Press release from the County of Humboldt:

Ninety-one new cases of COVID-19 were confirmed in the county today. The total number of residents who have tested positive for the virus now stands at 6,252. Two new hospitalizations were also reported, including one person in their 30s and another in their 40s.

As some schools start this week, the State of California is requiring that all students and staff wear face coverings in all indoor spaces. Masks are also required outdoors in crowded settings in Humboldt County, like school playgrounds and sports fields, as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in areas of high transmission.

For students who cannot wear a mask due to medical conditions, disabilities or mental health conditions, parents may request an exemption form through their school administration. This form requires the signature of a medical provider. The Pfizer vaccine is also available for children 12 and older.

The CDC is recommending third doses of mRNA vaccines Pfizer or Moderna for those who are moderately or severely immunocompromised. The third dose should be the same vaccine as the initial series and administered at least four weeks after completing a primary mRNA COVID-19 vaccine series. Those who want to know if a third dose is right for them should consult their primary care provider.

While the CDC is not currently recommending boosters for any other population, studies are ongoing. In addition to studies of the mRNA vaccines, makers of the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine are conducting clinical trials of second doses, with results expected later this month.

Depending on the results of these studies and the authorization of the Food and Drug Administration, the CDC may recommend boosters more broadly as early as mid-September. Nursing home residents, health care workers and emergency workers would be the first to receive boosters, followed by adults age 65 and older and then the general population.

All available vaccines are highly effective at preventing severe illness, hospitalization and death from the virus. Vaccine is available at Public Health clinics located throughout the county, and walk-ins are welcome. To make an appointment in advance, go to MyTurn.ca.gov.

Because even though there are breakthrough infections (generally from 0% to 1% of new diagnoses), vaccinated people don’t get as sick, almost never die from Covid, and are far less likely to infect others. Vaccinated people are not the breeding ground for new mutations of the virus.

Unvaccinated people are the vector spreading the virus, breeding new mutations, and now, increasingly the ones who are being hospitalized, being put on ventilators, and dying.

That’s why.

Unvaccinated people may have already had covid and thus have natural antibodies. This idea that unvaccinated means you’re the problem is unfounded and leading to further issues.

How do you know the newest mutations came from an unvaccinated person?

Beyond the complexity of maintaining that sort of database, given the known tendency of antibodies to wane over time. There’s also the issue that natural immunity involves immune factors beyond antibodies that may or may not be proffered by the injections.

Well the unvaccinated have been the source so far. But, as vaccinated grow to outnumber the unvaccinated, certainly that will change. This virus mutates. Period. And apparently vaccination reduces both the severity and length of illness. The best that can be hoped is that vaccination also reduces the length of time a person is infectious. And thus the length of time the virus can mutate freely. But no one yet knows for sure. But so far, vaccination seems to be as effective as recovering from a prior infection in preventing new illness.

I did read one really mean article where the author suggested vaccinated people just go about their business and let the burden fall on the unvaccinated who get sicker. Unfortunate though what goes around comes around. And that is not a reasonable policy. Not there may be a choice in the end if there are too many choosing to be unvaccinated. It will be what happens whether it is ethical or not.

Actually our hospital beds are overrun by 5150’s coming in from LEO’s because of the new change in regulation that they HAVE to go to ER for a mandatory 72 hour hold per Covid testing regulations in CA before they can be transferred to county jail, mental institution or released.

You have not been reading the news apparently. The viral loads in the nasal passages of the vaccinated are not less than the viral loads in the unvaccinated so the transmission probability is the same. You are correct that the vaccinated folks generally do not get as ill. That is the major benefit of vaccination. Not the spreading part.
That’s why they went back to masks for vaccinated folks. ……because they were still infecting others unknowingly.

It doesn’t do the exact same thing as the virus.
Maybe the JnJ does something very close, but the Pfizer and Moderna are entirely different approaches to vaccination.

They sneak synthetic mrna into your cells that induce the creation of free spike proteins by those cells. The hope is that your immune system learns to recognize those spike proteins as a threat and will create antibodies against them and, then, recognize that spike on the outside of the hypothetical future sars viral molecule it encounters.

While it is true that vaccinated breakthrough cases apparently can spread the virus, you seem to be ignoring the much lower rate of infection occurring in vaccinated folks compared to the unvaccinated. They also recover much more quickly than unvaccinated which decreases the length of time they are contagious.

That is a really poor turn of phrase. Viruses can not be pressured. At worse vaccination allows some variants to marginally out reproduce others.
But it a very, very slow process that needs a much higher level of vaccination than the world has to have any influence at all. The free wheeling unvaccinated can easily fill in any gaps left by the vaccinated quite easily.

