ADE and efficacy are two different issues entirely. I have not seen any evidence to this point of ADE actually occurring. Lower efficacy based on mutations is absolutely to be expected based on this be a virus and it as you know the reason we have to just ******* move on and deal with it like it is the flu. The fear from the left over the virus and the fear from the other side on the vaccine is getting old. You know my position, take the vaccine, don't take the vaccine but unless you have a very specific problem just go live your life, just don't tell me how to live mine with this damn virus that is horrible but also not anything to live in fear over.Correct. We have the J&J (traditional), the Pfizer and Moderna (mRNA) vaccines. Not sure it matters which of the three would be the culprit. The fact that ADE may exist in these vaccines, regardless the type, is scary if it is happening.
Look at where we are, the RAPID change we have seen in a month and a half....
Vaccinations were rising. The USA is 52% fully vaccinated. 61% partially. Half of Americans supposedly have had COVID and have natural antibodies.
At the beginning of July we were at less than 10K cases per day and less than 200 deaths a day.
End of August, we are now averaging 95K cases per day (850% increase) and 1,135 deaths per day (468% increase).
Using logic, what are the reasons? If we are 52% fully vaccinated, if 150M Americans have natural antibodies, what is causing this pretty intense wave of cases? Do the vaccines work? They don't appear to be very effective at all right the moment. They are NOT preventing the spread. Deaths are rising.
The flu shot isn't this ineffective. I can't say what is happening, but it sure looks suspicious with regards to the vaccines. Spread is rising. Deaths are rising. And that is not all due to the unvaccinated. The #s of vaccinated people the world over who are hospitalized now is shocking.
On a personal note, I hear daily of someone I know here or there who's vaccinated who's gotten the virus. A college professor at my kids school came to classes, said her daughter had the virus (but she stupidly came to teach class after being exposed to her) saying "But I'm vaccinated so we are good." 2 days later she's on leave because she has the virus.
My son's friends, all vaccinated...3 got it. 2 more friends I know of, vaccinated, got it.
Is ADE or leaky vaccines coming true? I don't know, but we are now being advised of 3rd and 4th booster shots.
Every single point keeps coming back to the efficacy of the vaccines (shots) and it doesn't look good.

No one is pushing to use this drug this way Tibs that is another flat out lie.
To a base, in fact, that has been encouraged to look for any solution besides the one recommended by experts it doesn’t trust. Which brings us to the third recent development: the emergence of ivermectin.
You’ve probably heard about this drug recently. Promotion of ivermectin as a treatment or preventive for covid on Fox News and elsewhere has led to it being used broadly in places where the disease is rampant. Feed stores are selling out of the drug — since it’s commonly available as an anti-parasite treatment for livestock. In Mississippi, poison control centers have seen a spike in people reporting that they’d ingested the drug, with severe adverse effects.
Top conservative media personalities — including Fox News hosts Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham — have mentioned ivermectin as a drug that could possibly be used to treat Covid-19.
This is part of a recent theme in right-wing media of attacking public health officials for promoting the highly effective coronavirus vaccines as the best path out of the pandemic instead of potential therapeutics to treat the virus.
Throughout the pandemic, Fox News, talk-radio, and right-wing websites have promoted unproven therapeutics to treat Covid-19 while simultaneously casting doubt on the effectiveness of vaccines and masks.
"Taking a drug for an unapproved use can be very dangerous. This is true of ivermectin, too," the FDA said on its website. "There's a lot of misinformation around, and you may have heard that it's okay to take large doses of ivermectin. That is wrong."
A Fox News spokesperson didn't respond to a request for comment on Monday when asked about the network's hosts promoting ivermectin.
My mother was given that in the Hospital and it is a legitimate treatment option for clinical trials, Just because dumbasses try to self treat with the wrong thing doesn't invalidate the treatment option. While there is disagreement over its effectiveness properly used in clinical trials and off label it is safe. Going out and injecting yourself with something is just stupid no matter what.Lebanon, I find it odd you don't know about this. Been going on for months, no joke.

