JoeSchmoe Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 Using todays stats from Ontario. 80% adults fully vaxxed. 6% on one dose, 14% unvaxxed. Province wide, 102 people in the ICU are unvaxxed. 7 are fully vaxxed. Given the stark contrast in the numbers, it's hard to believe Dougie wants to take his chances on natural immunity indefinitely. Especially since he's given up what many would consider a dream job. If I could sing I'd gladly do it for a cheap seat in the 300s! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead he would rather take more time to half-assed explain his choice on Twitter. “Cuz Merica.” Selfish.

Taro T Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 12 hours ago, PASabreFan said: The CDC advisory panel almost wholly endorsed boosters. It stopped short in one vote (9-6, I think) of recommending boosters for vulnerable workers. Which is the vote the CDC director overruled. But you don't care about the facts. You probably have a reliable source that says otherwise. Yes, the CDC advisory panel voted against offering boosters to those younger than 65 that don't have other immunocompromising issues by a 9-6 vote. The FDA's advisory panel also rejected approving it for the population in general on 9/17/21 by a 16-2 margin. The vote was non-binding on the FDA. As the CDC Director overruled the panel, it appears their recommendation was non-binding as well. Not sure how either of those votes equate to the "CDC advisory panel almost wholly endors(ing) boosters." Both panels approved the boosters for those over 65 & those younger than that with other immunocompromizing issues. It appears the FDA panel's age cutoff for those immunocompromized was 50 years old. Haven't seen data on whether the CDC's panel also had the 50 yo age cutoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is evidence that you can get really good broadbase immunity from it. However, society isn’t set up to verify and document the situation yet. they’re just starting to do the studies on the various combinations. One such study has said that those who have had it and who also have been vaccinated have this super immunity and is the best of all worlds. However, more needs to be done before that’s written in stone. Yes on the second part... but the studies have been limited... small sample sizes... though the results so far show no infections for those who have had covid and vaxxed. Yeh sorry don't like Allen's singing... the finger pointing is annoying too. Edited September 27, 2021 by North Buffalo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lock-downs/Mandates putting middle class folks out of business is serious (non) business. Hospitals shutting down wards because they've fired too many staff members who refused the mandate is serious business. BigBusiness (Amazon,etc) consolidating their power even more is serious business. People dying due to lock-downs is serious business. Countries like Sweden and now Croatia have said enough is enough and that their countries will no longer proceed with policies which seem to be counter-productive.

Cutting through your usual BS, at this moment — everyone over 65; everyone between 18 and 64 with an underlying condition (not just those who are immunocompromised); and everyone working in an occupation that has high-risk exposure to Covid are recommended to receive a booster. That's a huge swath of the American population. The occupational recommendation is said to encompass 60 million Americans, including grocery store workers. Underlying conditions include hypertension and high BMI, among dozens of other common ailments. Care to count those folks up? You can quibble about the language ("almost wholly endorse"), but, as they say, it's close enough for government work.

You can quibble about the language ("almost wholly endorse"), but, as they say, it's close enough for government work. And, again, the FDA's panel overwhelmingly rejected the occupational recommendation & the CDC panel rejected it by a 60% - 40% margin. That the CDC director overrode the recommendations she received does NOT mean the CDC advisory panel "almost wholly endorsed" it. The panel rejected it by a 20% margin. The director, not the advisory panel, approved it by a 100% margin. So, once again, you seem to be making stuff up to satisfy whatever random narrative you want to craft.

LGR4GM Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 Studies of who does and does not get COVID vaccines is actually fairly interesting work. There is a predominate variable at play when you look at it on a micro-level like county or congressional district. As for Doug, idc what he does. His statement was a loud yell for attention just like Cole Beasley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I got more done today than I thought I would all week, so yous will have to put up with me, although I probably won't be around as constantly as usual. Maybe.

miles Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 Coworker of mine has a child that is student teaching. He found out the primary teacher caught covid. The corworkers child had to get tested and was negative I said to her that its pretty rare for vaccinate people to get it. She told me he isnt vaxxed, nobody in their house is. I find it nuts the schools are not requiring vaxx for the teachers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabre Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 Sooooo I'm currently in quarantine because I picked up COVID on my trip to Detroit last week. Went and got a rapid test after work Thursday because I was supposed to head to Massachusetts to see some friends this weekend and I wanted to be sure. Wasn't symptomatic at the time, but woke up Friday feeling pretty crappy. I'm vaccinated and I'm here to tell you this sucks anyway. When I'm up and moving around it's mostly just cold symptoms, runny nose, soreness. But it takes a lot of effort to get moving. I'm on day 2 and I just got out of bed after sleeping for 14 hours. Basically just getting up to eat, drink water, take Tylenol and move around a bit. Will probably be back in bed pretty early tonight. I think if I wasn't vaccinated I'd be terrified of the ways this could devolve. This is very similar to when I had pneumonia except so far I don't have any lower respiratory symptoms. Get the vaxx.

Pre vaccine, it took my wife a good 2 months to get to 90% of before she got sick. The son of freinds of ours got married last week.

Cold symptoms are less today but the full body soreness and headache doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Slept 12 hours last night. I was obviously probably a little reckless in Detroit and could probably have better protected myself, but who knows the limits of the vaccine? Now I know that J&J only gets you so far, but at least I'm not in the hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 Feeling a lot better tonight. Soreness is gone, headaches are gone, actually had some energy to do some chores today. Little bit of congestion but nothing crazy. I appear to be through it.

drnkirishone Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 anyone here gotten the booster?