Vaccination effectiveness never gets reduced to the level of unvaccinated. It’s an illogical idea that vaccine residence is like drug resistence that “sifts” out the ineffective to kill. Covid-19 vaccines are not sterilizing so they don’t readily create a more favorable environment where some thrive and others get killed off. What mutates to evade immune systems does so for the vaccinated and unvaccinated equally. Chicken studies not withstanding.

“Neutral evolution occurs when genes do not experience natural selection because they have no effect on reproductive success. Neutrality arises when mutations in an organism’s genotype cause no change in its phenotype, or when changes in the genotype bring about changes in the phenotype that do not affect reproductive success. Because neutral genes do not change in any particular direction over time and simply “drift,” thanks in part to the randomness of meiosis, they can be used as a sort of molecular clock to determine common ancestors or places in the phylogenetic tree of life.” https://oyc.yale.edu/ecology-and-evolutionary-biology/eeb-122/lecture-4#:~:text=Neutral%20evolution%20occurs%20when%20genes%20do%20not%20experience,the%20phenotype%20that%20do%20not%20affect%20reproductive%20success.

Ullr, if a random variation incidently accompanies another characteristic, it certainly can spread without itself being influential. Some viruses are notoriously spontaneously variable in their reproduction. And the thing that controls the variation is the number of viruses. If vaccination reduces the number by either shortening the period of infectivity or the number of infected, then there will simply be less variantion.

What i think you are saying is that the marek virus chicken vaccination shows that the vaccinated can tolerate a more virulent strain of virus that so that, instead of killing off the infected and thus ending its existence, can keep circulating to kill the unvaccinated more readily. That is possible but it’s a pretty far leap from the statement that vaccination causes it. The idea that, if an especially virulent variant springs into existence, which it can more likely in unvaccinated than vaccinated, it should be allowed to kill off it’s victims so that it’s spread is reduced doesn’t work anyway beside being unethical. There are too many examples of highly fatal diseases keeping going for multiple generations for the idea of let-em-die-and-it-will-go-away to be a viable idea. And that is without vaccinations influencing the viruses at all.

That people more afraid of vaccination than disease use this idea as a reason to just let disease spread without interference is pretty transparently disingenuous. Like the idea worked for the black death, which came in waves for centuries, influenza, which is more deadly in some years than others, or even Ebola, which is always circulating in wildlife who can survive it better than humans. Letting people die doesn’t work to, well, keep people from dying.

Folks they DO NOT have this “virus” isolated, therefor it is not even proven to exist!! COULD THAT BE WHY THERE IS NO VIRUS IN THE SHOT?!?! Is that why they pouring millions into PROPAGANDA campaigns to trick you??

You are way off on the less than 1% of new cases are breakthrough cases. No place is anywhere near that low and several places have over 50% of new cases coming from fully vaccinated people. Now, that doesn’t mean the vaccine is not effective. If 90% of your population is vaccinated and only 50% of new cases are in vaccinated individuals, then the vaccine is still showing helpful resistance. It is also the elderly and most vulnerable who got vaccinated in higher numbers, so that also leads to more breakthrough cases.

In addition, while a comment above claims that the vaccinated are carrying the same viral load as the unvaccinated, that is true, BUT only true for those who actually catch Covid. You are still less likely to catch Covid (even Delta) if you are vaccinated and even less likely to be hospitalized or die.

The vaccine does seem to be becoming less effective against new variants, but that is to be expected. Fortunately, new variants also usually trend toward more contagious but less lethal.

Do we know the median age for the rest of the Covid deaths in Oregon? It would help to have something to compare the 83 with. I’ll bet the second number is pretty high too.

I would consider a case fatality rate of about 1% as a pretty low chance. Look at it as a 99% survival rate. That has been the situation, at least in Humboldt County, as tallied at the end of every month of this since it began… not just since vaccinations became available.

Okay, I’ll try a 3rd time without the links that perhaps Akismet didn’t like…

Kym, our posts pretty much say the same thing.
The Bloomberg article is irrelevant to our current situation. It uses stats from Jan 1st to July 1st. Very few people were vaccinated at that time and the Delta variant wasn’t ripping through the US yet.

Onlooker claimed that less than 1% of NEW cases are breakthrough cases and as we both pointed out that is patently false. I posted links in my first replies to several places where they are now having 50% breakthrough cases, like Israel.

As I said in my initial post, this doesn’t mean the vaccines are not still effective, they are.
Whether the risk from the unknown consequences of taking the vaccine outweighs the risk of getting Covid is something everyone must decide for themselves. You and I chose the vaccine. Hopefully we chose wisely.

