A mobile vaccination event in Georgia was reportedly shut down because anti-vax protesters were harassing workers

public health staff "have been harassed, yelled at, threatened and demeaned by some of the very members of the public they were trying to help."

In one county, protesters used social media to identify public health employees and

"[harangue] them with messages of hostility and misinformation about vaccines,"

A mobile event in north Georgia was canceled after

an "organized group" of anti-vaxxers arrived to bother and name-call those running the drive.

After losing in court, defiant DeSantis officials dock pay of school boards adopting mask mandates

Despite a state court ruling (https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2021/8/27/2048578/-Judge-rules-against-Florida-Man-DeSantis-in-important-mask-mandate-case) clearing the way for school mask mandates,

Florida education officials announced Monday they would

withhold funding from two school districts (https://miami.cbslocal.com/2021/08/31/florida-department-of-education-withholds-funds-in-broward-alachua-counties-for-mask-mandate/) that were among the first to adopt universal in-school masking: Alachua and Broward.

“The withholding of funds will continue monthly until each school board complies with state law and rule,’’ Florida Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran wrote (https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/education/article253866718.html) on Monday.

Endemic. Check
Vaccinate the old and sick. Check.
Vaccines help to reduce hospitalization/death. Check
No need to vax children. Check
No need for boosters as natural immunity boosters are more efficient and cheaper. Check. (Except for old and sick)


Id also add no need for vax passports as this is endemic vaxed or not :tu

hater still dont understand the timing thing, never will.
"But dammit we will get viruses!"
"You will be infected" but you may never know it...


This is not a fkn cold just because its a corona virus. Its symptoms are much worse on immunocompromised people.
Hospitals did not fill up because of a cold virus. Hospitals filled up because a large enough percentage of our unvaxxed population live together and decided it was ok to use their bodies as petri dishes for the rest of us, just to assure as many people around the unvaxxed and vaxed crowd cold get max dosage. Just say it.

This latest round WAS NOT INEVITABLE in its timing and stress on the medical community.
Dont pretend like it was because... "you will get infected"

Florida massaging the numbers to make things look somewhat better.


As cases ballooned in August, however, the Florida Department of Health changed the way it reported death data to the CDC, giving the appearance of a pandemic in decline, an analysis of Florida data by the Miami Herald and el Nuevo Herald found.

On Monday, Florida death data would have shown an average of 262 daily deaths reported to the CDC over the previous week had the health department used its former reporting system, the Herald analysis showed. Instead, the Monday update from Florida showed just 46 “new deaths” per day over the previous seven days.

It ain't all about hospitalization and death. Chronic, COVID-related disability still gets short shrift


When I first spoke with Akrami, last year, she was on day 76 of her symptoms. This year, I called her on day 526. She has improved enough to take “long” half-hour walks without crashing—in the gaps between monthly relapses that completely incapacitate her for a week. Many long-haulers partially recover after a few months, or learn to manage their symptoms. But some “first-wavers” are still dealing with cycles of serious illness. Through 2020’s spring, summer, and winter surges, Donald Trump’s departure and Joe Biden’s arrival, the vaccine rollout (https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2021/03/vaccines-long-covid/618406/) and Delta’s ascent, they’ve been struggling to work, concentrate, or exercise. Many have been told by medical professionals that they’re just having anxiety or making up their symptoms.https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2021/09/covid-19-long-haulers-pandemic-future/619941/

Huge trial on community masking in Bangladesh.

Surgical mask>cloth masks, but both seemed to reduce the incidence of symptomatic COVID-19.





Methods: We conducted a cluster-randomized trial of community-level mask promotion inrural Bangladesh from November 2020 to April 2021 (N=600 villages, N=342,126 adults).We cross-randomized mask promotion strategies at the village and household level, includingcloth vs. surgical masks. All intervention arms received free masks, information on the importance of masking, role modeling by community leaders, and in-person reminders for 8 weeks.The control group did not receive any interventions. Neither participants nor field staff wereblinded to intervention assignment. Outcomes included symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence (primary) and prevalence of proper mask-wearing, physical distancing, and symptomsconsistent with COVID-19 (secondary). Mask-wearing and physical distancing were assessedthrough direct observation at least weekly at mosques, markets, the main entrance roads tovillages, and tea stalls. At 5 and 9 weeks follow-up, we surveyed all reachable participantsabout COVID-related symptoms. Blood samples collected at 10-12 weeks of follow-up forsymptomatic individuals were analyzed for SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies.

