Covid Vaccine

Oh, and Tibilo, speaking of ranting morons spewing asinine conspiracy theories ... remember your conspiracy theory that the information about Hunter Biden's laptop, showing Biden is a sleazebag of the worst order and his stupid greedy father was in on the scam, was "Russian disinformation"?? You remember that, don't you?

The New York Times reported Monday that the FEC ruled that Twitter’s decision to block the New York Post’s article last October about Hunter Biden’s laptop did not violate election laws, even though it was probably the most egregious act of political censorship by a social media company aside from the banning of President Donald Trump — at least Twitter’s excuse that Trump was violating its terms of service could be argued.

As Twitchy reported, the Times did President Biden a solid by noting in its story and tweet that the Post’s story about Hunter’s laptop was ā€œunsubstantiated.ā€

It seems the Times got some blowback for that tweet, as the word ā€œunsubstantiatedā€ has been found to have been quietly removed from the article.

This NYT article no longer calls it ā€œunsubstantiated.ā€ Where the original version said Twitter blocked people ā€œfrom posting links to an unsubstantiated New York Post articleā€ on Hunter Biden, newer version deleted word ā€œunsubstantiated.ā€ No editor’s note. https://t.co/3V0d0zZ6yx https://t.co/Dm0y74mXPw

ā€œNever underestimate the stupidity of the American peopleā€

raw
 
Bear in mind,I am not saying these vaccines are creating variants… there isn’t proof for or against that… just that that scenario exists for low efficiency vaccines
 
I don't think anyone in their right mind is thinking that, Mad.

So just deduct Trog, Tibs & 21.
 
What the world needs right now, is one who rises from from ashes of covid, a bright light, that will show us the way. We have been blessed to have such a man, one to lead us to the promised land. One who's reputation is beyond reproach.

His name.....Michael Avenatti.

Thought you would have said ark. Definitely ark.
 
Lebanon, reading your earlier responses regarding ER overcrowding, I take it your view is this is business as usual in America & perfectly normal?

 
Second time…


For ***** sake JFC! /Floggy

Can you ever stay on point? And seriously, are you really this dumb? Please tell me this is an act??

SIL has made the claim that scientists have made that the vaccines are leaky. Vaccines that are leaky allow the virus to spread. As long as a virus is spreading and finding new hosts, it will mutate/evolve. The flu does this. The cold does this. Covid...is doing this.

SIL may have used the word "create" inappropriately, but we all know his point was that these vaccines may be leaky. So, in your infantile attempts to always be right and try to play "gotcha" you pushed him for a source and he provided you with one 100% solid and appropriate for the conversation: How Vaccines Can Drive Pathogens to Evolve - Just as antibiotics breed resistance in bacteria, vaccines can incite changes that enable diseases to escape their control.

Showing an article from 2018 is apropos because it's about "vaccines" and ya'll do be claim these are vaccines.

So you go off half-cocked saying he's full of **** then post an article that says DELTA DID NOT COME FROM THE VACCINES. Do you not see how these are two different discussions?? He's arguing, rightfully so, that weak vaccines can allow viruses to live on, find new hosts, and evolve.

You come back with some dumb **** fact checking saying the vaccines did not CREATE the Delta variant.

Delta was first spotted in October of last year. So.........it isn't even possible "the vaccines magically made Delta voila!"

None of which changes the fact that Covid is being spread by unvaxed and vaxed people, the vaccines are waning, and the virus has a world full of hosts in which it continues to thrive and EVOLVE.

Could you...for once...argue the topic at hand and stay ON the topic at hand?

Because it sounds like they are ambiguously counterpointing a more ridiculous claim that the mrna vax infects you with a virus in a way that tries to downplay the scenario i just described above… which is disingenuous at best

Exactly.

SIL is arguing these vaccines are allowing the virus to evolve, Floggy is arguing that people think the vaccines are injected into people and CREATE Delta variant.

SMH.

