I bought tickets to take my daughter to her first football game, with the thought she'd be able to be vaccinated by October. Might have to sell the tickets if things spiral out of control here. It's so F'ing frustrating. These gd idiots are ruining this for everyone.

I would like to know what exactly would be the point of killing everyone that takes the vaccine? Like what is the benefit of killing off everyone that takes the vaccine? That is obviously the anti vaxx reasons for not taking it correct that and government over reach? It is confusing at this point, with the thought process.

They live in an alternate reality and I'm not sure there's anything that can be said or done to bring them back from their delusions.

The sad thing is the government is protecting these people and yet we still have this whole issue. Hell even with everything that happened last year with my parents they still refuse the vaccine.

There is obviously still risk at home, but you should be able to assess that risk better. If the parents are not vaccinated, though, then it wouldn't be crazy to wear a mask at home, at least when in the same room as your kids. The context here was vaccinated parents and unvaccinated kids and what parents need to do themselves to protect their kids. The guy had two shots. One was live in an interview. The other was hours later on Twitter. First he tells the parents they need to mask at home. Then he realizes that doesn't look too good and corrects himself later via Twitter saying what he really meant was that the parents needed to mask if in an indoor place with their kids to protect the kids BUT they don't need to mask at home. If vaccinated parents need to mask out in public indoor places to protect their kids then they sure as hell need to mask at home to afford the kids the same protection. He’s the NIH Director. He totally sheeted the bed.

Tons of people in packed restaurants. No delta variant. I think I’m in such peak condition that I either can’t catch it or if I do, I have no symptoms. I’m just built different, I guess.

August 4, 20215 yr I'm honestly surprised there's not a bigger outcry about this. Actually, no, this is CVON. I'm really not.

Quote In May, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia struck down the CDC’s nationwide eviction ban, concluding the moratorium exceeds the limits Congress placed on the CDC’s authority So they are openly defying the supreme court but it isn't a big deal because the cdc is run by people sympathetic to your preferred political party?
August 4, 20215 yr Governor of Kansas now says he wishes he never banned mask mandates. Hmmm, I wonder what changed his mind?
August 4, 20215 yr A fourth wave of COVID-19 is threatening to overwhelm U.S. hospitals in regions where large swaths of unvaccinated people provide little resistance to the highly contagious delta variant. https://amp.usatoday.com/amp/5452766001 Quote While previous COVID-19 waves mainly involved older and middle-aged adults with existing health conditions, the new wave is claiming young adults in their 20s and 30s who need breathing machines in hospital intensive care units, Clendenin said.
August 4, 20215 yr 9 hours ago, NOTW said: Now there's a Delta plus? The "plus" refers to a specific spike protein mutation that was also seen in the alpha variant. They're seeing the same mutation in the delta virus. There is no sign yet if delta plus is any more dangerous or contagious than the original delta variant. LINK Quote The virus hasn’t appeared to have gained traction on British soil, said Colin Angus, a public health policy modeler and analyst in England. The "plus” of the variant’s name refers to its K417N spike protein mutation, which was also found in some substrains of the alpha variant — the dominant strain in the country before the delta variant — but the substrains never got a foothold, he explained. "To date, there is no clear evidence that it conveys enough of a benefit to the virus to allow it to dominate the original delta variant,” he said. "So although it is clearly here, there is no obvious sign that it has gained a foothold over existing variants of the virus.” Angus also noted that delta-plus cases have primarily been in younger people but that preliminary data has shown that antibodies from vaccinated people are still effective against the variant. "This was in a very small sample,” he said of the data. "We need more evidence to get a clear picture about any possible advantage against vaccines that delta plus may have, but the fact that we haven’t seen it clearly outcompete delta despite having been found in several countries with high vaccination rates, suggests that any advantage can only be very small.”
August 4, 20215 yr I've heard comments from my in-laws that imply variants are made up and that "there's a new one every week." As if this information hasn't been publicly available for months now: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/variants/variant-info.html

Let Delta roll. This nation can use a good purge.
August 4, 20215 yr Going to a Concert at Citizens Bank Park this month. I definitely plan on wearing a mask. These type of events could become super spreader events. I am concerned about going. 18 minutes ago, rambo said: I'm all for natural selection. Let Delta roll. This nation can use a good purge. Yeah, especially in red counties.

Whatever repercussions come from their inaction they can sow. Odds are most will live, but those that don't...I lack sympathy for them. Especially at risk individuals.
August 4, 20215 yr The unvaccinated. Covid patient goes from 'invincible' to hospital-bed vaccine advocate Suzanne Ciechalski Tue, August 3, 2021, 10:18 PM An unvaccinated Virginia man who’s been hospitalized with Covid-19 is using social media to urge others to go out and get the shot. Travis Campbell, 43, has been in the hospital for more than a week with complications from the virus, which also infected his wife and two of their children. Image: Travis Campbell has been making Facebook videos and posts asking people to get vaccinated against Covid-19 after testing positive and being hospitalized for the virus. (Travis Campbell) "We just thought we were invincible and we weren't going to get it,” said his wife, Kellie Campbell. "And we’ve just been so busy, and we just moved, and we prolonged getting the vaccine.” Kellie Campbell said her husband tested positive on July 22 and got progressively worse. Eventually, he was hospitalized. She worries that he will be placed on a ventilator to help his breathing. "I mean, he couldn't catch his breath ... had fever, just lethargic, he ached, just one thing after another,” she said. "He started in a regular room, and then he went to a Covid ICU room, and now he's in the pulmonary ICU.” Despite his condition, Travis Campbell is adamant about making videos to share on Facebook encouraging others to get vaccinated now, his wife said. "I’m testifying to all my bulletproof friends that's holding out, it's time to protect your family, it's not worth getting long term lung damage or death please go get the vaccine,” Travis Campbell wrote in a July 25 Facebook post. Kellie Campbell said her husband is "all about other people” and doesn’t want others to have to deal with what he's going through. "He just doesn't want anyone to have to endure the pain that he has, and if a vaccine will help them, that's what they need to do,” she said. In a video posted from his hospital bed Tuesday night, Travis Campbell asked followers to consider whether they’d rather plan their own funerals and goodbyes or get vaccinated. "I hope to God that all my friends and family would not say, ‘Somebody hand me a piece of paper and a pen.’ That’s a sobering thought, of which I have done,” he said. As her family and doctors take her husband’s condition day by day, Kellie Campbell said her advice to others is to go out and get vaccinated immediately. "If you have to take time off work, if you have to miss out on something, you need to go get the vaccine, because we didn't, and look where we are now,” she said. "I mean, that should be your top priority. Especially not just for you, but your family members.”
August 4, 20215 yr Going to the Bank with work Friday. We only have a few here not vaccinated. I'll be fine tailgating with them, and sitting together-but figure I'll have my mask for the restroom if needed. Daughter and I are scheduled for a concert in Syracuse in a couple weeks. Outdoor seats but still-youngish crowd.

August 4, 20215 yr Ordered tickets for a trip to Colorado in September. Bought flight insurance. I don't have a good feeling about where we will be, COVIDwise.
