Not trying to be a jerk, but I would assume that masking,distancing,additional sanitation practices, checking temps etc probably lead to a big reduction in influenza.
I will be shocked if this season goes off as planned

Why would an unvaccinated person be the reason for a virus to mutate to a variant that the vaccine didn’t work against? That’s like someone who has never taken antibiotics being the reason for bacteria to develop resistance to antibiotics. That makes no sense.
As many have stated, the issue doesn’t lie within vaccinated vs not, that’s all politicized. The issue is the general health status of Americans. Smoking, alcohol, obesity, processed foods, etc.
People who are legitimately healthy and take care of their bodies and control what they put in them, don’t need a vaccine. Sadly, that’s a very small percentage but doesn’t mean those individuals should be ostracized for declining a vaccine.
vaccinated individuals are likely the biggest carriers at this point. Yeah there’s a large percentage of non-vaccinated patients currently. Who do you think gave it to them?

Every time the virus replicates there's a tiny chance of mutation. The unvaxxed make up the significant majority of cases.
Where have you been??? Since the beginning unvaccinated have been shitting on the “libs”, “weak minded”, “unAmerican” people that were in favor of listening to the CDC and wear masks. The condescension was disgusting even as the mostly avoidable death toll was climbing and hundreds of thousands of people died. There was a sense of pride, that one’s freedom was more important than other people’s lives, inconvenience was not acceptable and it was okay to contaminate loved ones and neighbors. The arguments were astounding, “people were old and going to die anyway”. This board was a shitshow of conspiracy theories and personal attacks.
Now the same people are refusing the free vaccine, getting sick, and clogging up the healthcare system. I take no enjoyment in that AT ALL. I feel truly sad for their loved ones who will be paying for the “choice” of their dying relatives. But please don’t tell me that calling out that choices have consequences is “gloating”. People with real balls own their choices and the related consequences. How many of the non-vaccinated are pledging to not go to the hospital if they get sick or to pay for the costs out of pocket since they chose to refuse the free option? None of them are. So for all the ‘’’Murica”, “freedom” chanting from the anti-medical establishment crowd, they sure like socialism when it’s convenient. Let other pay the price for your needs… if you don’t see how hypocritical that is, I don’t know what to tell you…
Well the CDC just came out and said the nasal swab can’t fully tell the difference between Covid and flu
CDC encourages use of new tests that detect both COVID-19 and the flu
The FDA has approved roughly 280 PCR coronavirus tests, which determine whether sequences from the viruses’ RNA genome are present in a patient’s nasal swab.

Sarcasm too obvious? I will try and be more subtle next time
What the hell happened to "Herd Immunity"?? Did it get infected too????
I know a 60 year old fit woman who tested positive, eventually went to hospital and was treated similarly and felt better within hours. She told me if I get it, ask for the monoclonal antibody.
Replication creates mutations. In unvaccinated bodies it’s free to mutate/replicate.
In vaccinated bodies, even with Delta, that replication is cut very, very short in the vast majority of cases.
A bunch of unpatriotic and selfish people who will only further perpetuate this situation we’re in with stubbornness. They don’t care about their fellow Americans (or anyone else) half as much as they claim to. If they did, they’d get the vaccine and take steps to mitigate the spread of the virus.
I find those numbers to be bogus. I have several patients of mine that have come down with Covid in the last 2 months. At least half had received the vaccine.
How could a treatment for Covid be short supply but we've got excess vaccine?
More difficult to produce?
Pretty infuriating because I've known a few people who got the antibody treatment and they felt better immediately.
Not at all my MAGA terrorists sympathizer friend after all Trump or Biden had nothing to do with the actually creation of the vaccine.
Actually I am more concerned for Clemson being vaccinated so they can win the ship this year. Everyone else who is Anti vaxx I can only hope they suffer the consequences and share it on social media like Radical catholic Raymond Burke 😈
Even the Pope is having to address this issue in the U.S., calling getting vaccinated an “act of love”.
Message from the Pope
But, hey, what does the Pope really know about religion and compassion, right?
I get not everyone is Catholic, but you would think the Bible Belt would lead the country in acts of love and compassion based on religious beliefs and morals, shouldn’t it?
C19 is real, dangerous and not going anywhere. But only deadly for a very small percentage of people, sad as that is.
If only we could all just agree on these facts and individually decide how to handle it.
Some people need a little perspective on sickness and death.
Maybe ride along with a EMS or Fire crew and see just how many sick (non c19) people there are and how many different ways people die. Trust me it may help you put things into perspective.

