If only there was a repurposed medication, available right now, that had a proven history of safety, long term use and demonstrated efficacy in treating covid19.
WSJ stepping up with this article.
WSJ - "Why Is the FDA Attacking a Safe, Effective Drug?"
Another interesting read, especially for those of you scared for the kids. Hopefully this will help put you at ease!
RISK OF DYING OF COVID-19 IN THE USA, STRATIFIED BY AGE (DATA FROM THE CDC)The table below is from the CDC website and shows risk of dying of COVID-19 in the USA, stratified by age (1). Know your risks & take precautions, including getting a vaccine if you are in a vulnerable population.
Older age seems to be the highest risk factor but other risk factors include OBESITY, diabetes, heart disease, and more.
Around 400 children in the last 1.5 years have died from COVID-19.
According to a recent Nature article, almost all, if not all of these deaths were in high risk individuals, who had underlying conditions. See the article below for more details (2).
Children are still in a very low risk category for death and serious COVID-19 disease. As deaths of children have not increased substantially in the last month, this appears to hold true for the Delta variant also. Healthy, normal young adults also seem to be protected from severe COVID - excluding high risk individuals.
Know your risks and act accordingly.
If you or a family member(s) have issues with weight (which I also personally struggle with), please consider more exercise and weight reduction. This is one super healthy way to lower your risk factors.
Another way that may reduce risk is to make sure you getting enough vitamin D3. Overall, 41% of Americans are deficient (3). If you don’t want to over supplement, a simple blood test can determine your levels. Certain groups are more prone to deficiency. According to a 2012 study, these high risks groups include “blacks (82.1%), followed by Hispanics (69.2%)”. Vitamin D deficiency was significantly more common among those who had no college education, were obese, with a poor health status, hypertension, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level, or not consuming milk daily (all P < .001)" (3). Vitamin D status was inversely associated with mortality in a 2015 retrospective study, This association with deficiency was linked to mortality relating to digestive disease, endocrine, metabolic and nutritional diseases, and respiratory disease (4). If you are deficient in D3, supplementing with this vitamin is just a healthy thing to do.
A caveat: there is insufficient evidence to support using vitamin D3 for hospitalized COVID-19 patients, and there have been no studies showing vitamin D3 status prior to COVID-19 infection will change the severity or course of disease.

I don't think anyone is that worried about younger kids dying of coved (or I'm not), it's more about the effect on the development of their lungs and longer term health effects from that. Or for me, that's my particular worry. My one kid has fucked up breathing already, and would like it to not get any more fucked up.
Anywhoo, that's my take on the situation.

Am I interpreting this wrong? How would the viral load NOT be the same if you are vaccinated or not.Solution: Mandate masks that do nothing. Also, onto an age group that don't get sick or transmit it. Smart
So those experimental jabs sure are working great, yeah?, or is this more of a virtue signal?
This is high school level biology and high school level English Literature. What Yossi Gestetner posted is technically correct. But he is taking fact without putting it in a wider context of how a virus and vaccines work.
Lets look at it this way. If you get punched in the dick by Mike Tyson, it is going hurt very much. It might take you to the hopsital and in some cases kill ones dick.
Now if one wears some sort of sporting groin protector. The force of the punch is still the same. The groin protector will reduce your chance of going hospital and loosing ones knob.

We don’t know what we don’t know regarding long term effects of covid so I’d rather not have their tiny developing organs be infected by some virus if I can help it, even it’s essentially a certainty they won’t die.
We’ve made it this far, it would be a shame to have them pick it up at the grocery store or something because some dumbass with a confirmed case decides it’s a good idea to go get some milk and spreads it everywhere, all because government says they are allowed now. It would have been so easy and pragmatic to keep that simple rule “if you’re confirmed positive, isolate til you’re clear” in place. That’s all I’m saying.

Definitely an issue with C19 infection in older populations, still a consideration being discussed by experts to understand why neurological disorders increase in vaccinated populations.

The issue lies more with how many other people stand to be dick punched by Tyson in your general vicinity. And the powers that be have long been trying to convince us that wearing a groin protector is for everyone else. And fact of the matter is, it's not, it's for you and only you. There is no reason to continue with these lies any longer, groin protectors are readily available, if you want one then get one, if you don't want one then that's your choice but we should not be implementing nonsense controls in an effort to "protect" these people's dicks any longer. If you are in some weird situation where a groin protector won't fit you, then fuck you, you're on your own like you have always been.

