    Maybe you and the gang should try being kind. Look in the mirror. I don't start it, but I won't back down either. Some people like to dish it out but don't can't take it when it's sent their way.

    Yeah, heck with the science, lets just keep vaxxing people. Lets do 2 extra shots while we're at it. Sounds brilliant.

    There you go. Now we have something of substance. Thank you for sharing. Personally, I've tried not to direct vitriol to individuals, but there are plenty of statements there which I agree with. And now perhaps you might retract your statement about not maintaining a list. ;)

    Yes - there was an abundance of information available. Hang in there with the Pfizer. The science keeps adjusting with the outcomes, but I'm pretty confident in its efficacy.

    It's not only about you. Fighting the pandemic should have been a community-based united effort. This is the biggest place the U.S. failed and it's not merely about arguing or making accusations; it's about the actions people could have taken to help minimize the ridiculous strain on hospitals, exorbitant hospital bills (how many Americans will break the bank due to covid?), and hundreds of thousands of lives lost.

    What does the science say with regards to getting vaccinated for covid?

    I understand. My point is everyone here came to the vaccination decision at different times. Yes, Mine came later than many and some came very quickly.
    I just find it very hard, even now, to take shots at people struggling with the decision. Mind you, the flat out lying in media circles does great harm, but normal people, hearing all sorts of things...sometimes from medical professionals need to be given some latitude to cut through the noise to make the best choice for them.

    Interesting, Isn't that partly due to them having such a small number of unvaccinated adults left?

    I wonder how those unvaccinated numbers would compare if they were broken down between those who have had COVID before and those who have not.

    Go GATORS!

    Pretty much everyone in England has the antibodies I read recently and 82% are vaxxed. These numbers are clearly a part of a unique dynamic there.

    Without digging into the data, this is what is most likely happening in the UK. Nobody under the age of 16 can get vaccinated in the UK, and their overall percent of vaccinated citizens is higher than here in the US. So less percent of their population eligible, and more overall vaccinated would indicate the reason there are more breakthrough deaths is likely due to the fact that 90% of seniors, or more, are likely vaccinated.

    Actual ages are also important. The UK had a research project that showed an 80-year-old with a breakthrough case had similar outcomes to a an unvaxxed 50-year-old. What is the median age of the breakthrough deaths? What's the median age for the unvaxxed? We're just looking at a large age range, and it could b

    You really should focus along with all of us in perpetuating the truth that if you are healthy…your outcome from getting Covid is nothing to worry about. The data shows this. Of course there are the stories where that is not the case. But the data shows if you are healthy and young especially…this disease is not a real threat.

    On top of that it will be a great help in providing relief to the healthcare system as a whole with all the other health issues people face because they do not take proper care of themselves.

    Already posted. How about we let the FDA do their job and let them look at the data and make the decision instead of forcing their hand.

    Not sure. Seems like people are testing positive but luckily the vaccine is working and hospitalizations and deaths aren't going up.
