Coronavirus/COVID-19, Thread 3 (Omicron & Delta Variants)

Second I think he tries to take credit for breaking the KG trade when it was Celtic Thug.

I don't think ddb tried to take credit for breaking the KG trade, but I could be wrong.

I'm pretty sure the poster who broke the KG trade was Al Jefferson's webmaster (can't recall his screenname). Celtic Thug was just a clown who, coincidentally, tried to pass as an insider.

Kingly. Big Al's uncle, I believe. He confirmed it, if he didn't break it.

Celtic Thug had intelligence I believe, but exaggerated what he knew. On draft night, IIRC he broke that the #5 pick was going to be Jeff Green and he would be traded for KG. It was Ray instead.

I will stand corrected. For some reason thought it was CT but it was so long ago. I have no issues saying I got it wrong and giving credit where due. Is it too much to ask for Brad and Zarren to start posting on this board with every rumor? Funny thing is they could legit post about things that are brewing but when they don’t happen the board will attack them as fake lol

I answered the second question a few posts again.

“Debate Is Over: COVID Vax Doubled Protection for the Previously Infected” | MedPage Today

Ok doc, one question:

I have zero vax. fears personally, I got two jabs. But I try to. empathize with people who. are nervous, especially about mRNA. Like, the. history of vaccines is pretty good, side effects show up quick and bad batches get caught quickly. There was just one. in Japan where. there. were (harmless) stainless steel fragments, I think, in the mix. Excep* I do remember like, thalidomide - the wonder drug becomes the dangerous one.

It seems like, as much as we understand the enormous systemic complexity of the human body at the genetic and cellular and proteomic level at all, we have some grasp of how mRNA works, the concept of an mRNA vax was theorized and experimented with for years, there were trials I assume in mice etc. And "the vax changes your DNA" is nonsense like the micro-chip stuff. BUT: is there *any* chance that. providing alien instructions by mRNA to manufacture spike proteins could disrupt biological processes in some unexpected, unpredicted way that could manifest long-term? Like, rates of lung cancer .2 percent higher in people who. got the Pfizer over three decades?

I highly highly highly highly doubt it - bur WTF knows in 3 decades.

Thanks ex, although "God only knows" doesn't totally line up with "highly highly highly highly doubt"

It occurred to me that if they've done mRNA vax trials on mice they probably don't keep them around to old age to watch for emergent side effects...? It seems very unlikely, I agree, and it would likely be nothing. more. than a. very small e effect. but we could use like a Carl Sagan of mRNA to explain how much we know about the biological process and how definitively we know. Dr. Phil won't cut it.

I do know the mRNA leaves. the body very quickly, and there doesn't. seem to be any reason to think that "hijacking"/borrowing immune cells. to. crank. out. spike protein. would. like, destabilize. them to increase the likelihood of cancerous mutation or autoimmune disorders...

Tried. to sell a friend of mine on getting vaccinated, told him if. I convince him and we. all. have. ears. on our foreheads in ten months. I'll feel really bad

I don’t know about you, Andy, but after 3 Pfizers, I have already grown a spare phallus. That would constitute an as yet unpublicized bonus in my view - if the original phallus becomes more dysfunctional with age.

You’d think “vaccine makes your balls bigger” would go in the pro column for people

Andy, points of medical order for you:
1. The size of normal testicles = balls is predominantly dependent on the volume of your seminiferous tubules (where sperm is produced - under the influence of testosterone & other hormones/factors).
2. The Leydig cells in your testicles which produce testosterone (under the influence of LH = luteinizing hormone produced by the pituitary gland) take up minimal space in the testicle.
3. Testicles ‘may appear to be’ enlarged consequent to the development of a varicocele (analogous to a varicose [engorged/swollen] vein usually on the lower legs), & testicles may truly be enlarged consequent to testicular tumors & other entities.
4. Your phallus is your actual penis/cock/dick.

I appreciate the technical elaboration in 1-3 but no need to mansplain all the words for penis, I was just riffing on the Nicki Minaj thing.

I am sorry then for #4, Andy.

My only excuse is that I do not know who Nicki Minaj is & IDNGAF what she said.

But, out of curiosity, but what did she say? LOL.

Enjoy the weekend everyone.

Project Veritas? Are you **** kidding? How many times does James O'Keefe have to get caught manipulating videos and/or outright lying before you fruit loops stop posting his bull?

So why are you sharing it? We need certainties, not more confusion. PEOPLE ARE DYING BECAUSE OF THE CONFUSION YOU'RE HELPING TO PROMOTE.

Why are you sharing it then? You and all the anti vax people love to bitch about how all the mainstream media shares is misinformation, yet you’re going to share trash like project veritas? Get the hell out of here with your hypocritical bull****.

At this point I don’t know what holds less weight,
your covid ****, or when you pretend to still have actual inside information.

There is a prison in Texas hit hard by delta variant. Much like a cruise ship, this is a trapped high risk population with limited ability to socially distance. The numbers are enlightening. This occurred over a just a 2 month period this summer. This risk BTW likely will exist for the next 2-3 years sadly if not indefinitely as new variants continue to emerge.

185 prisoners vaccinated.(80%)
42 unvaccinated. (20%)

74% of prisoners got Covid. 92% (39/42) of unvaccinated compared to 69% vaccinated (129/185)

4 prisoners got hospitalized, all unvaccinated. 10% of unvaccinated hospitalized. 0% of vaccinated hospitalized.

1 person died. 2.3% mortality in unvaccinated. 0% mortality due to Covid in vaccinated.

The most important statistic is that 10% of the unvaccinated population got hospitalized. The cost of this unnecessary burden to our society is enormous and is breaking emergency departments across the country and bankrupting a system was already too expensive to maintain when the economy was in great shape and people were fully employed.

I don’t know if unvaccinated prisoners were younger and healthier with less comorbidities but they usually are. 79% vaccinated is a really high % and the fact that a trapped population can still suffer such an outbreak is frustrating. Nursing homes with closer to 100% rates are faring much better. Right now delta variant mortality is 13% less than it was for people over 80 and sadly is 10% higher for people in my age group (45-55) which is definitley due to differences in vaccination rates.
