I am self employed and have been paying for health insurance for 30+ years. I broke my shoulder in a snowboarding accident 15 years ago and other than that, I get an annual physical. I pay more than $20K per year, so I am already paying more than my fair share. It is odd to see a comment on personal responsibility coming from your side. I am responsible for my health. I do not need the government to tell me how to take care of my health or how to avoid a virus. Those consuming government products carry a significantly higher risk than I do. As far as infecting others, I safely delivered groceries to the elderly long before the vaccine. Since the vaccine doesn't prevent infection, but only reduces symptoms, those with light symptoms will go to work and become the Covid version of Typhoid Mary. Who is responsible for any long-term damage cause by this rushed product?
Made up horse hockey. Show us any statement to that effect by the CDC. By the CDC mind you, not Billy Joe Jim Bob's honest reporting and lawn care. 5% of the vaccinated do not develop resistance 95% do and only in extremely unusual cases do they become carriers. 100% of the non vaccinated can be carriers.
That's not what 95% relative risk reduction means. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanmic/article/PIIS2666-5247(21)00069-0/fulltext
Still, it is exponentially less disturbing than people who search around the most ludicrous tinfoil hat blogs on the internet for confirmation bias... Pot meet kettle...
I read the article .. and what it says is that 4 of the 5 people hospitalized were vaxxed - which is exactly in line with what one would expect if the vax had zero ability to prevent serious illness - which is why this is a bit shocking.
And natural immunity is achieved under house lockdowns and behind masks.. The whole thing has been a contradiction from the very get go..
Fake News. 80% of the hospilizations in the outbreak in the opening post were vaccinated, only 20% were unvaccinated. A significant part of this surge is recklessness by the vaccinated when caution is in order. A vaccinated 80 year old has the same risk for COVID death as an unvaccinated 50 year old. Another problem, and everyone knows it, are the COVID reckless open borders policies. As Biden Fails to Convince Democrat Constituencies to Get the Vaccine, and As He Allows Hundreds of Thousands of Infected Illegal Aliens to Infect Americans, Biden Tries Shifting the Blame to Florida and Texas. His despicable "AG sued the state of Texas for trying to keep its citizens free of infection from covid-ridden illegal aliens being secretly dispersed around the state to create super-spreader events." "A federal judge, naturally enough", granted an injunction against Abbot's ban on using Texas' roads to deploy the virus against its citizens. Rapin' Biden turns a Texas Town into a disaster by injecting COVID infected illegals into the unsuspecting city. Hunter's Dad "demanded that Abbot specifically "get out of the way" of Biden's supposed efforts to control the spread of covid -- even as Biden acts to prevent him from controlling the spread of covid." Biden Super Spreaders: "All morning long we’ve watched Border Patrol drop off multiple bus loads of migrants at a Catholic charity in downtown McAllen, where they are given food & shelter before they take buses and flights across the United States. Buses arriving every 30 minutes so far." "NY will require vaccine passport for indoor activities incl restaurants. Not seeing much coverage from the race-obsessed media about how this disproportionately impacts the freedoms of black & Hispanic people." Left planted the doubt seeds on COVID vaccines, from Joe to Kamala to various Fake News Mouthpieces 2021 Joy Reid says that 2020 Joy Reid was the voice of a Death Cult.
Good read. Written by ICU doctor. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/icu-...ad2ae4b000b997df1f17?utm_source=pocket-newtab "I thought when this pandemic began that we were all in this fight together, engaged in a war against a common enemy. Now, I painfully realize: Perhaps we were never on the same side and we never had a common enemy. Perhaps the war has been among ourselves all along. We have won many battles but unvaccinated America is choosing to let COVID win the war. "
Fake News. Surge is being heavily promoted by some on the Left's reckless open borders policies and the risky behaviour of the vaccinated-privileged. Scientist: I partied with 14 vaccinated friends and 11 of us got infected "Vax-to-vax transmission" Biden's CDC is letting us down again. CDC has yet to update its guidance and encourage vaccinated people to mask up and isolate once they know they’ve been exposed to someone who’s infected. The current guidance is still that the vaxxed don't need to change their behavior after exposure. The CDC is clearly publishing Fake News and if Twitter and Facebook and Psaki had any integrity they would urging censorship of the CDC, but, they have no integrity, so this shouldn't be an issue. It's time for the vaccine-privileged to stop pretending so that they can be reckless super spreaders. Immunization is not an impregnable shield against COVID. You still catch it, even from other vaccinated and you still spread it, even to vaccinated. The CDC has been sitting on data that falsifies the lies multiple officials are telling us when they claim that 99 percent of deaths are among the unvaccinated and 95% of hospitalizations are unvaccinated. The CDC Director, Walensky, after being repeatedly shamed for hiding the ball is finally starting to lay the groundwork for revealing that this simply is not true. The vaxxed are catching it, the vaxxed are being hospitalized and the vaxxed are dying from it. It's long past time for the loud mouthed hectoring privileged vaxxed to shut the hell up and return to the responsible behavior they were engaging in prior to vaccination. It's long past time for the Biden CDC to issue an emergency order sealing the border. These reckless sob's are so fkn eager to replace American voters that they only too happy to kill Americans with their reckless policies with infected illegals. Speaking for America, I assure you that we see right through the BS and we WILL be heard in the upcoming election. Elections that thanks to the good work of several Red State Governors and Red State Legislatures will be elections where it is Easy to Vote and Hard to Cheat, which has Biden, Pelosi and rest of the over-aged washed-up has-beens shaking in their overpriced shoes.
That's a possibility. Another possibility is that the attendees were vaxxed at the national average which IIRC is close to 50%. Which do you think is more likely? What conclusions can you draw?
Covid-19 vaccines no longer prevent transmission, CDC director says On the upside, I'm seeing more people masking up in the supermarket, some stores are requiring masks now too! Covid-19 vaccines no longer prevent transmission, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said Thursday. “Our vaccines are working exceptionally well,” Walensky told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “They continue to work well for Delta, with regard to severe illness and death – they prevent it. But what they can't do anymore is prevent transmission.” That is why the CDC is recommending even vaccinated people wear masks indoors again, Walensky said. “If you're going home to somebody who has not been vaccinated, to somebody who can't get vaccinated, somebody who might be immunosuppressed or a little bit frail, somebody who has comorbidities that put them at high risk, I would suggest you wear a mask in public indoor settings.” From CNN's Lauren Mascarenhas
The OP and the referenced article do not say the same thing. Before you applaud for the nonn-vaxxers, read the article that the OP mis-quoted
Yikes, sounds like more vaccine research needs done. During the daily conversation today, somebody I know took the vaccine and got very sick. He had already had the Covid. I had the Covid, not getting a vaccine. Natural human immunity>Artificial vaccines.
There are hospitals packed with Covid patients [mostly all over trumpland] and almost none of those people were vaccinated. The handful of vaccinated people who got sick enough to need hospitalization were mostly immune compromised. Then he didn't have immunity. You get sick from the immune system response.
I listen to actual experts and repeat what they say, I don't blame the real media for presenting real science. And you are the one playing doctor. What credible expert like Fauci says you shouldn't get the vaccine? This is crackpot land.