24% for 51+ percent of the population vs 76% for 48-49% of the population. That puts the odds of getting infected for the vaccinated at less than 1/3 of that for the unvaccinated. And that’s not even considering that people with identified risk factors (age, pre-existing health conditions, immunocompromised) are disproportionately among the vaccinated.

Breakthrough cases are so low because the majority of the vaccinated are hunkered down in a rabbit hole. Of course they will have low case numbers, the reality is so simple.

Moderna maybe, is 76%

Not Pfizer. It’s 42%
That’s it.

J&J will not disclose.

Must it’s be worse than 42%?

That’s from 8/16/2021

WSJ.

“Follow Your Nose to Herd Immunity”

And the bigger picture, Juke Flywalker is this, the reality…
At 50% of population with vaccine acceptance, regardless of cause, the bottom line is that the infections from Covid19 will be only reduced by half of what the true efficacy of the Covid19 vaccines are, in combination.

Combine 76% and 42% for Moderna and Pfizer efficacy and you get 58% before you even factor in J&J’s dismal efficacy, or the fact that there may have been considerable more Pfizer doses administered., Then cut that 58% in half, because only half are vaccinated, and don’t bother spreading any grief about it, because that’s the reality of the situation, and it doesn’t matter why at this point.

Do now you have a Vaccine Strategy that resulted in an overall efficacy of 29% or less.

That’s the bottom line.

Subtract from that The J&J factor,and I imagine your looking at 27%, overall for all Americans.

If lots more people got the Pfizer, it’s gonna drop from there.

These numbers are for Delta,
But that’s what we are facing.

That should explain the high case counts.

I would be interested in seeing the case to hospitalization percentage rate now compared to the past.

Are there more, or are there less, hospitalizations per case percentage rate wise.

That would be good information.

That will tell us if the variants are getting more serious or not.

Cases are at 36 today, I wish they would provide test numbers or positivity rates. Just giving us how many case numbers with nothing else is only partial information.

I know I could look it up on the dashboard archives. And then I could post it in the comments, and I did that for about a week. So could everyone. It takes once for the county to do it and put the info in the press release.
Simple. They don’t. Why?

It would be so easy and so useful and informative.

Please?

“Humboldt County Lab Manager Jeremy Corrigan displays the reagents needed to amplify COVID-19 RNA in a test sample last year. [Photo from HCJIC]”

Has anyone asked what the amplification rates are? If you wind them up a notch or two you get “False Positives”. If you wind them down you get false negatives. I’m not saying people aren’t getting sick BUT the PCR test is flawed. The cycles are crucial and even then I’m not convinced the test can differentiate between the whole host of other coronaviruses out there. And suppose you got a flu shot a while ago? Will the PCR test show you have antibodies from the shot? I humbly submit that all the tests are irrelevant without listing the LAB and the CYCLES. Accountability is key.

And then there is the whole “variant” question. Just HOW can they test? In my PEA BRAIN the test is flawed there also. Suppose you get a drunk driving with a breathalyzer OR a blood test. Can they tell whether you were drinking a Vodka Tonic or a Manhattan? Perhaps a Bud Light or a Downtown Brown? HELL NO! And thus the variant BS is just that.

Same applies for you. It was the talking point when the vaccine came out, just like masks to prevent the virus from spreading, to prevent contracting the virus etc. Though I agree the mask may help slow and filter the spread of a virus, and getting “vaxxed” may limit the effects of the virus, neither the vaccine nor the mask will prevent it from spreading or from mutating. Nor does it provide immunity for vaccinated people. The vaccinated are carriers as much as the non vaccinated. Also didn’t the cdc quit counting the hospitalized vaccinated numbers?🤔

Just to address one of your questions: “And suppose you got a flu shot a while ago? Will the PCR test show you have antibodies from the shot?”

First, the PCR test isn’t looking at antibodies, that’s a different test and those are specific to the kinds of antigens produced by the COVID coronavirus. Antigen tests can still tell the difference between influenza antigens and COVID antigens but while the tests are much quicker to process, they are generally less accurate than PCR tests.

Second, the influenza viruses that cause the flu are different from the coronavirus that causes COVID so PCR tests can tell them apart. The current PCR test only looks for genetic material from SARS-COV-2 (COVID-19). There is a new multi-plex RT-PCR test that can tell the difference between Influenza A and B and the SARS-COV-2 virus.

Most of my family caught the bug prevaccine. All of my immediate family caught it prevaccine. Aside from immediate and extended family, I didn’t have any friends who had contracted it.