Results: There were 178,288 individuals in the intervention group and 163,838 individualsin the control group. The intervention increased proper mask-wearing from 13.3% in controlvillages (N=806,547 observations) to 42.3% in treatment villages (N=797,715 observations)(adjusted percentage point difference = 0.29 [0.27, 0.31]). This tripling of mask usage was sustained during the intervention period and two weeks after. Physical distancing increased from24.1% in control villages to 29.2% in treatment villages (adjusted percentage point difference= 0.05 [0.04, 0.06]). After 5 months, the impact of the intervention faded, but mask-wearingremained 10 percentage points higher in the intervention group.The proportion of individuals with COVID-like symptoms was 7.62% (N=13,273) in theintervention arm and 8.62% (N=13,893) in the control arm. Blood samples were collectedfrom N=10,952 consenting, symptomatic individuals. Adjusting for baseline covariates, the2intervention reduced symptomatic seroprevalence by 9.3% (adjusted prevalence ratio (aPR) =0.91 [0.82, 1.00]; control prevalence 0.76%; treatment prevalence 0.68%). In villages randomized to surgical masks (n = 200), the relative reduction was 11.2% overall (aPR = 0.89 [0.78,1.00]) and 34.7% among individuals 60+ (aPR = 0.65 [0.46, 0.85]). No adverse events werereported.

Conclusions: Our intervention demonstrates a scalable and effective method to promote maskadoption and reduce symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections.https://www.poverty-action.org/sites/default/files/publications/Mask_RCT____Symptomatic_Seropositivity_083121.pdf

[Ef-man]

Interesting read that has value though some here will bloviate for the sake of bloviating on which "masks" the authors were writing about.

Massive randomized study is proof that surgical masks limit coronavirus spread, authors say.


The authors of a study based on an enormous randomized research project in Bangladesh say their results offer the best evidence yet that widespread wearing of surgical masks can limit the spread of the coronavirus in communities.

The preprint paper, which tracked more than 340,000 adults across 600 villages in rural Bangladesh, is by far the largest randomized study on the effectiveness of masks at limiting the spread of coronavirus infections.

Its authors say this provides conclusive, real-world evidence for what laboratory work and other research already strongly suggest: mask-wearing can have a significant impact on limiting the spread of symptomatic covid-19, the disease caused by the virus.

“I think this should basically end any scientific debate about whether masks can be effective in combating covid at the population level,” Jason Abaluck, an economist at Yale who helped lead the study, said in an interview, calling it a “a nail in the coffin” of the arguments against masks.

The researchers estimate that among a group of Bangladeshi adults in the study that were encouraged to wear masks, mask-wearing increased by 28.8 percent after the intervention. When tracked, this group saw a 9.3 percent reduction in symptomatic covid-19 seroprevalence, meaning the virus was confirmed by bloodwork, as well as a further 11.9 percent reduction in covid-19 symptoms.

The study’s authors — led by principal investigators Abaluck, Laura Kwong, Steve Luby, Mushfiq Mobarak and Ashley Styczynski — a globe-spanning team that includes researchers from Yale, Stanford and the Bangladeshi nonprofit GreenVoice, emphasized that this did not mean masks were only 9.3 percent effective.

“I think a big error would be to read this study and to say, ‘Oh, masks can only prevent 10 percent of symptomatic infections,’ ” Abaluck said. The number would probably be several times higher if masking were universal, he said.

The study is under peer review with the journal Science. The authors granted journalists an early look at the results because of their potential importance in global public health debates.

