For awhile I had been watching the MacAfee show on one my monitors while I work. I haven't watched it in awhile, I found it a little repetitive. I mostly stick to Midsomer Murders and America's Test Kitchen. MacAfee is the best color commentator the WWE has had in a long time.

A little McAfee goes a long way. My 19 year old son was home and we made some trips in the car and listened. I won't listen every day, but I like a dose every know and then.

COVID-19 vaccination provides a foundation of protection that’s enhanced by breakthrough infection; ‘the key is to get vaccinated.']

I prefer not to test that theory.

[dpatnod]

I still feel this way.

Ditto. I gave humanity too much credit. And Americans.

It's good that my parents didn't see what has happened to this society.

You might not have a choice. Everyone is catching COVID, it’s just a matter of when.

I told my wife the same thing.

People were laughing admittedly insensitivity because idiots were buying otc animal dosage at pet supply stores and overdosing on the shit like it was a miracle cure. Or even overdosing on it prescribed and taking too much. Its a dangerous drug at the wrong levels.

What baffles me is how so many on the right dismiss the vaccines as bullshit due to big pharma greed or political lobbying among other reasons. Then turn around and buy into Hydroxycloroquine or Ivermectin as if no one profits from those drugs or benefit from their donors either. I'm not naive enough to be a sheep to buy in completely to either side but I'm much more likely to believe one that's promoting vaccines in general rather than specific medicines.

While this can be a general summarization, there is a large number of people on the left who fall for this too. I think of it (Anti-vax) as more of a narrative that people who have an underlying distrust of government buy into. My very own sister and her family are non-vax and aren't far righters (probably moderate to be more exact).

Much like the vacuum salesmen of days gone by, the poor, less educated or/and rural people are more apt to fall for these false narratives. It's a reason those salesmen hit certain areas.

Well, Duh. What are you gonna do, listen to scientists over admitted dumbasses?

I will always ask a person if they discussed this with their doctor. A guy I work with that is loud and proud about his far rightness told me that doctors are being told to say the vaccines are safe or they will lose their license. He and his family, wife, daughters and grand daughters subsequently caught COVID. He and a daughter had a heart attack after contracting. He spent 3 days on a ventilator but did eventually recover. Did he learn anything? Nope. "See. I didn't need that vax. It's all a ruse to get Trump out of office."

Again, people are neck deep in narratives and no amount of scientific truth and facts are going to deter their thinking. But we all should have our own Doctor that cares for our well being. He or She is the absolute best person to ask. If you don't feel comfortable asking them then you need a doctor you can believe in.

Ditto. I gave humanity too much credit. And Americans.

It's good that my parents didn't see what has happened to this society.

I say this about some of my love ones that passed from 2010 - 2020. My maternal Grandmother, 3 uncles, 4 aunts and I think who is better off?

<sigh> Being AA I see more of the underbelly of humanity which is showcased in the shooting of AAs and subsequent acquittals (if they even have to go to trial) of murderers, traitors storming the Capitol w/o any regard to being jailed, Packer fans complaining, etc...

So I am less surprised then some other people to these people.

I think people have lost their way. As a Christian I fully believe what Edin wrote. When we turn away from these truths we also turn away from God in my opinion because this is his show. He has given us what we need to succeed, but Bubba Joe gets the love for his narratives.

You don't have to be a Christian, just a person of common sense.

You might not have a choice. Everyone is catching COVID, it’s just a matter of when.

Will you die fast, die slow, recover eventually, recover fast or shake it off in a couple of days is the question.

The Vax was developed to try to put most people in the latter. IT DOES NOT PREVENT getting the virus. IDK who lied to you about that or you may have assumed it, but all vaccinations aren't made to prevent.

This COVID virus is very virulent and changes to adapt to it's own survival, like an ameba, so we should be doing what ever we can to continue to survive until they can get a better handle on this.

Stay safe my friends

University of Michigan expert explains why he thinks COVID pandemic will end in 2022

With the coronavirus spreading at an unseen rate in Michigan and beyond, it can be hard to imagine any end in sight.

But University of Michigan immunologist and professor Dr. Jim Baker says he thinks the pandemic will come to an end in 2022.

Dr. Baker joined us on Flashpoint this week to discuss the current state of the pandemic and its future.

“When we talk about pandemic, this huge wave of infection that goes around the world, we usually see a lot of different phases,” Dr. Baker explained to Devin Scillian on Sunday’s Flashpoint program. “The more people are immune to the virus, the more people have a vaccine, the less likely they’re going to have a serious effect from this.”

Dr. Baker has been keeping a pandemic blog and recently wrote about the pandemic ending this year.

“We have been focused on number of infections with COVID-19 because of the very sensitive and accurate diagnostic tests (PCR) we have developed. In contrast, as we look at the end of the pandemic, we now need to focus less on infections and more on deaths. That is truly the important marker of a pandemic’s impact and the only comparable measure to the 1918 flu epidemic where there were no diagnostic tests,” Baker wrote.

“In the 1917 flu pandemic, after the initial burst of infections and deaths, two waves of deaths followed, each one less impactful. This is how pandemics end; two “echo” waves each being less and less significant. It is because in each wave the most susceptible individuals have been killed off as the rest of the population develops immunity. A similar pattern was seen in the 2011 Influenza A pandemic and it has now emerged with COVID-19. This pattern shows the COVID-19 pandemic is burning out.”

I pray he is right.

6 months before the Flu of 1919 burned out people thought it was never going to end. Watch the PBS documentary on it, it's really interesting.

Third wave of 1919


In January 1919, a third wave of the flu hit Australia, where it killed around 12,000 people following the lifting of a maritime quarantine, and then spread quickly through Europe and the United States, where it lingered through the spring and until June 1919. It primarily affected Spain, Serbia, Mexico and Great Britain, resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths. It was less severe than the second wave but still much more deadly than the initial first wave. In the United States, isolated outbreaks occurred in some cities including Los Angeles, New York City, Memphis, Nashville, San Francisco and St. Louis. Overall, American mortality rates were in the tens of thousands during the first six months of 1919. From Wikipedia

That's the point of the doctor in the article that this Omicron wave is not as deadly and that is why he believes it is burning out.

Interesting...

[CGVT]

I *think* (hope) that this shit is going to burn itself out and in the future there will be a yearly COVID shot available, maybe even combined with the flu shot.

Most people will get it. The tin-foil hat crowd will not. Darwin will smile from beyond.

If that’s the case (I know it is) - why is there a need for a booster every few months (as it stands currently)?

By most estimations the T and B cell response to COVID should last decades - it’s only neutralizing antibodies (which stop you getting infected at all) that last for a short time. It begs the question of how long this is sustainable as they certainly won’t be able to vaccinate the world every 3-6 months, swathes of the world aren’t even single jabbed.

I caught it after three jabs and can say it’s one of the mildest illnesses I’ve ever had - I’m hoping that should leave a robust immune response.
