reasons.

But then maybe this is a way to give cover to the adverse events experienced by “ring” injected around an infected person… Oh nuts. They must have died because they were infected too quickly…

Please, don't give them any ideas. Force-jabbing toxic sludge is still that, whether done in rings or not. And eventually, just about everyone will find himself in one of those "rings".

But in this case the vaccine didn't stop transmission, nor did it prevent infection and serious outcomes. For example, in New Zealand, the jabbed are being hospitalised and dying at the same rate, or even slightly higher in certain cohorts, than the unjabbed, so no protection is afforded.