The booster-industrial complex






Late last month, researchers in Israel released some alarming new Covid-19 data (https://nl.nytimes.com/f/a/gQ1Ik3RHuC6k9b8fJcGECg~~/AAAAAQA~/RgRjDzVyP4QAAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LnRpbWVzb2Zpc3JhZWwuY2 9tL2lzcmFlbGktc3R1ZHktY2xhaW1zLW1ham9yLWRyb3AtaW4t dmFjY2luZS1wcm90ZWN0aW9uLWV4cGVydHMtZG9udC1iZWxpZX ZlLWl0Lz9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD05JmVtYz1lZGl0X25uXzIwMjEw ODMwJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTM5MTY2Jm5sPXRoZS1tb3JuaW5nJn JlZ2lfaWQ9ODA4MjE3OTcmc2VnbWVudF9pZD02NzYwMiZ0ZT0x JnVzZXJfaWQ9OTkyZDYwODIxNGI1MDUwMDNhYTA0YmYxMGE1OT UwMzFXA255dEIKYSZysCxhcRxK0FITZGFybm9jbmVsQGdtYWls LmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~). The data showed that many Israelis who had been among the first to receive the vaccine were nonetheless catching the Covid virus. Israelis who had been vaccinated later were not getting infected as often.





The study led to headlines around the world about waning immunity — the idea that vaccines lose their effectiveness over time. In the U.S., the Israeli study accelerated a debate about vaccine booster shots and played a role in the Biden administration’s recent recommendation (https://nl.nytimes.com/f/newsletter/aJxxVtB8fwMLOI3kXk4W4A~~/AAAAAQA~/RgRjDzVyP0TVaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS 8wOC8xNi91cy9wb2xpdGljcy9ib29zdGVyLXNob3RzLmh0bWw_ Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9OSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ubl8yMDIxMDgzMCZpbn N0YW5jZV9pZD0zOTE2NiZubD10aGUtbW9ybmluZyZyZWdpX2lk PTgwODIxNzk3JnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9Njc2MDImdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2 lkPTk5MmQ2MDgyMTRiNTA1MDAzYWEwNGJmMTBhNTk1MDMxVwNu eXRCCmEmcrAsYXEcStBSE2Rhcm5vY25lbEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBA AAAAA~) that all Americans receive a booster shot eight months after their second dose.





But the real story about waning immunity is more complex than the initial headlines suggested. Some scientists believe that the Israeli data was misleading and that U.S. policy on booster shots has gotten ahead of the facts. The evidence for waning immunity is murky, these scientists say, and booster shots may not have a big effect.





After returning from an August break last week, I have spent time reaching out to scientists to ask for their help in understanding the current, confusing stage of the pandemic. How worried should vaccinated people be about the Delta variant? How much risk do children face? Which parts of the Covid story are being overhyped, and which deserve more attention?





I will be trying to answer these questions in the coming weeks. (I’d also like to know what questions you want answered; submit them here (https://nl.nytimes.com/f/newsletter/w3WKxpv89dqUIf5xIPYDNA~~/AAAAAQA~/RgRjDzVyP0TdaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS 8wOC8zMC9icmllZmluZy9hc2steW91ci1jb3ZpZC1xdWVzdGlv bnMuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD05JmVtYz1lZGl0X25uXzIwMj EwODMwJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTM5MTY2Jm5sPXRoZS1tb3JuaW5n JnJlZ2lfaWQ9ODA4MjE3OTcmc2VnbWVudF9pZD02NzYwMiZ0ZT 0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9OTkyZDYwODIxNGI1MDUwMDNhYTA0YmYxMGE1 OTUwMzFXA255dEIKYSZysCxhcRxK0FITZGFybm9jbmVsQGdtYW lsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~).)





One of the main messages I’m hearing from the experts is that conventional wisdom about waning immunity is problematic. Yes, the immunity from the Covid vaccines will wane at some point. But it may not yet have waned in a meaningful way.





“There’s a big difference between needing another shot every six months versus every five years,” Dr. David Dowdy, an epidemiologist at Johns Hopkins University, told me. “So far, looking at the data we have, I’m not seeing much evidence that we’ve reached that point yet.”





Simpson strikes again






At first glance, the Israeli data seems straightforward: People who had been vaccinated in the winter were more likely to contract the virus this summer than people who had been vaccinated in the spring.





Yet it would truly be proof of waning immunity only if the two groups — the winter and spring vaccine recipients — were otherwise similar to each other. If not, the other differences between them might be the real reason for the gap in the Covid rates.





As it turns out, the two groups were different. The first Israelis to have received the vaccine tended to be more affluent and educated. By coincidence, these same groups later were among the first exposed to the Delta variant, perhaps because they were more likely to travel. Their higher infection rate may have stemmed from the new risks they were taking, not any change in their vaccine protection.





