The second is a faith-based opinion that has nothing to do with science, from one of the original anti-vaxxers, talking about small pox vaccination. A hundred--hundred!-- years ago. Opinions and faith-based ideas that differ from what's empirically established is not valid science.

This post would be absolutely correct, IF you just substitute the word "quacks" for "doctors"

I accept the premise of your post which is why I simply do not understand our government's lack of interest in therapeutics? Many doctors have written that they have had considerable success with new and existing drugs in the treatment of COVID, yet I have also read that hospitals routinely are not using them. Why? I know some people are down on any kind of treatment because an unnamed former president suggested some, but that is not an intelligent way to make decisions. If we accept that this virus is going to be around from a long time to forever, let's embrace finding effective ways of treating it.

100 deaths: almost all -unvaccinated. Vaccines: not 100% but upwards of 90% effective in preventing infection and offer protection in the event of infection. |

Just Get Vaccinated
The case rate among fully vaccinated is very, very low.
COVID-19 Vaccine Breakthrough Cases: Data from the States | KFF To quote from the above link: Overall, we find that: Half of states (25) report some data on COVID-19 breakthrough events (see Table 1). Twenty-four provide data on breakthrough cases, 19 on hospitalizations and on deaths. Fifteen of these states regularly update these data, often on a weekly basis. The rest use a different frequency, have one-time reports, have stopped updating, or have an unclear reporting frequency. The data reported from these states indicate that breakthrough cases, hospitalizations, and deaths are extremely rare events among those who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (see Figure 1). The rate of breakthrough cases reported among those fully vaccinated is well below 1% in all reporting states, ranging from 0.01% in Connecticut to 0.29% in Alaska. The hospitalization rate among fully vaccinated people with COVID-19 ranged from effectively zero (0.00%) in California, Delaware, D.C., Indiana, New Jersey, New Mexico, Vermont, and Virginia to 0.06% in Arkansas. (Note: Hospitalization may or may not have been due to COVID-19.) The rates of death among fully vaccinated people with COVID-19 were even lower, effectively zero (0.00%) in all but two reporting states, Arkansas and Michigan where they were 0.01%. (Note: Deaths may or may not have been due to COVID-19.) The surge in COVID is occurring among the unvaccinated. The solution to COVID, and getting back to life as “normal” is: Get vaccinated. |

All you vaccinated folk can infect each other without any help from me or others. You can also catch and spread the virus to all the "vulnerable" population (elderly, sick, immune compromised, etc) all by yourselves. So, why the passports? Lockdowns? Masks? F*cking the economy up? Now, it's even move obvious that it's all about control. The only people at risk are those CHOOSING not to get vaccinated. Let me take my risk. Don't worry about me. Go about your lives. It would now seem, given the current parameters, that we should just put COVID-19 on ignore. According to the experts, there is no reason to ask anyone "are you vaccinated?" as your behavior should be the same no matter what the answer. The unwashed masses are not more likely to be infected / contagious / dangerous than all those who chose the path of putting an experimental cocktail in their arm (twice). It boils down to this fact: The various rules then are simply to coerce vaccination.

They're shots (not vaccines). They're experimental and the experiment is not over. I'm not getting them (ever). About 90 million people agree (USA). And, I'm not wearing the damn mask. Majority doesn't rule here. My body, my choice. Get over it. |

Based on that, we will achieve herd immunity pretty quickly… |

Very good post. I totally agree- we need to learn to live with the virus. Just like we live with the flu. There will be people who succumb to it as with any other virus. All measures are in place to protect us. Time to get back to normal life.