Post-vaccine I now know of multiple friends who have contracted the virus. A couple of my cousins who didn’t contract the virus, and are now fully vaccinated, have it currently. I know about 10 people who have had it now and they are fully vaccinated. I had a friend whose entire, fully vaccinated family caught it at their fully vaxxed post Covid family reunion. A few of them also flew around the country, while sick mind you, because they figured since they were vaxxed whatever bug they had wasn’t Covid. One of them had a 104 degree fever.

It’s anecdotal but I put far more store in information that I gain from personal experience or first hand than information I hear regurgitated through some media outlet. Things that I hear just aren’t as reliable to me as things that I can hold in my hand so to speak, no matter who it is I hear it from. I believe the vaccines are no where near as effective as the “experts” say they are.

Besides, I already had a funny feeling about the vaccines when the experts were saying that once vaxxed you had a 99.99% chance of survival if you were young, healthy, and contracted Covid. I paused and thought, hmmm, isn’t that my chance of survival anyway? Without the vaccine?

Anybody know anyone with lab equipment? I would love to get my hands on one of those syringes and get the contents tested first hand, that would answer a lot of questions.

You apparently aren’t keeping up with the news. All military personnel are required to be vaccinated by Sept. 15th.

https://www.military.com/daily-news/2021/08/09/pentagon-requiring-covid-19-vaccine-us-troops.html

A quote from the article: In a briefing with reporters Monday, Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said there’s no evidence that vaccine refusal is a widespread problem in the military.

“Members of the military understand when you sign up for the military, that there are requirements laid upon you,” he said. “Some of those requirements include being healthy and fit and ready to serve. Some of that depends on our requirement to make sure you’re fit and healthy, through inoculation and vaccination.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Members of the U.S. military will be required to get the COVID-19 vaccine beginning next month under a plan laid out by the Pentagon Monday and endorsed by President Joe Biden. In memos distributed to all troops, top Pentagon leaders said the vaccine is a necessary step to maintain military readiness.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said the mid-September deadline could be accelerated if the vaccine receives final FDA approval or infection rates continue to rise.
“I will seek the president’s approval to make the vaccines mandatory no later than mid-September, or immediately upon” licensure by the Food and Drug Administration “whichever comes first,” Austin said in his memo, warning them to prepare for the requirement.

From a study conducted in Denmark before the Delta variant was widespread:

“For those 65 and under, getting the coronavirus once provided roughly 80% protection against reinfection. But for people 65 and older, it provided only about 47% protection against getting COVID-19 again, further highlighting how dangerous this disease can be for older adults.”

That’s a bit lower than vaccine effectiveness against the previous variants. I didn’t see any recent reports on the Delta variant re-infections, probably because the surge in the US is still fairly new.

If you follow this philosophy of “survival of the fittest” with the COVID virus simply being a selection pressure on human population, why not extend that to all infectious diseases? Why do anything to ameliorate the spread of tuberculosis, malaria, polio, etc.?

After all, if it applies to one virus or infectious agent it should apply to all. Then the human genome can evolve to be resistant to all of these agents until another evolves.

Or perhaps we could use one of the features we evolved to slow or stop the spread of these diseases — the enlarged cranial capacity. And then use science to develop methods to give us an evolutionary advantage against the viral and bacterial agents. That’s what the vaccine is — us using our evolutionary advantage to make us “fitter” for the environment we find ourselves in.

What would be an interesting side discussion that would take far too many beers is whether the current polarization of information on COVID is social Darwinism in play. It’s too early for that many beers, at least for me.

Thats an interesting topic of discussion. I wonder what the health outcomes for religious sects that forego modern health care look like compared to the general population?

One doesn’t have to go to that extreme to decide not to accept these particular pharmaceutical interventions. Our health, and the choices we make about it, are embedded in a complex web of risk analysis and personal philosophy.

I, for one, am glad to see that the government is making novel treatments available for people without having to wait for the FDA. I think we should move to that model generally and fda approval could just come with a seal that would be meaningful to many.

I’m happy for you all that had access to these treatments that make you feel better protected. My only request is that you not assert a right to dictate my medical choices just to satisfy your own concerns.

As AO pointed out, there have been several studies on closed groups that shun most modern medicine show excess deaths compared to open groups that accept it. I found one on the Amish/Mennonite communities in Ohio that were looked at and found to have 125% excess deaths in November 2020 (the study data only ran through Dec. 2020) compared to the expected number of deaths from 2015-2019.

