Coronavirus

It's not really a vaccine either, is it? vaccines provide immunity and require a booster, what, every 10 years or so? This is a variety of flu shot, really.

Nothing about this drug causes acquired immunity.

Why the hell are the chest pounders calling it a vaccine?
 
So, why is it being called a vaccine? Hey, resident medical experts, help me out here. A drug that does not prevent you from catching and becoming ill from the very virus it supposedly protects against cannot meet the definition of vaccine, can it? And, it needs a booster every 6 months or so? Seriously?

I have seen that before. I think it's called a flu shot.

When will you all wake up and finally admit this is a big money grab by people way above your pay grades? Pathetic to be such sheep.

Aggies.
 
You just don't call people the "a" word like that.
When they act like, I'll say it. And I'll say it directly to them as well, not just as an internet keyboard warrior.

These chest pounders are going along with insanity just like aggies and their "traditions". Stupid, and anyone with any sense can see it is, except them.

What's their expression? Oh yeah...

"From the outside looking in, you can't understand it. And from the inside looking out, you can't explain it."

Yep, that's what these "vaccine" pushers, shamers, whatever, are, no better than aggies.
 
People are NOT dying from this vaccine. We vaccinated over 20,000 people in our system with no reportables. When you make vaccinations of the old and feeble a priority there are a certain % who are going to pass of natural causes after receiving the vaccination.

Oh yeah, like the people who died of natural causes when autopsy discovered covid. But, no feeble old fart's death could have been sped along by this covid shot.

Oh, wait...
 
We get it, man. You work in the medical field. No one expects you to admit this is nothing more than a money thing. Why would you say anyone is dying from it? But, plenty of people with heart disease, cancer, blunt force trauma from automobile accidents, all died FROM covid.

Yeah....

For the 5th time in this thread. February to April of 2020 you are correct. Presumptive positives were a thing. Since late April of 2020 any patient that passed through a hospital had a lab based covid test. So deaths were VERY accurate.
 
You're shocked that the F'N New York Post is fake news? I mean, I know that the Hunter Biden laptop was big for them....but....

For the umpteenth time, the fact that those "were thing" is why anyone with any critical thinking skill, on this topic*, thinks anything else now and beyond is all BS. You are a critical thinker on many things not meth related, so, shirley you van understand that.

Dying and having a positive test does NOT mean that 'rona was the cause of death. Stage 4 cancer patients who have a positive test posthumously did NOT die FROM the coronavirus. They died WITH the coronavirus. Ditto for a substantial number of other fatalities.

I agree. Do you grasp the "excess deaths" better than that aggie slinging guy? That highlights the actual impact of COVID - on actual covid patients and non covid patients (suicide, untreated cardiology, etc.).

:smokin: So now all lab based Covid tests are VERY accurate! :facepalm:

Quit wasting our time! PCR test was amplified 42+ times when the Novel Prize winning inventer of the PCR test, Dr Keri Mullis, who despised Fauci, said 6 was the max.
Of course Dr Mullis tragically died right before Covid started. He also said it would not work for any corona virus. CDC is completely changing the test in Jan 2022.
 
Can we use this thread to litigate a very important issue that maybe we can all get to a bipartisan agreement on?

Is it Aggy or Aggie?

I have always broke it down like this:
Aggy = A&M
Aggie = OSU
Sand Aggy = Tech

The hospital lab tests? Hell yes they're accurate.

Can we move over to the Biden accountability thread where everyone can feel virtuous by attacking Biden’s ineptness?
 
Oh yeah, like the people who died of natural causes when autopsy discovered covid. But, no feeble old fart's death could have been sped along by this covid shot.

Oh, wait...

Wait...the vaccine can "speed" death but Covid can't be attributed to the death if there is comorbidity factors? Anyone see the self-serving logic?
 
Who are you quoting? A strawman?

Every time you hit bottom, you keep digging. All I did was illustrate how your own linked information disproved the claims made by fear-mongering fools that claim ICU's are being overwhelmed. Short answer is that they are not.

