They will blame higher covid numbers on border crossings just like they planned.

 

Yeah, that can't be the reason.  Just like the riots weren't super-spreader events.

Millions being vaccinated should  compensate for border crossers I would think.

 

Of course - plus it's total BS - but the agenda has been set and the talking points are already written.

Football season ends April 1st.  Yes that's correct a full 6 game season is underway here.   

 

Football season happened here in this state when metrics were worse then they were in September 

 

 

No word on how "overwhelmed" our hospitals are. 

 

Question nothing.

The break along "party" lines with this is astounding.

 

Of course it's highly likely this "Heather" is one of millions of Chinese bots.   

 

It's possible the mayor is to.  At least on the payroll.  Total team player.

A deer staring into headlights doesn't look as dumbfounded as Biden looks here. 

 

The world knows he is a puppet President.

Just block these people out.  It's a fruitless battle.  The election was stolen from Trump and nothing you say will convince them otherwise.

 

so i was reading back my conversation and both our points. i may not have put what i was saying well enough and just going through the discussion. then i came across this and it goes to the point i was making.

 

i can say your right! there is a us and "them" and it is pointless to try and "convince" them.

 

there are large segments of people that completely trust the info they are fed and manipulated with. those people watch only biased media that confirms them and never give credibility to those that don't. anyone who doesn't agree is not worth the time because they are WRONG no matter what, because you must be all in or out. no in between. 

 

so which are you?

 

if you took anytime to read the discussion you may have come across my actual stance. but snap judgments is kind of what "they" do. i won't try to convince you as it was all there to read before you gave advice. ill just leave what i actually said in the discussion you made this comment on that states how i undeniably believe the election was stolen and there's no convincing "them". you and him both seemed to want others to accept your absolutes. i think your the ones who can't be reasoned with because personally i concider this is very reasonable take.

somehow ive been put in the strange position of defending trumps allegations and having to scour the internet for factual proof that he himself has not. that's not what I'm saying and never was my stance. my stance is that there is validity to peoples idea that we have alot of troubling problems in our election system and yes i believe corruption was involved. the overwhelming evidence seems to say that joe biden was elected as presidents but that in no way means that there were not very troubling ways in which that happened. that also does not mean if they were corrected he would not have been. 

 

not trying to push this subject further, just pointing out what my issue was to begin with.

Covid: Brazil experts issue warning as hospitals 'close to collapse'

 

More than 80% of intensive care unit beds are occupied in the capitals of 25 of Brazil's 27 states, Fiocruz said.

Experts warn that the highly contagious variant in Brazil may have knock-on effects in the region and beyond.

 

"Brazil is a threat to humanity," Fiocruz epidemiologist Jesem Orellana told the AFP news agency.

Then there is the UK and S. Africa variant . The present vaccine just has to work against these

Here we go.......your kids are going to be in dystopian distanced schools until September 2022 at minimum...

 

Oh and masks and distancing for all indefinitely:

 

 

 

“We certainly recommend and encourage families to be comfortable with sending their children to school, but we also realize that there are situations with families — perhaps they have elderly individuals living at home, people with special medical needs, and they’re just not comfortable with their kids returning to school,” Northam said. “We understand that, and the schools will continue to provide virtual learning ... until we get to the point where this pandemic is finally in the rearview mirror.”

 

Northam said reaching herd immunity in Virginia will eventually require vaccinating children.

 

Right now, none of the three available vaccines in the U.S. have been tested on children, who were not prioritized in vaccine trials given the low number of cases and little evidence of spread among them.

 

“That leaves a lot of children that still have yet to be vaccinated,” said Northam, adding that trials for safety and efficacy of the vaccines on children won’t be completed until late this year. “The message here is that it’s going to take a while to reach herd immunity, to get both our adults and children vaccinated, which is what our ultimate goal is.”

Anyone here get that memo on what the goal is now?  Anyone?

 

 

No update on hospitalizations or ICUs being overwhelmed.  

