Vaccine

I see (yet) again you ducked the Australia/NZ question. Taking it assertion by assertion:

Yes the record is pretty clear

What do you mean by "targeted closures"? You mean lockdowns? I point you to Europe, which you yourself complained about the reopenings/closings. Do you mean just indoor dining/gyms/bars/theaters? If so, nope, because Los Angeles already proved that (don't you remember....you screamed new variant). What do you mean "almost nothing"? I think masking + indoor dining/gyms/bars/theaters but keeping work (take out, construction, processing, factories, weed shops, air travel, liquor stores, box stores) open might have saved us in the neighborhood of 5-20% (Los Angeles would have had that much worse of an experience).

Yes I agree we disagree over Delta I didn't think masked+vaccinated would stop it, if not for the simple reason that we'd eventually get a new variant and at that point (with everyone who wanted one vaxxed) there was no point to the exercise.

As to your final sentence, you just admitted once and for all you in fact believed COVID Zero was possible, which is ludicrous.

p.s. it's fun annotating you.
As I said. We disagree.
 
Kids just don't trust the idea of paying your dues. It's not that the concept is lost on them. It's that they see right through it.

Loyalty to a corporation isn't always repaid with loyalty. All those years of service don't necessarily mean squat if the company gets bought out and the cost cutters come in.
I don't see that. it has more to do with instant gratification.

No watty bro, they don;t want to be owned and controlled by a boss man that forces them to wear a mask and or enforce. I worked with teens for over 30 years. This generation is waking up. Two years ripped off already. My buddy does carpet repair and he has to do ALL the work now because he can;t find anyone to train. Everyone at his little company quit the last two years. People don;t want anyone in their house unless its ER situation like heart attack or someone clogged the toilet with a big doo doo and crap everywhere so they call the plumber or AC goes out. All people in the service industry have to wear a stupid mask and they hate it and feel like a freaking slave. Good luck finding people who will obey the mask BS this summer. My wife's friends dd has a big rash and infection from wearing dumb mask at the Doc office. She quit last week. I went to a vet today and I took this picture. All the office staff and the doctor all had mask and all have been jabbed. I walked in NO MASK and I am not jabbed. Crazy lies. Lady at the fron took mask off to talk to me and she had red rash, no joke. You and others think she's a hard worker for the doc and doing her fair share. Do you not see the problem?

Born 1947-Died 2022 ((75 years))

My mother would be so sad to see what happen to her favorite restaurant. She owned 6 homes in Laguna and one was right up the street from this amazing place. Her three sons by blood all got their first job at RH. Many of my pals from high school all had their first jobs at RH. I actually have a dear friend who learned how to be dish washer, a waiter, a cook and a manager at RH. He got so good, he went on to open his own place in town. He just closed down after 25 years in biz because of how HARD it is to run a biz these days. Rent is insane now. The new rules make it impossible to survive and the last 2 1/2 years is killing small biz and tasty eat places. Put a mask on it! All it takes is one Elitist who complains about live music noise and has buddies on the commission. Elites move into my town, destroy old cottage home and then build their palace and bark and chirp at those below them.
 
Reading through this series of posts the thing that popped into my head, having a recent high school graduate, was, you know what, "the kids are alright". Which put me in mind that I hadn't had a good dose of Kieth Moon drumming in a while. So, for those that might enjoy, Young Man Blues, circa 1970, seems appropriate.

Life being tough on young people is an ageless, universal reality.
 
The President of the United States of America needs are thoughts and prayers you guys. He also has cancer and asthma. I pray for you Mr. President. VP is getting to run the country now and might have to lead us now. I pray for the VP that she will have the strength & courage to help us in tough times.

I want to be the first on here to say I was wrong about President Biden. I think he was lied to as well and I feel so bad for him now. Looks like he got played. I also see how former President Trump was lied to and tricked and he also got played. Trick plays with all of our lives. You know what grace T, WE ALL GOT PLAYED. Please forgive me for getting emotional and saying things I should have kept in my head. I love you Grace T and I love Golden Gate as well ((I don't like how he came at me but I 100% forgive him)). I was also hard on Espola & Husker Du and all for my anger issues and all my mean meme's and just being all over the place, I want to say publicly to the both of them and Dad as well that I was harsh and took things too far. I forgive them as well for being mean to me. I LOVE YOU ALL, EVEN ALL THE COACHES AND DOCS WHO GOT PLAYED AS WELL. WE GOT PLAYED YOU GUYS 100%. Former President's Lincoln and Kennedy got killed so were all still here alive. This is going to get intense.

 
I have to go to work now you guys but I just saw this and don't have the time to verify. If all this is true, wow, what a trip!!!

