Covid Vaccine

obviously the 91% all live near or work with an unvax'd person and that's why they got sick.

My coworker's husband tested positive for the 'Rona on Monday and she tested positive yesterday. They were both vaccinated.
So are me and my whole family. I'm to where I think that it doesn't matter what you do, it's just something that has to work its way through the whole world and people will develop herd immunity.
I went 6 months without a Covid case at the funeral home, now I've had 3 in October. One was older with a number of health problems, the other two were both literally 350 pounds. News saying Allegheny County's cases are up 10%.

Seriously, it is what it is (a bit of a mystery, this one) and it's going to run it's course. And now it's cold/flu season so people are going to get sick - and like we've been doing for so long, we're going to lay in bed (or just straight curl up into the fetal position if the fever is really bad), and hydrate, eat chicken noodle soup, and then get better eventually. Or not, if you're already an extremely unhealthy SOB. I really don't know what else to say, but I haven't and I'm not going to let this **** scare me into submission or living life.

Now there are other viruses I heard about around Wuhan, that perhaps aren't so kind - and if they ever release that **** - that's likely when it's lights out.

Here in NC, hospitalizations have dropped 72% in the last 30 days, and cases have dropped 32% in the last 14 days.

Strange virus this one, how it seems to hammer regions, then nearly disappear almost in the blink of an eye.

My 80-year old stepfather tested positive for it, then got pneumonia (who already has a ton a comorbidities) and he's still kicking. And he was vaxxed. My 75-year old mom tested positive for it as well. Has had 2 open-heart surgeries in her life (not the model of health - she was born with a heart defect), and she was tired a couple days - but otherwise asymptomatic. Common colds can be a coronavirus (mostly rhinovirus though) - so I say live your life and enjoy what you have while you have it - because none of this **** adds up and I don't really care to try at this point. I know that's easier said than done when you have immunocompromised loved ones in your life like you - but what the hell are we gonna do about it anyways?

Oh I agree. I hate seeing people so gripped with fear. I may get sick and die from COVID, but I won't be laying there dying wishing I had done this or that. Wife feels the same way. We go and do what we want to do. Life is to short to be so afraid of dying you stop living.

Maybe they're hoping to get some fresh new exciting variants going in the population.


This **** they're doing with the invited foreign invaders tells you all you need to know about how much they care.

Vaccine mandate my ***. They can all absolutely go to hell.
 
Yay progress! Closing down fire stations, fewer first responders, fewer cops all due to mandates. Brilliant. Absolutely, stunningly brilliant.

Move to Florida. DeSantis is paying $5,000 a head for you folks.

NYC braces for fewer cops, more trash as vax deadline looms

NEW YORK (AP) — Mounting trash. Closed firehouses. Fewer police and ambulances on the street. That's the possibility New York City is bracing for come Monday as a COVID-19 vaccine mandate looms and thousands of municipal workers remain unwilling to get the shots.

OR were in close proximity to where the WooFloo spawns - which we have begun to know as Jitter's Place of Employment (JPE)

Strange that with colleges all back to in person classes and young people partying and going to packed stadiums and somehow campuses haven't turned into the walking dead. It's almost like young people are at low risk.

Young heart muscles help. :)

Totally agree...This is really dark but the way I look at it, if I live my life the way I want to and get sick and die so be it...I've had a good run and I don't want to live in a world where we are all locked down, forced to do this or that and there's this constant state of fear that is consistently getting worse.

Not overly familiar with all of Jimi Hendrix's music, but one of my favorites from him. Funny that one of my favorite Doors songs is Five to One. "No one here gets out alive".

So be it. I'm living my life and not listening to these clowns. And heard Ice Cube turned down $9 million because the producers of a movie he was set to co-star in wanted him to take the jab. Good for him standing up for what he personally believes in over submitting and the almighty dollar.

I think he can afford to though cause that is a lot of scratch, lol.

We'd probably have to take off the gloves and dig into our own nasty critter stockpile.
 
Update on efficacy of vaccine in preventing transmission. Let's be clear - preventing transmission is the ONLY viable justification for forcing people to take a medicine they don't want.

Interpretation​

Vaccination reduces the risk of delta variant infection and accelerates viral clearance. Nonetheless, fully vaccinated individuals with breakthrough infections have peak viral load similar to unvaccinated cases and can efficiently transmit infection in household settings, including to fully vaccinated contacts. Host–virus interactions early in infection may shape the entire viral trajectory.

The rate of transmission by the vaccinated is indeed somewhat lower in the study than the transmission by the unvaccinated (not by much but let's try to be legitimate here), but nowhere near the rate difference needed to justify an order that the unwilling take the vaccine.

The vaccine gives recipients a LOT of protection from downside from the Chinese flu. However, it does NOT prevent transmission. Sorry, Floggy, it doesn't.

Which answers Tim's repeated question as to why the vaccine rates seem to have zero correlation with infection rates. Answer: Because the vaccine does not prevent infection and transmission and instead greatly reduces symptomatology.

Like a shot, not a vaccine.

Make that 4.
 
So is myocarditis a new thing or is the experimental gene therapy really not all that safe and effective?
