"Clinical trials have demonstrated that early treatment with anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibodies can reduce the risk of COVID-19 hospitalization or death by 70 [percent] to 85 percent."

And YES.......I read about this study in the NY Times, which some (MANY) will immediately say, "it's just a commie, lib, radical, hippy type WORTHLESS newspaper. So, there, I saved you the trouble! Ignore this study at your own risk of IGNORANCE.

My question is - is anyone in the medical profession monitoring this, or does our info come from politicians and/or anecdotal testimonials? Who is keeping the stats?

We decided against going for the third shot right now even though no documentation is needed as we feel possibly we would take it away from someone who actually needs it right now.

“ Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, sought to remind Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis of the critical role played by vaccines throughout history in response to the Republican’s latest controversial comments about COVID-19 shots.

“ DeSantis ― whose state is currently being ravaged by the highly contagious delta variant of the virus and who has personally battled to ban mask mandates in schools ― on Friday suggested vaccinations are “about your health and whether you want that protection or not” and “really doesn’t impact me or anyone else.”

yes, DeSantis is saying get the vaccine but he's make a huge show of opening the regeneron clinics. so that isn't really reinforcing that the vaccine is necessary. in a way, it's saying you don't have to get the vaccine because he's an alternate. I'm not saying to not have the clinics, but he's hardly beating the drum for vaccination while taking photo ops every time he opens one of these.

Ok, my concern is the removal of trash, gloves, medical gear, etc from the building....drive over for yourself...go outback in the parking lot. They had a dumpster ( low sides) delivered and sitting out back of the theatre...we watched a fully garbed , masked, person with full gear...they throw the trash out in the dumpster with no lid, torn open bags, etc. of medical waste....we seen the wind blowing the trash, and birds. just wondering if they are disposing of it correctly and safely for the community?

And while I know that YOU do not need it, and find it …whatever….

“The rate of hospitalization among the vaccinated was 1 per 100,000 people. The age-adjusted hospitalization rate in unvaccinated persons was 29.4 per 100,000.”

And forgive me for attaching a link to that..

What Vaccinated People Need to Know About Breakthrough Infections - The New York Times

And on the comment about the New York Times, which is understand you are not making, but repeating……

I have asked and asked for folks to show me proof of what they say about The NY Times……..never get any.

The assault on the Times has an pretty easy source if you are interested, and it always, the attacks, when someone does not like REAL FACTUAL news……I assume that most are smart enough to know i am not speaking to editorial comment, but reporting of news.

And the adjectives you used, which are pretty accurate go back many years and were always proven worthless then and still are. File it under…..”not really wanting truth but more interested in being made feel good” OR even “articles are too long and full of news”. BOTH of which I have read on this forum.

Sorry for supplying a link and a quote…….but you know some people do not tell the truth or bend it quite a bit.

Just wanted to add more of Dr Faucci remarks, as I have been reminded that most do not care to read any links, so allow me to bore them a bit more in what Dr Faucci had to say...

“If he feels that vaccines are not important for people, that they are just important for some people, that’s completely incorrect,” Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said on Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “New Day.”

“Vaccination ... has been the solution to every major public health issue in which a vaccine was developed for,” he continued. “I mean: smallpox, polio, measles. I’m not sure what people are talking about when they push back on vaccinations. It is historically, over decades and decades and decades, shown to be the way you control an infectious disease.”

I mean, obviously it’s important for you as an individual for your own personal protection, safety and health. But when you have a virus that’s circulating in the community and you are not vaccinated, you are part of the problem because you are allowing yourself to be a vehicle for the virus to be spreading to someone else.”

“It isn’t as if it stops with you. If that were the case, then it would be only about you. But it doesn’t,” he added. “You can get infected even if you get no symptoms or minimally symptomatic and then pass it on to someone who in fact might be very vulnerable ― an elderly person, a person with an underlying disease. So when you’re dealing with an outbreak of an infectious disease, it isn’t only about you. There is a societal responsibility that we all have.”

To those who are insulted by links to back up....that’s it.

That’s simply not true as he has done everything that he could to get the vaccines rolled out here and has strongly encouraged people to get vaccinated. He along with Fauci are pushing for this treatment as it keeps people from getting very sick, ending up in the hospital, and potentially dying.

Your "silliness" is another's truth. Seems you just do not like the narrative that does not fit your agenda. I do NOT agree with your stance so there is that.
