    Here is another image of covid hypocrisy my brother told me about. The elites (in this case AOC) don't have to wear masks but their attendants the peons do.

    He told me her dress was so long two (masked) people had to walk behind her to hold up the train, but I wasn't able to find an image of that.

    I had an interesting conversation the other day. The person had gotten covid last October and because his wife works for one of the companies that is making monoclonal antibody treatments he was able to get treated with them as soon as he tested positive (shortly after he had started having symptoms.) The treatment worked great. His symptoms lasted less than 2 days and 3 days after that he tested negative. But then in January he got covid a second time. Apparently the success of the first treatment meant that he didn't develop any level of long term immunity. He was again treated with the monoclonal antibodies, and again the treatment quickly resolved his infection. In April, when he was eligible, he got vaccinated.

    I am dismayed to hear that the Pfizer vaccine efficacy diminishes sharply over time, and that at this point I might only be at 20% efficacy. I feel like I've been living in a fool's paradise, feeling like I'm vaccinated when that is barely the case. Since they are still learning about the strength and duration of the vaccines, I definitely see masks as a good supplementary effort.

    I saw on the news something I read about earlier in scientific articles - treating covid as an endemic rather than a pandemic. I really hope this idea gains traction.

    RR I suppose it could be worse. Moderna which I got has now been pulled off the market in Scandinavia for some groups because it causes heart problems.

    You are fine with people dying so that you don’t have to put a small piece of cloth on your face. Unbelievable.

    Rosa- not sure where you are hearing the 20% number from, this presentation shows a decline in the mRNA vaccines over time, but not that drastic.

    You have pro-mask tunnel vision.

    If vaccines rapidly decline in effectiveness then the way to protect people is to frequently boost the vulnerable and let everyone else catch the virus and get the stronger, better natural immunity that results. Boosting everyone all the time is impractical - look how many people we can't even get to take initial shots.

    Nope. Incorrect. Unvaccinated people who had covid are twice as likely to be reinfected.

    Apatheticnomore, I believe you have expressed the opposite. Do you have a countervailing study?

    There is an Israeli study, that has not even gone through peer review, which attracted attention with a different conclusion.
