Vaccine

Just don’t over-interpret. When someone says “pandemic phase is over“, don’t jump to the conclusion that covid disappeared. The worst phase ended, not the whole thing.

They are telling you that the profile of the epidemic is shifting. Old phase is over, new phase is starting. You will see fewer mass hospitalizations, but more low level cases all over the place.

Not that any of the above is news to you. We’ve all been acting on that assumption for a while. Most of us were ready to declare phase two back in October. A tad early, but generally correct.
Who jumped to the conclusion that Covid disappeared? Everyone knows that there are still cases and a few hospitalizations He was effectively saying that it was endemic, like the flu, which happens to be the reality. The administration didn't like that language so he had to retract the statement and call it a pandemic. They still want the big, bad term of "pandemic" so they have the big hammer to support continued mandates.

Go deeper bro but your getting warmer and I'm getting prouder of you. Where is the flu btw? I am all in with believing that health & wellness comes first over the jab and if your willing to walk away from meat and booze, you will be healthy and no need for a doctor. If you want to jab + booster instead of health, a ok with me and no judgement. Freedom is freedom. I might ask a Q or two but that's just to get folks to think outside the health box. I already have had warnings from folks in PMs that tell me I better watch out and I better STFU or else. Again wat fly, getting fired from bosses like GG is happening everywhere. People lost their business and are now homeless. People are being shut out of life all because of saying no to what is really the seasonal flu shot. Where did the flu go bro? I want you to get off that fence, grab a shovel and get down that rabbit hole for a looksee asap. I smell something rotten and money is the game of thrones. Our lives mean nothing to those pulling the strings and they just want our blood and our time and our kids.
 
Just one more example of people wanting to turn complex problems into simple yes/no questions.

I don‘t think anyone paying attention actually thought Fauci meant covid is 100% gone. They just had to clarify it because idiots on forums like this were going to deliberately misinterpret it.

Then, just like clockwork, the idiots here try to misinterpet the clarification. Stupid is as stupid does, I guess.
So, this forum needs more name-calling? For someone who likes to constantly assert your moral and intellectual superiority, you sure are sensitive. Do you realize it comes off as insecurity?

Musk breaks silence on Biden disinformation board formation after Twitter buyout: 'Discomforting'
The disinformation board has been widely slammed by conservatives on Twitter
 
Biden says students are like teachers' children when in classroom
Biden says of students, 'They're all our children'

"They’re not someone else’s children, they’re our children," Biden said. "And they are the kite strings that literally lift our national ambitions aloft."

"You have heard me say it many times about our children, but it is true. They’re all our children. And the reason you are the teachers of the year is because you recognize that," Biden said. "They’re not somebody else’s children. They’re like yours when they’re in the classroom."

“Have seen fewer” and will continue to….NO ONE ever said the “end of the pandemic” = “Covid is gone”, that was your interpretation of what was said by the poster, not what he said.

The collective moderate group of posters have ALWAYS said that Covid will be around for a very long time as it is a flu like virus, just like H1N1 and Swine Flu. Still circulating just not having the same detrimental impact as it did in its “novel” stage.

But it’s just like Fauci to change his story based on the political pressure or agenda he is following. The list of examples is too long to type out (or care to type out).

Did someone say name-calling!

He is a sterling example of someone who can dish it out but can't take it. Wasn't it just a few pages back he was riding high on his hobby horse lecturing others regarding name-calling.

Remember, they always accuse others of what they themselves do.

I know someone that started a group home schooling kind of business. It's a hybrid model that I really like. Kid does school work at home and then meets with a real certified teacher with a masters degree and other kids in the area a few times a week to do group learning.

My brother had his son do something similar to this last year in Boise when the schools were remote to start . He had a son who was starting kindergarten, so wasn’t going have his 5 year old learn on a laptop

It's quite interesting for academia types to push back on words that mean something and accuse others of panic, knee jerk reacton etc. Endemic means something, pandemic means something. Endemic happened, some would argue, sooner than OCT. But that's like argueing tomato tomato.

Pandemic is scarier, pharma loves it, so do government types. It's like if you read an MRI without having your doctor present. Scary words that may just mean minor inflammation or fluid buildup. Scary stuff. Having "pandemic" in your brain makes you want to protect your family. Government and Pharma are super good at this kind of stuff. It's either create panic or create a safe, soft, furry world. In this case, they are going for panic. Pandemonumum, panic, variants, etc....
 
It is hard to believe the amount of time people have been spending on this thread. Has one person's mind been changed?
I got a few PMs thanking me for helping them see things they didn't see before. I know one dad that stopped after the second jab and he said the meme's I used and articles I posted about whatt their putting in the shot helped him say, "no more jabs." Another dad told me I inspired them for sticking for my freedom and willing to lose it all to protect my blood in my veins. Ain't no one putting nothing in my blodd cheer 4 kids. Never!!! I have very good friend that is a Dr. and knows way more then anyone on here. He and my wife told me to quit eating meat and no booze a few years ago. I did that right before the Rona came to our shores. We need to help the kids is why I come on here. Now their trying to jab and boost 6 month our babies. Life the last two years has been hard and so much disinformation and cheating going on. This Vaccine Thread has helped me understand the jab better. OC is 71.1% fully jabbed btw.
 
And on the other front...Ukraine.

Some observations.

- It was assumed the Russians would roll through Ukraine in a matter of days.

They of course have not.

- Russian equipment is not as good as was thought. In large part the country relies on a few major contractors all of which are corrupt. In the US we have a variety of manufacturers responsible for producing planes. In Russia basically all planes are produced by one company. There is no competition, oversight, etc.

The failure rate of missiles in Ukraine has been shockingly high.

Etc etc.

That said they have enough munitions to blanket bomb/level cities.

- Russian logistics are terrible
- Russian on the ground leadership is terrible. They still suffer from the fact they do not use NCO's in the fashion that the West does. By that it means allowing NCO's to make on the ground decisions as events unfold. Essentially their decision making is not nimble.
- Planning...which involves leadership has been poor. They way they have moved armor around has left them very vulnerable to Ukrainian defenses. The Russians have not used infantry properly to help protect armor.
- Maybe most surprising is how with all their planes, Russia still does not posses air superiority over the Ukrainians.
- The bulk of their forces are made up of poorly trained conscripts. They serve 12 months. That is enough to get some basic training in, but not enough to match the professionalism of lets say US troops who have longer terms/more training. The lack of training is very apparent in terms of how badly the Russians have done in Ukraine.

All in all it has been rather eye opening in terms of how badly they have performed since the invasion.
Another interesting point is that the Ukraine reset their military after 2014 (legacy soviet) and brought in foreign (read Nato) personnel to train & reorg. They now operate much closer to how a Nato force does from a leadership and command (including delegated) perspective. Everything has aligned for them, including the Russian incompetence.
 
"In a preliminary analysis of lab tests collected during the Omicron wave, Moderna says its vaccine efficacy against infection was 51% among children younger than 2 and 37% among children from 2 to 5 years old. These efficacy estimates are similar to vaccine efficacy estimates in adults against Omicron after two doses," the company said in a statement."

Hmm, I don't recall it being it being publicized that the efficacy for adults is only in the 37%-51% range (or less).

Just FYI, only 28% of those 5-11 have had at least one vaccine shot. I suspected that there wouldn't be significant demand for child vaccinations. That is clearly the case.

Unless one is completely uninformed, there is no need to rush and get kids vaxxed. They have essentially zero risk.

The data is out there...and yet we see parents concerned about when they can get kids vaxxed.
