    lol no they don't

    Amazing at this point some of you are still thinking this virus is going to go away
    YES they do.
    You are telling me the vaccines do Zero in preventing live/infection capable virus from being transmitted from vaccinated people?
    Thats dead wrong. You are just flat out wrong.

    And this has absolutely nothing to do with the virus going away fred.
    It has to do with creating very SMALL POPULATIONS of virus transmission so that mutations and variants are LESS likely to arise. Keep coming Dr. SNAKE.

    Edit my bad:
    I now realize the definition of sterilizing immunity is not causing infection in a vaccinated person.
    I was referring to the fact that immunized people are much less likely to release reproductively capable viral particles.

    And this is why it is so important to get vaccinated.

    Ah. I now I find some places are defining this term differently. But I think it is officially not causing infection in a vaccinated person. Which does make complete sense because vaccinated individuals CAN and do get infected, they just are much less likely to produce capable virus that causes bad symptoms because their immune system was already primed to fight it. And very very infrequently pass reproductively capable virus to other, which is the reason for the effort to vaccinate large number of people. (all based on info to this date)

    fwiw, contact tracing in Israel has identified chains of infection that passed through multiple (n=12, I think) fully vaccinated people before infecting more unvaccinated people.

    IIRC, kids brought it home from school, starting the chain.

    Yeah I saw that. And I dont see how they cannot rule out other intervening cases. Contact tracing does not really help say who it definitely came from, as much as it gets information on who it did not likely come from.
    But I do not see significant data here at all. Breakthroughs are still rare and have come mostly in cases involving a likely heavy dose from a "loaded" infected individual on a vaccinated individual.
    Was Israel using one particular vaccine?

    And the definition of sterilizing immunity is a really bad one from an actual biological mechanism point of view. There is no clear cut off point.

    Sterilizing immunity is a unique immune status, which prevents effective virus infection into the host. It is different from the immunity that allows infection but with subsequent successful eradication of the virus.

    The bolded is not explained with biological definition at all. Not surprising, either is the word alive.

    And also there is no doubt in my mind with as many people that were vaccinated, some people did not get active vaccine. There were definitely some ineffective stock of vaccine.

    They're mostly using the Pfizer vaccine (Pfizer is conducting the national study, along with the Health Ministry), but others are in the mix and being monitored. Because of the national scale of the study, the intensiveness of contact tracing, and the degree/relative uniformity of vaccination, the data from Israel is (reportedly) very robust.

    of course, the robustness does not rule out anything

    Yes I just saw that.
    Thanks.

    I would be dubious of the contact tracing like I said. Its easier to cross someone off a list that say they were a contributor.
    But this is definitely something to keep tabs on. And it is unique. So unique that I would look at the Pfizer lot. The degree of relative uniformity could be uniformly bad if it was uniformly bad lots. But this is highly unlikely. Smaller number of people involved. But still worrisome.

    The Darrin rodeo. I'll let someone else play.
    No need to play, Darrin gets bucked off way before the buzzer damn near every time.

    “It’s actually quite dramatic how the growth rate will change,” says Dr. Wilson. Delta is spreading 50% faster than Alpha, which was 50% more contagious than the original strain of SARS-CoV-2, he says. “In a completely unmitigated environment—where no one is vaccinated or wearing masks—it’s estimated that the average person infected with the original coronavirus strain will infect 2.5 other people,” Dr. Wilson says. “In the same environment, Delta would spread from one person to maybe 3.5 or 4 other people.”

    organ damage and permanent impairment seem to be thematic.

    Many COVID-19 survivors are likely to be at greater risk of developing mental illness, psychiatrists said on Monday, after a large study found 20% of those infected with the coronavirus are diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder within 90 days.


    Anxiety, depression and insomnia were most common among recovered COVID-19 patients in the study who developed mental health problems. The researchers from Britain's Oxford University also found significantly higher risks of dementia, a brain impairment condition.

    It's all about the death count, Winester, and your mother er Biden now has 228k of dead Americans on his side the COVID Death Ledger.

    A program to aid the economy brings Mexican workers into San Diego for vaccinations.

    TIJUANA — On a recent morning, hundreds of Mexican workers from the factories here, known as maquiladoras, were waved across the border into San Diego, without visas or passports, and rolled up their sleeves to be vaccinated against Covid-19. An hour later, they were back on production lines in Tijuana.

    The goal was to protect not just the workers, but also the intertwined U.S. and Mexican economies.

    “If the maquiladoras can’t operate, then we don’t get our Coca-Cola,” said Lydia Ikeda, the senior director of Covid operations at the University California San Diego Health, which is helping run the program. “We cannot be isolated.”

    The cross-border vaccination effort is meant to remedy the kind of disparity in access to the vaccine that economists have warned could keep a robust global economic rebound out of reach.

    The Biden administration has pledged to send 80 million doses to other nations, including four million for Mexico.

    Along the U.S.-Mexico border, however, a pandemic border closure and a dearth of vaccines in Mexico have threatened to keep local economic recovery at bay. And officials from both nations have found a way to share surplus vaccines from Texas and California with Mexicans on the other side.

    “We are divided by a virtual line,” Dr. Ikeda said, gesturing to the border. “To get them vaccinated is the only way for us to get out of the pandemic.”

    The idea of vaccinating workers just across the border occurred to Carlos González Gutiérrez, Mexico’s consul general in San Diego, when he watched as college students and undo ented workers plucking berries in California’s fields received the vaccines with relative ease while Mexico struggled to provide them for its older people.

    Mr. González reached out to San Diego County officials, who had seen the closure of the border in March 2020 damage the region’s once-thriving economy, with a proposal: Why not give excess vaccines nearing expiration to the thousands of Mexicans factory workers just across the border?

    Soon, Mexican and U.S. officials agreed that San Diego’s excess vaccines, all Johnson & Johnson, would be sold to American companies with factories in Mexico. By May, San Diego County had received permission from the federal government — which owns the vaccines — to sell the shots, and worked with the Department of Homeland Security to allow Mexicans without visas to cross the border to receive them.

    “We’re following about 700 patients here at McGovern. We’ve looked and found dramatic increases in brain injury markers in the blood of people with COVID,” said Dr. McCullough, MD, PhD, chair of Neurology at UTHealth.

    The red team started the anti mask and vacc movement.
    That is still going strong, even on this board.
    It falls in YOUR lap. You voted for a snakeoil salesman.

    "A cure exists right underneath the kitchen counter, we are right around the corner, no worries, poof its gone."

    History says you own this.
    You sleep with this, you make love to this pandemic thinking and the problems.
    Easiest thing for you is to go derp and call it a hoax.