Insurance money is a huge motivating factor for everything hospitals and dr offices do.
Not saying they are recommending vaccines to keep insurance companies backing them, just providing another reason.
Dr’s offices and hospitals have been more about that than their fellow man for at least 30 years.
If that were the topic of conversation all across the country and world, yes. Why not??
Look if we’re going to spout off partial numbers here and there that gets everyone upset with each other, why not share it all so everyone can make a logical, informed decision. Unfortunately that makes sense and in today’s world that is apparently not allowed.
I haven’t got the shot. But I have already had covid , therefore based on what research is out there and depending on what time and what day I should have antibodies
I believe they use total cases since this all began as a reference, meaning probably 30,000,000 cases were from the unvaxed.
Over the last month I believe 1 in 5 cases are from vaccinated people.
A big problem is the way the CDC and local health officials present numbers to bolster their position.
I'm vaxed and I firmly believe it helps with total cases, hospitalizations and deaths but the numbers presented are bogus and not a real time snapshot of what is happening.
Numbers came from a July 26th CDC article. See below for one from 8/9
https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/health-departments/breakthrough-cases.html
As of August 9, 2021, more than 166 million people in the United States had been fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
During the same time, CDC received reports from 49 U.S. states and territories of 8,054 patients with COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough infection who were hospitalized or died.
Total number of vaccine breakthrough infections reported to CDC
�
| Hospitalized or fatal vaccine breakthrough cases reported to CDC | 8,054 | |
|---|---|---|
| Female | 3,856 | (48%) |
| People aged ≥65 years | 5,928 | (74%) |
| Asymptomatic infections | 1,400 | (17%) |
| Hospitalizations* | 7,608 | (94%) |
| Deaths† | 1,587 | (20%) |
Percentage of breakthrough cases that resulted in death or hospitalization in the vaccinated population = .0048518%
Percentage of breath cases that resulted in death in the vaccinated population = .000956%
Just me guessing here, but Im willing to bet that those asymptomatic deaths were folks who died WITH covid not OF covid.

There is just so much bad information out there. Rational, intelligent people are being fed misinformation and it’s causing them to make harmful decisions for their health and this country. It’s almost like someone is intentionally feeding this misinformation to us….. hmmm….CDC encourages use of new tests that detect both COVID-19 and the flu
The FDA has approved roughly 280 PCR coronavirus tests, which determine whether sequences from the viruses’ RNA genome are present in a patient’s nasal swab.
Russia and China without question ..... and probably those 8Chan aholes who created the whole QANON crap
I'm not sure that it's not. She is a regular person...very nice person, but not an elite anything.
Serious question, does it still fall in to the category of a vaccine when you need a booster less than a year later. Seems very different from what I have historically thought about as a vaccine. Not comparing the severity of the two diseases but seems more like the “vaccine” is more like an annual flu shot.
Harvard doctor on now talking about the focus needs to be on therapeutics and not so much on vaccine
It’s completely new applied technology. Never been done before.
But I think it does meet the technical definition because it has mRNA from Rona Spike Protein (meaning it has some portion of the Virus).
Pretty much all Vaccines are different as Diseases/Pathogens are different.
Perhaps a category of Therapeutic Vaccine makes sense.
Thank you for saying this. I too am a conservative and vote republican but believe in vaccines and masks for our children that can't get vaccinated. Amazing there are 2 of us. I believe in a mandate for masks and vaccines. Putting a mask on your face is not taking away your rights when it is for the common good. It's no different to me than not smoking indoors.
This is not political. I'm so sick of it. A mask is a mask is a mask. And as far as tbr vaccine, would you rather contract a virus made in a Chinese lab to kill you or an American made vaccine to protect you? The data is there by now to know the vaccine is the safer option.
Unfortunately, it's going to take kids dying for people to take this seriously and get vaccinated and that's where we are headed.