What a stupid comment. Many a soul has not wanted to battle the lion against their will. Many have survived and some have died. Some wanted to avoid the lions because they knew they didn’t have the weapons to fight them, but were thrown to them unsuspectingly by their fellow citizens or even loved ones anyway. They were torn to shreads. Others volunteered to jump in with the lions, but actually had no weapons at all. They were all so sure they could kill the lions with their bare hands, only some still found themselves succumb to the lions jaws. Many, many, others were wounded or escaped unscathed to fight another day. As long as we keep throwing people to the lions, the cycle will repeat, a percentage will be eaten or maimed . Obviously, you haven’t had your family members picked to make the ultimate sacrifice yet.
I’ve buried two. That’s my personal responsibility, to do my part to prevent more in my community from knowing that pain. You seem to be confusing your personal responsibility with your personal opinion. Spreading a potentially fatal virus far and wide is the furthest thing from responsible. You island against the world tough guys should spend some time in a covid ward and get back in touch with reality. Watch someone choke on their own insides. Hold their hands, look them in their eyes human to human as they struggle to take their last breaths. Make them comfortable because the medicine isnt working and thats all you can do. Then, console their family about their last moments on earth because they couldn’t be there. Tell them it was peaceful so they can sleep at night. That’s responsibility.

We make lots of choices everyday to curtail someone else’s behavior for our own safety. We call some things crimes to stop some of them. We make in and out doors at supermarkets because we like automated opening. We drag kids to school. We created property ownership. Politics, art, food, water when endless limits on free choice because there are always those who have no regard for others.

Vaccination is a measure. Wearing face masks is another. Closing mass gatherings another. That you object to it does not change that. Why do you insist it’s the total obligation of others to avoid the sick, which is impossible for almost everyone, so that you so not have to do anything you find objectionable? Do you not think there may be some shared responsibility in communities?

Much of what you call choices we make actually are not our choices. They are choices imposed on us whether we want them or not. How many of you chose the gas taxes we’re paying, the cannabis laws as they exist? Etc. It’s more like you give an agency an inch, and they take a mile while padding their pockets and corrupting their positions .

If you are healthy you dont need a vaccine. As we all know its mostly people with compromised heath. I hate saying obese people but unfortunately our human nature is to store energy. Coupled with readily available processed food we have a health epidemic more than a pandemic.

You have a very hi chance of not getting covid if you have a low stress healthy lifestyle.

The vaxers seem really stressed out.

Its not healthy people’s responsibility to get a vaccine for people who made poor decisions. Older people will need to take greater precautions especially if they are obese.

Its unfortunate that’s this virus is killing people stay safe and be healthy. It will be over eventually and I look forward to that day.

I will never listen to anyone demanding us getting vaccinated vmg ao, bushy trb.

The same is true in Virginia, where 99 percent of covid-19 infections, 97 percent of hospitalizations and 98 percent of deaths are occurring among the unvaccinated, according to state data.” https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/most-severe-covid-cases-deaths-in-dmv-region-are-among-the-unvaccinated/ar-AANdk7v?ocid=BingNewsSearch

You are totally correct,
Juke Flywalker’s statement is totally false.

Only by allowing oneself to be vaccinated has one created the need for a their booster.

The unvaccinated will not be requiring a booster quite yet.

That won’t be true for at least another 9 months or so, even if the unvaccinated, start vaccinating, today.

And, no, it isn’t true that somehow the unvaccinated are responsible for the need for a booster among the vaccinated.

Blame is totally non-therapeutic, yet it is still, quite literally and figuratively, “applied liberally”.

Blame does more harm than good, LJ.

Just as addition to this for people to think about, If you go to the hospital for any reason and then test positive, as they have to test you to be admitted, you become a “hospitalized covid patient.” Don’t know how much that inflates numbers, but it is the truth .

You are drunk on being lied to. I’d post the picture but that would be rude to them, maybe they will tomorrow when they come home . I know you believe everything you read in press releases,.

There is a difference between being being infected with covid and thus unable to have visitors, and being counted in the statistics for people hospitalized due to covid. They’re initially counted, then removed once the case is researched, as you can see with updates like https://kymkemp.com/2021/06/17/13-new-cases-reported-today/ – “One hospitalization that was previously reported has been removed. Though the person tested positive for COVID-19, the reason they were hospitalized was unrelated to the virus. “

“The total number of residents who have tested positive for the virus now stands at 6,252.”

The County population is 134,000.

Why, when only 4.62% of the county has contracted Covid??? In other words, 95.38% haven’t caught the drama-flu.

Unflappable Jack,

In other words, those are the ones that tested positive, not the only ones that have been infected.

Big difference.

