The vaccines are very safe and will probably end up saving over half a million American lives by the end of this.

Indeed, it truly works both ways.

This is going to be my last post in this thread (and maybe on this forum) for a while. I need a break from unnecessary arguing.

I'm going to put it in layman terms so even the lower-rung troglodytes can understand.

The vaccine entails a risk. We are aware. But if no one had gotten vaxxed then the freaking pandemic would've swept the world and left hundreds of millions dead (we're already at 5,384,060, a crazy-high number still).

The way I see it, people worldwide can be divided into four groups in terms of vaccination status:

1) Those in developing countries (or even developed countries) who don't have access to the vaccine;

2) Those who, for medical reasons, shouldn't get vaxxed;

3) Those of us who, in spite of the (minimal but true) risk that comes with the vaccine, have shown both that we have balls and care about each other, so we got vaxxed; and

4) People who are either idiotic and/or selfish and/or lack balls to take one for the team, instead leaving it to the rest of us to take the risk for them. A few of these specimens, the scum of the earth, can be found posting in this thread. They will resort to quoting any conspiracy theory out there if that helps cover for their idiocy, selfishness and lack of balls. You're relying on the very people you call sheeple to save your life by building the herd immunity for you. How weak is that? This pandemic will stay around for as long as you remain idiots, selfish and don't grow a pair.

See you guys in a while.

That’s 1.6 percent chance of dying from covid.

My age group 40-49 is only 3.9 percent of that 800k.

That’s 31200 deaths out of 51 million cases.

That’s strictly the numbers.

Make what you want out of it.


What I take out of it is that ~800k of our most vulnerable citizens have died in about 20 months, and that you don't care about that at all.

I don't need to know anything else about you to say that you are a bad human being based on that alone.



I’m just sharing data. Isn’t that part of science?

Got the booster. No side effects so far. Noticed my live streams are no longer buffering though. Just need to stay away from sharp, metallic objects.

Anyway, at the risk of being called a sheepie... every little thing each of us can do to help end this pandemic sooner rather than later, have some decency/compassion and please just do it. So many lives and livelihoods have been taken away already.

“When you get vaccinated, you not only protect your own health and that of the family but also you contribute to the community health by preventing the spread of the virus throughout the community. In other words, you become a dead end to the virus. And when there are a lot of dead ends around, the virus is not going to go anywhere. And that's when you get a point that you have a markedly diminished rate of infection in the community."

but mang really came on this website today to talk about AIDS

https://www.unz.com/announcement/rfk-jr-as-americas-1-hiv-aids-denier-and-the-sounds-of-media-silence/


the lion of the left RFKJR spent 200 pages of his best selling Fauch book basically saying that the mainstream narrative of the past 35 years on HIV/AIDS is a hoax. did yer jaw drop? mangs jaw dropped.

the AP put out a 4k word hit job on RFKJR's book... and wait for it... didn't spend a single sentence calling RFKJR an AIDS denier. why? that's just too juicy to leave out no? if u want to paint him as a conspiracy theorist loon surely that is THEE GO TO MOVE no?

Cave, you're wrong here. It's actually been much more already. Maybe Ex can chime in on this but it looks like the vaccines have estimated to have saved over 1 million Americans already.

The THERAPEUTIC GAME CHANGER - PFIZER’S PAXLOVID - will be available in limited amounts by NEXT WEEK for outpatients in the highest risk groups (including the elderly).

90% decrease in hospitalization or death when therapy is initiated within 5 days of symptom onset!

DOSING:
300 mg (two 150 mg tablets) of PAXLOVID (nirmatrelvir) with one 100 mg tablet of ritonavir, given twice daily for five days.



READ THESE 2 ARTICLES BY THE BRILLIANT ERIC TOPOL:

https://erictopol.substack.com/p/why-paxlovid-is-a-just-in-time-breakthrough

The availability of Paxlovid should not in any way diminish the vital need to get all individuals vaccinated and boosted. But people (MORONS) refusing to get vaccinated may consider a 5-day pill treatment as a further excuse to remain unvaccinated. That is yet another reason for the EUA to not stipulate vaccination as exclusionary. In fact, enhanced availability of Paxlovid to people who are vaccinated could be used as yet another incentive to promote more acceptance of vaccines. This is a critically important issue that needs to be addressed. Moreover, Paxlovid is not a primary prevention; unlike vaccination, it is an intervention for infections, a paramount message that needs to be duly emphasized.

And more good news (eventually).

Walter Reed military scientists test vaccine that could protect against Omicron
Scientists at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research spent nearly two years developing a COVID-19 vaccine that should protect against the new Omicron variant, plus all past and presumably future SARS-origin coronaviruses, Defense One reported Tuesday. The Spike Ferritin Nanoparticle (SpFN) vaccine showed promising results in animal trials and Phase 1 human trials that wrapped up this month; it still must undergo Phase 2 and Phase 3 human trials. "We decided to take a look at the long game rather than just only focusing on the original emergence of SARS, and instead understand that viruses mutate," said Dr. Kayvon Modjarrad, director of Walter Reed's infectious diseases branch. "Our platform and approach will equip people to be prepared for that."
