Agreed, each individual should do their own risk assessment. High risk or concerned, get the vax. Low risk, don't get it if you don't want.

Fwiw this story mentions it would be hard to determine a vaccine related cause of death. Still, there are many of these stories, coincidental or not. "Dr. Erik Christensen, Utah's chief Medical Examiner, said proving vaccine injury as a cause of death almost never happens." https://kutv.com/news/local/utah-woman-39-dies-4-days-after-2nd-does-of-covid-19-vaccine-autopsy-ordered

Wintry out there this morning. 3.25" on the deck.

Pretty sure the answer to this is because a vaccinated person can still get covid. Their vaccine doesn't work unless you have one too..like the masks..

Do they ever release any more details on the trial groups? Did they pick the most healthy kids or was asthma, obesity, mixed ethnicity etc mixed in too (most vulnerable)? The 100% would mean more if we know more about the group.

Agreed, the way he (and some others) approach this is not how you get anything done. For example, the reply @mattb65 gave me was a well constructed reply with a few reasons on why you would change your mind on the covid vaccine. This is the message that those on the fence need to see, not a computer tough guy calling people idiots or stupid. That only inflames tensions. I realize most don't agree with my views, but it is interesting that forced vaccinations and vaccine passports seem to be a more common (for the most part) agreement.

Lol. Seems to be the new trend. You don't like the view, attack it, and censor it.

Agreed

Please share. It's been through a normal vaccine approval phase?

There are others that need the vaccine way more than I do (high risk, elderly, those living in fear and need it to get on with their lives etc). To go along with that, yes, I may reconsider at some point. The other part is just a general distrust for a rushed vaccine that hasn't shown much benefit yet (outside of those with high risk)

Nope. Reading problems?

I'm not anti vax. I'm anti covid vaccine thanks.

Agreed. It doesn't matter what side of the fence you're on with regards to the vaccine, these passports are a dangerous precedent.

Not sure of age, but this sure keeps popping up (more of what is already known)

The OG China variant getting some attention https://www.yahoo.com/news/former-cdc-director-redfield-says-130733234.html

There is valid evidence that Vitamin D does help reduce infection risk or the outcome in some. Goes along with the "staying healthy" theme = much lower risk. https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2021/03/vitamin-d-may-prevent-covid-especially-black-patients

Huh? I'm saying, when mask mandates were in place, everywhere got a big spike this winter. The mask mandates made no difference. Are you blaming those massive spikes on holiday family get togethers? Sure wasn't from the Walmart or grocery stores, as masks are required there.

Crazy how the mask mandates made cases increase shortly after.

Unfortunate, yes. Surprising, no. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_pharmaceutical_settlements

Good stuff "95% Of Americans Who Contract Coronavirus Do Not Require Hospitalization, Study Says" "Studies have shown that US media in particular created a climate of fear by publishing a deluge of negative news in 2020. One Ivy League-led study found that 91 percent of US stories in major media were negative in tone (compared to just 54 percent in non-US media)—even when the virus was in retreat and positive results were being achieved." https://www.thewashingtongazette.com/2021/03/americans-are-wildly-misinformed-about.html?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=socialshare&m=1

Hopefully everyone chooses to do this in moderation and it doesn't enable the already poor American diet.. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/krispy-kreme-free-doughnut-every-day-2021-covid-19-vaccination-card/

Lol that sounds terrible. Probably the same people that wear them in their cars.

Careful with that ..... lol

Angry lead by example, ok

Are you really this dumb or pretending? Ok I get the China points, I'm talking about the variants. Those terms are often used in here by those of web forum seniority. If you don't like the terms quit using them. Lead by example.