Plus, I am not following the reasoning, wouldn’t it be less dramatic, more like “just the sniffles”,
if 95.38% of the population of Humboldt got infected, with the same numbers of hospitalizations and death as we’ve had?
It seems like that would mean it was less serious. Seriously.
That only 4.6% have supposedly been infected, and let’s say, 59 or 60 have died, means 1,279 to1,301 total would be dead by the time, supposedly, everyone gets infected.

If 95.38% had supposedly already been infected, the opposite of what you deem insignificant, it wouldn’t be more serious, it would be less serious, as only less than 63 total deaths would be the potential outcome after everyone is infected.

And we would very nearly be there. A good thing.
I hope many, many, more, have been infected and recovered without even knowing it, than the positive tests indicate.
That would be much less serious.

Spin meets backspin.

Covid19 is no joke.
And,
The vaccines may have their advantages, but,
the vaccines also have their disadvantages.

By my calculations, one person is being sacrificed by vaccination, for every 50 or less people, the vaccines are intended to save.

The realistic sacrificed to saved ratio might be much, much, worse.

The booster can potentially increase vaccine casualties over 50%, for the people already vaccinated.

As far as what the vaccine can do to help,
Don’t believe everything you hear.

Listen very carefully to Fauci, when he speaks of herd immunity from the vaccine, it’s never a literal stand alone statement. There is always an ‘if’, an ‘and’, or a “but”, or some other kind of caveat, or disclaimer or some inachievable percentage of vaccination, goal, that he knows is not going to happen.

Or he adds , “plus recovered infections”, which means the vaccines could never achieve this on their own.

Or he’s talking about “other vaccines”.

Fauci speaks with a forked tongue.

He is as trustworthy as a serpent, as a snake.

But if you actually go and look at Pfizer, Moderna sites, you will see that gene therapy is very much on their agenda.
Has it occurred to you that you could be the Guinea pig that leads to “them” living forever? You know, like not dying?
Just wondering.
Perhaps some folks like the Amish prefer to go with the seasons of life and maybe they just aren’t afraid of dying..they might even believe death is actually a rebirth into something better and nothing to fear at all.
Just for the record, no I’m not religious, but yes I believe in God.
Religion is man made, but God made the things scientists try to figure out, math, ether, gravity, magnetism, biology etc.

Like nuclear power, what looks like a blessing can quickly turn into a living hell, think Fukushima. Then think of playing with your RNA, Fukushima looked great for a long while, until it didn’t.

Joe, this is for you, the longer the virus circulates in the population, the higher the likelihood it has of mutating into a new and potentially stronger variant. If everyone was vaccinated early (I know, to late), the chances are the virus would have died out in the wild, before it could mutate.

Let’s take a step back further.

If everyone had been RESPONSIBLE adults and actually locked down for 3-6 weeks at the beginning of all this, there would have been little to no need for a vaccine.

Kind of like all the vaccinated people who wanted nothing more than to go out and party and be social again who have helped continue to spread this virus.

This virus breeds on greed and selfishness. What better a host than we?

New Zealand is going into lockdown, because they discovered one guy with Covid. First one in 6 months, and only 20% of NZ has had the vax. Apparently people there are willing to do the smart thing without a bunch of crybaby “patriots” screaming about “freedom”.
It also shows that protective measures, if implemented by all, work better than the vaccine.

Hello, the covid weapon is engineered to evolve into different strains to continue. Picture it with a brain that will live at all costs. Don’t underestimate it. The folks who have the best chance are ones with natural immunity, since more variants are on the way. Make no mistake,, they will come. Immune compromised are another story as well. One good place to look is the written papers the top dog from Moderna has published. Not hard to find for there are many there at the site. As a 2 time covid-19 patient, I have yet to be hospilized. I do my own research, talk to my physician, and make my decisions from there. Others should do what is best for themselves. Be vigilant against this weapon of war, be safe, and God bless.

Except when the numbers of positive tests go up, the number of hospitalizations and later deaths go up. No one’s lying except anti vaxxers and they likely can see the difference. In various places at various times, there have been patients left in hallways because hospitals run out of rooms. The numbers are out there for all to see. The difference in reactions to the possibility is where the real divide happens.

The trouble with simply saying it’s not that bad here is that, if it does get that bad here, it’s too late to do anything about it. And it is possible to keep it from getting so bad by a few restrictions. So, if it’s your job to keep it from getting that bad, those restrictions seem the way to go. To prevent it while it is still preventable.

But the restrictions themselves cause problems. Such disruptions are damaging to the economy, the government, the psyche, to organization, to personal well being, to everything. It’s a big stress. There are those who refuse any limits, no matter how small, not matter how useful. There are those who become very fearful. And there are those who frankly become very used to not working and will never really be successfully employed again.

