"Biden said the jab stopped the spread, it was lies. How you WOKE but you haven’t opened your eyes?"

> Increases in COVID-19 are unrelated to levels of vaccination across 68 countries and 2947 counties in the United States

If I recall correctly, the Biden administration and the CDC both made public statements telling everyone that they would no longer need to continue wearing masks once they were vaccinated.

:O wow, viruses spread more in places where the virus is, without regard to where the vaccines are? Who would've thunk it!

Are you implying that the lyric is wrong and the pandemic is over?

The lyrics don't say the vaccine would stop the pandemic, it says it would stop the spread, which it does. You are changing the wording to make it seem more reasonable than it is.

Fully vaccinated people are less likely to contract or spread the virus. There's no question about this currently with the present strains. However they do not at all halt the spread of the virus. Israel is a good example of this.

As I have said elsewhere in this thread I don't agree with the lyrics in that video. I find the video itself to be childish and silly but that would basically be 99% of rap and pop music in general.

They do halt the spread. See also: polio, smallpox.

They have not halted the spread because of vaccine misinformation like this very video which you are defending.
