The Vaccine

[haknslash]

I love this comedian

This is how life really is....which is scary AF right now lol. One of the best comments of that video was “Earlier this summer I got sunburnt because someone around me wasn’t wearing their sunscreen”. Lol that sums it up nicely just how asinine this whole mandate thing is.

Flu shot has been around for how long? Not really an apples to apples comparison IMO. Even then, you made the choice to go into a career that you knew they may force things like mandatory flu shots. Same as military In that sense. That is not the same as forcing that upon everyone or every company around the world.

Yeah, that's kinda my point. I made that choice to have this job. Shots go with the job. Honestly I've done a lot of thinking about this on my pillow. And I understand the sentiment that this should not be forced on everyone. I don't know what the solution to this mess is. Sadly we don't have everyone on board with trying to beat the virus.

I do strongly feel that for some occupations the vaccine needs to be required. Healthcare, military, and law enforcement at the top of the list.

yeah, not really tho. not the same thing. But that is yet another example of Brandolini's law.

In your hospital setting, I think going into that field, shots would be an expectation. My wife who just manages a dental network from home, did not have that expectation. (Same for 1000s of companies with government contracts. Make microchips for weapons or planes... gotta get vaccinated!

Not only that but it goes far beyond employers and employees. See NYC for example. There’s also the horrible media pundits throwing in their 2 cents of virtue signaling...

Ironically, Congress gets a pass on the mandate.
So much for leadership by example (and a great way to create more distrust)

In today’s upside down identity world, everyone should just say they identify as legislative branch members. Tomorrow they can go back to identifying as a cat, or whatever it is they identify as

Legislative branch is not under executive control, but it would go a long way to building trust that they were subject to osha mandates affecting work place. After all, is a work place with people packed in tight.

Best way to lead is by example, eat the dog food you make.

Lets not forget the Judicial Branch. Hell even the post office is exempt. How ironic is it that the Judges that will decide if the mandate is constitutional don't have to abide by the very same law. There is a war going on against the working man in case you haven't noticed.

There are only 3 senators that aren't vaccinated.

Vaccinated people can carry the virus if infected, but are 6 times less likely to be infected. So the more vaccinated people we have, the more we quash this virus. So not getting vaccinated is just another indicator of the lack of caring people have for one another. And the bs conspiracy theories those same people latch onto to defend their selfish position is pathetic.

Thankfully we have a majority of intelligent and selfless people in the US that are helping reduce the virus! And Thankfully we have some of the best healthcare minds able to guide us through this. If only we could separate politics from healthcare. But unfortunately that will never happen so we are stuck with politicians just spouting bs that they think we WANT to hear vs the truth.

Lastly....people complaining about "so called science", and how it changes, Clearly failed HS science and missed the whole section on the "scientific method". The great thing about the scientific method is its willingness and encouragement to be challenged.

I've been at the hospital now since Wed and am very thankful for all these amazing staff! All vaccinated. All practicing containment measures ALL THE TIME. Its so easy....and not worth listening to and getting sucked into all the anti vax BS.

And thankfully the total number of unvaccinated declines every day.....which bodes well for a happier new year!

BS

It is about money. I’ve worked with people packed in tight with hundreds of people nearly this whole damn time. For nearly 2+ years!

Please explain how the person next to you vaccine status has any bearing on your health. Don’t give me the line about hospitals being overrun either as we’ve seen that both with nearly 100% vaccinated countries and unvaccinated populations. There is no metric you can show that definitively makes sense.

 

[haknslash]

So the more vaccinated people we have, the more we quash this virus.

Where are you getting this info from? This is not true at all. Would you like me to show you the countries with nearly full vaccination that are dealing with the highest spikes ever since the beginning of the pandemic?

Vaccinated vs. unvaccinated: Federal data shows the number of COVID-19 breakthrough cases

According to the CDC, unvaccinated people were six times more likely to contract the virus.

Less likely to test positive for Covid if you are vaccinated 7X. Disagree? If so what do you base it on?

I base it on data. The unbiased kind of course. I'll give you 2 examples but there are more.

I would love to read a scientific paper that argues, and statistically shows, that vaccines aren't reducing the spread of covid. I love to read challenges like this!

Ok....and your conclusion is that vaccines arent working because of those two charts????? REALLY?

 

[Bruce]

I guess I should not be, but I am surprised that out of the 20% of American adults that are not yet vaccinated that we have so much whining in this thread.

 

[Beachbummer]

Remember if 95% population is vaccinated and you are only 7X less likely to be infected by vaccinating, You would still see a 2-1 ratio or greater of vaccinated new cases...You have just vaccinated so many, there are too few unvaccinated left to show up.

Unvaccinated: 736 cases for every 100,000 people.
Vaccinated people accounted for 121 cases for every 100,000 people.

Example...
1,000,000
95% vaccination 950,000 - 121 sick per 100K= = 1149 Sick
5% unvaccinated 50,000 - 736 sick per 100K = 368 sick

OMG, Look at all the sick people that got vaccinated. Horrible.. OR Look, if they had NOT vaccinated, we would have see 7360 Sick instead.

Both are true, how do you read it?

Wild Theory (They are fun...at least)

Any chance this spreads from and into animals in a way that is affecting these wild swings?

Iowa study: 82.5% of deer tested positive for COVID-19

When researchers in Iowa first began testing deer for COVID-19 in April of 2020, they didn’t find any signs of the virus for months. That changed in the fall when the first positives popped up in September and October.

Any speculation? Maybe matches Hunting season?
