OT Coronavirus: America in chaos, News and Updates. One million Americans dead and counting

Will be interesting with school starting in a month and kids under 12 who can’t be vaxxed get sick and you find out some dumbfuck dad wouldn’t get vaccinated and sent it to school with his kid. That should go over well.

 

What's up with the booster shot. 6 months coming up soon for first people getting the vaccines and no data yet?

 

Seems like the vaccines are still working. I haven't seen any evidence that would suggest a booster shot would be needed.

Need to focus on getting as many people fully vaccinated as possible.

 

Just has a call from our HS Athletic Director, one of the moms traveling in California with the team tested positive, and since her 17 year old daughter isn't vaccinated she'll have to quarantine and go home.

She said she feels fine though. No symptoms so far.

 

We were initially told that the vaccines provide effective coverage for up to 6 months. What changed? New evidence, or are there more adverse effects from a booster shot and its not approved yet?

Are there 3rd shot booster trials going on right now?

 

They knew the vaccines protected people for at least six months at the time, but there is still no evidence that the protection is fading. So now you're probably good for at least a year.

They won't really know unless vaccinated people start getting sick at higher rates. Luckily that hasn't happened.

There was a lot of initial vaccine hesitancy among those with good reason to mistrust, Black people, LatinX and poor. But most of that has been alleviated although access still a problem for those without health care access generally. Now, among the unvaccinated, the big majority are Trump cult. Not just the wacko Bill Gates microchip QAnon crowd but a large number who won't get vaccinated because it's what the "radical left" wants.

That I would ever live to hear Joe Biden called radical left.

 

No, you're right. All they've done is change their tune.

 

Pfizer puts the time table at 6 months.

 

Whenever his lips moved.

 

The statistics don’t back up anything you’ve said. Numbers are still low throughout those minority groups, it hasn’t been “alleviated”. And I don’t think “trump cult Qanon bill gates microchip people” are a demographic who’s numbers are being exclusively counted. Sounds like you are just ranting about people you don’t like being the cause of every problem.

 

Let's compare an idiot liar like Rand Paul against one of the world's leading experts on infectious diseases. Hmm, who to choose, who to choose. I think I know, I think I know.

 

Look at the red states and their infection and death rates and compare them with the blue states and their infection and death rates. Notice anything?

 

Only now are they encouraging it. They've got a hell of a lot of momentum to overcome.

 

I notice hyperbole being used to degrade people who vote differently than you and crandc.

 

It's easy to use hyperbole and difficult to stick to facts and logic, on that we can agree.

 

Some may just now be actively encouraging it, but they weren’t ever really telling people NOT to get it, that’s literally all I was saying.

But, at the end of the day, I don’t trust Republicans any more than I do Democrats so I’ll just continue to disregard any directives I’m given by the political class.
