Oh, you mean that country that is known for heightened awareness of personal hygiene?

Only if they don't believe in time travel.

".........the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein." I wish you could see it in the original. It had one of these at the end:........ /s

My dad didn't believe ketchup had any special powers. It was just his way of saying, "Eat it and don't complain.".

Reminds me of my dad when we turned our noses up at something on the dinner table. "Put some ketchup on it."

I think I'll wait and see if seatbelts save lives.

I just got my test back and it's 42.

I really don't know much about it. I was just curious if this is what Oldies was talking about. I don't think an antibody test is going to give you the data you want because antibodies fade rather quickly. T-cell and B-cell presence is what is key, as these are the long-term cells that generate antibodies.

TEST

Yoda you are.

Of course you are. The data did not tell us the patients' ages, whether they were obese or if they had comorbidities so you thought it was okay to simply invent some data. (build a patient profile) That is definitely not okay.

This is just stubborn ignorance. Do yourself and everyone else a favor by educating yourself on how the vaccine works. As it is, it looks like you don't have a clue. We don't know how long natural immunity lasts or how strong it will be for any one particular individual because we don't know that individual's exposure level. Dosage is controlled with the vaccine and so we can make more calculated projections. You say you have had Covid twice now. This is a bit distressing when you consider the long-running success your country had with low infection rates. How did you manage to get infected not once but twice? How long was it between your first and second infection? How long do you expect it to be before your third.... or fourth or fifth?

You're still trying to build a patient profile without any statistical evidence to justify your conclusion.

Covid by age 11/10/2021: HERE

The graph is clearly dated at the bottom. These are the numbers for Monday, 11/15/2021. The link shows other days that offer some perspective. There is no (zero) information to indicate patient age or general health status. You have assumed these details in an effort to create a fictitious patient profile. This is dishonest and dangerous. If anything, there is a good chance these are a younger demographic than we saw in the early pandemic because a high percentage of the elderly have already been vaccinated. But, we don't know that for certain. I think it's a fair assumption, though.

It was a flawed study. You can read about it HERE.

A direct quote from the article: “These events are often coincidental, rather than being caused by the vaccine, therefore any attempts to link the two based on a temporal association alone is misleading,”

"ANY vaccines.....are ALWAYS too late." This is what you said, did you not? .

This is what you said: "Any vaccinations conjured up for for flu type viruses (including covid) are always too late because the virus mutates a multitude of times before the shots even ministered." This is a direct quote from the article: "the composition of flu vaccines is reviewed annually, and vaccines are updated to protect against the viruses that research indicates will be most common during the upcoming flu season." Do you honestly not see what's wrong with your claim?

I'm still waiting for your evidence.

I'm not sure you realize this, Allan, but this article offers no evidence to back the claim you made that I questioned.

Your evidence?

Regarding the Sen. Cassidy video: The Senator apparently doesn't understand the difference between long term (B-cell and T-cell) immunity and short term (antibody) immunity, though you would think his training as a physician would have covered that. He also seems to be unable to grasp that we can't possibly have data on people who never got tested or were asymptomatic. And, again, as a physician, he should certainly have an understanding of this concept. Some people made a choice to work remotely. We're not told why. Perhaps they have a medical issue that makes that choice the prudent one. We don't know. Regardless, what happened to the idea of "freedom to make a personal choice"? Apparently he would like to cherry pick which freedoms he considers valid. Clearly, his objective here is to discredit the effectiveness of the intervention program.

If you want to understand what's going on in a particular state, on any matter of interest, not just the virus situation, you can't simply look at the state en toto. You have to look at the differences in counties, districts, metro areas vs. rural areas, etc. You have to consider the differences in behavioral patterns and general attitudes.

High Covid rates in T supporter states is a statistical fact, not an opinion or speculation. You can clearly see it if you look at current state by state data.
