Have you not seen the talk from the “covid isn’t real, it’s just the flu!” Crowd? That absolutely dominates the social media and major media outlet commentary by the masses At least here regionally. There’s an unnerving number of people who dispute the whole thing. And it is simply due to their narrow scope of experience. Confirmation bias is the lynchpin of the idiocy of so many tinfoil hat conspiracy theory types that are so vocal. I respectfully am not pointing any fingers at you personally when I say that. Simply suggesting there are indeed many people who do doubt not only the severity, but the existence of a real pandemic at all.

This has been mostly about mortality rates. And what got all this started was the media constantly citing obvious bogus numbers by using only known cases vs deaths. They were talking 5-7% mortality rate. In response people said it was bullshite, that it was closer to the flu which has a 0.1% mortaltiy rate.

The actual mortality rate ended up being around 0.2% overall, but as someone pointed out recently it appears to be higher than that in the US(and likely other places with higher levels of obese and elderly).

So those people pretty much were right. It's still twice as deadly as the flu in it's worse years minimum, but it's a far cry from what the media was claiming when all this fear was driven up.

I will agree with you on one point. If you have natural immunity, I see no reason to be vaccinated. I support my healthcare system in creating a vaccine requirement. However I disagree that people who can show active antibodies should have to get it. I wouldn’t tell them NOT to. If I caught it naturally I’d likely still get vaccinated after 90 days. But if you have active immunity, it shouldn’t be a requirement to be vaccinated.

---

That's your choice, but I see no reason even after the 90 days or however long the active antibodies last(which would be longer if we were constantly exposed like we would be with the flu and other covids). My body has fought it off once, it should have an easier time.

These things strengthen my immune system, not make them weaker. If they were something that was making my immune system weaker, then my opinion would be different.

My risk is even lower now than before outside my increase in age over the past year. Our bodies are the result of evolution on a time scale we can't even really comprehend outside just a number, it's capable of handling this.

If your immune system isn't so strong, then the vaccine makes sense.

Interesting article, but the expert didn't refute that. Just said it isn't necessarily always true.

"So I think if people are making a blanket statement that natural infection is always better, that's not always correct. It really depends on the virus."

By the way, look at this quote from that article:

"The counter view is that the virus may encode immune antagonists that could alter the immune response in some way that's not as good as, say, a vaccine."

Stating the counter view neither says it has merit or is held by many.
If anything, he showed that we probably had (and have) much better means to tackle a coronavirus than this vaccine.

Yes sir. The truth is it's not as deadly either.

Yep. My sister had her's checked on Thursday. 11 months later.. Antibodies.

I just took an antibodies test, still present.

Had Covid in March

Besides that, it’s not just having active antibodies. Once you’ve had the virus you’re immune system can quickly produce a strong antibody response if infected again

Still disturbing for Israel & world seeking salvation in vaccination.

What next?

With low excess death, time to treat COVID-19 in same way flu treated for decades:

* Treat the sick

* Stop sensational news

* Stop releasing PCR case data

Ding ding ding. There's going to be a variant every year, regardless of how many people are vaccinated.

quote:

---

Ohio State just required all students be vaccinated.

Penn State does not, but requires frequent testing if not vaccinated.

Not sure how many other schools will change it now that one vaccine is FDA approved.

---

Here is the complete list as of 20 August, but it actually has been updated as LSU is now listed as requiring COVID-19 vaccine. From Local news sources, students must have 1st shot by 10 September and 2nd shot by 15 October which is around the time LSU goes on Fall Break. Students opting to not take the vaccine must be tested for COVID I think twice a week for the rest of the semester and show negative test.

I never said they kicked them out…

I said they stopped performing surgeries so that they could reserve ICU beds for COVID patients. Which is an absolute fact you fricking bafoon.
Just because people have knowledge on what is actually happening in the world, that you yourself may not have, does not mean they are lying.
Shows a lack of education.

---

They stopped performing elective surgeries is more likely. So if they delayed anything it was because it wasn't life threatening to them.

You claimed people were dying because of it.

This is a good point. They'll have to set up several test stations the week of the game, and especially on game day.

---

Rapid test is not acceptable. They want PCR which essentially makes it impossible to acquire one in 72 hours

Gilbert back at practice?