Are you saying that Texas always operates at a higher capacity than the rest to the country? Just want to get that on record before I prove to you that's not the case.

Have no idea about the all of the rest of the nation, but Texas and many others DO typically run near capacity. Even other posters made this point, to which your reply was to act as if Memorial was some rinky-dink operation. Odd way to speak of the largest hospital system in the area, with multiple facilities across Harris and surrounding Counties. Again, you would know who Memorial was if you had a clue about the Great State of Texas.

This makes absolutely zero sense. I'm going to assume you are at happy hour and not at work. "Statewide numbers don't tell the whole picture"? Then the detour to a topic not even addressed about immigration? Please try again to make the point more clearly.

I don't generally do happy hours. And I was not drinking in the office yesterday, although we are definitely a drinking office, with a few bottles to be found in everyone's office.

Tell me what South Texas has to do with North Texas or what West Texas has to do with East Texas. I'll help you- not a fooking thing. There is a reason the State is broken down into multiple TSA's, which you choose to ignore. I tend to focus on Q since that is where Harris County happens to fall, but I also have watched T and V, which is the same part of the State being overrun by the illegal aliens streaming across the border unchecked (or at least unchecked pending implementation of the Remain In Mexico policy that the Court has ruled must be reinstated).

I'm showing you exactly what the Texas Department of Health and Human Services is showing. You don't like screenshots and links to the actual data? Could that be because it doesn't fit your narrative? You're more than welcome to bring your own data to the table because so far you've made a bunch of claims like "tracking the ICU capacity daily" and yada yada yada but showing no evidence. Please tell me again that 93% ICU capacity utilization across the state and 50% Covid usage (of the ICU) is not statistically significant when it's beyond all but 4-5 states in the country, by a sizable margin. It's near equal Florida at the moment.

I don't have to show a screenshot. I look each day and make my notes when DSHS has updated their site. Regional data is ALSO shown on there and is what is relevant to Texans. Only the fear-mongering control freaks and idiots look at a Statewide number.

I find your failure to understand numbers to be as laughable as the idiots at CNN who panicked people over Iraan and a claimed 42% positivity rate in a town of 1200 people. Sounds scary. Only it turns out that what the 42% represented was actually 50 positive tests across a two-week period of time involving 119 people tested. So, it was actually 42% of roughly 10% of the town. But saying four percent are positive just doesn't strike the same level of fear in people.

The story about Iraan is the same fear-pandering that you lap up as though it was a 55-gallon drum of grape flavor-aid. Only instead of dying, you simply regurgitate it as if it was fact.

Here's your chance...prove me wrong but please bring evidence not claims to the conversation. Hint, on that same site are individual facilities. Houston has 1 facility with 30 open ICU beds, while the rest are at or near 100% capacity. Of course, this is ALL NORMAL. That's how Houston medical centers operate, right? They operate at near or at 100% capacity all the time, or so you keep claiming without any data as evidence.

Houston and the surrounding area which comprise Trauma Service Area Q had 60 ICU beds available as of yesterday's update. You COULD have confirmed this on the DSHS site if you had a clue about how to extract the very easily accessible data. You chose not to do so. You ALSO ignore that not every facility is even considered in some of the articles you have 'reviewed.'

What does this have to do with the price of tea in China?

You don't think small private facilities that are not always included in the 'official' numbers are relevant to the discussion? That confirms people like you ARE the problem.

I've been here since 1999, Austin 360 before we all migrated to Hornfans. The political discussion used to be deep with strong debate skills. Still missing ScipioTex, Pheonix Horn and those like them dearly (RIP all). It was a time when respectful conversations of people from a variety of backgrounds were the norm on West Mall.

How long you had been on the site was NOT the issue. You seem to have no grasp of things IN the Great State of Texas. Hell, you don't know jurisdictions, you don't know corporations, and you seem not to understand that El Paso County is very different from Bowie County which is certainly different from Starr County...and NONE of those are EVER going to be confused with Loving County or even Dallam and Hartley Counties...
