I believe the vaccine still prevents all illness more than 50% of the time (Omicron excluded, it's a different animal) and prevents serious illness more than 80% of the time.

Palm, if we are in a room with the infected, you have a 50% higher chance of contracting the virus than I do. That's kinda the point of vaccines.

-------------------------
I was right.

cole and johnnyboy no disrespect but you are both incorrect

Nope, not in the least.

The vaccine, booster included, is a far more effective than doing nothing at all. It's not even open for debate. Delta was the killer of the unvaxxed. That data doesn't lie either.

Except that the highest transmission rates, hospitalization rates, and death rates are among unvaccinated people... Likely because it isn't enough. I have an employee that got alpha and delta. He and his wife got covid pneumonia the second time around. They both spent a few weeks in the hospital.

Interesting that Florida's death rates are below heavily restricted New Jersey and New York?

Additionally, when you factor in age and comorbidities, the vast majority of deaths are in the elderly, the obese, and the diabetics... not that any of these deaths are not tragic, but these facts need to be considered...

Puerto Rico was outstanding for limiting covid spread. That recent big event was a big setback.

Deaths per 100,000 for the entire pandemic:

Hawai'i 6,441

Puerto Rico 6,872

Texas 15,334

New York (state) 15,439

California 13,259

Florida 17,597

Wyoming, 19,681. Idiots

North Dakota (worst) 22,312.

Infections are exploding in Florida. Rates vary wildly around the state. Miami is, for now, by far the worst. (afternoon report in Orlando Sentinel) My early Jan. trip to Outer Banks is looking doubtful. Had found cheap flights. Maybe drive?

NYC area was flooded with covid before the US even acknowledged there was covid. I have a friend that's a pulmonologist in northern NJ and March-Sept last year was hell working through all the people that flooded the hospital that were infected before any restrictions went into effect. A more valid comparison is NY/NJ vs. FL in 2021. Check the list of conservative radio hosts and preachers that have died. They weren't exactly knocking on heaven's door before covid. Do you know how you protect the vulnerable populations though? You get everybody around them vaccinated. A lot of the vulnerable population are people for whom vaccines don't work. The vaccine gave me a raging fever. I bet I have antibody levels that are ridiculous. My 82 year old Dad with Parkinson's disease felt nothing. Guess what. He is vaccinated but I bet he is still pretty damned vulnerable whereas I probably have almost zero chance of even noticing if I get a "breakthrough" infection. Those are the people we protect by not being selfish twats. Check with Dingpatch. The fight he's put in? I don't think he wants to go out gasping and wheezing because the young bucks keep bringing the vid to him. Back to surfing related any sandbars without a trough around these days?

Brevard Surf Report

Let me be the first to say : Merry Christmas every last one of you ignorant mofos!

does anyone actually know how the immune system or works or are we just parroting shit that we hear on tv... question directed to both libtards and foxnews guys

The immune system is wildly complex. For those interested, a professional explainer (not a medical person or biologist) did a much-praised book, "Immune: A Journey into the Mysterious System That Keeps You Alive". It has chapters like "The Murder University of the Thymus." What happens to the students who fail? They get eaten up.

The Delta outbreak of the coronavirus was very bad for Florida, the main reason why it scores well above average for deaths. The current outbreak is looking like Delta, but faster. It doesn't seem to have hit anywhere on the Atlantic coast from Martin County north. In fact, from Martin and Lee counties north to about Savannah and Pensacola is looking fine, with the Orlando area and Tampa not quite so good. One of the experts to trust is Dr Peter Hotez, dean for the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor University in Houston. The school is a busy developer of vaccines, mostly for tropical diseases that don't affect us much. A recent one is hookworms, which once were a plague of the American South. He is an enthusiastic backer of the covid vaccines.

Feliz Festivus! is this the Airing of the Grievances -thread?

Cole and Johnny, appreciate the response, but please back up your statements with proof. There is zero evidence that there is a 50% lower chance of getting infected if you've been jabbed. And how long has it been since you received last jab? Basically ineffective after 6 months. To be considered a vaccine you have to convey immunity for at least 12 months, can anybody give an example of another vaccine that you give every six months?

Who plans on getting this every six months the rest of their life? If you have that evidence please post it I would love to see it. It's interesting that the FDA has petitioned that all vaccine data be sealed from the freedom of information act for 55 to 75 years ???

https://www.newsmax.com/health/health-news/fda-vaccinedata-pfizer-75-years/2021/12/08/id/1047876/

And here is a huge news bulletin, Big Pharma loves to use Relative Risk Reductions as opposed to Absolute Risk Reduction as it makes it very easy to manipulate the data. The ARR for vaxxed is less than 1%, pretty pathetic and most educated doctors would not prescribe or recommend a product with such a benign risk reduction.

