Good to see the mods continue to support racism as long as it is directed at Asians. 

Seems like anything goes now to be honest. I don't think jd's post was ever removed. Heck even when the emb was affiliated with the team, TEW wayls good for one overtly racist post every couple months and there was an entire religion of peace thread that was basically a constant stream of anti Muslim rhetoric.

Yep, vaccines work.  Also, most of the studies show natural immunity is better than a vaccine alone.  Doubling up is the best.  That's what we've learned so far according to most studies.  That should be just fine.  Vaccines work.

This is not true. Natural immunity is more variable and reinfection risk has been shown to be higher than breakthrough infection risk.

More of a larger point about double standards, but I hear you.

Weak study. There is no way to know how many vaccinated people had prior COVID but just never tested for it. The authors even point this out. Most studies out there show the opposite and it seems pretty logical that the very best protection occurs when both natural and vaccine protection combine. 
 

All info is potentially helpful but pointing at this study and arguing a conclusion would be silly (you didn’t do that and I’m assuming that wasn’t your intention either). 

It was more of a generalization of what happens if we stop vaccinating for these diseases.  Point being they would come back with a bit of a vengeance.  I read another one where they said if we stopped vaccinating for polio than within 10 years there would be at least a half million cases annually and that’s with less than 100 cases in the world right now.  Vaccines work for what they’re intended for.  Which is not to eradicated viruses but to protect people from them.

So you mean the headline was just sheet?  Yeah, vaccines are good.  So is natural immunity from having already had the disease.

In case I wasn't clear enough in my other posts, when I say "natural immunity" I mean thru the protection one as after having the disease and recovering.

My question is what constitutes "the disease" at any particular point in time.  If we get waves in 2022, is it going to be the same virus, or some variant that can evade antibodies from vaccines or previous infections.

You can go by what you're told. I go by what I see.

It's still a free-ish country.

The stats have come from every corner of the vaccinated first world.  The data is 8 months old+.  10 unvaccinated dead to every fully vaccinated.  There is nothing, not one cherry picked stat you have posted in the entire time that refutes it.  The jig is up man.  The vaccine is the best way out of this mess, no matter where it came from.

 

BTW, if you must know, I trust dr Faucci marginally further than I can kick him, and I only say that because he's a midget and I got good legs.  But the data doesn't lie and there is zero doubt at this point that we are facing one of those moments in history, like war, where you gotta take one for the team.  Is the vaccine 100% safe.  Of course not.  But it's what we have to do to get out of this mess, end of story.

 

Oh, and puh-lease dude, you and I and all of our friends put 3x more poison in our systems every friday night.  Man the F up dude.

I'm old school, "rub a little dirt on it" toxically masculine. 

Shot. No shot. You get it, you carry it, and maybe pass it. 

I do admit that I'm curious about long term effects. I'll tell you this. My wife decided to. Something happens to her there's a better than fair chance you'll read about me.

 

I’m getting pretty good at passing covid tests. 3 for 3 so far.  Most likely a cold.  Yea!  Now I don’t have to ask anyone to go to the store for me.

We've had a rash of pretty bad colds running through Stockholm over the last several weeks.  I know lots of people who were tested and everyone came up negative.  That included my daughter.  I had a mild case.  Lasted about two days for me.  No fever either.

That’s good.  I am feeling better today compared to last week.  Two weeks ago I was cleaning and doing windows and I always get stuffy after doing that. 
 

Hows your weather?  This is the latest I remember not having turned the heat on yet.  Going to wash my filter and test her out today. Going to need it next week. And get the humidifier out.

Our days are high 40s to mid 50s these days.  Nothing cold yet but the 60+ degree days are over.
