23 New Cases Reported Today; Officials Urge Vaccination as Delta Cases Rise

novel coronavirus Covid-19 HumboldtPress release from the County of Humboldt:

Twenty-three new cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed in Humboldt County today, bringing the total number of county residents who have tested positive for the virus to 4,798. Three new hospitalizations were also reported, including one person in their 40s, one in their 50s and one in their 60s.

The Humboldt County Public Health lab has identified more than a dozen cases of the Delta variant since it was first found in the county in early May. Genomic sequencing identified only a single case of the variant in May, but by June the Delta variant was identified in 25% of sequenced samples.

According to data provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Delta variant is estimated to be 64% more transmissible than the Alpha variant which in turn is 50% more transmissible than the original virus.

What the CDC refers to as breakthrough cases are to be expected with any vaccine, and Humboldt County has seen infections in fully vaccinated people as the rest of California has with the rise of the Delta variant. However, with very few exceptions, these cases are mild in otherwise healthy people.

Vaccination protects against serious illness, hospitalization and death from COVID-19. The CDC reports that only 3% of U.S. COVID-related hospitalizations and fewer than 1% of deaths have occurred in fully vaccinated people. In Humboldt County, those numbers are lower, with only two of the 222 hospitalizations and none of the 53 COVID-related deaths in Humboldt County occurring in fully vaccinated residents.

Public health officials advise unvaccinated and partially vaccinated community members to get fully vaccinated as soon as possible, as partial vaccination may leave a person vulnerable to variants like Delta. Full vaccination means both doses in a two-dose series of Pfizer or Moderna vaccine or one dose of the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Full protection is achieved two weeks after completing the vaccination series. Officials urge those who are hesitant or have questions to discuss their concerns with their primary care provider or speak to a Public Health nurse by calling the Joint Information Center at 707-441-5000.

Unvaccinated residents over the age of two are required to wear facial coverings in indoor public spaces. Some California counties have begun issuing advisories recommending indoor masking in public spaces regardless of vaccination status, and Los Angeles County has reinstated its indoor masking requirement.

Vaccine is available at Public Health clinics and at most local pharmacies. Walk-ins are welcome at all Public Health clinics, or sign up in advance at MyTurn.ca.gov. See the clinic schedule for the next seven days below.

What’s crazy is to believe that in this day and age, we still lie to our children in the name of behavior control, and those parents who work for government just never stop lying to their fellow peers and those they represent.

If you understood the nature of the collision between the public and the private sectors, you may have a different perspective.

It’s hard to recognize the whole scene, from a compartmentalized reality.

Explain to me again how stalin, Hitler and Mao came to be responsible for so much death aND destruction.

Some one needs to call Citizen Protective Services on the shot callers.

You want to be a part of a Marxist revolution in THIS COUNTRY?

Prepare for your world to be turned upside down.

Ameican Frontline Doctors are the group that appeared on the video which included Dr. Stella Immanuel of “Medical problems like cysts are caused by sex with “spirit husbands” and “spirit wives,” DNA from aliens is being used in medicine and scientists are developing vaccines to prevent people from being religious” fame. They are an anti vaxxer, anti lockdown, anti mask group founded by Dr. Simone Gold who is a doctor and a lawyer. Who also human/alien DNA but is primarily known for advocating hydroxychloroquine and zinc as a covid cure. That group sued the HHS to prevent vaccinating children in the US District Court in Alabama in May.

You don’t seem to realize that she is from Africa. They have different religious beliefs. Consequently you are culturally insensitive. Let’s all be inclusive right? Ohhhhmmmmm . . . 😉

There are lots of studies that correlate HCQ, zinc and Ivermectin as being very effective against contracting CV19 and mitigating serious consequences IF you care to look. But you better not use GOOGLE. LOL.

And this is the first sentence:

Yay.

More lies.

If we were “all in this together “fat acceptance movement would not exist.

Lifestyle choice diseases drive this pandemic! You’re asleep if you can’t comprehend that fact.

And XXL humans, who can’t shake off the Covid when it hunts them down, they are taking beds away from someone else. They take medical services and resources from someone’s kid, or grandma , or that famous cancer patient we are all beholden to. Taking resources away from someone with a co morbidity they CAN’T control.

The xxl are the selfish ones.

And XXL’s drive up medical costs for everyone!

And they are demolishing the planet by the simple scientific fact: It takes more calories for full that size of creature up.

Trust the science!

If we are “all in this together”we would begin to culturally hold one another accountable. Where, like Japan we as a society begin to collectively eat less, and move more. (gasp!)

So much for, “we’re all in this together” is right.

We aren’t.

Pass the bacon.

Whoever bunkered down all last year to dodge the flu , will now get the flu. If you never masked or sheltered last year , then covid advisories don’t pertain to you, since it’s soooo contagious, unmasked unsheltered people should of had it by now.

So much dishonest orwellian mew speak. If you want to know why many remain skeptical of these novel injections look no further than these shady ass press releases.

“However, with very few exceptions, these cases are mild in otherwise healthy people.”

How many is “very few”? What is an “otherwise healthy person”? What was that person’s risk level if infected without the injections? What level of risk did accepting the injection subject these healthy people to?

“The CDC reports that only 3% of U.S. COVID-related hospitalizations and fewer than 1% of deaths have occurred in fully vaccinated people.”

It’s obvious from the public health quotes further on that these numbers are comparing illness/ death of vaccinated people vs all illness/ death includingfrom before vaccination was an option.

So what do those numbers look like since the date the first Jan 6 was stuckinto the first arm? They’re clearly much higher, at least double. Why are our public health officers obfuscating this release healthdata?

You don’t have to lie to people to get them to make a good decision

Just like a hamster on a wheel ( The Big Pharma Wheel )

“One-shot Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine is less effective against the Delta variant”

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-9807911/One-shot-Johnson-Johnson-COVID-19-vaccine-lesseffective-against-Delta-variant.html

There will ALWAYS be one more variant and one more JAB until we say NO.

But J&J refuses to disclose just exactly how much less effective against Delta.

It’s probably less than 50% effective against Delta.

Of those deaths that “could” be attributed does not mean were attributed.

From further down in the article- “Any risk is frightening, especially for a parent. But the rare side effects identified with COVID vaccines have to be weighed against the known, higher risks from contracting COVID, Goepfert says. “

I’m so sad that anyone might chose to be an apologist for this disgraceful statistic.

And I see murky language for describing vaccine events is scrutinized and doubted but the murky double speak defending the mandates and efficacy of vax is gospel. Okay!!

In my humble opinion
the risk to most of us- at well under 1%- is not outweighed by this experimental ‘intentional’ risk.

Maybe the confined, or the elderly , or any of the “kooks” all gung ho about vaccines can have at it.

Informed consent.

That means you get to look at the available data and choose for yourself.

No one gets to choose for you a medical treatment. Especially this ridiculousness!

Interestingly, the quote used to defend its use is directed at parents. And the risk to children is near zero.: Approx 2/200000 often less…. and that’s just hospitalizations !! not death .

….and 98% of those youngsters are already sick with diabetes, obesity , lung diseases and a couple other kid conditions .

.This info was already posted. Some of us paid attention to that.

I maintain that anyone that gives this sh** to their dependent child actually needs some logic lessons.
