I know we like to have satire because life is too short to be serious all the time, but I just heard a super super sad story bro about a perfectly healthy person dying after her 2nd does of the BG DBL Shot Bat Virus. People are dying for injecting it. I would not take it but I understand everyone wants to get back to normal and obey Dr F and his crew. My wife and I already see the writing on the wall in California. Today, no mask=no service. Tomorrow it will be No Vaccine=No service, no way to work, no way for Thai. Thank God my kids are adults. I'm done telling them how to live their life. Looks like the Mountains far away and live off the land. Sad times but lessons are always learned the hard way. I pray all goes well for everyone who wants or feels they have to inject themselves with a man made vaccine because of the Rona made from the man. Use your brain........

I respect your decision not to get the vaccine. I point it out only because I know you from the board. My choice has zero to do with my opinion of Fauci or anyone really. I feel confident that the vaccine will save many, many more lives than it takes. We'll see. Also, I wouldn't worry too much about being denied service due to not taking the vaccine. There are many health care workers who feel the same way you do, haven't gotten vaccinated when eligible, and are still working. Keep in mind, not getting vaccinated is skewing toward minorities, and I just don't see CA enacting any policies that inordinately restrict minorities.
Better times are ahead Crush, maybe just around the corner.
I love the positive vibe Kicking and screaming over in Nocal. I also appreciate the support. I wish everyone had your attitude. I hope I will be loved for being anti vaxer dude. I dont know, I wear my mask below my nose and people go nuts.

New COVID-19 treatment ‘showing it gets rid of virus completely’ in trials: Dr. Siegel
Dr. Marc Siegel says a new experimental pill developed to treat COVID-19 could be the “holy grail of therapeutics” used against the virus. First-stage testing of Molnupiravir, developed by Merck and Ridgeback Biotherapeutics, showed promising signs of effectiveness in reducing the virus in patients.www.foxnews.com

I regularly complain about divisiveness, so it is incumbent on me to do a better job of understanding and accepting those with diiferent perspectives.

Got my first shot of Pfizer this morning after qualifying for it as of Friday. Part two in 4 weeks. I'm looking forward to a breakfast of pancakes and margaritas with my MIL soon. Oh yeah, I guess it will be nice for her to see her only grandchild for the first time in over a year as well.

Some stats on reactions to the Vaccines (Moderna and Pfizer). I like my odds of getting the vaccine vs. not. Beyond my odds, I'm also less likely to pass it on to someone else. That was an important factor for me as well.

The analysis used data from the first month of vaccinations, between Dec. 14 and Jan. 13., when there were more than 13.7 million doses administered.
The CDC said there were 6,994 reports of so-called adverse events after vaccination, including 6,354 that were classified as “non-serious” and 640 as “serious,” which included 113 deaths. The median age of vaccine recipients was 42, according to the VAERS data, and the majority of adverse events occurred in women.
There were 46 reports of anaphylaxis, a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction, from those who received Pfizer’s vaccine and 16 cases for those who received Moderna’s, according to the CDC. The agency said the occurrence of the reaction is in the range of those reported for the influenza vaccine.
****
Of the 113 deaths, 2/3 were from long term facilities
(113 deaths) / (13.7 million doses) = 0.000825% (about 1 in 121,000)
(640 Serious) / (13.7 million doses) = 0.00467% (about 1 in 21,400)
CDC says these are the most common side effects people report after getting Covid vaccine
The CDC published new data listing the most common side effects Americans reported after receiving shots of Pfizer's or Moderna's Covid-19 vaccines.

To each his own. I swear I won't share what I know anymore. My wife and I want to live in peace. I'm ok with anyone preaching the importance of the double shot of the vaccine. I will only share that it would be better and best to quit eating red meat, gmo fake food, alcohol and focus on veggies, fruits, nuts and healthy exercise and thee most important all all of this? Lots of sex!!! I'm living a dream fantasy all in one and it's all real. It's the only way to live in the future on this planet.

I think I'll take the vaccine and stick with the red meat and alcohol - in moderation, of course. Maybe that gets me to "even"?
.Also, I am not a fan of forcing people to do things. I will always support a family's decision regarding the vaccine as a much smaller risk to society than that of allowing our government the power to force people to take it.

These two things are very positive in terms of future deaths in the US.
1) We are over two weeks from 55% of seniors getting at least the first shot (3/5/2021).

2) The study in Israel indicated that once half the elderly population reached two weeks from their first shot, the rise among the elderly halted
www.timesofisrael.com
“It’s very clear that at the precise point when the variant (British variant) would have been expected to spread widely among the elderly, given this is what happened in the under-60 age group, vaccines kicked in for many of the most vulnerable,” said Prof. Dan Yamin, head of Tel Aviv University’s Laboratory for Epidemic Modeling and Analysis, one of the authors of the study.
He explained: “Until January 14 we could see there was a very clear trend of rising incidence of the British variant across all age groups. But as half of the elderly population reached two weeks after their first dose, its rise among the elderly halted — but it continued among others.”

My wife and I always believe in free choice. Honesty is the key. I have great friend who is 100 lbs over weight. Drinks way too much booze and sleeps with one of those machines every night so he doesn't stop breathing. He went off on me yesterday for not being responsible and willing to do my part and take the double shot. I told him if I was living the way you live I would take the shots.I think I'll take the vaccine and stick with the red meat and alcohol - in moderation, of course. Maybe that gets me to "even"?

Take a look at these two graphs. Deaths peaked (last peak) in January, almost exactly 3 weeks after cases. Cases flattened on Feb 21. We are now over 6 weeks into a rather constant daily number of cases, but deaths continue to drop preciptously. Looks to me like the vaccine is doing it's job.

As you vaccinate the at risk group(s), covid becomes less and less of a problem.
AZ has about 33% vaccinated at this point. 2.3 million have received at least 1 shot. Almost a million people 65 and over (the at risk group) have had at least one shot.
And here is another graph showing age groups. You will see a high percentage of people over 65 have been vaccinated.
Remember 75% of deaths in AZ are those 65 and over. And as of now about 75% have had at least 1 shot.

Have to say I'm pleasantly surprised...not that he hasn't moved goalposts before. To his credit he has been moving the goalposts closer (under intense pressure) the last couple months. Curious to see how the teachers unions handle this in September.
