The fact that more vaccinated people are dying than unvaccinated people, or that a higher proportion of people in hospital with covid have been vaccinated than we might expect, does nothing to undermine vaccine safety or effectiveness. In fact, it’s exactly what we’d expect from the excellent vaccines that have already saved hundreds of thousands of lives around the world.

It find it disturbing that there are only two classes of people: the Vaccinated and the Unvaccinated. Nobody ever includes those that have natural immunity. Maybe instead of a vaccine passport we should have an antibody test and carry around the results. Tests are available at LabCorp in Brownwood for $10.

Because of all the comments or reports on Covid, I have started watching a weekly update from John Hopkins. It runs every Friday at noon and lasts for 30 minutes. It is very informative and if you view in real time you can submit questions. The John Hopkins Coronavirus site has a wealth of information.

Data you used to determine 99.8%? (data I can find points to around 98% - 99%) "Except those with cormorbidities" What are the comorbidities? It seems like the list of comorbidities is so long and their prevalence in the population is so high that nearly everyone has a comorbidity. Odd logic that leads to deciding that there is a better chance to face the disease that is killing people than to take the vaccine that is preventing deaths.

Covid 19 Vaccine Effectiveness
What's your point! Your headline and comments are misleading. The Politico article actually reaffirms the fact that the vaccine is effective. Personally, I would rather be around people who are vaccinated than those who are not.
Again, "What's your point"! Quote:

Is it because the vaccine is less effective, or that vaccinated people thought that they were safe and decided to do more risky things? I suspect that, in general, most of those that got the vaccine were those who took fewer risks prior to the vaccine and then went out more afterward. I am one of those people, but I decided to avoid crowded places again after my vaccinated friend got sick. Maybe others will do like me and we will see that the percentage of cases that are vaccinated people will fall.

X22..how do you find these sites?
If you believe something and search the internet long enough, you will find someone that thinks like you. Really best to stop with internet news stations and can't stations and go back to the big 3... |

Have to wonder if we will look back in time to say we were as wrong about one position or the other regarding COVID......."all we did wrong was listen to the EPA".

Yes to vaccine passports.
Let the unvaccinated enjoy "freedom" from inside their homes while patriotic americans move about freely. Remember when patiotism meant a sacrifice for the common good? In WWII people gladly accepted years of rationing and blackouts. Soldiers letters home were read and censored. Where is that sense of civic duty now? Instead too many just in it for themselves. And as for boosters. The military gave me more vaccines and boosters than I can count. And on Monday I'm going to to the VA for the covid vaccine booster. It isn't just for my benefit. It's my patriotic duty to do what I can to stop the virus and save American lives. |

I’m not sure that vaccine passports have quite the same significance as before. Previously it was thought that the vaccinated don’t transmit the virus, but now we know the infected vaccinated people do transmit the Delta variant. The load is likely to be less in milder infections but they can transmit nevertheless. Which means the vaccines mostly protect the person who is vaccinated. That is very different from, get vaccinated to protect all of us. Still there are obvious benefits, milder cases don’t fill up the hospitals and that leaves room for other illnesses to be treated.

Probably percentage is higher now due to delta surge peaking at very high levels, and more time for vaccine efficacy to go lower. Israel reported as high as 40% when they hit peak delta surge. Follow the science dude!! |
