Don't think I've seen any studies on that, would be a hard thing to pinpoint... only that the people who have the most virus content seem to be the ones most sickly.

 

Would be a great research project.  Maybe we can get the unvaxed folks from VJ to volunteer.

Like I said earlier. we have 4 managers at our desk. 3 were " oh this is some big govt conspiracy. those 3 are all out with the rona. One who is in his 30's is on 100% oxygen. The one manager who got vaxxed is just fine. Unfortunately he is having work bell to bell 6 days a week.

 

I just turned on enhanced spell check. You heathens get ready

If you live in a state with a low vaccination rate, you're 4 times more likely to be hospitalized and more than 5 times more likely to die

We dont really disagree. I agree I think the mask thing has become more symbolic than anything else.

 

Now the vaccine. Proven without a doubt it saves lives. As far as mandatory goes. Not on that train

Then we agree on both counts.  See how easy that was?  

 

Now we simply have to wait and see how the conversation pans out on the long-term safety of the vaccine, eh?  I am seeing articles pop up this week that the "vaccines" may not be as safe as originally thought.  Only time will tell.  We are on such shifting, experimental grounds here.  Best of luck to all, regardless of their stance.

CNN, seriously?  Yet more proof that you are now seeing the middle of the left ditch as your new "middle of the road".  C'mon man, you know you can't do that, can't do the thing if you are using CNN as your... you know, that one thing!!

 

Just found out yesterday that a dear friend has covid in one of them thar low-vaccine states.  In his 60s.  Obese.  In the hospital on IV fluids.  Sad.  Oh, and fully "vaxxed". Delta Don't Care.  DDC... you read it here first!

I am seeing the opposite where I work. Vaccinated people out sick. Unvaccinated people at work.

According to NBs favorite news source (CNN), 99.99% of Americans who are fully vaccinated have not died from covid.

 

And on other "news" sites, 98.4% of Americans haven't died from covid.

New rule is that we are not allowed to criticize what the source is.

Yes, it is a tool, but not a very effective one.  Much like using a pickax to remove the weeds from a window planter.  I'd wager that keeping your distance (something I was doing decades before it became popular) and good hygiene are more effective tools.  Just my opinion though.

After the CDC recommended fully vaccinated people get masks, I decided to buy a bunch of KN95s thinking if I have to wear a mask, I might as well wear one that does something.  
 

Wife had to get an image done at the hospital today.  There was a line outside the door to check vax status. So we get to the front of line and are told we need to wear their surgical masks instead of our KN95s.  In a hospital. Where there are sick people.  Who have Covid.  Or have compromised immune systems making it more likely they will succumb to Covid if they catch it.  
 

If public health authorities really cared about this, they would make people wear KN95s or N95s.  
 

Masks are just pandemic theater.

I believe it was a joke.

I guess more than one of us fail at being funny then because I didn't get that read? Oh well. It's a timely reminder anyway. Most of us are generally very good about it.

"Rules for thee, not for me", the democractic mantra, eh?

Considering that NB laughed at my post, I think he got the humor just fine.

Good point.  I've seen him laugh at some really painful jokes before.  Perhaps he was just being nice to me and didn't see the humor after all.

Dr. Matt Hepburn: It's a sensor.

Bill Whitaker: This tiny green thing in there?

Dr. Matt Hepburn: That tiny green thing in there, you put it underneath your skin and what that tells you is that there are chemical reactions going on inside the body and that signal means you are going to have symptoms tomorrow.

Bill Whitaker: Wow. There's an-- an actual transmitter in that--

Dr. Matt Hepburn: Yeah. It's like a "check engine" light.

Bill Whitaker: Check this sailor out before he infects other people?

Dr. Matt Hepburn: That's right.

Sailors would get the signal, then self-administer a blood draw and test themselves on site.

Bill Whitaker: Look at that.

Dr. Matt Hepburn: We can have that information in three to five minutes.

Dr. Matt Hepburn: As you truncate that time, as you diagnose and treat, what you do is you stop the infection in its tracks.

 

There's more info such as filtering the virus out of the blood in the article below.