Statisticians have a name for this possibility — when topline statistics point to a false conclusion that disappears when you examine subgroups. It’s called Simpson’s Paradox (https://nl.nytimes.com/f/a/FBUwXxWj5Jd4y5Dns5vgGA~~/AAAAAQA~/RgRjDzVyP0TmaHR0cHM6Ly90b3dhcmRzZGF0YXNjaWVuY2UuY2 9tL3NpbXBzb25zLXBhcmFkb3gtYW5kLWludGVycHJldGluZy1k YXRhLTZhMDQ0MzUxNjc2NT9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD05JmVtYz1lZG l0X25uXzIwMjEwODMwJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTM5MTY2Jm5sPXRo ZS1tb3JuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9ODA4MjE3OTcmc2VnbWVudF9pZD 02NzYwMiZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9OTkyZDYwODIxNGI1MDUwMDNh YTA0YmYxMGE1OTUwMzFXA255dEIKYSZysCxhcRxK0FITZGFybm 9jbmVsQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~).





This paradox may also explain some of the U.S. data that the C.D.C. has cited to justify booster shots. Many Americans began to resume more indoor activities this spring. That more were getting Covid may reflect their newfound Covid exposure (as well as the arrival of Delta), rather than any waning of immunity over time.





‘Where is it?’






Sure enough, other data supports the notion that vaccine immunity is not waning much.





The ratio of positive Covid tests among older adults and children, for example, does not seem to be changing (https://nl.nytimes.com/f/a/A_TKvH2tqpDGEOjmyBLZMQ~~/AAAAAQA~/RgRjDzVyP0TOaHR0cHM6Ly90d2l0dGVyLmNvbS9kYXZpZHdkb3 dkeS9zdGF0dXMvMTQzMTExMzA5MjU4MzM3MDc1NT9jYW1wYWln bl9pZD05JmVtYz1lZGl0X25uXzIwMjEwODMwJmluc3RhbmNlX2 lkPTM5MTY2Jm5sPXRoZS1tb3JuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9ODA4MjE3 OTcmc2VnbWVudF9pZD02NzYwMiZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9OTkyZD YwODIxNGI1MDUwMDNhYTA0YmYxMGE1OTUwMzFXA255dEIKYSZy sCxhcRxK0FITZGFybm9jbmVsQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~), Dowdy notes. If waning immunity were a major problem, we should expect to see a faster rise in Covid cases among older people (who were among the first to receive shots). And even the Israeli analysis showed that the vaccines continued to prevent serious Covid illness at essentially the same rate as before.





“If there’s data proving the need for boosters, where is it?” Zeynep Tufekci, the sociologist and Times columnist, has written (https://nl.nytimes.com/f/newsletter/SH164iwRWW62AbzaeZDfSA~~/AAAAAQA~/RgRjDzVyP0TXaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS 8wOC8yNy9vcGluaW9uL2NvdmlkLWRhdGEtdmFjY2luZXMuaHRt bD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD05JmVtYz1lZGl0X25uXzIwMjEwODMwJm luc3RhbmNlX2lkPTM5MTY2Jm5sPXRoZS1tb3JuaW5nJnJlZ2lf aWQ9ODA4MjE3OTcmc2VnbWVudF9pZD02NzYwMiZ0ZT0xJnVzZX JfaWQ9OTkyZDYwODIxNGI1MDUwMDNhYTA0YmYxMGE1OTUwMzFX A255dEIKYSZysCxhcRxK0FITZGFybm9jbmVsQGdtYWlsLmNvbV gEAAAAAA~~).





