    *2020 is the deadliest year on record in the US.

    Over 522,000 more deaths than expected from comparing 5 previous years according to Virginia commonwealth university study. 

    Excess deaths can only be explained by pandemic. 

    *This is true.

    Nice article here; https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/why-covid-19-vaccines-should-not-be-required-for-all-americans

    Some quotes; "The notion that we have to vaccinate every living, walking American – and eventually every newborn – in order to control the pandemic is based on the false assumption that the risk of dying from COVID-19 is equally distributed in the population. It's not. We have always known that it's very hard for the virus to hurt someone who is young and healthy. And that's still the case."

    "Some people already have '' – that is, immunity from prior COVID infection. During every month of this pandemic, I've had debates with other public researchers about the effectiveness and durability of natural immunity. I've been told that natural immunity could fall off a cliff, rendering people susceptible to infection. But here we are now, over a year and a half into the clinical experience of observing patients who were infected, and natural immunity is effective and going strong. And that's because with natural immunity, the body develops antibodies to the entire surface of the virus, not just a spike protein constructed from a vaccine. The power of natural immunity was recently affirmed in an Israeli study, which found a 6.7 times greater level of protection among those with natural immunity vs. those with vaccinated immunity."

    A Cleveland Clinic  study found that vaccinating people with natural immunity did not add to their level of protection.

    The goal of our pandemic response should be to reduce death, illness and disability, but instead what you're seeing is a movement that has morphed from being pro-vaccine to vaccine fanaticism at all costs.

    In the last 30 days in Michigan;

    ---23.4% of covid cases have been the vaccinated.

    ---28.1% of hospitalizations have been the vaccinated.

    ---15.4% of the covid deaths have been the vaccinated.

    Michigan is 50% fully vaccinated (total population)

    I wonder what the numbers are for those with immunities from prior infections?? 

    We will never know!

    European database doesn't prove vaccines are lethal according to politifact.  Disclaimer cautions information on suspected side effects shouldn't be interpreted to mean vaccines cause effects or is unsafe to use.  Further investigation is needed before conclusions can be determined.

Over 522,000 more deaths than expected from comparing 5 previous years according to Virginia commonwealth university study.  Excess deaths can only be explained by pandemic.  Actually, covid deaths are under counted because many people are never tested. PCR tests are considered the gold standard for diagnosis by US center for disease control.  National institute of health study found PCR tests correctly diagnosed coronavirus in 97% of cases when properly used. No proof covid vaccines actually cause any more deaths than normally expected after investigations of VAERS reports.  Statistically inevitable that some people die for reasons unrelated to vaccination.  Association isn't causation.

    I disagree with this claim.

    Some quotes;

    When performed under laboratory conditions, the UK Government estimates that PCR tests should never show more than 5% false positives or 5% false negatives. However, studies performed under real-life conditions suggest false negatives may be more commonplace.

    Another study estimated that the probability of an infected person falsely testing negative on the day they contracted the virus was 100%, falling to 67% by day four of the infection. If they took a test on day five, the typical day people develop symptoms, the chance of a false negative result was 38%, dropping to 20% three days after the onset of symptoms (or day eight since exposure).

    Such findings emphasise the need to remain cautious if you’ve come into contact with an infected person, even if you initially test negative. They also highlight the importance of a multi-pronged control strategy, including quarantine measures for those exposed to the virus, and explain why many countries require travellers to conduct two PCR tests – one shortly before or after arrival, and another some days later, in case the first test misses the virus.

    I know PCR is best that we have. Anti-gen a quick look, less reliable. 

    Took a PCR myself a few weeks back. Took 76 hours to get my results. Negative. Feel bad for those who have to have a PCR result within 72 hours to attend a crowded event. Understand why, but also think about those 25% of vaccinated positives that are out there. And 25% a very conserative number. Vaccinated are less likely to get tested with mild symptoms than the unvaxed, the number of positive vaccinated more likely higher than reported.

    Most crowded events won't except a 72 hour result. As of now, most are requiring proof of vax or same day results.

     Don't you think we are learning something new or unexpected each & every day? 

    The best & brightest scientists in the world are working on this.

    At least most reasonable people can agree this wasn't a hoax.

    From January to July, under 1% of total covid cases, hospitalizations and deaths occur among over 4.5 million vaccinated people according to Michigan health department.  Not 23% of cases, 28% of hospitalizations and 15% of deaths which represent only one month of incomplete data.  6 months of data are statistically more significant than any one month. Especially since numbers fluctuate widely from month to month.

    Experts say as vaccination rates increase, it's expected for a larger proportion of people who are infected to be vaccinated.  This doesn't mean vaccines don't work.  Data misinterpretation occurs by only looking at those who got infected instead of everyone at risk of being infected.  Key is to compare the percentage of unvaccinated infected with percentage of vaccinated infected.  Vast majority of cases, hospitalizations and deaths still occur among the unvaccinated.

    Scientific American gives a good report about benefit of lower viral load in vaccinated people after infection. Findings confirmed in US, Israel, Singapore, United kingdom, India, Spain and Canada.  Similar reports by US center for disease control, Nature medicine, WebMd, Medrxiv and Public health Ontario.

    So in one case you declare that comparing infection rates from Pre-Delta to Post-Delta is "APPLES TO ORANGES", then you go and declare that data from January 1 (PRE-DELTA) to now (POST-DELTA) July is totally acceptable and that THE LAST 30 days of is INCOMPLETE. an_roll_laughLike it's some kind of fluke. 

    Not only that, more than 75% of deaths were Jan/Mar/Apr and those people contracted the virus before 10% of the population was vaxed. Talk about skewing the numbers!!!

