Conavirus......

[ApatheticNoMore]

My bf got the two shot Pfizer vaccine. He tried to get a vaccination passport and the state only thinks he got one shot. And he signed up through the state website for the shots.

Now one can fight the bureaucracy I guess (do we spend way too much of our lives fighting bureaucracies), because as proof there are also the cards one got at vaccination, there is maybe the record from health insurance, maybe (who wants to deal with them either). Or what the hey there is just getting a 3rd shot, though I think J&J makes more sense to mix it up in that case.

There is the record from the insurance company maybe, but that may well be coded wrong as they think I owe money on MY covid shot Does anyone really know how many covid shots anyone has, does anybody really care? But people should get vaccinated nontheless.

A job I could not do - manufacturer's rep. You have to go visit and schmooze with customers and butter them up. One came in today and was sitting and agreeing with all the boss's conspiracy theories, including that viruses don't circulate naturally in the summer because all the vitamin D from the sun kills them, so they must be introduced artificially - therefore the current outbreaks of covid are due to people getting vaccinated. Never mind that there is no live virus in the vaccines.

DD just called me and three of her vaccinated friends have symptomatic Covid. One of them has a child in the same daycare so naturally she is quite alarmed.

If what public health "experts" say is true, that existing vaccines protect against the Delta variant, maybe there is another yet to be identified and/or publicized variant out there that is infecting and sickening vaccinated people.

that existing vaccines protect against the Delta varian

If the mRNA vaccines are 90-95% effective against symptomatic covid, that 5-10% of the people vaccinated that get it anyways is still a lot of people. You don't need a theory of another variant to explain this.

PT, really hoping that they all will come through fine.

If what public health "experts" say is true,....

Why the use of "snark quotes" around the word "experts"?

What are your public health credentials? Where do you practice, and in what fields? What papers have you published, or refereed? What journals do you edit?

Google U?

From tonight's news - the average age of a vaccinated person with a breakthrough case is 82.5. The percent having an underlying medical condition is 73%. Covid is believed to weakened these folks letting opportunistic infections kill them. Covid is not the cause of death (though you better believe it will be listed as such to be politically correct - my commentary is in parentheses, the rest is from the news, ABC affiliate).

These are the types of folks the FDA will now be letting get booster shots, but watch and you will see people say they smoke or have other conditions to try to get boosters.

Meanwhile let's hope those of us not in this demographic don't once again have a bunch of our civil rights taken away when we are not at risk from covid.

Ay carumba this is alarming! I was so hoping that we as a nation were on the downslope of covid and that maybe some vaccines could go from the first world to the third world so as to block this virus from more mutations. Now I'm thinking we may end out repeating those strange days at the beginning of the pandemic.

Wishing your DD's friends quick recoveries. Rob