Part of the problem is that the waning-immunity story line is irresistible to many people. The vaccine makers — Pfizer, Moderna and others — have an incentive to promote it, because booster shots will bring them big profits. The C.D.C. and F.D.A., for their part, have a history of extreme caution (https://nl.nytimes.com/f/newsletter/2JLfCXnYCREvjrGgKah-lQ~~/AAAAAQA~/RgRjDzVyP0TqaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS 8wNS8xMS9icmllZmluZy9vdXRkb29yLWNvdmlkLXRyYW5zbWlz c2lvbi1jZGMtbnVtYmVyLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9OSZlbW M9ZWRpdF9ubl8yMDIxMDgzMCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0zOTE2NiZu bD10aGUtbW9ybmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTgwODIxNzk3JnNlZ21lbn RfaWQ9Njc2MDImdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPTk5MmQ2MDgyMTRiNTA1 MDAzYWEwNGJmMTBhNTk1MDMxVwNueXRCCmEmcrAsYXEcStBSE2 Rhcm5vY25lbEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~), even when it harms public health (https://nl.nytimes.com/f/newsletter/NZScABckgVUW3DKxXqlAxQ~~/AAAAAQA~/RgRjDzVyP0TgaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS 8wOC8yNC9icmllZmluZy9mZGEtcGZpemVyLXZhY2NpbmUtYXBw cm92YWwuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD05JmVtYz1lZGl0X25uXz IwMjEwODMwJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTM5MTY2Jm5sPXRoZS1tb3Ju aW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9ODA4MjE3OTcmc2VnbWVudF9pZD02NzYwMi Z0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9OTkyZDYwODIxNGI1MDUwMDNhYTA0YmYx MGE1OTUwMzFXA255dEIKYSZysCxhcRxK0FITZGFybm9jbmVsQG dtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~). We in the media tend to suffer from bad-news bias (https://nl.nytimes.com/f/newsletter/gc4xqq5M24CKCJipqtTBZg~~/AAAAAQA~/RgRjDzVyP0TuaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS 8wMy8yNC9icmllZmluZy9ib3VsZGVyLXNob290aW5nLWdlb3Jn ZS1zZWdhbC1hc3RyYXplbmVjYS5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPT kmZW1jPWVkaXRfbm5fMjAyMTA4MzAmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9Mzkx NjYmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD04MDgyMTc5NyZzZW dtZW50X2lkPTY3NjAyJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD05OTJkNjA4MjE0 YjUwNTAwM2FhMDRiZjEwYTU5NTAzMVcDbnl0QgphJnKwLGFxHE rQUhNkYXJub2NuZWxAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA). And many Americans are so understandably frightened by Covid that they pay more attention to alarming signs than reassuring ones.





The bottom line






Here’s my best attempt to give you an objective summary of the evidence, free from alarmism — and acknowledging uncertainty:





Immunity does probably wane modestly within the first year of receiving a shot. For this reason, booster shots make sense for vulnerable people, many experts believe. As Dr. Céline Gounder of Bellevue Hospital Center told (https://nl.nytimes.com/f/newsletter/B_AoqaU91nH5IGFfyCtC3Q~~/AAAAAQA~/RgRjDzVyP0TdaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS 8wOC8xOC9oZWFsdGgvY292aWQtY2RjLWJvb3N0ZXJzLWVsZGVy bHkuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD05JmVtYz1lZGl0X25uXzIwMj EwODMwJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTM5MTY2Jm5sPXRoZS1tb3JuaW5n JnJlZ2lfaWQ9ODA4MjE3OTcmc2VnbWVudF9pZD02NzYwMiZ0ZT 0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9OTkyZDYwODIxNGI1MDUwMDNhYTA0YmYxMGE1 OTUwMzFXA255dEIKYSZysCxhcRxK0FITZGFybm9jbmVsQGdtYW lsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) my colleague Apoorva Mandavilli, the C.D.C.’s data “support giving additional doses of vaccine to highly immunocompromised persons and nursing home residents, not to the general public.”





The current booster shots may do little good for most people. The vaccines continue to provide excellent protection against illness (as opposed to merely a positive Covid test). People will eventually need boosters, but it may make more sense to wait for one specifically designed to combat a variant. “We don’t know whether a non-Delta booster would improve protection against Delta,” Dr. Aaron Richterman of the University of Pennsylvania told me.





A national policy of frequent booster shots has significant costs, financially and otherwise. Among other things, the exaggerated discussion of waning immunity contributes to vaccine skepticism.

Early COVID-19 Shutdowns Helped St. Louis Area Avoid Thousands Of Deaths

In March 2020, not long after the first cases of COVID-19 were reported locally,

health officials in the city of St. Louis and St. Louis County issued emergency public health orders intended to reduce interactions between people and slow the transmission of the novel respiratory virus.