The balance is not easy to keep or even find.

It’s use seems pretty limited to a few people likely to have very bad outcomes and was just recently approved. And it needs to be used within a very short time fame as a preventative, not a treatment. “Studies have not found antibody drugs to be effective in hospitalized patients with more severe illness, and they may even worsen outcomes, according to the FDA.” https://www.dallasnews.com/news/2021/08/17/6-things-to-know-about-the-regeneron-covid-19-treatment-gov-greg-abbott-is-using/

I just read a piece on a generic drug that does seem to be effective at reducing COVID-induced inflammation and keeping folks out of the hospital— fluvoxamine. They have actually done randomized trials with it and it has shown pretty good effectiveness. Plus it’s cheap and safe, at least as long as the patient isn’t taking anti-depressants.

It however doesn’t replace vaccines because it doesn’t have any effect on the virus or viral load.

Because to take that medicine, which has its own warning page of possible side effects and is injected just as much as a vaccine with documented reactions in 4% of recipients, adverse reactions in 20% and is equally EUA only, then it reduced the progression of to symptomatic covid by 31% whereas the vaccine reduces it in excess of 80% . And their study was done prior to the rise of the Delta variant. You have risk getting sick first with all the unknown outcome that entails for it to be used. And it can, if not taken correctly, make a person sicker.

As long as you don’t try to persuade others that they are protected by totally unproven drugs, go ahead. Mostly they have been studied and found to be of questionable effectiveness. Take them all you want. Luckily most people will not be killed by them. They won’t be protected but they won’t likely be killed either.

The medical services and drug companies have been the largest donors to the democratic party. I know no one who has died from this BS. Flu. But a great deal of them from ODs/ suicide.

Don’t fall for this great lie you have been sold. This will all go away after the midterm elections 2.0 , you will see.

Take your ACE2 you dumb sheep!

Actually, Fauci said long ago we’d be hitting herd immunity right about now.

Do you think we should still be believing what he says?

“Masssk off”, “Masssk on”, “Half Masssk off”, “Half Masssk Back on”…

“No one should be forced to take the vaccine!”…

“We need more mandates!”

“There have been Zero breakthrough deaths!”

“Vaccinated people are dying.”

“The vaccination prevents spread!”

“The vaccine doesn’t prevent spread.”

He did not know anything about Delta Variant?

Did he never hear of Delta when it was in India?

And so he said back in December, herd immunity this fall, UNLESS their was a variant. Covered his ass.

There’s that trusty caveat.

I believe he may have said that 12/10/2020.

How can you be so sure he didn’t know of the potential for variants when he predicted we would achieve herd immunity by this fall, and that was not just an, “if” “and” or “but”.

He’s the top virologist, and he didn’t know?

Is he competent ,or not?

Or did he know it was unlikely or impossible to happen, and promised it anyway? Like he said how many would be necessary to vaccinate then kept raising the percentage because he thought more people would buy in to his pitch.

Or was that just setting us up for more excuses why it never happened.

Why aren’t you just saying,
“We didn’t make it to 90%
Like Fauci didn’t know that was never going to happen.
The flu vaccine has never been administered to more than 50%.
That was his plan B excuse.
The reason he kept upping the necessary percentage was because he was scared we might have achieved it and since he knew it wasn’t going to work made it an inachievable number.

Remember Kym, just like I can’t see what you are seeing in your office, we can’t see what is going on in his.

The vaccine was never designed to prevent infection. He should have never made any promises based on the assumption it would, even if it appeared to do that in the short term studies. Or because he thought he could get away with it.

Is Delta so much more serious really?

Yes the incubation period is less, yes the viral load is greater overall.

Is the hospitalization rate per case higher?

And if you listen to Fauci ever talk about herd immunity, either he is associating it with a different virus and vaccine, or he invariably adds the phrase, “or by infection”, to “vaccination” when speaking of how herd immunity will be achieved.

Kym, and I stress this,

Anthony Fauci, and Jonas Salk, are very different.

SarsCov2, and Polio are very different.

The Covid19 vaccines and the
Polio Vaccine are very different.

I’m sorry you believed in Fauci like he was like Salk.

He is not.

I am sorry you believed the Covid19 Vaccine was like or would be effective as the Polio Vaccine.

It is not.

I am sorry you believed that the Fauci, 99+% efficacy against serious illness and death, was the same thing as the Salk, 99+% efficiency against polio infection.

It is not.

I am sorry you thought the Fauci, Covid19 Vaccine, could provide herd immunity, or prevent infection and transmission.

