I don't believe that the vaccinated are as high as 90%. It is about 25% for children.

Thank you for asking. I'm feeling great. I have no symptoms at this point. I've been more ill with a common cold which, thankfully, I get only about every ten years or so.

The 3rd sentence is completely false - about vaxed and un vaxxed.

Sounds like the "mild" covid. Get well soon. Good to hear you are vaccinated & boosted.; I think that helps keep it mild.

I’m refusing vaccines at this point fit myself as I’m afraid to mess with my immunity. Every person knows their body and what works best. There’s no one fits all.

I tested very high with antibodies and was delighted until I came down with a serious case of COVID.

That's not a successful analogy because the situation of rain and an umbrella are wildly different than CV spread indoors -- because among other things a virus spreads BOTH horizontally and vertically.depending on indoor air currents.

We are very grateful and happy that you and Mr. Bean are doing okay. We need you around this joint to keep the rig raf in line. Hopefully this will be in your rear view mirror shortly!

You are wrong:

COVID-19 vaccines prevent 90 percent of all infections, CDC study says | The Hill

The vaccine WOULD have ended the Pandemic in its tracks if the anti-vaccine neanderthals had not caused less than 95 % vaccine participation. The anti-vaxers are part of a growing trend to drag American society back in time. Which I fail to see what the gain and logic of that whole plot could be? Destroy modern society just for the hell of it?

It may NOT hurt MOST human flies, but ACTUALLY, some people are still dying.

I always look for who benefits.

We KNOW China and Russia have very intense disinformation campaigns running in the US. And the use of a few influencers can have dramatic effects.

I don't see China benefiting from our falling, they are out performing us in most areas. Russia on the other hand, has a dictator that hates us and wants to put the USSR back together again. Strangely enough a few major influencers seem to be constantly pushing Putin/Russia's position - even getting air-time in Russia.

Might just be wildly coincidental, but as you said, I also fail to see the logic of Americans trying to destroy America. We may have our differences, we always have. but...

After severe reaction to 1/2 first dose, every physician, refused to allow any vaccine dose for me. I was exposed daily for 17 months, yet never had any symptoms. Doesn’t mean I didn’t get it, but testing was not used for employees at the facility.

So I guessing you consider someone like me dragging American society back in time to destroy it. Of course if I hadn’t worked all those hours 7 days a week there would be far less who aren’t taking dirt naps.

You seem to forget there are many just like me that vaccines could be the death of them

And almost 100% of those dying are unvaccinated.

CoVID 19 vaccines are not protecting you anymore. Boosters only last 4 weeks and aren’t effective against the current strain anyway. The virus mutates too quickly for them to have an effect.

Agreed. It's useless. But, the good news is that mutations are usually weaker (even if they are more communicable).

That is simply not true...

We were told (at the beginning) that vaccine had a 95% success rate in PREVENTING you from getting covid (the J&J vaccine was said to have a lower prevention rate). Fauci said it, the director of the CDC (Walensky) said it, multiple newscasters said it, even the POTUS said it. It quite easy to find videos of all of them saying it, on more than one occasion. It wasn't anyone "misspeaking"...

It wasn't until they found out that it didn't have that 95% protection rate that they changed their tune...