Such action likely saved thousands of lives in the region,

An analysis indicates that

a delay of even two weeks in issuing local public health orders could have increased the number of deaths almost sevenfold in the city and county.

Even if we boost as much as Israel it wont do much

Sciene.org

Yet boosters are unlikely to tame a Delta surge on their own, says Dvir Aran, a biomedical data scientist at Technion. In Israel, the current surge is so steep that “even if you get two-thirds of those 60-plus [boosted], it’s just gonna give us another week, maybe 2 weeks until our hospitals are flooded.” He says it’s also critical to vaccinate those who still haven’t received their first or second doses, and to return to the masking and social distancing Israel thought it had left behind—but has begun to reinstate.

Aran’s message for the United States and other wealthier nations considering boosters is stark: “Do not think that the boosters are the solution.”

Marine Corps corporal receives lightning-fast dismissal over refusal to wear a mask.

Marine Cpl. Whitney McHaffie refused to comply with a mask mandate and doesn't want to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

A month after the Defense Department's mask mandate for unvaccinated troops went into effect, she was booted from the military, possibly making her the first service member to be forced out of the service for violating COVID-related rules.

In an interview with Military.com, McHaffie said the mask mandate violated her religious liberties. She said that she doesn't believe masks are effective and wearing them would be to bear false witness, a violation of the ninth commandment in Judaism and Christianity.

McHaffie said that she cannot morally take a vaccine because they are derivatives of aborted fetal tissue."It's against my religion because it's associated with aborted fetal tissue, I'm catholic," she said. "I'm not against vaccines, for me it's about religious freedom, choice and health concerns. :lmao :lmao

here in chile we are now at 80%+ double dose vaccinated (not counting children under 13, we have a mix of say 55% sinovac, 30% astrazeneca and 15% pfizer), and cases have dropped radically (despite delta coming in from the US a couple months ago), positivity is now under 1%, several regions have 0 cases- sinovac works, as do masks and travel restrictions (which tightened once those delta cases came in). Everything is opening back up save for travel, masks still required in public areas and all gatherings have a limit of people/sqft, which changes from indoor/outdoor and is halved if there is just one person present without their double dose of vaccine- for example i can have a party with 100 people in my yard/10 inside if double vaccinated, but only 50/5 if just one of them doesnt have their vaccine card (i have a big yard :lol). if police catch a house party or club breaking the rules the owners get a fine.

There was a moment when we were at 70%+ and delta was coming in, that our cases were still really high and it looked like it was all a failure, but credit where its due these policies- and the vaccines- have worked.

im curious why israel has been such a mess given they had a better rollout with pfizer, im guessing they allowed more travel/less masks and got bit in the ass for it

Many countries in south america are experiencing a drop. Could be seasonal trends more than a +10% vaccination.

Pfizer has been proven the most inefficient at long lasting protection. Also Israel started vaccinating in Jan and had almost completed vaccinating all adults in March. Thus why they are now throwing shit at this point to see what sticks qnd the US seems will follow suit

Whats crazy is still summer. Assuming most idiots get 3rd booster now. Whatbthe fuck will happen come January mid winter and cases spike again???

dude its winter here. and cases here in chile didnt drop, theyve plummeted over 90%. unfortunately most other south american countries arent near chile's vaccination rollout and case drop, the vaccines work and having massive coverage makes a difference

MAGAtard Marine booted for not following order to wear a mask! :lmao

Marine Corps corporal receives lightning-fast dismissal over refusal to wear a mask.

Marine Cpl. Whitney McHaffie refused to comply with a mask mandate and doesn't want to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

A month after the Defense Department's mask mandate for unvaccinated troops went into effect, she was booted from the military, possibly making her the first service member to be forced out of the service for violating COVID-related rules.

In an interview with Military.com, McHaffie said the mask mandate violated her religious liberties. She said that she doesn't believe masks are effective and wearing them would be to bear false witness, a violation of the ninth commandment in Judaism and Christianity.