When stupid things like that is posted. It really highlights the standard of education and if anyone paid attention in high school biology and English literature class. Its just shit stirring complete and utter bullshit. Im sorry it just is.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
As for the vaccine itself. I have posted this before. It was not long ago where there not any vaccines. My parents come from a place where children and people used to get sick and just die. Thats it. This was less than 60-70 years ago.
The powers that be are elected by us. Its not a dictatorship. This constant parade of us vs them. Oh give it a rest. Some of you all have never lived in a real dictatorship or democratic socialist government society to even argue us vs them. If people really gave shit, join the political party currently in office. One gets to vote on party polices and hold the party by the balls. Mention that to anyone and they start to get emotional and run for the hills. Its the lack of individual ownership in the system that gives the sense of dictatorship and allows the governments to overstep the mark at times.
The groin protector or vaccine IS for everyone else.
The idea if you don't get vaccinated you are on your own. I would say its more of a western 'individualism'. Societies in the east don't operate like that. They operate as a group, ever heard the term it takes a village to raise a child? There is a economic impact if a person gets very very sick in a village. He/She is not productive in that economy. There is a cost to the village as a whole in terms of lack economic output, loss of tax revenue, income earned, investment and it puts pressure on the rest of the villagers to care for the person(let alone the family itself). There are many factors involved.
My parents took me to India in 1986 and 88. That was the peak of Indira and Ranjiv Ghandi's Socialist/marxist polices that ran the country to the ground. There was no healthcare or vaccines. It was horse and cart. Both of them got assassinated in the end. Here in Canada one has food on the table, access to what I consider the best healthcare system in the world(in context of income and taxes). But yet to find the time to pick an argument of us vs them highlights how spoilte we have become in certain societies.
Sometimes I think there should be a person exchange program. Send someone with such ideas to the state of Uttarpradesh in India for a month or two. Its one of the most poorest states. Let one of those individuals come here. Then when the exchange finishes I wonder once the person returns to Canada will ever see things differently and have a bit more respect for what they have.

@tonytiger55 this is the second time I've seen the slight error in differentiating English Literature and English.
Your accusation is not about him misquoting Tennyson, Swift, Chaucer or Pope. Your accusation is about reading comprehension and that is the study of English and not the study of English Literature.
Am I helping to make that distinction more clear?

I don't know where this misplaced rant is coming from? I never made an us vs them argument. I said the government lies. If you want to deny that is true, then you're lying to yourself. But if you want to go down this unrelated road, let me ask you how many percent of the population voted for this current government regime that is making the rules right now? It's not a trick question, a simple look at the numbers tells you that the collective "we" did not elect these people. And of the people that did elect this regime, how many of them do you think foreseen a pandemic that would lead to their chosen elected officials enacting asinine rules based on lies and science denial?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

You're right about one thing, we don't live in a dictatorship. Which is exactly the point. People have personal autonomy here, so you can't force them to get the vaccine. Therefore we need to operate our society knowing full well that people need to live with the consequence of their actions. Trying to protect them from themselves at the expense of the personal autonomy of the majority is not the moral or sensible way to do that.