Next let's talk about asymptotic spread, there is zero evidence of this.

https://www.aier.org/article/asymptomatic-spread-revisited/

Finally Cole, better than doing nothing, there is plenty to do instead of nothing. Approximately 80% of the deaths have been in the obese and diabetic, so diet and exercise helps. Not to mention the available therapies that do have much clinical evidence to back their utilization, however they have been purposely demonized and suppressed as they are generic and no profit motive for the powers that be. For example the largest state in India is now Covid free thanks to a molecule marketed by Merck for HUMANS and awarded a Nobel Prize.

So this is my point about the original thread, a 100% vaccinated Navy Ship is riddled with COVID, again DOES NOT prevent transmission, that's my point, so why have a different set of rules for those that chose to do every 6 month jab vs those that do not.

Went to PR last Spring, did the PCR test as they requested within 72 hours and everything was fine. Completely agree PCR test and symptom free should be a requirement, but the 2 sets of rules, with A quarantine, without the science to justify pisses me off, as was hoping to return to PR this Spring

WW, Thank you for letting us know what PR's current protocols are. Nothing we can do to change their irrational policies, but certainly we can direct our dollars where we see fit.

Latest Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation briefing for the US. Not all is applicable to Florida. We had our big wave of deaths in late summer and early fall, peaking Sept. 1. Probably won't have stuffed hospitals (as their models estimate).

IHME remains enthusiastically in favor of vaccines and masking.

The article states, " The number of crew testing positive was not disclosed. The ship has a crew of a little more than 100."

This is hardly evidence that the vaccines don't reduce transmission rates.

Were all crew members really "fully vaccinated"? The mandate wasn't in effect until Nov 29th. It requires over 6 months to fully vaccinate.

Also note that none of those infected required any medical attention. That's a big tax and efficiency savings for the military, sound health and economic policy.

Women are incapable of intelligent and rational thought?

Wow, this just keeps getting better and better. lol

-------------------------
I was right.

I chartered 2 doctors last week. Both around 70 and vaccinated. Both told me if ur under 65 and remotely healthy that you don't need to get the jab. One doc told me he takes and prescribes ivermectin. They said Pfizer is about to drop their version of it which is the exact same thing, it's just going to cost an arm and a leg. Both docs agreed that anyone jabbed or unjabbed can just as easily contact and spread covid. Both docs agreed the only benefit is that the symptoms appear to be milder for some jabbed folks. Both docs agreed same rules should apply for jabbed and unjabbed. My personal thought is that the person with milder symptoms would be most likely to be the super spreader as they wouldn't know they're positive. Common sense kinda tells us that. Ive had 6 different people in the past week (all vaxinated) reach out to tell me they had covid when they were around me and they didn't know it. I had it 6 months ago, so my antibodies are probably what didn't let me get it again. I don't know any unjabbed people who have this current variant. Seems like its effecting the jabbed more for some reason. Let me end by saying that although I'm unjabbed, I'm pro-jab, ant-mandate, so this ain't an anti-vaxxer rant.

There are many types of 'doctors' out there. I would not def be listening to advice from any doctor who's specialty was not immunology etc, and is not current and up to date with the nuances of new developments - like cove or it's variants.. Retired doctors are prob not really up to date, especially if it's not in their field of specialty..

Unfortunately many doctors also have ego's, and along with that some think & act like 'know it alls' - they are all definitely not infallable..

Would anyone in their right mind want a random 'doctor' performing heart surgery on them..

As an registered structural engineer I would not trust an electirical PE designing any structure, or vice versa - especially if my life depended on it... That's why lots of them 'stay in their lane' - or risk getting their licences revoked.. Same rules apply for doctors...

The CDC is made up of a group of doctors who specialize in these areas and types of diseases. This is their specialty.. They arrive at a decisions by consensious - and update their recommendations as time goes by based on recent data updates.. They are not 'gods' either..

Everyone is listening to who they want to - and obviously no one here is going to change your mind..

I encountered this thought process while trying to attend a Kitchen and Bath Show in ORLANDO last week. People walking in maskless with a vaccine card. But anyone else had to provide a negative test within 48 hours, or take an onsite rapid test. Needless to say, we turned around and left.