McHaffie said that she cannot morally take a vaccine because they are derivatives of aborted fetal tissue."It's against my religion because it's associated with aborted fetal tissue, I'm catholic," she said. "I'm not against vaccines, for me it's about religious freedom, choice and health concerns. :lmao :lmao

We can make entirely new vaccines.
But this vaccine works in most cases extraordinarily well as it does STILL recognize the virus.
The most credible current theory is that the delta variant is coming with huge dosage to people who already have weakened immune systems. They cant keep up, but they do recognize the viral protein shape. Boosters make perfect sense for them. If tetanus came in large doses we would have to increase the number of tetanus boosters as well. A boost, is not a completely different vaccine. We have not come to that point.

This virus is most likely special because of the sheer number of viral particles it can cause some bodies to produce and the rapidity of its cellular takeover, its not the novelty of calling it delta. And again, by far the largest problems occur in UNVACCINATED people. Mask and get vaccinated. Do BOTH. But people like you were hesitant to do either, and now poor hater has given up hope, dashed against the rocks because his Trumpistas wont do either. And they also led the spread. Sorry you cant face up to it.

So Stop your whining ya damn Sandinistan fruit cake.

Maths time.

Per polling:

86% of Dems are vaxxed
63% of independents
54% of Fascists

29% of population identify as Democrat
40% are independent
28% are identify with the fascist party

Crunch the numbers a bit.

14% of Democrats who are 29% of the population are unvaxxed.
37% of Independents who are 40% of the population are unvaxxed.
46% of Fascists who are 28% of the population are unvaxxed.


Crunch the numbers a bit more.

Ratios for unvaxxed are:

12% Democrat
44% Independent
44% Fascist

Since the vast majority of the deaths, say 98%, to keep it easy are unvaxxed, that means that for every 10,000 deaths (vaxxed and unvaxxed)

Roughly:
1247 Democrats died.
4346 Independents died.
4407 Fascists died.

Fascists are dying off 3.5 times faster than Democrats.

the fact that you need a booster doesn't mean that vaccines don't work just that antibodies are going down fast. Vaccines are buying us some time to come up with a better vaccine (long lasting), treatments and not overwhelming hospitals. At this point, those against vaccines have no argument, it is a position they have chosen and they don't want to change

Moderna

(not sure how much there is to it, but an English study posted here awhile back suggested the optimum interval between vaccine doses might be up to 12 weeks.)

https://www.foxnews.com/health/moderna-covid-19-vaccine-antibodies-pfizer-shot-study

in the same vein:


An extended interval before the second dose of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 leads to increased antibody titres. A third dose of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 induces antibodies to a level that correlates with high efficacy after second dose and boosts T-cell responses.

the eye opener here is how long the most effective measured interval between first and second doses was: 44-45 weeks


Antibody titres were higher 28 days after vaccination in those with a longer interval between first and second dose than for those with a short interval (median total IgG titre: 923 EUs [IQR 525–1764] with an 8–12 week interval; 1860 EUs [917–4934] with a 15–25 week interval; and 3738 EUs [1824–6625] with a 44–45 week interval). Among participants who received a third dose of vaccine, antibody titres (measured in 73 [81%] participants for whom samples were available) were significantly higher 28 days after a third dose (median total IgG titre: 3746 EUs [IQR 2047–6420]) than 28 days after a second dose (median 1792 EUs [IQR 899–4634]https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(21)01699-8/fulltext

That math just doesn't add up. So dems are vaccinated at 86% and independents at 63% yet independents are dying at a rate the same as those vaxxed at 54%?

Similar raw death totals is not a similar "rate." Rate is percentage.

If Independents are a larger % of the population than Republicans, their raw death totals could still be near or higher total Republican deaths even with a higher death rate for Republicans.


Also you have somewhere close to 100% of the population unvaxxed :lol

No he doesn't. That's a breakdown of the affiliations of all unvaccinated people. It's supposed to add to 100%.

A charter school in Wilmington, Delaware, is offering (https://link.axios.com/click/24947555.342814/aHR0cHM6Ly9hcG5ld3MuY29tL2FydGljbGUvY29yb25hdmlydX MtcGFuZGVtaWMtc2Nob29scy1idXMtZHJpdmVycy0xNjhlMWU4 NWEzMjljNzQxNTljOWYwNmEwNWQxNjExZD91dG1fc291cmNlPW 5ld3NsZXR0ZXImdXRtX21lZGl1bT1lbWFpbCZ1dG1fY2FtcGFp Z249bmV3c2xldHRlcl9heGlvc3BtJnN0cmVhbT10b3A/6004bc4704300c1ae269be66B87446963) parents $700 to get their kids to and from school for the year.

