this is ridiculous..the virus has a 2 percent death rate. the jab has been proven to aid the spread of the virus. as that has been proven as a fact, i see no reason to join the cult of the superspreader.
there has not been a jab that actually worked effectively against a mutating virus..
and i have treatments that have been proven effective.
donot forget i have been rn er and icu and special units for many decades and i do know where to look for ingredients and effects.
bashing those of us intelligent enough to wait to see what happens to you sheeple is a most immature act based on ignorance.
meanwhile you sheeple are filling up on graphene without even realizing your longevity has been manipulated. more jabs, more graphene.

Your information and conclusions are not accurate, and I hope for your sake that you never catch COVID. Nonetheless, it's still your right to not get vaccinated. Good luck.

Florida might be a destination for retirees but median age is only #6. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o..._by_median_age
The data referenced as evidence is accumulated date since 1.5 years ago and does not reflect the number of cases in the current outbreak. Based on current daily new cases, Florida is #3 with 987 new cases/million after Mississippi (1,106) and Kentucky (1,035).

Re: For gods sake - Get vaccinated

That Worldometer site link in post #6 on the first page which has caused some disagreement here is probably not a great source of accurate information.

This is true but spreading lies and misinformation on a lifesaving vaccine is NOT a right that anyone should have.

It stands for Main Street Media. It's a label coined by Rush Limbaugh to more easily let people know what sources not to believe when they disprove his nonsense.

News stories from this morning 8/25/21:

Vrabel added that he is currently in quarantine. Like all Titans coaches who work with players, he is fully vaccinated.

Succop is fully vaccinated. When asked if there were any other close contacts that would need to be monitored, Arians replied, "No."

Maybe read the abstract or the paper rather than the Tweets? It says nothing of the sort.

What it says:

Quote:
[Abstract]Viral loads of breakthrough Delta variant infection cases were 251 times higher than those of cases infected with old strains detected between March-April 2020.

[Paper]We found viral loads of breakthrough Delta variant infection cases peaked around 2-3 days before and after the development of symptoms, and were 251 times higher than those of the infected cases detected during the early phase of the pandemic in 2020.
Doesn't say anything about viral load of vaccinated vs. unvaccinated, only that the viral load of Delta variant infections is much, much greater than earlier variant infections. Yes, the earlier infections are presumably unvaccinated people (given the dates) but they were infected with a different disease. There are numerous studies that show that Delta variant viral loads are significantly higher than previous variants in all populations.

Maybe this other piece of information in the study would also be of interest:

Quote:
69 healthcare workers were tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 [after full vaccination with the AstraZeneca vaccine, and all with Delta variant]... All recovered uneventfully
If you're going to cherry-pick snippets, why not cherry-pick that one?

Re: For gods sake - Get vaccinated

There is no god to sake, nor is this something anyone asked an opinion on a sailing forum. If people dont want to take the vaccine its for their own personal choice and their personal doctor. Forcing it on people is a horrible moral position to stand behind. Shaming is a step behind it..There are plenty of reasons to be cautios, of the virus *AND* the mrna treatments which do nothing to stop it spreading to people. The only thing we know for sure is that they help prevent death of those infected, which very much makes it a personal choice.

I guess you failed math class . Your risk from Covid-19 is magnitudes greater than your risk of a negative outcome from any of the vaccines.

But you do illustrate an unfortunate fact; most of us are poor statisticians. Our brains are not evolutionarily predisposed to the kind of broad based risk assessment required here. We're great at assessing immediate risk, but most of us struggle with statistical risk.

It's of course important to carefully consider any medical intervention, and weigh all the benefits and drawbacks on you and those depending on you. But I think you've goofed up on the math part. If you show us your numbers, maybe we can straighten you out.

Re: For gods sake - Get vaccinated

It's choice to get vaxxed or not.
If un-vaxxed, I will avoid you (my choice).
If your business hires un-vaxxed I will not buy from you (my choice).
If a business hires only the vaxxed (their choice) I will support them.

Re: For gods sake - Get vaccinated

I guess everybody does what he wants to do. Vaccine or not.

Having said that we should start looking at what do we do with people not vaccinated filling ICU and taking all the available places.

On one island in France, a doctor was explaining he had to make a choice to accept in the ICU a 55-year-old vaccinated (with no COVID symptoms - so it was for another reason) with a no-vaccinated 35-year-old woman pregnant with COVID. When ICU starts to fill that is the type of triage doctors will have to do. And that is not a fair situation for the doctors and vaccinated patients that can't access ICU.

My conclusion is that if it is a public health matter, the vaccine should be mandatory as we do with others vaccines.

Re: For gods sake - Get vaccinated

Is Invermectin approved as a COVID treatment? True antivaxxers have no clue what Invermectin is yet seem to think it's a better choice. So much for the "approval" excuse --- on to the next excuse.

Nitrogen, oxygen, water, CO2, copper, trace compounds are also all toxic.

It depends on the toxicity limits. Many overtly toxic materials are in our foods and general environment but we tolerate them and in some cases we require them.

Your argument holds no water. The metrics of who survives Covid and the variants is clear. You are magnitudes of ten more likely to to survive or be asympomatic with the vaccine. The possible medical proven side effects are so far in the background as to be laughable as well as possibly caused by other factors and pre existing conditions. The facts are that most deaths and victims on ventilators are unvaccinated people. The places that have been slow or irresponsible to vaccinate are going to get slammed as the eventuality of variants rips through their societies.
