The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19

As if The Lancet couldn't be any bigger of a joke as a "medical journal," they're now saying that anyone entertaining the lab leak origin of the Chinese virus is engaging in conspiracy theories. :lol:

Yes, a totally new class of vaccine is exactly the same as mixing seltzer and alcohol, both of which have been around for centuries. :rolleyes:

If that's what passes as comedy today (beyond the spiffy Twit handle "Kevin Durant's bald spot")...


You should see the handles @galacticredpill retweets if you want some serious handle comedy

Why is the UK so different right now? I don't have an answer. Just strange. 

My theory without belaboring the point:  The UK's longtime problems with Vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency, and it's similarly long time lack of fortified food products.  Everywhere in the world there is a covid spike - the same deficiency is there.  The most vulnerable populations to COVID are the obese and elderly, again guaranteed to be insufficient without supplementation, very likely to be deficient.

 

If you did a Vitamin D blood test of 100 randomly picked COVID positive patients, (vaccine status, age, race irrelevant), I'd bet 90% of them will be insufficient or deficient in Vitamin D.  Those people who have worked around COVID or been around others who haven't gotten it aren't lucky - they likely have above average levels because they supplement and/or regularly eat a lot of fortified products (millk, cereals, cheese, eggs).

Get vaccinated idiots

Are you a Medical Doctor?  Or did you sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night?  If neither, please leave people's personal health care decisions to them and their Doctor. That's what the Left's all about, right?

Good luck to him I guess. Would be great if we could get to 75% or so.

 

Now I think we are about to the point where everyone has had ample opportunity to get vaccinated.  Science tells us if you are vaccinated you won't catch it or spread it.  So those that choose not to get it run the educated risk that they might catch or spread it to other non vaccinated people. 

 

If you wanna run that risk, good luck to you.  We're not gonna over run the hospitals or run out of respirators.

 

If mass injection sites, drug stores, grocery stores, lotteries haven't got you off the dime yet you're pretty dug in.  

 

The only real motivator left is for a person to realize its not worth the risk anymore IMHO.

I got a new doctor 4 years ago when I moved back to SoCal.  He pushed Vitamin D on me like crazy.  I've been taking 10,000 IU daily for a couple years now.

As long as the unvaccinated don't cause a variant that is resistant to vaccines , that's their choice. The problem is if they infect children who are not eligible for vaccine or immune compromised.

Then they can mask up.

Warning that fully vaccinated may be spreading Delta variant as cases rise across US

 

 

Health experts in the United States have raised the alarm that vaccinated individuals might be spreading the Covid-19 Delta variant, as cases surge in states across the country.

 

The highly transmissible Delta variant now makes up more than half of new infections in the US.

 

Currently the B.1.1.7, or Alpha, variant is the dominant strain in the country, But researchers said the Delta variant would likely overtake the Alpha variant in three to four weeks.

 

Christopher Murray, director of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, told Insider that the spread of the Delta variant could actually be worse than current data suggests.

 

“CDC guidance is not to test the vaccinated [unless they’re symptomatic], so we’re probably missing a bunch of transmission in vaccinated individuals,” Mr Murray said, who is the lead modeller at the IHME, which the White House has leaned on when making pandemic policies.

 

“We have 14 states where transmission has started to go back up,” he added.

 

The expert credited the rise in the Delta variant to both unvaccinated Americans and the relaxation of Covid-19 guidance across most of the US. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lifted its masking guidance in May for vaccinated Americans after more and more people received a jab.

 

But the spread of the Delta variant has influenced some areas across the US, such as Los Angeles County, to reimpose masking guidance for all residents, vaccinated or not.
