Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

I’d rather watch this

 

It's the only data we have and there are a lot of real people sharing their stories. Google and Microsoft hide these stories. Social media giants like FB bans the injury stories or any negative vaccine posts. These tech companies do what they think is right with no science or common sense behind their decisions.

 

100% incorrect. VARES is the only data that pseudo-scientists choose to use in a sad attempt to explain their premeditated narrative. NIH, CDC and global health ministries produce much larger data that do not support the conspiracy theories.

 

I think OP meant to post this in the covid thread. Mods should move this

 

Just watch and let me know what you think…

 

It's kind of a one-sided phenomenon on this board and I've often wondered the psychology behind it. There's two new Mar-a-lago threads started by right leaning posters when they could have put them in the existing thread. Stand alone Covid threads that should be in thread. I dunno

 

Hick from the Stix with too much time on his hands.

I'd make a Styx song reference here but he's only familiar with tunes from the Hee Haw cast.

 

Yeah, the CDC did a great job posting BS "studies" that showed them what they wanted. Too funny. The WHO did not recommend masking or vaxxing young kids. But hey, you keep doing everything the cdc says like a good lemming.

 

And what do you know, Type 2 diabetes increased by a huge percentage during covid lockdowns and school closures. I mean, who could've seen this coming...

Don't worry, the CDC will keep pushing to vax kids and have them mask at school instead of helping kids get more exercise.

"A total of 3113 youth (mean [SD] 14.4 [2.4] years, 50.5% female, 40.4% Hispanic, 32.7% Black, 14.5% non-Hispanic White) were assessed. New cases of TYPE 2 DIABETES increased by 77.2% in the year during the pandemic (n=1463) compared with the mean of the previous 2 years, 2019 (n=886) and 2018 (n=765). Likelihood of presenting with metabolic decompensation and severe diabetic ketoacidosis also increased significantly during the pandemic."

 

It will be interesting to see who is held accountable if down the road people start having health issues after receiving 6 or 7 covid shots in the span of a year and a half.

 

from worldometer, new cases on 7 day average down 34%, deaths down 33%,and fauci is leaving, great news all around.

 

Pfizer COVID pill showed no benefit in adults under 65, study finds (msn.com)

Pfizer's COVID-19 pill appears to provide little or no benefit for adults under 65 while still reducing the risk of hospitalization and death for high-risk seniors, according to a large study published Wednesday.
The results from 109,000 patients in Israel are likely to renew questions about the U.S. government's use of Paxlovid, which has become the go-to treatment for COVID-19 because of its at-home convenience. The Biden administration has spent more than $10 billion purchasing the drug and making it available at thousands of pharmacies through its test-and-treat initiative.

The researchers found that Paxlovid reduced hospitalizations among people 65 and older by roughly 75% when given shortly after infection. That's consistent with earlier results used to authorize the drug in the U.S. and other countries.

But people between the ages of 40 and 65 saw no measurable benefit, according to the analysis of medical records.

 

One of our good friends and their son all got the vaccine. Their 16 son had a minor reaction to the first shot and almost passed out. I don't remember when they received the 2nd one, but still minor reactions.
It's probably been a year or pretty close to it sense taking the shots. Their son was taken to the hospital, and they diagnosed him having Myocarditis, he's never had any know medical issues before.

This is very scary, I'm so thankful we never forced our kids into taking the shots. All of them appear to be perfectly healthy but still they choose to get the false vaccine, all of had covid at least twice since getting the shots. So much for protection, it's causing severe health issues. I'm really concerned on how much damage to these false vaccines caused, I guess will see over the next few years

 

Dr. Oz emailed Trump admin. to push notoriously useless COVID treatment

In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, Mehmet Oz—aka Dr. Oz—repeatedly emailed top-level Trump administration officials, urging them to push the ineffective malaria drug, hydroxychloroquine, to treat COVID-19 based on scant, sketchy data from a now-disgraced French researcher.

Emails from the notorious celebrity doctor were revealed for the first time Wednesday in a report from the House select subcommittee on the coronavirus crisis. The report, titled "A 'Knife Fight' with the FDA," delved into how the Trump administration worked to undermine, pressure, and bully the Food and Drug Administration during the pandemic.

Specifically, it unearthed how the Trump White House pressured the FDA to bend safety standards so that COVID-19 vaccines could be released before election day. It also revealed the tenacious efforts and subterfuge by top Trump trade advisor Peter Navarro and advisor Steven Hatfill to pressure the FDA into supporting the use of the debunked malaria drug. The report's title stems from a direct quote from Hatfill that the White House had a "knife fight scheduled with the FDA" over hydroxychloroquine.

Both efforts were ultimately unsuccessful—the FDA did not authorize vaccines before the election and nor did it re-authorize hydroxychloroquine after it was clear it was not effective. But the administration's actions caused lasting damage to the FDA, the country's pandemic response, and public trust, the report concludes.

 

That's a timely question. Looks like it will be Trump who gets the blame.

Trump White House exerted pressure on FDA for Covid-19 emergency use authorizations, House report finds

I wonder how many media people will jump on the Blame Trump Train or be honest with their following and share the truth. Pfizer and BioNTech Announce Vaccine Candidate Against COVID-19 Achieved Success in First Interim Analysis from Phase 3 Study | Pfizer

 

Ruh roh, something must be about to break if their gearing up to blame trump.

 

New data shows long Covid is keeping as many as 4 million people out of work

This June, the Census Bureau finally added four questions about long Covid to its Household Pulse Survey (HPS), giving researchers a better understanding of the condition’s prevalence. This report uses the new data to assess the labor market impact and economic burden of long Covid, and finds that:

• Around 16 million working-age Americans (those aged 18 to 65) have long Covid today.
• Of those, 2 to 4 million are out of work due to long Covid.
• The annual cost of those lost wages alone is around $170 billion a year (and potentially as high as $230 billion).

 

It’s funny. They hate celebrities and the “Hollywood elite” until they take their side on a matter and all a sudden their takes matter. Lol.

 

Its why for all their hate for Hollywood, the only two true celebrity Presidents were both Republicans. They just want the person on TV or in a movie to tell them that they are right. See also Dr. Oz and Herschel Walker, this year.

 

No long covid. False.

New Study Finds That Long COVID May Not Actually Exist



“The study found that there was no evidence of long-term COVID-19 infection in patients who were six or more weeks removed from the onset of symptoms, even if those patients reported that they were experiencing “long COVID.” Further, the study found that individuals who reported having long COVID were disproportionately women and individuals with history of anxiety disorders.”
