So, I'm not "vaccinated". If I get sick from covid, you don't care, but I am supposed to care about not getting covid to save ICU beds for drug addicts, fat asses, etc.
In the USofA the deaths are happening with two groups. 1. A group you may have heard of - the unvaccinated. 2. Elderly people (particularly nursing home residents) who were vaccinated in the first wave. Their immunity is waning a bit and so are their workers that are vaccinated and have some that aren't. The R0 for delta is high.
I'd think you would like to avoid an ICU and wouldn't care much what I thought about it. A guy getting his vaccine put it to our nurse this way - "I pretty much ignored it until you broke it down for me this way...I could get this virus and be pretty danged sick, maybe even needing to go into the hospital. If I got this shot, I still might get it but if I do, I might feel like I have a flu but I'm likely not going to have to worry about the worst case scenario. That seemed like a good choice."
Until ICU usage is lower than the vaccination rate it's not worthless. 95% of people at that point are not vaccinated. Couple that with a 50% vaccination rate that skews older and that's SIGNIFICANT. If you can't see that I don't know how you're going to make it at an SEC school.
I wish the data could be parsed a little. To me, data pre/post vaccination access is significant. Garmel is pissing all over the northeast and they're not the culprit now. I'd like to cut it up and compare states based on their vaccination rates before/after April of 2021.
When will you get that the overwhelming majority of people, um, like you and me, who get the kung flu, don't even come close to needing and ICU much less even knowing they ever had the stupid *** virus to begin with?
End up in an ICU? I mean, that's the drum they keep beating.
********. While, you can argue that some of those vaccines are that way, a good flu vaccine is 50% effective due to the variation in the virus. The positive is that it gives your body a little of the virus so your antibodies already have some tools.
Side effects > Death
50% effective? So we would have even more than the 30,000 annual flu deaths in the US without the concoction?
My organization did a flu mandate November 2019. I lost one staff member to it (she quit, didn't die).
Talking bigger than just your office. Why no outrage annually over the thousands of US flu deaths? No flu patients ever end up in ICUs? Is the kung flu push to allow room for the flu victims, which, there aren't anymore. You either have kung flu or nothing, it seems.
1) Flu shots are not marketed as a 'vaccine.'
1. All of the links to influenza refer to it as a vaccine.