51% call the situation "severe" or "desperate." The school district in Rochester, New York, says (https://link.axios.com/click/24947555.342814/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cud2hlYy5jb20vcm9jaGVzdGVyLW5ldy15b3 JrLW5ld3MvcmNzZC1jb25zaWRlcmluZy1hbGwtb3B0aW9ucy1h cy1kaXN0cmljdC1kZWFscy13aXRoLXNpZ25pZmljYW50LWJ1cy 1kcml2ZXItc2hvcnRhZ2UtLzYyMjQ5OTUvP3V0bV9zb3VyY2U9 bmV3c2xldHRlciZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJnV0bV9jYW1wYW lnbj1uZXdzbGV0dGVyX2F4aW9zcG0mc3RyZWFtPXRvcA/6004bc4704300c1ae269be66B04d7f13a) "all options are being considered."

Half of bus drivers are 65+ and so are more vulnerable to COVID-19, Joanna McFarland, CEO of school ride-service company HopSkipDrive, told AP (https://link.axios.com/click/24947555.342814/aHR0cHM6Ly9hcG5ld3MuY29tL2FydGljbGUvY29yb25hdmlydX MtcGFuZGVtaWMtc2Nob29scy1idXMtZHJpdmVycy0xNjhlMWU4 NWEzMjljNzQxNTljOWYwNmEwNWQxNjExZD91dG1fc291cmNlPW 5ld3NsZXR0ZXImdXRtX21lZGl1bT1lbWFpbCZ1dG1fY2FtcGFp Z249bmV3c2xldHRlcl9heGlvc3BtJnN0cmVhbT10b3A/6004bc4704300c1ae269be66C87446963).

I figure Uber/Lyft will continue to have driver shortages, since a lot of drivers were/are retired trying to complement their retirement pay

Did ducks move? This AZ MAGAtard sure acted like him.

An Arizona father who stormed into a school with zip-tie handcuffs after the principal told his kid to wear a mask has been arrested.

Rishi Rambaran, 40, stormed into Principal Diane Vargo's office on Thursday with zip-tie handcuffs, according to a since-removed Instagram video. He and two friends accompanying him claimed the school broke the law when administrative officials told his kid to wear a mask and quarantine after potential exposure to COVID-19.

Kelly Walker, one of the men who backed up Rambaran, shared a video to Instagram that appeared to show him driving to the school.

"I'm headed to Mesquite Elementary School right now, where a friend just notified me and some others that his son was indiscriminately taken to the office to be quarantined because supposedly someone had decided he but not other kids in this classroom were exposed to COVID," he said.

"And they shoved a mask on his face, wouldn't let him call his parents, and now his dad is there," he continued. "The school is blatantly breaking the law, blatantly going against the will of the people. I think this community has expressed that they're not going to have this kind of bullying of our kids, these kinds of scare tactics."

Let's make it really simple for you.

You have 100 old Israelis.

90 are vaccinated.

10 are not.

3 of the vaccinated group die.

2 of the unvaccinated group die.

More vaccinated old Israelis died so vaccines don't work, right?

20% of the unvaccinated died.

3% of the vaccinated died.

So vaccines don't work, right?

more mortuary trailers? you bet.

masks and mitigation? hell no, why do you hate freedom?



Five mortuary trailers were dispatched to San Antonio to assist hospitals across the state that had run out of room. San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg said the forethought on deaths should have been used to stem the spread.


“The fact is, the state is planning that more people are going to die of COVID. So much so that they anticipate local hospitals across the state are not going to be able to handle the amount of death they are going to see,” said Nirenberg.


Eight counties across the state are using refrigerated trucks to store the bodies of the dead. Bell County which includes Temple, Texas, has requested a second FEMA trailer with an extra storage capacity of 50 bodies. Several smaller trailers have been donated by the state funeral directors association.

This is fine.We'll probably just get a different Republican governor, but Greg Abbott's horrible pandemic policies could wreck Greg Abbott.