Since Imperial’s Professor Danny Altmann claimed three weeks ago, based on a recent paper from his university, that Omicron does not provide natural immunity against reinfection, this claim has been repeated around the world and become an accepted part of the Covid narrative, frightening people into believing the pandemic may never be over. Professor Altmann wrote in the Guardian:

Rather than a wall of immunity arising from vaccinations and previous infections, we are seeing wave after wave of new cases and a rapidly growing burden of long-term disease…
Importantly, Omicron infection was a poor booster of immunity to further Omicron infections. It is a kind of stealth virus that gets in under the radar without doing too much to alert immune defense's. Even having had Omicron, we’re not well protected from further infections…
Contrary to the myth that we are sliding into a comfortable evolutionary relationship with a common-cold-like, friendly virus, this is more like being trapped on a rollercoaster in a horror film.
At the Daily Sceptic we pointed out that Professor Altmann’s interpretation of the paper’s findings was flawed and not in line with what it said or showed. The paper actually did show a robust immune response following Omicron infection.

Now, two new studies from Qatar provide real-world evidence of the power of natural immunity against Omicron.

The first study looked at all confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infections in Qatar from February 2020 to June 2022, comparing Covid incidence and severity among those with and without a previous infection (all in the study were unvaccinated). The pre-print study (not yet peer-reviewed) found that pre-Omicron Covid provided 85.5% protection (CI: 84.8-86.2%) against pre-Omicron reinfection, though waning to around 70% after about a year and a half. This is in line with earlier studies.

Against Omicron reinfection, a pre-Omicron infection provided 38.1% protection (CI: 36.3-39.8%), though declined with time possibly to negligible levels after a year and a half.

Importantly, pre-Omicron infection provided very high protection of 97.3% (CI: 94.9- 98.6%) against severe, critical, or fatal COVID-19 reinfection by both Omicron and pre-Omicron Covid, with no evidence of waning after 14 months. While Qatar’s population is younger than most, a very similar result of 95.4% protection was found for the over-50s, again with no evidence of waning. This suggests that Covid quickly becomes like a circulating cold after the population has had it once.

But what about Omicron reinfection after an initial Omicron infection – what protection does that provide? Professor Altmann claims the immune response following an Omicron infection is negligible and Omicron is a “stealth virus” that evades immunity and doesn’t protect against reinfection. However, the second study from Qatar shows this is not true at all.

The pre-print (not yet peer-reviewed) used a test-negative, case-control design to look at infections in Qatar between May 7th and July 4th 2022, with particular attention give to the period June 8th to July 4th when Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 dominated. It found that an initial Omicron infection against BA.4 and BA.5 reinfection provided 79.7% protection (CI: 74.3-83.9%), not far off the protection of pre-Omicron infection against pre-Omicron reinfection found in the first study (85.5%). The study also found that an initial pre-Omicron infection provided 28.3% protection (CI: 11.4-41.9%) against BA.4 or BA.5 reinfection, broadly in line with the first study (given the later time and newer variants).

Professor Altmann and others who claim Omicron infection does not provide immunity against reinfection are therefore spreading misinformation by exaggerating the threat from the virus and downplaying the prospects for population immunity and moving on from the pandemic.

The authors of the second study say there were too few serious cases to draw any conclusions about protection from severe disease and death. However, considering the 80% protection against reinfection, there is no reason to think the protection an Omicron infection provides against serious disease will not, as with pre-Omicron infection in the first study, be similarly robust and long lasting.
 
he is a tired old man who who didn't make the transition very well from hero to zero. Once the circus master left the WH he was left to manage the circus. hasn't done a very good job and has contributed minimally to day to day healthcare.

Like I said before, he shouldn't have been driving the bus. I was OK with him on the bus, but he wasn't qualified to drive it. The problem was compounded when the attention went to his head.

From the Birx and Atlas books the record seems quite clear that outside of the vaccines he wasn't really driving the bus. Sandra Bullock was driving the bus. He was Keanu...except unfortunately the Bill and Ted version that let's the fame go to his head. He thought himself part puppet master, part enforcer, and part celebrity.
 
Something to consider. Not sure what it all means, but it doesn't sound positive.


The spike protein is neurotoxic, and it impairs DNA repair mechanisms.


Suppression of type I interferon responses results in impaired innate immunity.


The mRNA vaccines potentially cause increased risk to infectious diseases and cancer.
Conclusion from study:
There has been an unwavering message about the safety and efficacy of mRNA vaccinations against SARS-CoV-2 from the public health apparatus in the US and around the globe. The efficacy is increasingly in doubt, as shown in a recent letter to the Lancet Regional Health by Günter Kampf (2021b). Kampf provided data showing that the vaccinated are now as likely as the unvaccinated to spread disease. He concluded: “It appears to be grossly negligent to ignore the vaccinated population as a possible and relevant source of transmission when deciding about public health control measures.” Moreover, the inadequacy of phase I, II, and III trials to evaluate mid-term and long-term side effects from mRNA genetic vaccines may have been misleading on their suppressive impact on the innate immunity of the vaccines.
