Lol "survivethenews.com" is even worse. Their "About Us" section just takes you to an ad for Trump gear

Shocking for a site blaming the death of a guy with cancer on a booster shot.

Truly the dumbest Fing people.

Gibraltar: 100% vaccinated – Corona incidence is going through the roof

REPORT24

Gibraltar was sold in the media as a prime example of how wonderfully "normal” life could be if only every citizen dutifully picked up his vaccination: on the small peninsula with fewer than 34,000 inhabitants, a vaccination rate of 100% was actually achieved. In the meantime, however, it has become suspiciously quiet around the oh-so-successful country. This is hardly surprising, because the incidence in Gibraltar has exploded: it is currently well over 400.

Data from Gibraltar already raised serious questions at the beginning of the year when, just in time for the start of the vaccination campaign in January, the previously low corona death rate in the country began to rise massively. Fact checkers financed by the pharmaceutical industry tried to deny any connection between the deaths and the vaccination – but, as usual, they could not provide any counter-evidence: The conclusion was simply that a causal connection was not officially confirmed. Of course, that means nothing – so far, every serious side effect of the Covid vaccine has been downplayed unrestrainedly, until sooner or later an official warning had to be issued.

And now the numbers from Gibraltar are fueling all doubts about the meaning and purpose of the corona vaccinations. Most recently, a 7-day incidence of a whopping 489.8 was recorded – and the number of cases continues to rise. There are hardly any serious cases; however, this is not surprising, after all, Covid-19 is not dangerous for the majority of the population. Officials attribute the explosion in the number of cases despite vaccination to the delta variant, i.e. the variant because of which every adult (and every child) in this country is supposed to be forced to receive the supposedly protective vaccination.

Other countries with high vaccination rates also have high case numbers

Gibraltar is anything but an isolated case . For example, Report24 reported on the Seychelles as early as May : Their vaccination rate is considered exemplary worldwide – to this day the Seychelles have one of the highest vaccination rates in the world. At the same time, however, they also have one of the highest incidences with values well over 500 .

When you are vaccinated, you can still catch the disease. It just won't kill you. Generally, you have a milder case. No deaths since February still sounds good to me, despite your ALARMING bold text.

He's not an antivaxer, guys. He just happens to stumble upon all these clearly reputable sites that imply people are dying from the vaccine.

We have a project under construction right now for a federal agency. During a site visit yesterday, after everyone else from the agency left, their full time site representative started asking the 2 guys from my company if we were hiring. Apparently, he refuses to get the vaccine. He indicated to one of our guys that he really likes what he does and enjoys working there but he isn’t sure what the consequences are going to be since he won’t get the shot. Their meeting to discuss requirements was postponed and he’s preparing for possibility of losing his job.

Hardly.  I'd want the best doctors to lead the charge there.  Although if there were some hot shot nurses on staff, damn right I'd want them involved in the decision making process and find it hard to believe that you would not want their participation.

 

I'm guessing you were envisioning hot lips Houlihan. 

You're really getting clowned in here. 

The right seems so hell-bent on elevating the common over the specialized (elite) that they're actually arguing for taking the advise of conspiracy minded nurses over doctors with vastly more knowledge and understanding of medical science.

That there are bad doctors and good nurses does not change the fact that the average doctor is much better informed about Covid than the average nurse.

That's not a shot at nurses, it's just reality. It's not their role to know, and the fact of the matter is most nurses don't have the capacity to be a practicing doctor. It's very hard to be a doctor. Far more humans are capable of learning the skills required to be a nurse vs that of a doctor.

That doesn't make nurses unimportant. But it does make doctors more valuable - because they're more knowledgeable and thus trusted. 

To argue otherwise is ridiculous.

And what makes you think I haven't been vaccinated?  You have no clue about my vaccination status, and I won't be sharing it on these public boards with any of you.  It's my own private business and none of your business unless I choose to let you know.

Hi Carson!  Could you do us a favor and stay healthy and play just good enough not to get benched but bad enough to get us a top 10 pick?  Would be much appreciated.  Thanks!

"You liberal sheep with your NY Times and NPR echo chambers.  Anyway here's an article from Trumpcucks.ru that explains how Flintstone vitamin enemas reduced COVID deaths by 112% among a group of Inuit tribesman. Why don't we see THAT in the mainstream media?!"

Biden: We're forcing all businesses with over 100 employees to mandate vaccines.

Riot Kitchen: This is fine.

Ron DeSantis: No, we're not allowing businesses to do that.

Riot Kitchen: *hyperventilating in ishlib* He can't do that! He's a tyrant!

Tell that to the husband and kids of our friend who passed away last week from Covid - passed away despite being fully vaccinated.

Sorry, don't have a cite to the Internet for that piece of information.

Klein as stupid and uninformed as always.

Unfortunately, that’s not going to be the ending. This thing is like the flu — it’s not going away. Vaccination doesn’t prevent transmission or infection.

Everyone is going to get COVID eventually. The vaccination will lower symptoms and prevent deaths from COVID in the aggregate, hopefully without unintended consequences like mutation of the virus into a less manageable form or causing unforeseen side effects at a high rate.

 

 

Merck says research shows its COVID-19 pill works against variants

https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/1-merck-says-research-shows-183245783.html

 

Laboratory studies show that Merck & Co's experimental oral COVID-19 antiviral drug, molnupiravir, is likely to be effective against known variants of the coronavirus, including the dominant, highly transmissible Delta, the company said on Wednesday. 

  Since molnupiravir does not target the spike protein of the virus - the target of all current COVID-19 vaccines - which defines the differences between the variants, the drug should be equally effective as the virus continues to evolve, said Jay Grobler, head of infectious disease and vaccines at Merck. 

  Molnupiravir instead targets the viral polymerase, an enzyme needed for the virus to make copies of itself. It is designed to work by introducing errors into the genetic code of the virus. 

  Data shows that the drug is most effective when given early in the course of infection, Merck said.

Gee, I wonder how much Merck has budgeted to earn from this little pill.  Certainly a lot more than the horsepaste pill.

Best I can tell it's a similar mechanism of action to Remdesivir.

Drug companies developing anti-viral medications to treat a virus instead of anti-parasitics?  What an outrage!

That’s huge. The vaccine is basically a cyclical stop gap. Hopefully this can become a more permanent form of treatment.

Just found out that my cousin who had COVID at Christmas time now Hs chest tightness and gets short of breath. He blames it on the vaccine, but doesn’t rule out the possibility that it could be after effects of having had COVID. SMH…
