Been there done that twice. I had Covid before we knew what was making us all sick. In Dec of 2019 the So Cal ER's and urgent care clinics were standing room only. I fought it off without being hospitalized but it was bad. I had one of the variants about 3 months ago, it was no worse than my every springtime allergies. Anti-bodies testing proved it was Covid. Now here the kicker, I am 64 years old, have very bad liver problems and stage 3 kidney failure. I had those problems in Dec of 2019. Breathing was difficult but not life threatening. I attribute that to never smoking. I still have had no vaccinations and here I am. This is why I won't.........It's like playing Russian roulette taking vaccines with no long term study's for side effects. My natural immunity is the way nature meant it to be.
Rampart I love this graph! Can you please tell me where you got it from? And why you should trust this source?
So you’re saying you got it from the CDC? Which I’m also assuming publishes where it gets its data from and how it was collected? And probably meets all sorts of rules and regulations to be publishable? In effect making it a reliable source? And anyone who disagrees with it unable to spot what a good source looks like?
i believe that it is a good faith representation of the best available data. some states (florida, texas, south dakota) may be reporting politicized data, but, for the most part, these are good people doing their jobs.
I had both shots, the booster, the flu shot then got COVID. I have throughout defended people's right to not get shots if they so choose. I personally think you take anything from the government, or even worse, Big Pharma, with a healthy dose of salt. The CDC shortening the quarantine from 10 to 5 days was about keeping Joe's economy going in the face of a massive waive of new cases, not the science of it all.
Your data is wrong. Biden has already said that all 350 million Americans have been vaccinated. Did you make up this chart and data on Excel?
Hmm, fake-science worshippers believe that Fauci is the human incarnation of science. This must be how the Roman Imperial Church begin.
Where is the data on existing illnesses? It requires profound levels of gullibility to believe that a pharma product is the only factor.
Get ALL your boosters! In fact, get a booster every four months from here on out! You'll enlarge wealth of Big Pharma and burn out your own natural immune system! Doesn't that sound great?!!
Or you can get the bonus ailments from vaccines with no long term testing. What surprises do we have in store for the vaccinated 5 years down the road?
The crackpots do seem impervious to unambiguous empirical public health data and demonstrable errancy: In multiple clinical trials, the empirical data has confirmed the indisputable effectiveness of being fully vaccinated over submitting to the crackpot, ideologically-correct notions of blowhard media entertainers: White evangelicals dying of Covid after denouncing Vaccine Famous Anti-Vaxxers Who Have Died From COVID-19 COVID-19 Cases and Deaths by Vaccination Status Dashboard Perhaps, citing a few of the of the martyrs for ignorance fittingly underscores the wisdom of taking public health experts seriously in matter of public health over the aberrant notions of folks with no qualifications but an eagerness to flaunt their dogma. Ex-Washington State Trooper Robert LaMay LaMay made headlines a few months ago for quitting his job after Washington Gov. Jay Inslee instituted a vaccine mandate. He made the rounds on the conservative news circuit after reportedly telling the governor to kiss his a**. Reports indicate he died from COVID-19 complications. Kelly Ernby California Deputy District Attorney Kelly Ernby has died at the age of 46 from complications due to COVID-19. Ernby, a Republican activist who was outspoken against the COVID-19 vaccine, ran for California State Assembly in 2020. Marcus Lamb The founder of the largest Christian television TV channel who just happens to be anti-vaccine has died of the coronavirus. In an example of the stance embraced by Lamb, Daystar said in a court filing that a vaccine mandate was a “sin against God’s Holy Word.” Instead of the vaccine, Lamb prior to his death treated his condition with ivermectin. Bob Enyart Bob Enyart, a Denver-based pastor and talk show host, died in September. He was against mask mandates he was in addition to his opposition to the COVID-19 vaccine. About a month before his death, Enyart wrote on his website that he and his wife “have sworn off taking the Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson vaccines because, as those firms