I have to admit, reading this thread has activated one of my pet peeves. I don't care if you get vaccinated; do what you want at this point. But since when do a bunch of Americans call them "jabs" like they just stumbled out of a grimy pub in Liverpool? Has something on the deep dark corners of the dark web activated your inner Scouse and Mancunian longings for the "old sod?" I've been noticing this trend and while I know it likely comes from all that propaganda thrown around, its widespread adoption is a bit puzzling. Especially with all the anti-European sentiment that typically accompanies it.

I see it when I listen to people talk about sports. They hear things on tv and then they repeat what they heard verbatim. "tom brady goat." "steph curry best shooter".

The balls on these people. Yet they can't name more than 2 defensive schemes, but have the balls to say egregious things such as a certain player sucks. Athletes, when they hear that type of stuff, they roll their eyes. what is beautiful is people do the same thing from what they hear on the news. it's actual a feat of social engineering, and it's pretty amazing. I give credit to those upstairs, well done. You have created a group of people so arrogant that instead of actually starting with the fundamentals, you skip right up to the cliff notes and are now an expert. if you are parroting things you hear on tv and have little to no understanding of the fundamentals of molecular biology, you are waving a big flag that says, "i am completely uneducated on the topic but am arrogant enough to spout on about something i truly don't understand. I repeat things i see on tv and take them as gospel because I cannot admit to myself and those around me that I am truly ignorant. It is easier to repeat things on TV and team up with a group/feel safe, than to educate myself."

I'm pretty smart and I can read. Do I understand the intricacies of the medical jargon? Nope, that's not my field. Can I understand the parsed down version when it's converted to layman's terms? Of course.

I read the history of mRNA research, then the breakdown of the vaccine and decided through a personal risk assessment that the vaccine was a right choice for me and my family. I also read the study out of Australia on zinc and it's effectiveness with blocking the virus from duplicating and that is where hydroxychloroquine came in. It allows the zinc to get into the cells and stave off duplication. I do find it funny that there is all this talk of hydroxy and no mention of zinc, the thing that actually makes it work.

And that the studies were in vitro. In vivo there isn't a good way to get relevant concentrations into the cells without some serious toxicology issues. Then we've got guys that think that you can do a few pushups and get some sun and you're good to go. Fuck, worst flu I ever had was when I was in the absolute peak of fitness. We are talking just short of olympic standard times in middle distance endurance racing and competing internationally in long distance. I was outside every damn day for multiple workouts per day, worked outside, etc... Super healthy diet and lots of sun. But these guys probably think you can detox and do all other manner of cranky pseudoscientific alternative medicine to prevent and cure cancer etc... I'm middle aged now and still in great shape with excellent lipid profile, perfect blood pressure, low resting HR, and an still run a 5k in a smidge under 20 minutes even though I am in the Clydesdale class due to the upper body mass needed for my primary sport. Guess what, I'm still not fucking around and pretending that some kind of exercise or multivitamin is going to prevent TB, Polio, Measles, Covid, etc... Vaccines prime your immune system.

Hxy no longer under patent protection as it is generic, and thus the majority of the manufacturing is done by generic drug companies.

You most likely are confusing molecules with Ivermectin, which Merck did market for HUMANS, however that is also generic and most manufacturing done by generic drug companies as well.

Cole, you're probably smart enough to realize that the purpose for the demonization of cheap generic therapies that work is to pave way for PATENTED new therapies with very flimsy clinical data.

Incredible how Merck rejected the idea of using Ivermectin, as it again has no patent protection, and they magically developed a NEW antiviral with patent protection, A very questionable and weak study, and a poor safety profile.

Guess other countries are realizing that the Covid shot doesn't actually....do .........what the FDA/CDC/WHO says it would do............

Waiting for waves is ok......most people spend their lives waiting for nothing.

actions speak louder than words

And on that note, this thread only got bumped to purgatory, not all the way down to NSR. Actions. Words....

add a signature since I'm here in profile anyway

While I don't disagree with that, PR isn't a different country.

Just got back on the 30th. Masks are required at all restaurants and any retail store. Some sit-down restaurants required vax card and ID as they were getting $500 fines. Going back next month and it looks like they've relaxed entry requirement. Flying in/out of Ramey/BQN.

As of February 2nd, vaccinated travelers are no longer required to present a negative test.

Unvaccinated travelers entering on domestic flights are still required to show negative test results from the last two days or take one within 48 hours of arrival and must quarantine while awaiting results. Once they have a negative test, they can stop quarantining immediately.

If a traveler is unvaccinated and does not get tested within the 48-hour window, they are required to quarantine for 7 days and be subject to applicable sanctions.

Preciata ya!