    CDC studies show waning COVID vaccine efficacy
    as delta variant sweeps US

    USA TODAY
    • The CDC’s latest research shows vaccine effectiveness,
    which was at 91% against the original covid strain
    has dropped to 66% against the Delta variant. an_light

    We were warned many months ago to expect this with mutations.


    Thus, people who are fully vaccinated against the original strain
    now have a 33% chance of illness if they catch the Delta mutation.

    There was NEVER a promise that the trump-vaccines would protect against mutations!

    Similarly, being vaccinated against Diptheria does not protect
    anyone from the measles. And if you have had the measles, your
    measles "anti-bodies" won't protect you from Diptheria, at all.

    Dr. Fauci and Dr.Wolensky among many others have warned many times
    that as long as we allow any covid strain to spread and mutate then
    this pattern of mutations vs. old vaccines will continue.

    They are working now on a vaccine against the Delta strain.
    But by the time it is eventually developed we will have a whole new mutation
    to deal with and supposed "anti-bodies" from being infected from the
    original covid strain won't do a damn thing against future mutations.

    Anyone who thinks "natural immunity" (from original covid) will protect them from mutated strains

    Today in Florida we had 21,756 new cases & 901 deaths reported.

    It's not getting better. It's not going away.

    My claims are nothing about a hoax, that's a deflection.

    FACT; The Delta variant was discovered in December of 2020 in India. Like a WHOLE NEW VIRUS. It spread into the European nations and smashed them. Information was steadly coming in on how bad it is.

    FACT; Joe Biden and his Administration, our CDC, DID NOTHING to prevent Delta reaching our country. In fact allowing mass migration from our southern border encouraged more COVID to reach the U.S.

    FACT; The Delta variant was first detected in the United States in Texas, the state with the largest southern border. Same with the Lambda from Peru.

    FACT; Even with a trove of data flowing in from Israel, UK, Iceland, the Joe Biden admin STILL put all their eggs in one basket and Joe Biden himself said; "Get the vaccine and you will not get COVID." 

    A colassal mistake!! Ignoring all the data coming in and producing charts of 99% are unvaxed. Unbelievable!!!!

    For a year I read Donald Trump is responsible for 200,000 deaths, then 400,000, etc, etc.

    APPLES TO APPLES--- The Delta is a whole new COVID, JOE BIDEN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL DELTA DEATHS IN THE UNITED STATES. HE FAILED TO PREVENT IT FROM ENTERING OUR COUNTRY AND HIS ACTIONS ENCOURAGED IT'S ARRIVAL. ABOUT 50% OF VACCINATED INDIVIDUALS WILL STILL CONTRACT COVID, MANY WILL DIE. 

    13 SERVICE MEMBERS JUST NEEDLESSLY DIED IN AFGHANISTAN AND SEVERAL SERIOUSLY HURT. JOE BIDEN IS RESPONSIBLE.

    But by the time it is eventually developed we will have a whole new mutation

    original covid strain won't do a damn thing against future mutations.

     

     

    this should b obvious to anyone with an IQ higher than 99

And it'd be easy to say "mask mandates" but believe me, even in states with mask mandates, there are some establishments with some very loose policies. There has to be more to it. Is it the high average age in Florida? An overall unhealthy lifestyle of the populace, i.e. obesity, sedintary lifestyle, smoking, etc? Those are insane numbers.

    Stu, this is what I believe. Could be right, could be wrong.

    Take a look at Florida's covid levels; https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/florida/

    Focus on the "Daily New Cases" graph. Notice that last yr in late June/July/Aug they had a surge, much larger now.

    Another southern state, Louisiana; https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/louisiana/

    Notice same type of surge last yr in Jun/July/August.

    Now let's take a northern state; https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/new-york/

    Notice no summer surges, if you look at other northern states you see the same thing. 

    I believe it's indoor activity driving the surge. Down south, hot summer months, many inside with a/c on. Then in the north it starts Oct/Nov/Dec with cold temps and schooling (universities) forcing folks indoors. Then January it really explodes as extreme cold forces more indoors.

    Expecting it to really take off this fall in the north. This southern surge a BIG WARNING SIGN. Delta much worse, numbers will be much higher.

    Most of those new cases and deaths are avoidable, taking vaccination and masking up in public, esp. indoors.

    Take a look at Hawaii.

    "Hawaii's huge step backwards is particularly surprising given how stringent testing requirements for travelers basically eradicated COVID on the island earlier this year. It's also surprising given Hawaii's vaccination status. About 66% of Hawaii's adult population is fully vaccinated, and a nation-leading 87% of its adult population has received at least one dose.

    The state only recorded about 50 cases a day in July, when the state opted to lift its requirement for U.S. travelers to show a negative test before traveling to the islands as long as they were vaccinated. But now, as the state averages more than 700 daily cases, Green explains federal travel guidelines are complicating a return to stricter controls at the state level. "

    "We now have to wrestle with the fact that the CDC and the FDA have given us formal recommendations that people can travel safely if they are fully vaccinated. That creates some legal challenges," he said. "I will say this, there is still a concern that people will catch and spread the Delta variant even if they are fully vaccinated."

    Judge has ruled unlawful Florida ban on mask mandates in schools by governor DeSantis.  This is a victory for parents, students and schools.  Health and safety must be priorities in a pandemic.  Center for disease control mask guidelines are reasonable and consistent with the best scientific or medical opinions.

    Also supreme court determines there is no constitutional right to refuse vaccine mandates in a pandemic.  No valid excuse for not being vaccinated except for health reasons.  Constitution is not a suicide pact that guarantees a right to infect others.  Governments have latitude to protect citizens, especially when the science supporting vaccination is so clear.
