Glad to see that you are still promoting HCQ despite most of the MAGA/Covid isn't real/FREEDOM world moving on from that particular line of BS. Good for you for never changing your opinion.
Who says I'm not protecting free speech. No one is preventing you from making yourself look like an idiot. I'm just choosing to use my free speech to point out when you sounds like a dumbass

I almost missed this gem. Are you claiming that big pharma is burying the cure for cancers? Please elaborate for our entertainment.
WTF does this have to do with any previous conversation in this thread besides being about Covid? Thanks for playingFrom npr so totally fing legit...
New Studies Find Evidence Of 'Superhuman' Immunity To COVID-19 In Some Individuals
That's how some scientists describe the findings of a series of studies looking at the antibodies created by individuals who were infected by the coronavirus and then had an mRNA vaccine.

Haha, you can post all the nonsense you want. Vaccines are coming for you tooMaybe one of you smart people can do the math here for me as explained by this Japanese immunologist.
What is 90% of 1% anyway?
Should you rush to get a COVID-19 vaccination? One specialist in Japan says he won't - The Mainichi
Two major U.S. pharmaceutical companies racing to develop novel coronavirus vaccines have announced that their vaccines have been confirmed to be overmainichi.jp
Sounds to me like the most effective course with the least risk is 1) Get Vaxxed, 2)Have a mild case of Covid.
Then you should feel free to infect everyone with a BMI over 30 with no shame! 😅
Why do we keep having this conversation? Yes, the vaccinated can spread it but they are less likely to become infected in the first place.

"Pfizer and Moderna’s vaccines, the most widely administered shots in the U.S., are only about 10% effective at preventing symptomatic infection from omicron 20 weeks after the second dose. Booster doses, however, increase protection and are up to 75% effective at preventing infection two to four weeks after receiving a third shot."
Omicron hospitalization risk lower than delta, vaccines provide good protection, U.K. study says
The U.K. Health Security Agency found the risk of hospitalization for people infected with omicron is about a third the risk posed by the delta variant.www.cnbc.com
We all agree that your first sentence is a good reason to get vaccinated and maybe it will become true that everyone will get Omicron - but maybe they won't. However, even if a vaccinated person becomes infected, they generally have a lower viral load after a couple days and shed less virus. Now multiply that by everyone in the population and math will explain it.Thoughts on the rest?
For the healthy under 40 crowd, am I to assume we have abandoned death, hospitalization, burden on the healthcare system and many other reasons to get vaccinated? And the only remaining, reasonably compelling reason is to reduce the likelihood of infection by an unconfirmed %, even while many double and triple vaxxed people are getting it and spreading it?
Pretty much my entire team is triple vaxxed. Most have had covid in the last month. None even live in the same city, so it's not some regional concentration. Half my household had it after Christmas. Each of us was sick for 24 hours. Everyone is getting this variant, symptoms are generally mild and we need to move on with our lives. If you are at high risk, take additional measures to protect yourself.
But hey, maybe I'm way off, and even though 4 shots don't seem to be working in this Israeli study, we should keep poking away and see if we can get a global mandate for 5 doses for extremely healthy, low-risk young people. That should do it.
Israel study: 4th vaccine shows limited results with omicron
An Israeli hospital says preliminary research indicates a fourth dose of the coronavirus vaccine provides only limited defense against the omicron variant that's raging around the worldabcnews.go.com
“Up to 75%” that’s better than nothing but I can assure you that 75% number is under the best of circumstances and is probably closer to 50/50.Why do we keep having this conversation? Yes, the vaccinated can spread it but they are less likely to become infected in the first place.
