There are a number of reasons to explain the intense push from the Biden administration and the government medical bureaucracy to get people to take the COVID vaccine.
From a wide search of the information available, I find it hard to believe that the actual health of people is one of the reasons.
For example, why demand people with natural immunity get vaccinated? And why insist on vaccinating children when their risk of serious effects from the virus is minuscule? It make no scientific sense especially when the vaccine itself can possibly cause serious health issues for the young.

Immunity, according to the CDC website, is “Protection from an infectious disease. If you are immune to a disease, you can be exposed to it without being infected.” (snip) breakthrough infections, on the rise, challenge the definition of immunity as “being exposed without being infected.” This would explain the CDC’s recent decision to change the definition of vaccine from immunity to only protection.
These immunology basics are taught in high school biology classes and if understandable to teenagers, they should be clear to the medical establishment and leaders of our national health institutions.

Who knew that rapper Nicki Minaj would emerge as a champion for free speech and an outspoken critic of censorship? Even stranger -- Minaj found herself retweeting Tucker Carlson while Carlson championed her on his nightly show.
Strange times indeed -- but alas “adversity makes strange bedfellows.”
Minaj just learned rule number one of the modern illiberal party -- there is zero room for liberty of thought.
Her critical error was having the audacity to question the vaccine narrative and encouraging people to make their own decisions.

We’ve long been used to the fact that banks and credit unions must report to the federal government any transactions greater than $10,000. (snip) But how would you feel if the government requires banks to report to the government — i.e., the IRS — every transaction of $600 or more? Well, if Democrats pass their $3.5 trillion American Families Plan, that’s exactly what will happen. (snip) hen one considers that the Supreme Court’s entire Roe v. Wade justification for abortion was that the Constitution has an implicit guarantee of privacy

Mr. Biden and other liberals are very upset with the unvaccinated. They've laid the blame, with the claim that this is "a pandemic of the unvaccinated."
I call BS. This is a "pandemic of the incompetent."
First, the CDC and NIH watched the virus ravage China and did nothing.
Next, they told President Trump that it was xenophobic to stop travel from China.
Next, they told us the virus was not transmitting human to human.Next, they changed, without reasoning, the reporting requirements for potential deaths associated with the virus to guarantee a higher death total in the U.S.
Next, they misrepresented the data for the projected death toll in America

As late as 3:43 p.m. on Thursday, September 9, the long-lived mantra of the pro-abortion movement, “My Body, My Choice,” was still showing signs of life. It was at that time, that the White House published the remarks made by Vice-President Kamala Harris at a “Reproductive Rights” roundtable. (snip) “And, needless to say,” Harris continued much too quotably, “the right of women to make decisions about their own bodies is not negotiable. (snip) So far is Harris out of the White House power loop that she may not have known the mantra had less than two hours to live.

With the recent spate of “breakthrough cases,” we’re seeing the fully vaccinated getting infected with SARS-2, the novel coronavirus the world has been battling the last two years. (snip) One self-medication is Vitamin C. (snip) I was interested to learn that Zinc in conjunction with certain therapeutics is prescribed for COVID. That’s because I chew Zinc and Vitamin C pills to coat my throat when I feel a sore throat coming on, and it helps. If I ever notice any COVID symptoms, I’ll immediately start chewing C and Zinc tablets; that is, I’ll self-medicate.

This is the image the government - and its media maidens - broadcasts: a red hot map of Covid community spread gone wild. One look at it, and it rightly evokes panic. Five alarm fire. Run - or at least hide - for your lives. The sky is falling, again. Mommy, make it stop! (snip) it is a misleading image.
Instead, if the goal is to reflect reality and priorities - meaning risk - below is the better image. This image shows that a little statistic called “deaths” is down, way down. It shows deaths at near the low point of the 18-month pandemic.

Democrats are crowing about California's Gov. Gavin Newsom surviving his recall election, and by a 64% to 35% margin. (snip) A blue state governor with a huge Democrat-registered majority somehow won his recall election? Not a lot of news in that. Nor is the breakdown -- the rural counties voted against him, the big blue coastal cities voted for him.
Democrats outnumber Republicans in voter registrations 40-25 and Democrats who've been elected have made the state a shambles for decades. In other words, it's not just from Newsom that the state is a mess and there's no sense of a huge sudden crisis, which probably worked to Newsom's advantage.

One of the biggest stories in the media concerns hospitals filled to overflowing with COVID patients. However, as an article in The Atlantic (of all places!) informs us, these numbers are misleading. Almost half of the people in the hospital with COVID are either mildly symptomatic or asymptomatic. In other words, to anyone running around screaming, “We’re all gonna die!” the answer is “No, we’re not.” The biggest story is that of a 73-year-old Alabama man who purportedly died from a treatable heart attack after dozens of hospitals across a three-state region turned him away

There are a great many things coming from Biden, Fauci, the CDC, the State Department, the military, the Justice Department, and basically the Deep State that make no sense. From Biden and the Deep State, we are getting executive orders, mandates, guidelines, decisions, policies, and edicts that just do not make any sort of intellectual sense. It is not just a difference of opinion. It is not just different politics or a different point of view. (snip) The only way to explain what is coming from the placeholder at the White House and the Deep State elites is that they are just evil.

I was shocked and saddened to learn that after a private bout with cancer, Norm Macdonald has succumbed at the age of 61. He has long been one of my favorite comedians, a man whose sense of irony was sharp and whose courage was legendary, (snip) political correctness had no appeal for him. He delighted in outraging the sensibilities of pious leftists, such as this excursion into women and comedy [video] (snip) Here is Norm on white privilege [video] (snip) His 1987 roast of President Clinton (to his face) at the White House Correspondents Dinner is the stuff of legend [video]
