    Breaking: Amish just find out about Covid. Spokesperson explains they don’t have TV’s.

    Don’t be a sheep and follow the man who told you to wear a mask he knew did not work. You are smarter than that!

    need to be more specific since I think there have been 4 or 5 booster shots available. And another one is about to come out next week. Wondering if the effectiveness of this one will be above 0%

    Vaccine efficacy is a meaningless concept.

    Unless you’re talking terms of how efficient the shot is at causing injury and death.

    The whole thing is a cluster. I presumably have now had Covid twice. Never tested but based on some who did and timing really confident I had it twice. Nothing but a cold and low grade fever. And that is what the data showed it would be for me. Yet some think the shot automatically reduces symptoms. I bet soho based on his comment dealt with Covid far worse than I did all shot up with mRNA lol…

    Nope I got it before the vax had every symptom known to man felt like I had been in a severe car accident (this was also pre Rinvoq). Two weeks on the couch a month to feel right. CoViD now is a minor concern thanks primarily to the fact that it’s no longer the deadly strain of Alpha and Delta. My last 3 infections were a one or two days affair. I tested because I know my body each time it was Covid. There’s nothing in virology to suggest that it can’t mutate to a deadlier strain and there’s a near certainty something different worse will pop up. When/if it does I’ll wear a mask. I hope you stay strong and don’t. I’d drink to that.

    You can’t have a variant without a referent.

    How many shots lol?

    And if you knew it was Covid…why did you test? Just to know? It’s viral. And as you seem to understand. You get better as your body heals.

    Arguably, the stupidest AND most tragic belief is the belief that other people are deadly disease vectors.

    Three shots and 5 times infected. And you think we don’t take infection control seriously. LOL!

    Infection control is massively important. It will get you fired if you can’t properly implement it.

    Maybe instead of putting yourself in vulnerable positions early on at the gym you should have respected others by working out outside. Kind of like I did. Of course I say that in jest because of your ignorance and arrogance. We were all going to get the dumb thing.

    But no one needs to listen to you about avoiding Covid lol. Your so selfish you figured out how to get infected 5 times. All while taking the shots.

    It is debatable how much less deadly the recent strains are compared to the original ones. I’ve seen some say it’s comparable I’ve seen others say it’s moderately less. The big difference is almost everybody now in the US has had either vaccination, natural immunity or both.

    Look at China at the beginning of the year - it is estimated that almost 2 million died in around 2 months, although hard numbers are not available. Their immunity profile was much less and their vaccines far less effective.

    Ergo, thoughts and prayers with your entirely unnecessary vaccines … upload_2023-9-5_17-17-55.png

    From medical experts as opposed to the "alien sperm doctor misinformation frequently posted in this thread.:

    "The most recent week-to-week data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show a 21.6% increase in hospital stays related to Covid. The increase is far below what the nation has previously endured, however. The current level of Covid hospitalizations is a third of what it was a year ago."

    "What are they waiting for? They need to step up their game now, and get the booster out ASAP to the public," said Dr. Hugh Cassiere, director of critical care services at South Shore University Hospital, part of Northwell Health in New York."

    "The timeline doesn't sit well with Cassiere, who worries that a combination of kids back in school, workers back in the office and Jewish holiday gatherings in mid-September will lead to additional increases in viral activity"

    "This is the perfect setup for a huge spike that will lead right into the winter," he said."


    CDC says there are no plans to bring back mask mandates, even as Covid cases rise

    You got it twice and apparently exposed innocent, unsuspecting people to it.
