Could this be why the flu shots didn’t work? Multiple strains of the virus.
so if there end up being 1000 strains of this virus, would you suggest we get 1000 vaccines?
Bye Bye COVID

You are the winner of this thread, common sense at its finest, Covid is here forever, just like the flu, not much different, healthy body fights the flu and it will fight Covid just fine
Ummm....1.5% of the US population is 5 million, not 500,000. It’s still horrific, but it’s 10x less.
Yeah, just want we need. More government interference in our lives. How did that work out for Cuomo's electorate?
How many of those 500k death were folks who going to die in the next year anyway. There's a good percentage that were - not the majority - but a hefty number were likely. Look at the age distribution. God Bless'm. Only He knows our time, but once you hit about 72, every day is a gift. 88% who have died are 70 and over.
It's .15% of the population. Not 1.5%
Australia is a friggin island with a small population spread out over thousands of miles. Might want to chose a better example.
Hate to break it to you, but there is a dollar value associated with life.
I'm sorry. Obviously basic math isn't your strong suit.

A lady I work with who has a very serious auto immune disease contracted Covid . She was admitted to the hospital and I thought she was likely a gonner. She got the transfusion and was back home a couple of days later. Therapeutic treatment is where it’s at. There shouldn’t even be a pandemic.
You pointed out zero math in the post I responded to. Dont apologize for being a snowflake who can't make a coherent point with quality or logic.
The government and society has rustled you beyond repair.
Wow trigger. Reading comprehension isn't your forte either. Perhaps you should read the entire thread. I can tell you are a little high strung about the virus. Just stay in your basement and you will be okay.
Yup Covid-21 is the most infectious one yet.
Your math is "well they are old so they were gonna die". Yikes. How did the government or anyone else not listen to your sound logic?
Next time dont scream and yell when someone asks you to put a mask on. It embarrasses your family, Karen.
Someine may have already said this but from what i understand, Covid will never go away. Its not like Smallpox where we get a vaccine that just effectively eradicates it, we will have new strands every year just like the flew. Maybe our bodies will get more used to fighting it so the results wont always be so severe but we will always be dealing with it
He saw his shadow or something?
@TheValley91 gets triggered easily, is a known attacker of 1 sentence or misspelling in your post, obviously was breast fed until age 6 or 7, yet still worries about his immune system. Not known for taking a full post in context 😂😂
Please READ the article! The big point being made was Natural Immunity! I know more than a dozen people that have had Covid. Those people ALL fall into the category of Natural Immunity. Beyond them are asymptomatic and people with immune systems that fight off the virus and it doesn't infect them at all.
The argument being made is the contribution to "herd immunity" by natural is much greater than what is being presented to us in the general press. Get the people over 65 (70 seems to the the age at which the majority of people have a significant drop off in their immune systems) immunized (given the shot). Take care of that group and those with co-morbidity, and the death rate goes below the common flu.
A word on the vaccines: There are two numbers: how effective is a given vaccine in preventing infection and MORE IMPORTANTLY how much does the vaccine prevent death. The second number becomes important in regards to the mutations. Stop the spread, but continue to get everyone willing to be vaccinated. If you are fat or smoke heavily and choose to not take a vaccine, then you enter the genetic lottery of natural selection.

No not 500,000. A large portion of those listed were people who died with the virus not from the virus. Also roughly half the people who died were in nursing homes- median length If stay in a nursing home is about six months. They don’t go home they die. Avg age of death in the US is 78 and avg of 2.6 deadly illnesses (comorbidity factors)
why is it people still can’t see the truth?
95% of infected have mild to zero symptoms. The other five percent are mostly older/very unhealthy people.

This thread...
The rest of your posts provided plenty enough evidence but this basically seals it that you're out of your f*cking mind, at least when it comes to this virus, but I suspect in general as well.
It is .15%--sorry wrote that wrong.
1 in every 600 americans has died from COVID.
Yeah Australia is a giant island--lol. NZ--yeah, you can make that argument, not Australia.
How many deaths from Covid in Australia since Nov.? Guess...
.....
Two. Just two.
So much winning in the USofA.
I wrote 1.5% wrong. I have edited it is .15%.
Please, do tell--what else is wrong? I'll wait...
Perhaps look at all nations that are islands or peninsulas that don’t have a cross able land border,you’ll notice that most have very few cases and deaths. Australia has done a good job, no doubt, but it also has unique conditions that the US doesn’t have. Not following root causes on the positive end makes you equivalent to those who don’t follow them on the negative end.
People get flu shots every year, yes, because they update the vaccinations based on what strains they expect to be prevalent. And flu vaccines do work, just not as well as these COVID vaccines. This is a novel virus, and there aren't nearly as many strains. The vaccines that have been developed are still pretty effective against some of the new strains, though. Sure, I would get a booster every year if it turns out we need to.
It's impossible to argue with people who say stupid things like "That's why flu vaccines don't work." That guy, like a lot of people on this board, simply don't know shit about vaccines.
It seems like they live in a more exciting world, where nearly everybody except internet prophets of corruption and malice is trying to fool us, than the rest of us.
