Love it so people with the vaccine still can get COVID so why get the vaccine? The double talk is entertaining but dangerous. Stop selling the abc tv and USA Today fear and promote the shots instead if you really care. Or do some just enjoy scarring others with false info?

I agree with justjim. I play sports everyday, even last year when most people were afraid of dying if they go outside. Last year scare tactics were mostly political. The number of Covid deaths were way over blown because of the money hospitals would get if they put “Covid” on the visit.
I’m not in favor of getting the vaccine or not getting it, it’s up to you to decide, and the government should not be dictating to us either way. If you are nervous that you might get Covid, then by all means, protect yourself anyway you can. If you are healthy, then you should determine which direction is right for you: vaccinate or not. |

The US has so many other problems that there is LITTLE movement toward any, "plant a tree" efforts. Look around at the yards here in TV Land - many are like a desert of grass with very little shrubbery and trees for trim and accents. Grass in yards by itself, requires excess fertilizer and loud, pollution-producing gas (not electric) lawn mowing - and golf courses that get zero use in the summer afternoon. The point is that TV Land is no ecological paradise and in many ways IS the perfect example of the problem for the future and NOT the solution. So, talk about your perfect grandchildren, while ignoring your generation's responsibilities to the health and welfare of their lives. TV Land does NOT even PRETEND to be interested in anything but more and more greedy development. |

If I'm not mistaken, herd immunity is something that's achieved over time through natural infection and vaccine use. As many have mentioned on here, most people didn't have access to the vaccine until mid-April because of age restrictions initially and vaccine availability. That depended on the state you lived in and how much of the vaccine they received and could distribute.

Both her parents, who had been fully vaccinated since March, got COVID and her father is very ill and might have to be hospitalized. Her siblings also had it along with other family members. So does the vaccine really work against the variants? It'd be nice if someone without a vested interest, political or otherwise, would tell us. Maybe they have but we don't want to listen? |

Delta IS BOTH more contagious AND more DEADLY. 97% of all CV hospitalizations are among the UNvaccinated. There are now 5 CV pediatric patients at Advent Health in Orlando. There are 49 CV patients in our local hospital. They are ALL unVACCINATED! If someone could interview them, I am convinced that they WISHED that they had gotten vaccinated - some MAY (?) have tubes into their throats and would have difficulty speaking. Good luck to everyone that is UNvaccinated!

NO vaccine is 100%. effective. The current vaccine was developed (designed) to fight the original COVID-19. It was very very effective against the original COVID-19. There is no doubt, there are countless studies by professionals that actually work in the field of epidemics and pandemics that show this They do not show 100% effectiveness, but very close. The variant happened. No need to point fingers about why, it happened, now we need to deal with that DELTA variant. The initial studies (which are limited in scope - for many reasons so far) show that DELTA is very much more contagious than the original virus. So, many more people will get it. Initial indications are the DELTA, a new virus that can infect some people that have been vaccinated for the original virus. It appears the vaccine is about 80% effective, meaning about 20% of the people that have been vaccinated may get the DELTA. But, that is very preliminary data and should be taken with a grain of salt. There seems to be no doubt that some people that have been vaccinated can be infected by the DELTA variant. So, CDC recommended returning to wearing masks until we have more data to show exactly how effective the vaccine is. BUT, so far all indications are that the vaccine is very effective in preventing serious symptoms and/or hospitalizations in people that become infected with the DELTA variant. Of the people in many (most?) hospitals with COVID now, MOST (over 90%) are unvaccinated. I can't find a number from any "credible source" of how many of the people who are fully vaccinated and get DELTA and die. It is generally estimated as very few. most that die from DELTA are unvaccinated. |

Imagine being born in 1900. When you are 14 years old World War I begins and ends when you are 18, with 22 million dead. Shortly after the world pandemic, flu called ′′ Spanish ", killing 50 million people. You go out alive and free, and you are 20 years old. Then at the age of 29 you survive the global economic crisis that started with the collapse of the New York Stock Exchange causing inflation, unemployment and hunger. Nazis come to power at 33. You are 39 when world war 2. begins and it ends when you are 45 during the Holocaust (Shoah), 6 million Jews die. There will be a total of more than 60 million dead. When your 52th Korean war begins. When you are 64, the Vietnam war begins and ends when you are 75. A baby born in 1985 believes his grandparents have no idea how hard life is, and survived several wars and disasters. A boy born in 1995 and 25 today believes that the end of the world when his Amazon package takes more than three days to arrive or if he doesn't exceed 15 likes for his posted photo on Facebook or Instagram... In 2020., many of us live in comfort, have access to various sources of entertainment at home and often have more than needed. But people complain about everything. They have electricity, phone, food, hot water and a roof over their heads. None of this existed. But humanity survived much more serious circumstances and never lost the joy of life. Maybe it's time to be less selfish, stop whining and crying

"Fortunately, there's a built-in impediment to what might otherwise be a potentially endless march toward ever-more-dangerous variants: The virus will at some point run out of ways to become nastier, thanks to the relatively simple structure of the spike protein, which can only be mutated in a few hundred different ways, most of which won't make the virus more harmful. "There are only so many changes that can be made to the spike protein without making it non-functional," says Vail. "I'd be cautious about saying that it can keep mutating indefinitely." Another big break: Unlike the flu virus, SARS-CoV-2 doesn't have a structure that lends itself to mixing and matching genetic material between different variants. That "recombination" capability is what helps make the flu a moving target each year for vaccines." |
