Covid-19 Discussion (moderated)

Yes that is weird...maybe it was meant to show the "legacy" of the Polio vaccine...

Speaking of vaccines, I would like to promote this site:

https://www.vaccines.gov/

You can use this site to find Covid-19 vaccination centers in your zip code.

Here's a more complete list of vaccines from the CDC.  Both of those reference links are also on the first page of thread.

C9nt8nuing my series on Israël...  Yes,  You read it well 😇

Tomorrow we'll be passing 230 million cases worldwide.  US is at 43 million cases.

The Covid death toll in America has surpassed that of the 1918 flu pandemic of 675,000 deaths. Good job America.

   There's nowhere left for Covid to go says Oxford vaccine Dr.....                                      https://www.yahoo.com/news/nowhere-left-covid-mutate-deadly-175101965.html                                       

If you play professional sports youre ok Ron.

Americans are clueless, (and thoroughly uninterested) in the fact that most middle-income and lower income countries are depedent on vaccines from (mostly) OECD-based countries and their respective pharmacutical industries.  So the virus variants are (essentially) given a free hand to continue to mutate around the globe.  On (almost) a weekly Dr. Fauci is interviewed on Meet the Press.  Why are some many NOT listening to Fauci ??  Very Sad.

But you have to read into the second half of this WEIRD and seemingly contradictory article until you come across this section --

“If we don’t vaccinate people and there is uncontrolled transmission and infection, then that is the right training ground for the virus to really emerge. That is a real variant of concern,” she added."

And that quote comes after 2 pages of text which appears to argue virtually the opposite of the quote above.  WTF is up that crazy-arse article on Yahoo News posted by RJCote ??

  I posted it for the benefit of all those "clueless" Americans you referenced in post 3143. 

Hmm...

Except Tennessee, where kids are unvaccinated

Covid cases in kids are soaring. In Tennessee, most remain unmasked and unvaccinated.

...I would posit that you cannot have an "informed and prayerful" decision.  You either made the decision based on information, and the prayer is outside of that as it should be, or the "praying" influenced your decision, and it can no longer be called an informed decision.  It's just a decision at that point, with both informed and uninformed factors involved.

    IM Bacon,...... here's one for you.  Nurse needs a transplant in Colorado. Says she won't get the vaccine because of what they do to the stem cells.   So the hospitals say,.."Ok, you won't get the transplant".  By any other rational, this is suicide.                                                                                                                             https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/newsvideos/colorado-woman-who-wont-get-vaccinated-denied-transplant/vi-AAPhDbR                                                                        

Yep, there's dirt on every shoe.

Meanwhile...45 million cases in the US.  The dubious milestone of 50 million is almost assured now with anti-vaxxers running around.

I do know there are certain religious beliefs that forbid medical intervention.  I assume that she belongs to this group?  I didn't watch the video, so im only assuming here. 

But to give and uneducated opinion?  Its her right to not get vaccinated, just like its the hospitals right to deny the transplant.  Ahhhh...the weekend is here and on vacation next week.

My ex-wife's family were some religion that did not believe in blood transfusions.  She was born with the wrong blood type (or something like that) and needed a blood transfusion.  He parents agreed to it, and were given the boot from the church. 

I got a letter from a religious instituition in regard to the vaccine!

Anyhow is this justified that "other" people cannot do certain things but voila religion and you get these certain "options".

A great topic for a different thread.