I'm truly shocked nobody's sued the socks off FoxNews by now.
"current" is not the same as ... last year.What lockdowns? Occasionally I go somewhere that requires masks, that’s about the extent of the current “lockdowns”. THANKS TO THOSE THAT GOT VACCINATED.
You’re so defeated you have to make up your own reality.
your blinders are so tight that you must be literally unable to breathe.Lebanon, I find it odd you don't know about this. Been going on for months, no joke.

It’s quite clear that your are rooting against the vaccines and for the highly vaccinated states to see surges similar to the retarded southern states.
Whats wrong with you?
“They”, aka the entire world.
Would you demand an apology if I called your kid “mosquito bite kid”?
You pick and choose when you think Covid is serious.

I don’t understand what you mean by this, please expound.The vaccinated states are getting their waves. Just grab your popcorn and keep watching.

So what? Keep watching why?Because you're a dip ****. Nothing changes.
Cases are rising in vaccinated states, as I pointed out in great detail yesterday. Cases are dropping in the areas previously hit.
The wave began in Louisiana and Alabama and the map and the cases showing it moving north. Just keep watching. The vaccines aren't stopping the spread. Higher vaccinated states are now getting their waves.
Daily Reported Cases (7 day average)
MN is 55.4% fully vaccinated, IL is 50.7% fully vaccinated, Michigan is 50.2% fully vaccinated, New York 59.5% fully vaccinated, MA is 65.6% fully vaccinated, DC is 56.9% fully vaccinated, PA is 54.6% fully vaccinated. The Northeast Corridor, highly vaccinated, is lighting up.
Clearly you can read a map?
COVID is spreading and growing in the higher vaccinated states. Just keep watching.

We’ll eventually see the vaccinated states reach the same levels that we are seeing in the unvaccinated states.
Um there are a bunch of papers backing that treatment… its been used abroad a lot and is in use in the US… much like several other drugs ypu cannot just get any products with it and take it… it has to be a medically regulated dose made for human consumption… there is a web md page for it… its an antiparasite medicine….Lebanon, I find it odd you don't know about this. Been going on for months, no joke.

Be specific. Vaccinated states will see cases at 150+% of their winter surge like Florida, Mississippi and Louisiana are seeing now?Bingo. On record. Exactly.
Admission that what we are doing isn't working, the vaccines aren't stopping the spread, masking isn't working, and we need a new approach.
BTW...you're needed in the Taliban thread. In case you didn't leave your bubble today, Xiden really ****** the pooch. We are all super interested in your profound musings on that topic.

Results: SARS-CoV-2-naïve vaccinees had a 13.06-fold (95% CI, 8.08 to 21.11) increased risk for breakthrough infection with the Delta variant compared to those previously infected, when the first event (infection or vaccination) occurred during January and February of 2021. The increased risk was significant (P<0.001) for symptomatic disease as well. When allowing the infection to occur at any time before vaccination (from March 2020 to February 2021), evidence of waning natural immunity was demonstrated, though SARS-CoV-2 naïve vaccinees had a 5.96-fold (95% CI, 4.85 to 7.33) increased risk for breakthrough infection and a 7.13-fold (95% CI, 5.51 to 9.21) increased risk for symptomatic disease. SARS-CoV-2-naïve vaccinees were also at a greater risk for COVID-19-related-hospitalizations compared to those that were previously infected.
the blood clotting issue with J and J is extremely minimal… the other one that isn’t allowed in the us has a much higher rate… if i was going to get one of the bioengineered vaccines it actually would be J&J, but there are some other potential long term conditions id like to see explored more before I did![]()
Covid — not vaccinations — presents biggest blood clot risk, large study finds
The risk of rare blood clotting is significantly higher as a result of catching Covid-19 than it is from being vaccinated against the virus, a study has found.www.cnbc.com
Nice and peer reviewed too.
You guys who are fearing the vaccines more than an extremely contagious virus that can literally suffocate you to death in worst case scenarios can continue to believe whatever you want.
At 200 x the viral load, there are probably kids flinging Covid boogers everywhere.a study out of oxford found that the viral load among the AZ vaccinated that the vaccinated who had covid had over 200 times the viral load as the unvaccinated in their nostrils … bioengineering fail there… fortunately that vaccine isn’t allowed here… though as far as i know nobody has repeated that study with any of the other vaccines…
they are trying to isolate why highly vaccinated areas are having higher outbreaks than lower vaccinated areas… this might be why