My view is that is not entirely or specifically due to too many Covid patients, I don't say this based on feelings or intuition but from having daughter working directly in this field at the only level 1 trauma center in Cincinnati and considering quitting herself due to the nurse shortage that has greatly reduced available beds in all departments and isn't directly due to an influx of covid patients but a lack of staff. Yes there is an uptick of patients partially due to the rise of Delta and the failing of the vaccines. It wouldn't be a big deal if Hospitals were fully staffed. They're Not and haven't been even before the virus due to a lack of Nurses and Doctors. My daughter, who is making decent money in her second year at the Hospital is still woefully underpaid. She is seriously considering quitting and working as a travel nurse. Travel nurses are being offered up to $10,000 a week due to shortages that existed before Covid and are now exasperated by vaccine mandates which at least a third of nurses in Cincinnati refuse to take and are quitting over. Nurses unlike those who were paid to stay home never got much of anything in extra pay during the worst of it and in fact many had to be laid off in departments that were closed due to needless shutdowns that killed budgets. The people who deserved the most were also ignored by all the legislation passed. Many have quit permanently to make more in other fields. Healthcare is ****** and will only get worse if the left follows through on its plans.

My SIL (see what I did there? LOL) is a travel nurse. Won't get the vax either.
 
I file this in the folder labeled "******* Great News"

My daughter got it as she is a type 1 diabetic as I am sure I have mentioned. Makes her extremely valuable. She feels underappreciated monetarily considering what they are paying travel nurses in the same hospital and screwing their own nurses.
 
This is what the weird leaky virus argument is against these particular vaccines

the mrna ones target a specific spike protein… the articles raising concerns with them that were written mostly pre vaccine release to the public worried that this method ( as well as genetically modified virus vaccines like j&j might not have a great level of effect from virus mutations because its a narrow focus treatment…

as a stopgap it was a good idea, I guess… but long term there were concerns …
This is extremely important… the antibodies and immune response from these vaccines isnt the same as a natural infection nor is it the same as a vaccine that uses the actual dead or sterile virus.
these produce more robust immune responses that typically react better and faster to viral mutations because virus don’t dramatically mutate quickly… the body still usually recognizes them and deals with them accordingly

theoretically the vaccine antibody response in some cases can create a perfect storm where it fights some of but doesn’t kill the infection and like much of evolution, when a portion of the virus is fought off but the mutations that can get around it are left to spread until the body compensates, you get faster viral mutations spread…

this doesn’t happen in many vaccines… most fight the infection and mutations fairly well… this is usually a rarer thing, though using targeted genetic finagling the way these do, yes it was a possibility known at the start.

again, its just time to move to traditional vaccines… china did… the rest of the world seems to be looking at that… maybe we just need a different option to be safe

Nicely worded explanation.
 
I've seen this written about now in about a half dozen outlets.

Nearly half of the "hospitalized" cases of Covid were asymptomatic/not necessary.


A brand new study is calling into question how reliable and meaningful of a number of "patients hospitalized with Covid-19" in the U.S. is.

Covid hospitalizations - the most common metric heard when discussing the seriousness of the pandemic - may not be nearly as meaningful of a number as many once thought. And don't take it from us: The Atlantic published a stunning piece on Tuesday citing a new study that suggests "almost half of those hospitalized with COVID-19 have mild or asymptomatic cases".

The Atlantic had formerly called Covid hospitalizations ā€œthe most reliable pandemic number,ā€ last winter. Now, after a nationwide study of hospitalization records was release, the publication is walking back its fervor on that statement.

I posted about this yesterday… its one of the metrics we wanted to know… and now that it leaked out, we know why its not being advertised…….

again there are basic things that can bias these numbers into scary or relatively meh scenarios… understanding those makes dealing with this kind of situation more manageable

There are different types of deaths and different types of hospitalizations… there are untracked numbers of cases that have to be accounted for…

it was obvious that a good portion of people already in the hospital were going to catch an aerosol transmitted virus… counting them as ā€œhospitalization casesā€ conflates the real cases… also counting cases that are admitted as precautionary was iffy.. they should have been tracked separately as well…

now the interesting question is how many of these were vaxxed or not… because 57% of cases could swing that number either way in this debate…

The other metric we need is deaths by people ineligible for the vaccine aka deathbed cases or severe immune deficiencies… cause again those seriously bias the numbers…

Give us moar daaattttaaaa !!!!!! lol
 
Good point. If someone goes to the ER with mild symptoms, and is sent home with orders to take Tylenol for fever and Robitussin for cough, are they counting that as a 'hospitalization'? The average length of stay would be interesting information.
