It’s laughable that people really think if republicans were in charge any of this would not be happening the same general way but in a flipped demographic… they are two sides of the same crooked stupid coin.:
Covid Vaccine
- Thread starter jitter77
- Start date
They are 13th in vaccination status. Middle of the road would be 25. Wrong again.
You answer the second question.
The article you posted was from December of 2020. It was full of falsehoods they stated at the time that we have learned since simply aren't true.
Likewise, you suggest the Mayo Clinic is a bastion of medical knowledge we should all trust (even their dated and incorrect information), yet EVERY...DAMNED...DAY...you discount the CDC, Johns Hopkins, Stanford, Yale, physicians, researchers, peer reviewed studies, research itself and scientific findings.
Ya can't make it up.
Katie Kirn, RN and teacher in the great state of Michigan. A true front-line hero, who's gone from hero to zero. Please listen to her powerful testimony. She too has resigned. Listen to how she has been harassed and threatened daily.
We are turning into a Communist state.
Mad props to you Katie and all of the other front line workers who know far more about the risks of both COVID and the vaccines than we do, who have the backbone to stand up to this totalitarianism.

1. Nobody is saying you have to stay in your homes.
2. Nobody is saying you have to close your businesses.
Wearing a mask, adhering to simple mitigation guidelines and getting a free & easy vaccine during a worldwide pandemic is a no brainer.
Stop being a whiny **** and get over yourself.

Somebody tap Tim on the shoulder down in his basement, typing away frantically, concocting his latest conspiracy theory.
Experts still advise mask-wearing and say it's safe and effective
The US Centers for Disease Control recommends that people who are not fully vaccinated continue to wear face masks and maintain a physical distance in indoor settings and in crowded outdoor settings. The health agency also advises that fully vaccinated individuals resume wearing masks indoors in parts of the country experiencing spikes in COVID-19 transmissions. Masks are safe and effective at preventing the spread of COVID-19, according to health officials and fact-checkers.

LMAO...according to fact checkers? You might entertain yourself and go research who fact checkers are.
In this and the other thread, you have been presented with hundreds of peer reviewed articles, research, findings by medical professionals and researchers that show masks are nearly 100% ineffective at controlling the spread of COVID. Fauci has said so. Biden's administration health officials have said so.
Science, medical professionals, and legions of your own beloved Progressive world have shown you and told you...they do not work.
Head...in...sand.
And this just out.
Most face masks won't stop COVID-19 indoors, study warns
Despite wearing a face mask, the study finds a large buildup of aerosol droplets suspended in the air coming from wearers.
www.studyfinds.org
New research reveals that cloth masks filter just 10% of exhaled aerosols, with many people not wearing coverings that fit their face properly.
WATERLOO, Ontario — N95 or KN95 face masks may be the best way to avoid COVID-19 during crowded indoor events. That’s the recommendation from a new study reporting most cloth masks just don’t do the job when it comes to stopping the spread of coronavirus within enclosed spaces.Researchers from the University of Waterloo simulated a person breathing in a large room with a cloth face mask on. Despite wearing a mask, the study finds a large buildup of aerosol droplets suspended in the air. Besides raising awareness on the vulnerability of certain face masks, these findings also emphasize the need for proper ventilation indoors. More ventilation means less of a chance for potentially viral aerosols to linger around.
----------
Ventilation is far more important and more effective due to aerosols hanging in the air. This is why with contact tracing we saw so few cases of COVID caught in public in office buildings, retail, gyms. They have far greater HVAC systems than people do in their homes.

I wonder why the choice to resign? Why not make the ******** fire you?
This is truly Orwellian evil.
The pain, exhaustion and utter disbelief in her voice that this is happening in America was pretty evident. These are getting hard to watch.
That study came out about three weeks after a hilariously biased one from the same general Canadian group saying they were 99% effective and tge second one still was a total joke of methodologiesLMAO...according to fact checkers? You might entertain yourself and go research who fact checkers are.

Even the one you posted Tim was absolutely absurd in it’s conclusions…
it states that 90% of the viral load escapes standarg surgical masks through the sides, but advocates N95 ones that are fitted and then states that they reduce tge viral load by 50%…. So in other words 50% of the viral load even in multilayered cloth masks are escaping … and since these are not large respiratory droplets they aren’t falling out within 6 feet and there is a limited culmination of viral load in stagnant air supplies….
shift from masks to ionic air filtration… that is way better anyhow
There's another Bingo. You should go down to the nearest senior center and clean house.
I understand the vaccine argument, but that people are even discussing the efficacy of these ridiculous masks is a joke.