 

 

This is proof of 12 straight months of lies.  

 

Confirmed.  

 

Parents have a right to know what these lunatics are planning for 2021-2022.  

 

This is a disgrace.  And the American people and fake news press putting up with it are an embarrassment to civilization.

Fantastic article discussing the major vaccines and this table 1 link really highlights how the US/Europe has the best ones.  Truly impressive Pfizer and Moderna took the extra scientific steps to design a more effective spike protein antigen in such a short time.  Please everyone get the vaccine, I got Moderna, nothing too bad but mostly some transient chills/fever 13-18 hours post-second dose.

 

This vaccine is nothing more than an mRNA surrounded by nano-lipid (fat) molecules.  Side effects are consistent with a viral immune response and I think Moderna pushed the dose level given the urgent need. Side effects I take as a sign the vaccination was successful the first dose.

Then there is the UK and S. Africa variant . The present vaccine just has to work against these 

What I'm seeing from lab studies is that the mRNA vaccines that modified the spike protein (pfizer, moderna) are effective against UK, Brazil but lose something like 12 fold effectiveness for the S. Africa variant.  J&J, Novavax have even more S-protein modifications so they may perform better against S. Africa.  Keep in mind that current Russia, China, Astra Zeneca vaccines use the non-modified spike protein and may have decidedly less efficacy.  Supposedly Moderna or Pfizer has already sent FDA a modified vaccine dose they feel will be more effective against the variants.

 

Not sure if this is different from their next-gen vaccine of the receptor binding domain (RBD) already in clinical trials.

 

 

Sorry, no citations, saw this in browsing articles last night and this morning.

Question nothing.  

The state of emergency is good business for state government bureaucracy.  There is every incentive to keep it alive so that the federal government continues shoveling money to the states to prop up pensions and pay for all sorts of stuff.  The stimulus bill reflects it.    NY state is set to receive nearly $24 billion in cash with no strings.

 

If the federal government told the healthcare industry and the states that no more federal money is coming their way because of COVID, states would open up within the hour.

What projections are you talking about?

 Maybe this

President Trump is claiming that without his efforts, there would have been 2 million deaths in the U.S. from COVID-19.

 

But that 2 million number is taken from a model that shows what would happen without any mitigation measures — that is, if citizens had continued their daily lives as usual, and governments did nothing. Experts said that wouldn’t have happened in real life.

 

Trump implemented travel restrictions for some people traveling from China beginning Feb. 2 and for Europe on March 11. But experts say and reports show the restrictions don’t appear to have had much effect because they were put in place too late and had too many holes.

Who elected the CDC President?   

 

 

 

"The C.D.C. on Monday released long-awaited guidance for Americans who have been fully vaccinated, telling them that it is safe to gather in small groups at home without masks or social distancing."

 

 

 

Its cool everyone.  You can now gather in small groups in your homes......if you are fully vaccinated!

 

Wow what awful lives people have been living the last 12 months.  And willingly.

 

 

 

What was going to be your plan if Trump didn't succeed at developing the miracle vaccine?  

 

What if there is no cure? 

 

What was your long term strategy?

Good news.  GET VACCINATED PEOPLE.  Convince vaccine skeptics the best you can.  Full supply should be available by May.

I believe the numbers show that people are indeed getting vaccinated at unprecedented numbers. Sure, there’ll be some who don’t but that’s true for all vaccinations...and I’m not going to yell at or throw shame at people who don’t. You never know what conditions they may have or life experience they’ve gone through. One of the best things about this particular vaccine is that it’s bipartisan. It was developed under Trump and dispensed under Biden...so I’m hoping it takes some of the politics out of it...or at least it should!

Yea we know this.  That's great.  Awesome.  I guess.  

 

But when did this become about herd immunity and vaccinate all kids?  

 

How is anyone good with the 60000000 goal post moves, lying, and the suffering our kids will continue to endure in blue states still by September of this year.

Polls have shown a greater degree of vaccine hesitancy from Republicans.
