Remember the conspiracy theories about COVID internment camps?

If you are afraid I would suggest you get vaccinated.

Getting a booster on Friday. My best friend was vaccinated in the Spring and just had a breakthrough case that left him deeply sick for two weeks. His girlfriend had just got a booster and never got it.

We all should be afraid. Anything that tortures 3/4 of a million people to death is worth being afraid of.

Yes, fear is the answer.

Total number has nothing to do with my individual risk as a fully vaccinated individual.

That I agree with. This is a disease that primarily kills the unvaccinated. But the vaccinated need to be careful due to the waning efficacy of the Spring vaccine. My good friend is a case in point.

No. The elderly and the weak.

A 1 to 1.5 percent mortality rate is fairly low.

Great- so if 5 million people died that would still be a pretty small mortality rate. When would you think this is a big deal…when 20 million people died?

5 million have died. It’s still a low mortality rate.

Is it honest?

Yes, it is honest to say there are multiple ways to interpret the snippet until more information is presented.

Fear can lead to self preservation- definitely the answer.

No. The elderly and the weak.

Sorry statistics aren’t showing this is almost entirely a disease that kills the unvaccinated.

Is that what you tell people who carry firearms everywhere they go?

Are you ok with forced firearm ownership and carry, or you lose your job?

Unvaxxed chance of being hospitalized if they get covid is 0.8 percent by the way. Oh scary.

But have a far higher rate of transmitting the disease to others. If it were strictly a personal decision I wouldn’t care.

[GWH]

It is strictly a personal decision because a vaccine exists.

The unvaccinated have a far higher rate of transmitting the disease to others. Not personal.

Not true.

True.

You're Far Less Likely to Spread the Coronavirus If You're Vaccinated

Did you bother to read the study? As far as I could see, none of them received treatment, vaxxed or unvaxxed.

[Orygun]

@zantax

Sorry, that isn’t true.

see previous post.

@Orygun

@zantax

Sorry, that isn’t true.

see previous post.

We don’t just go untreated when we get it now. So do the study again and this time provide treatment and see what we get. Not to mention it ignores self quarantine.

"Even though the peak viral load was similar for vaccinated and unvaccinated people, the viral load decreased faster for fully vaccinated people with a Delta infection than for unvaccinated people.

“This study confirms that COVID-19 vaccination reduces the risk of delta variant infection and also accelerates viral clearance in the context of the delta variant,” Wilders-Smith wrote."

Treatment reduces viral load. Try again.
