    I guess you would consider this BS.
    Findings In this cross-sectional study of US adults hospitalized with COVID-19 during January 2022 to April 2022 (during Omicron variant predominance), COVID-19-associated hospitalization rates were 10.5 times higher in unvaccinated persons and 2.5 times higher in vaccinated persons with no booster dose, respectively, compared with those who had received a booster dose. Compared with unvaccinated hospitalized persons, vaccinated hospitalized persons were more likely to be older and have more underlying medical conditions.

    Meaning The study results suggest that COVID-19 vaccines are strongly associated with prevention of serious COVID-19 illness.

    I don’t anyone who became seriously ill after ‘testing positive’ for Covid*.

    I do know two people who’ve been seriously harmed by the so-called vaccines. One was paralyzed, the other suffered massive clotting and has to lug around an oxygen canister.

    Ridiculous. I know several to the contrary and few if any after the vaccine. That isn't to say people don't have reactions to vaccines.

    My careful use of punctuation signals my non-belief in viruses. And it is ridiculous to deny massive mounting evidence for vaccine harms.

    Of course it does. You choose your own facts. Just coincidence that a man I worked with contracted covid and died with his sister doing the same 2 days apart. Or that my father tested positive and ended up in the hospital for a month. Or that a young and healthy lifeguard that worked in an adjacent agency did the same. Or that my friends dad died after battling it for 2 months. I could go on and on but you live in an alternate reality and will make some bizzare conclusion that justifies your quack beliefs. I haven't blocked you as others have because I find it somewhat amusing but maybe it's time.

    Take the shots if you want. Spare me the notion you know they are the reason for a mild case. I use to support them for high risk groups. Now…they are pointless.

    And it is flat wrong to push these things in young healthy people.

    Apart from just the annoyance it is personally offensive when people spout disinformation and people have experienced what you have. At some level people like Q and others are complicit in these deaths by their participation in this nonsense. I view them as having similar levels of integrity as Alex Jones.

    I’ve blocked pretty much all of them but I still have to wade through people fecklessly responding to them.

    I assume they got the earlier more deadlier versions?

    Yes. Most all were Delta. And the people I mentioned were not the only 1st hand accounts I have but they were all delta as well.

    No one ever got sick and died before March 2020.

    Seen on internet ...

    I've finally discovered why some people are obsessed with covid testing.

    1. Feeling bad. Test - Not COVID. Stay home and rest.
    2. Feeling bad. Test- Is Covid. Log onto Twitter.

    This is pure nonsense. But if it makes you feel better…

    The data has shown my position to be the correct one.

    Hes on ignore now but funny how the pseudo-intellectual contrarian that doesn't believe in viruses claims people got "sick" before covid. I forget if Dugger is dreamliner or not but if so it makes sense as his claims on fitness and diet were just as bizzare and contrarian. He truly lives in his own delusional self importan mind

    I can prove to you that virology is pseudoscience in two steps ...

    (1) Find any, ANY paper purporting to have isolated ANY virus.

    (2) Go to METHODS section.

    If you’re not left scratching your head ... you may be captured.

    I have updated your comment above since so many seem so horribly uneducated about what a vaccine is and what it's purpose is.

    Science - the pursuit and application of knowledge and understanding of the natural and social world following a systematic methodology based on evidence.

    Science since 2020 - “WTF ? You must be some kind of Trumper!!!”