admit, they tested these three products on the cells of aborted babies.” Marc Bernier Marc Bernier was a conservative, right-wing radio host in Florida who dubbed himself “Mr. Anti-Vax.” He regularly protested against the vaccine as was not vaccinated. He died August 30, 2020. Phil Valentine Phil Valentine was a conservative talk show host who died August 21, 2021 from COVID-19 after expressing skepticism about the vaccine. He had also not been vaccinated. Dick Farrel Dick Farrel was a conservative talk show host from Florida. He was an avid Trump supporter who changed his mind about the vaccine after her fell sick from the virus, but it was too late. He died after a two-week battle on August 4, 2021. Tod Tucker Tod Tucker was a conservative talk show host from Oklahoma City, OK. He did on August 11, 2021, after an onset of viral pneumonia as the result of COVID-19. Dr. Jimmy DeYoung Sr. Dr. Jimmy DeYoung Sr. was a Christian radio host and Bible Prophecy Teacher. DeYoung, who died August 15, 2021, once called the vaccine “government control,” and was not vaccinated. Caleb Wallace Caleb Wallace was the Founder of the “The San Angelo Freedom Defenders” anti-mask group and he organized anti-mask rallies. He died August 28, 2021. He had been unconscious and on a ventilator for weeks before he died. Herman Cain Herman Cain was an American businessman and activist for the Tea Party movement. He was an active Trump supporter who unfortunately didn’t live long enough to become a true anti-vaxxer. Before he died, he vocally opposed to masks and stay at home orders. He died July 30, 2020, from COVID-19. https://newsone.com/playlist/famous-anti-vaxxers-who-have-died-from-covid-19/item/11 REBUTTAL: "It is a great vaccine. It is a safe vaccine, and it is something that works!"
The science is clear and well established. Vaccinated people have a lower rate of hospitalization and death than unvaccinated. It is numbers, not emotions. Oddly you want to support the rare problems encountered with the vaccines instead of the actual science. Yes all of this has risk. But the risk is lower with vaccination. Sorry.
I don't believe them. A guy crashed his motorcycle and died shortly after in a hospital ED. He was listed as a Covid death. They make no differentiation between "dying WITH Covid" and "dying FROM Covid".
SIAP. This is misinformation. Don't get your boosters 'cause every time you get the booster you experimentally and permanently change your immune system via chemical means with zero studies of the effects of said multiple boosters. Besides, the boosters are designed to prevent great sickness for a variant of Covid which has already burned itself out, and if you're concerned about number of cases (which you shouldn't be), the boosters won't deter number of cases. Lastly if you get the boosters, you won't let your natural immune system adapt to Covid and fight Covid and not letting your natural immune system adapt to Covid and fight Covid will cause Covid restrictions to be permanent restrictions as long as some dopes are concerned about number of cases.
Did you have to go to the hospital? That's what the vaccine prevents, having to go to the hospital (and dying). It doesn't keep you from getting COVID. It's not like some sort of force shield that keeps COVID microbes off your body entirely. I would defend people's right not to get shots too IF they would (and could) refuse to go to a hospital if they got sick (with COVID), but they won't, and the hospitals won't let people just die anyway. As it is I find it terribly inconsiderate of people to refuse an easily available vaccine and then contribute to clogging up the hospitals we all need all the time, but what the hell, that's conservatism for you.
~ A funny thread ~ We do know that 5 months down the road the "vaccine " is useless in protection but does appear to increase the chances of infection.
I agree that this is misinformation, it also makes no sense. If a variant of COVID has "burned out" that just means it has infected most everyone it READILY can. You, however, might have been temporarily resistant, or more likely just lucky in not contracting it until now. It's still around and you can still get it, "burned out" doesn't mean it has ceased to exist. Why couldn't it be that the vaccine just gives your immune system some "heads up" and enables it to fight off the bacteria on its own better? If it has never met COVID or any vaccine to it how will it build up resistance to something it doesn't "know" exists? (And I know the immune system doesn't "know" anything. It just fights off disease as best it can, it has to contract the disease first)
