    Or you try threads where you are at least batting over .100 on. I get it, i'd deflect too if I took the proven wrong positions that you did. Tough luck champ. Maybe next time.

    The death of expertise, my ignorance is as good as your years of experience. And if we accept ignorance as excellence, there is no motivation to improve. Lazy Americans like that will be the end of our country.

    The local health department of a rural southern Missouri county is halting its COVID-19 response efforts after Attorney General Eric Schmitt wrote agencies this week demanding they drop mitigation measures.

    The Laclede County Health Department, which serves a 35,000-person county northeast of Springfield, made the announcement in a Facebook post Thursday morning that it was suspending “all COVID-19 related work.”

    It will no longer investigate COVID cases, contact-trace, issue directives for exposed residents to quarantine themselves or make public announcements of case numbers and deaths. The department pointed residents to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and their personal doctors for directions on what to do about a COVID diagnosis.

    Cases have been on the uptick in Laclede County since mid-November, according to the state health department. Just 35% of the population is fully vaccinated, compared with 52% of the state. One person there has died from COVID in the past week. State figures show the county has Missouri’s sixth-highest COVID death rate.

    These moron public health officials and government authoritarians are reaping what they sowed. And it is/was evil what they did with these vaccine mandates. And to a group that is most likely to have natural immunity and be better protected than those with just a new drug. A group that worked face to face with Covid patients from the beginning.

    Pure Evil!

    While natural immunity immediately after infection is stronger than immunity provided through vaccination it also fades over time and in the case of the new Omicron variant natural immunity appears to be less effective than for previous variants with the reinffection rate while still low being considerably higher.
    Reinffection following infection.
    How long does Covid-19 natural immunity last? Here's what new research suggests.

    Reinffection rate Omicron variant
    Does the Omicron variant increase risk of reinfection?
    • Omicron, which is the latest SARS-CoV-2 variant of concern, is spreading globally.
    • A South African study has found high rates of reinfection among those with previous confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infections since the beginning of November. This was when scientists discovered the Omicron variant there.
    • These observations suggest that Omicron can evade immunity from prior infection.

    It is likely this variant will evade some natural immunity. It is evading almost all new drug takers. That said…the good news is the early data on omicron is that it appears much less dangerous. That said…I still don’t know a single person with a reinfection. I know lots who were “vaccinated” and got the virus. The other good news is natural immunity in the rare case one gets reinfected also protects against severe disease.

    Booster up. These variants do not care. o_O:confused::cool::eek:;):):D

    You seem like a nice enough dude but I don't think you realize how harmful it is when you perpetuate the narrative of those whom you disagree with are "evil". It also isn't really consistent with your faith. These evil public health officials have dedicated their life to this field, and by and large are doing the best they can, given the uncertainty of the situation and the political constraints they work under. It is your right to disagree with whatever they do, but characterizing them as evil is over the top. They are human beings, and while you seem fairly affable, there are others who feel the same way as you and decide to take things into their own hands, make death threats, have people fired for nothing other than politics, etc.

    amazingly ironic. Coming to a public message board and regurgitating this bullshit truly is evil. He might be the most horrifically selfish person I’ve ever encountered.

    Well I know people that have gotten the virus and all were unvaccinated, therefore you are 100% wrong.
    Wow, this making up crap with no true source is a bit liberating and self-fulfilling, though somewhat juvenile, and intellectually embarrassing.

    Something that definitely needs a lot more research. Not peer reviewed yet for sure but something to think about. Luckily this doesn't seem to be happening with children in this study but like I said, we need a lot more research on this to see if there is a correlation or not.


    Appendicitis as a possible safety signal for the COVID-19 vaccines





    Then we have this from the FDA Comirnaty BLA. Median onset of days to appendicitis was 22 days in vax group and 50 in placebo.

    What they are doing with these authoritarian dictates is evil. You have to call a spade a spade.

    I am sure you do. I know people who were unvaccinated and got it. I know people who were vaccinated and got it. Most dealt with it as a cold/flu vaccinated or unvaccinated. Some had it worse than others vaccinated or unvaccinated.

    Booster up!

    And what you are doing is perpetuating lies which collectively have caused 100,000s to needlessly die.