Its not a misplaced rant. Its a direct challenge to look at things from a wider angle with a international scope. When that it done, to me it highlights how ridiculous the argument is. I don't think your point should be shut down. No. I think it should be discussed.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
You are arguing a elected government is telling lies. In the wider context of managing the economy and the factors I have mentioned. I don't think they are. When that is broadened to a international scope. Taking the vaccine does protect others in the context I have mentioned. They may not have used the correct wordings. There is without a doubt the vaccine protects others.
As for forcing people to take the vaccine. You raised a good point of discussion. Moral and sensible way to do something. Well the rights and freedoms you have are not actually free. Our society in Canada operate within set of rules and freedoms we give up.
Think if it like a arrogant teenager. You ask him to take out the garbage and empty the dishwasher. It is beneficial to do as the family unit operates more efficiently, instills discipline and allows everyone to have more freedoms. In wider context of ones neighbours and community. It then becomes a strong household and therfore able to deal with wider issues in the community. If the teenager refuses and goes on a rant. You push the parent to force the teenager. You clip/smack him/her around the ear and they are forced to take the dishes and garbage out.
If one is being forced to take the vaccine. Thats not the government, it is some citizens behaving like a teenager. So when the government looks at this in the context of protecting its citizens, economy and its position within the international community. Then yes, its going to clip the ear and force you to take the vaccine.
Now could that power be abused? Yes, thats why we have checks and balances. Is the opposition doing enough to keep the government in check? I don't think they are. That comes down to the citizens to create cases and challenge its elected representatives to do better. When was the last time you wrote to your provincial and federal member of parliament? When was the last time you created a evidenced based case? IF they don't take it on. Well now you have a case not to vote for them and convince others not to either.
As for the argument that we did not elect these people. This is a fantastic discussion. This is more to do with not understanding how our electoral and parliament works.
We did not elect these people because we operate on a constituency parliamentary system. We don't live in the United States. We do not elect our leaders. We elect our local representatives in a first past the post system. The majority form a government or form alliances when there is a minority.
If we operated on voting directly by population. Then how would the minority have their voices heard in parliament? How would you have checks and balances to keep the majority in check? What type of system would you prefer to have in place that is better?
@ThePenIsMightier This is a very good question. Its a yes/no answer. But this made me think.this is the second time I've seen the slight error in differentiating English Literature and English.
Your accusation is not about him misquoting Tennyson, Swift, Chaucer or Pope. Your accusation is about reading comprehension and that is the study of English and not the study of English Literature.

I think it comes down to how we were taught English at school. There might be differences. Note this is going back to the early 90's and a lot has changed since then. (FYI My English is from the UK).
I will explain why I used the term English literature.
When we studied English literature(I feel old now), it was reading comprehension (and understanding in crazy detail) the needs, motives and manipulation etc. So when we studied Macbeth, we covered pages in crazy detail. My teacher had a white board and we would go over what a character says, what is he/she trying to do, its implications, needs, motives, we would question it, how does it fit into the wider context, the manipulation. What is really going on?
Now when I went to English class, we did not do this. That class was understanding puns etc. In history class we studied world war one and two and the buildup to the wars. When it came to looking at propaganda and understanding the manipulation. We used our questioning from English Literature class not from our English class. There was a crossover in English class in the early years I think. The school studied works 'Of Mice and Men' and 'Animal Farm' by George Orwell. Questioning was done in that too. I think the questioning became more structured, hardened and detailed in the Literature class and not the English class.
So when I looked at the tweet about the viral load being the same. I am using what I learned in English Literature class. The person who wrote the tweet is manipulating. So like in my English Literature class and Macbeth. I would ask, why would the viral load not be the same..? What is the intention of the person writing the tweet, his motives, his needs, who is he manipulating, what is the outcome he is seeking..?
In highchool we took two exams, English and English Literature. A year later, I went to college and along side my major I took a evening class and I re-did my English. There was no English Literature class anyone. It was just English. One exam.
It might have been reintroduced (someone else can chime in) I don't know.
In reflection now that I think about it. English Class was about our output, what we create. English Literature was about input, making sense, questioning, challenging of the literature to understand it.
Thats why I used the term English Literature. But I stand corrected if the term English is to be used instead.

Well, It's not like Ignored and Censored Doctors Didn't Warn of this. Months ago, Dr Geert Vanden Bossche and Dr. Hooman Noorchashm, sounded the alarm regarding potential harmful heath issues from the Experimental Jab
-Dr. Vanden Bossche is a vaccine research specialist, who has worked on vaccine discovery and preclinical research
-he had sent a paper to the WHO making a case to stop mass vaccinating ppl for Covid19
-"I am extremely concerned about the impact current Covid19 vaccines will have when increasingly deployed in mass vaccination campaigns in the heat of a pandemic"
-"The more we use these vaccines for immunizing people in the midst of a pandemic, the more infectious the virus will become"
-“One could only think of very few other strategies to achieve the same level of efficiency in turning a relatively harmless virus into a bioweapon of mass destruction", he warned

Got my second dose three days ago and have been in a state of flux of feeling moderately decent and then utter exhaustion and super high fever. Lots of body aches, overall weakness, headaches. I haven't felt this bad in a really, really long time. On the upswing I think, well fingers crossed.

Did you get Pfizer? I got it both times and my symptoms were very minimal. My arm was more sore the second time but right around the 24hr mark it started feeling better. No flu like symptoms and a little bit of tiredness. Probably has something to do with my high deadlift frequencyThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
