Covid Vaccine

My daughter's boyfriend just tested positive. I'm going to get tested tomorrow. I've had a headache and stuffy nose for a few days.

Hope you feel better soon Steelin. Best wishes to you both.
 
There is some risk to the vaccine, but I am more worried about the long term effects from COVID.

What long-term effects are you talking about specifically? The virus coming here is likely less than a year old.
 
Yes, the death rate of Ebola is much higher, but it is far less contagious. If 50% of 400 people die, 200 people die. If 1% of 300 million people die, 3 million people die.

Not sure why some people can't grasp that math.

Meanwhile tens of thousands of people have taken the vaccine and none of them have died. But that's what we're supposed to be more afraid of? Ok.

Point taken. Ebola is in fact less contagious than COVID.
But than I point to the flu. Just as contagious as COVID. Transmitted exactly the same way. Kills at the same clip ( by CDC projections, because it’s not a reportable disease ) as COVID. Approximately the same percentage rate.
But we’re not overreacting to the flu in the same manner. Why? Because it’s been around longer?

Funny how we don't hear about the flu anymore. We are now in the flu season and COVID cases have spiked. Must be just a coincidence.
 
COVID deaths are so over inflated.

“The case definition is very simplistic,” Dr. Ngozi Ezike, director of Illinois Department of Public Health, explains. “It means, at the time of death, it was a COVID positive diagnosis. That means, that if you were in hospice and had already been given a few weeks to live, and then you also were found to have COVID, that would be counted as a COVID death. It means, technically even if you died of [a] clear alternative cause, but you had COVID at the same time, it’s still listed as a COVID death.”
 
I’m no immunologist/biologist/infectious disease doctor.....didn’t even stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. But I work for a large Healthcare System, and have been in the field for 2 decades. Some thoughts using common sense.

1) When the doctor came back from Africa having been exposed to Ebola, and was quarantined, there was a HUGE uprising about infringing on her rights......Ebola.
2) Ebola has a 50% death rate. FIFTY PERCENT.
3) COVID has a 3% death rate.

Trump wasn't President when we had Ebola. This year the Dems and media had to wreck the economy to win an election.

The wife and I just had a conversation about the vaccine this morning. We're both on the fence. I have a regular doctor appointment next week and I'll see what she says. I'm leaning toward taking it since I have The Beetus.

The tests themselves are woefully inaccurate. Tons of false positives. My GF is director of nursing at a facility where they've had residents test positive. Then the same person the next day is negative. Then the next day positive. Sometimes people get sick. You don't shut down our way of life because of it. You know what this "virus" kills the most? Small businesses.
 
, Nineteen out of twenty people get it and have little symptoms or regular cold symptoms. The 20th ends up on a ventilator and has life threatening symptoms. And nobody knows why.

Because instead of Covid they used to call it colds, flu and pneumonia.

How many people died of pneumonia this year?
 
Sorry to hear that. They didn't call it Covid?

Surprisingly no, he did have a long list of comorbidities though, diabetes, cardiovascular disease. This was in Virginia, my sister and her large family attended the services and were exposed to covid there. Only one niece came down with symptoms and felt like crap for a couple of weeks.
The entire clan (approximately 20) from Florida did quarantine for 10 days and were fine.
 
 
What, you don't trust our 'health experts' and those pumping out information like this?

Given that he's 78 years old and with what we now know here, why in the world hasn't Biden received the vaccine?

Looks like she's not the only one suffering 'complications':

why dont we test the vaccine on those of society with ill-repute, vermin, scum, those who offer the world nothing but consume as much as possible - the low-lifes, dregs of society, the gum smear on the bottom of your shoe, the scent wafting from a wastewater treatment facility, hopeless causes, derelicts... OGRE.
 
The Covid vaccine would refuse to enter Ogre's bloodstream, if it really is blood that's pumping through it's veins. Maybe more like sludge.

You're assuming a needle could get through his scaly amphibian skin.
 
There is some risk to the vaccine, but I am more worried about the long term effects from COVID.

You can't get more long term than messing with your DNA.

These folk are too busy rigging an election.
