Some food for thought based on San Diego County covid deaths. My apologies to Dad4 for using survival rates.

My pal Dr Honest told me its A and B and forget about C.

So he is saying it seems likely a 3rd dose is needed for their vaccine.

After that? Yearly boosters.

What does all this mean? We will be living with covid for years to come. Kind of like the flu. At some point we need to realize that and say well let us live our lives and deal with it like we do the flu (stop playing safety theater).

Crazy right?

We ran around closing schools, worried about kids, shutting down biz, etc for what? The VAST VAST majority of people have no real risk.

It did happen to me, thank you very much.

That’s obvious.

 

[Hüsker Dü]

Not all in vain. Every so often, someone has a strong point and I learn something.

Just have to learn to filter out the Breitbart nonsense that is 90% of the posts.

Why Hüsker Dü? I haven't heard of them in years.

Cornhusker football got me there.

Is that from the trump’s troll brigade handbook?

The panic porn news industry fuels this...along with the CDC and other governing bodies.

We are looking at roughly 1 case per million doses. That is very safe. We wouldn't have Tylenol if we suspended it based on that standard.

What we do see and do is the following. If you are pregnant or have this condition or X condition do not take this medication (or check with your doctor). Why do they do that? Because no medicine/vaccine out there will not create some bad side affect with someone.

The difference is medicines/vaccines usually take years to get to the market. As such during testing they usually find out who should be careful, etc.

With the covid vax it was rushed out over the world (for good reason). We are now finding them to be VERY safe BUT certain people with certain conditions may be better of either A) not taking the vaccine or B) taking one of the other vaccines.

The press and CDC, etc are doing a disservice right now by highlighting extremely isolated cases AND talking about suspending certain vaxes.

This. You literally have a better chance being struck by lightning. The risk for the JnJ blood cot is less than 1 per million, I believe?

So bad football got you to a bad band. Makes sense now

a bad band.

It's like the flu shot you get every year. Or don't you?

Like the use of the term “fatal disease” to describe C19?

 

[Desert Hound]

You missed the point...

People think covid is going to just go away. It isn't.

We are going to be living with this.

So the question is how hard will certain people and/or the gov keep trying to impose restrictions. Facemasks here, covid passports there, restrict gatherings, have stupid rules, related to schools, etc. Because listening to many of the so called experts, they are already talking about life not going back to normal.

Yes they haven’t been good since they hired effing Callahan! But I am loyal and have been on them since ‘71.

Loyalty goes a long way. Nobody likes fair weather fans.

No, it was funny because I always use memes

Which people think that? People like you?

Are you using total infections or confirmed infections? Those mortality numbers look a little high.

The chart is a great example of why you don't look at survival rate. The age dependency is as plain as day in the mortality column. You barely notice it in the survival rate column.

 

[dad4]

Would you prefer "disease that has killed over half a million Americans"?

It is more accurate, but it's a lot to type.