The Salk Polio Vaccine is as real of a vaccine as you can get.

The Covid19 Vaccine is not.

I’m sorry you trust what Fauci says.

I do not.

Yes, but Biden won and now Hillary is getting revenge for losing. She wanted to run health care ever since Bill let her in the WH, the people objected, They didn’t want a 2 for one presidency, hence we now are living the Clinton Global Initiative.
Watch out for the Happy Camps.
Notice we are hearing more of Albright these days also, she’s the one who said there’s a place in hell for you if you don’t vote for Hillary.
I’ve never seen such a vindictive woman, willing to tour the world just to burn her country because she didn’t win. She is also the root of the Russia crap that lost this country 4 years of good will turning brothers and sisters against each other. And the Bush family is just as bad.
God save Puerto Rico and Haiti, where these families are entrenched.
I sure hope Maxwell decides to save her own skin and turns evidence that blows up the whole mess.
Do recall that Trump was a Democrat before he ran for office, search google images, and you’ll see Hillary hugging him when she wanted him to contribute to her campaign against Obama.
She hates him because he knows her secrets and he won. He doesn’t drink, but she sure does.

In my opinion, we are all affected by this new virus in one way or another. To me it feels like an evolving situation, stay smart, informed and respectful of each other’s space and health. There has been some contradicting info from the beginning and personally, to me, it seems a little confusing at times.

Until we get through this I will continue to wear a mask when out, whether I am vaccinated or not. I know it’s inconvenient but if it just helps a little, I’ll do my part.

The covid topic is very speculative. Test are innacurate( Elon musk) so we basically are mostly in the dark with testing cycles.

This is a new virus and human biology is very complex. Lots of factors to take into consideration.

Like mental health in society and how our brains are being transformed by lack of personal contact substituted by screens.

Balancing the pros and cons of isolation, economic hardship, and government assistance then add in the health epidemic vs pandemic.

You see this is called seeing the bigger picture. Yes we need to take some measures to protect immune compromised people( people who don’t regularly exercise and hi intensity exercise=equal strong lungs)

We have all made sacrifices in more than what’s obvious. We need to learn to compromise and it’s not going to be getting jabbed. If we haven’t learned to be healthier and take preventative measures depending on our situations then we will never learn so learn to actually care about eachother instead of pointing fingers. Look in the mirror.

Except announcing that doesn’t make it true. In your vision only the fat die. In your vision PCR tests are all wrong. In your vision you are safe. It is not balance to interpret everything as a lie if it is disagreeable and the truth if it is agreeable. The information is out there. No one is hiding it. Most of what you say has some measure of truth. It’s just not all the truth. And it’s not the most significant truth for most people.

Auntie I agree with you it’s not just fat people it could be anyone. I don’t dislike fat people. Like I’ve said we are all one injury away from a rapid decline in health. We live in a stressful world and witness it every day the tole it takes on us. I wish we all could be healthier and nicer to each other. I actually genuinely care.

I try to put myself in others shoes. This is a tough situation. It’s almost impossible to trust pharmaceutical companies as you know and rightfully so.

The vaccine to me does not seem to be as effective. If I were to decide to get it I can’t trust that it’s being effective by lessening transmission. I dont want boosters every 8 months. In the end people will still suffer either way. But less is the argument. I just don’t see how me being vaxed will lessen other suffering if they get a Vax? The toll this has on society bothers me more because our group cohesiveness is compromised. We need to gell.

This is a country of many religious beliefs, Jewish and Islamic both have rules even relating to what foods they eat and how they must be prepared, The Amish have their beliefs, Jehovah Witnesseses, and many more.

So, just throw all these people under the bus for mandates? There goes the right to religious freedom.
Well, what happens when it’s a freedom YOU DO care about?
Maybe like your smart refrigerator door won’t open until your governor decides it dinner time or Fauci checks your calorie count
just pass your cell phone past the scan bar please.. Carlin was right , It’s a small club and you’re not in it. Even if you think you are at this point in time.

HC, Check out *Liberty and Health Alliance. *

They had informative live stream tonight kind of a repeat of a similar live event they had about a week ago. With lawyer Jonathan zirkle. And Sunday they had great steam on early treatment etc. Great info to be armed with whatever your position

Thanks Got logic,

It was years ago, but I watched their whole series called Gods Generals.
It was a bio and history of all their early preachers.
I enjoyed the stories Wigglesworth told… lol

I’ve looked closely at many religions. Even after all that looking, I believe religion is what man made, adding their own traditions to what God made.

I agree We are fearfully and wonderfully made, and our bodies are temples that belong to GOD, not the government.
