I had that thought but I don think medical professionals can be forced to do something that goes against their training, expertise, and knowledge. |
Meanwhile police officers openly brag about slacking off on the job as a form of passive protest to vaccine mandates. |
CDC just announced that unvaccinated are 11times more likely to die of covid than vaccinated. So, is this like a slate cleaner for republicans? The moderate Republicans getting the vaccine while the maga loyalists all die? It is one way to get zealots out of your party - let them join a death cult and just keep on dying.
If the only people who did not get vaccinated were trump voters, I think I could say “you be you cra-cra.” |
Guess we might as well defund them, if that's the case! |
they seem to be doing a great job defunding themselves. |
This isn't someone who has Covid, yet the story fits the "hoisted with their own petard" theme of this thread.
An Alaska state senator pitched a fit refusing to comply with mask mandate at airport and so has been banned from Alaska Airlines indefinitely. It is the only airline now flying from Juneau to Anchorage (where her district is located). Best paragraphs are the last two: "While it’s possible to drive from Anchorage to Juneau — and Reinbold said she has made the trek herself after the ban — it’s an arduous journey of about 800 miles that takes two days of travel. It starts with several hundred miles of Alaska Route 1, a narrow wilderness highway with some tight curves and few passing lanes. The next leg crosses the Canadian border and cuts through the Yukon. Then, it’s a relatively quick hop to Haines, Alaska, on the southern coast. From there, it’s a four-hour ferry ride to the state capital." Ha ha ha ha! https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/09/11/lora-reinbold-alaska-mask-airline/ |
CDC also doesn’t recognize natural immunity from infection |
Because FB is never wrong or fake |
Only the vaccine works. That’s it. |
How do you identify people with “natural immunity”? By their Aryan features? |
I went to check out that guy's FB page and it looked totally real. The wife's comments looked real. |
If you want to get a feel for who is dying in the red states - this Twitter feed tells you all you need to know. https://mobile.twitter.com/HermanCainAward
Just wow. You can’t make this up. So many vehement anti-vaxs now dead and gone. |
Because it’s all over the map. Some studies seem to indicate it’s long lasting and a strong defense against covid, other studies indicate it’s fleeting and less robust than the response from vaccine immunity, some sources say the strength of it depends on how severe the initial case was. It’s not a guarantee at all. Get vaccinated. |
The monoclonal antibodies show quite a bit of promise, particularly if given early on in the course of the disease. They are readily available. |
NP. That’s true, but administrating monoclonal antibodies requires hospitalization, and in some places, they don’t have the staff to take more patients, so you can’t count on having easy access to treatment once you’ve already got covid. |