It dawned on me why there's such a difference of opinion around here regarding masks, mitigation measures, vaccines.
It seems Tim and many others here start off at a 100% certainty point, and work back from there.
Meaning, that any and all measures should achieve 100% guaranteed results. If they don't, they're worthless.
It's all or nothing.
- If masks can't stop 100% of air particles and can't guarantee you won't be infected, they're worth nothing.
- If social distancing, the use of hand sanitizer & other mitigation measures aren't bulletproof, let's dismiss them out of hand.
- If vaccinations can't guarantee you won't be infected, get sick & hospitalized or die, screw the vaccines, they suck.
- If there are studies out there raising questions about any of the above, that's good enough reason to reject them all.
I, on the other hand, start from scratch. Begin at point zero, with the understanding there's a dangerous, airborne virus out there that's become a worldwide pandemic. Unchecked & left to its own devices, Covid can be dangerous and deadly to myself and my loved ones.
So let's build up from there.
- If masks can be even slightly helpful in not catching this virus, I'll gladly wear one to protect myself & my family.
- If social distancing, using hand sanitizer, abiding by CDC guidelines can help even a little, I'm all for it.
- If the vaccine improves my chances of not getting infected and infecting others, helps keep me from getting really sick or dying, sign me up immediately.
So it's a top-down approach vs. a bottom-up one.
That's why there's such a huge void between how we see this, individually & collectively.

“Yes, we’re to blame but if Trump won the election then the democrats would be to blame” is a pointless and pathetic hypothetical.

OK, I’m going to go with 97% of Oregon’s hospitalized are unvaccinated…
Unvaccinated 29 times more likely to be hospitalized with COVID-19, CDC study says
The two datasets out Tuesday add to the emerging evidence that protection from COVID-19 shots decreases over time.

I think the issue is more, if things help only a little and you're willing to do them, great. Good for you. I do them, I might even try to persuade others to do the same.
That doesn't mean people should be forced to do them. It certainly doesn't mean people should be forced to do them ad infinitum.
I've been saying from the beginning of all this, I actually think mask mandates have resulted in a net loss of people willing to wear them. People don't like being forced to do things, especially things that are probably only mildly beneficial.

A guy I work with was on vacation in Florida, contracted COVID, and died Sunday. He was unvaccinated. He was a black guy that was a staunch Democrat. Point is, COVID is coming for all of us. **** doesn't care who you voted for or what you believe. I personally think vaccination is the way to go, but to each his own. I know I'm tired of all this ****. Tired of the masks, the bickering, the nonsense. Pretty sure the vaccines are safe. I mean, how many vaccines have you heard about that 10 years down the road you develop complications? Most vaccines, you get your side effects or complications anywhere from a couple hours to a couple weeks after injection. I'm going on 7 months fully vaccinated. No issues. Feel like I'm pretty good to go. Vaccine injury is historically low, and the same holds true here. Just admit it's political and get on with it.

I appreciate her service.
I wonder why, if as we hear over and over again on this site, there is virtually no risk to her from covid, she says that she risked her life and lived in fear of getting covid for months. Sounds like she saw some stuff that might have scared her.
I would also ask her for the data on her assertion that the mortality rate from this vaccine is higher than any other. I can only assume she's referring to VAERS data, which as we know is not and should not be interpreted as mortality rate data. As an RN she would know that so I would be curious about what data she's referring to. I would want to ask her how many deaths she's seen that were caused by a vaccine, vs. deaths she's seen caused by covid. Sounds like she saw a whole heck of a lot of covid deaths.
IDK, two weeks ago, no one was wearing them, today I was in 3 or 4 stores and I'd guess 40% were masked. The fear mongering is real.

Agree. And once this is forced on you, what's next? I think everyone should be vaccinated. But it isn't up to me. And besides, I'd never make anyone get the shot anyway. I think it's stupid not to, but people have their reasons. Pretty sure it is mostly political, even if people won't admit it.
We live in a totalitarian state now.
