Re: Corona Virus (COVID-19)( SARS-CoV-2) from China: Its going to be bad.

What I want to see is information about which vaccines people have. Like the other day I read some people testing positive, and it said 95% of them were Delta variant patients. It also said 25% of them were vaccinated. But which vaccine was that 25%? Of course, there is some financial component here. If, for example, they said all of that 25% had the Pfizer vaccine, that could have a huge impact on Pfizer.

According to the preliminary data Moderna is the only vaccine effective against Delta variant.
Sorry, that's wildly incorrect. The Pfizer vaccine is effective as well. If it weren't, then why are 95% of the Delta cases unvaccinated?
Because the current CDC protocol is not to test vaccinated people with covid symptoms unless they're hospitalized. Purpose: to keep down the numbers of cases among the vaccinated to make it look like only the unvaccinated are coming down with the virus.
Again, totally wrong. Foil hat getting a little loose?

Re: Corona Virus (COVID-19)( SARS-CoV-2) from China: Its going to be bad.

The freaking anti-vaxxers are going to destroy everything. 95% of the new infections are unvaccinated, and hospitals are once again filling up. As the virus spreads and spreads, it will continue to mutate and mutate and mutate, until eventually we'll have a variant that is completely resistant to the vaccines. Then we'll be back to Square One. Worse, actually. Nice. GET YOUR FREAKING SHOT!!!!

Re: Corona Virus (COVID-19)( SARS-CoV-2) from China: Its going to be bad.

It's beginning to look ENTIRELY possible that China deliberately created and released this virus towards a geopolitical objective, and it appears to be succeeding.

Despite having a population 5 times that of the U.S. (1.5 billion), China has only recorded 4600 Covid deaths.

There are NO colonies of the bat species that carries this virus anywhere near Wuhan, nor are there any for sale in the infamous Wuhan market. However, the Wuhan labs WERE using this species in their bio-weapons development.

Hitler tried to conquer the world using bullets. Now China is trying to conquer the world using a virus.

Well to be fair- One could argue there is WAY too much emphasis put on the doom and gloom, ventilator, month on your back, barely survive, etc.

I don't tell people not to get vaccinated- it's not a black and white answer for all. I just ask that you respect the decision I made, with the consulting advice of my physician, and I'll do the same for you, in return.
It's hard not to "emphasize" it when you see large hospitals who can't even accept new patients because all of their beds are being used for covid patients. My wife, for example, had an attack of trigeminal neuralgia a couple of months ago, one of the most painful conditions in the field of medicine. She was in the ER and seriously needed to be admitted to the hospital. They couldn't take her. Why? They were full of covid patients.

I respect your decision, but the nagging element here is that your decision isn't made in isolation; it affects everybody, both pro and anti vax, by perpetuating packed hospitals, shutdowns, oppressive masking requirements, etc. Thankfully, since about 40% of the US population has now been vaccinated, that situation is starting to diminish and "mask required" signs are starting to come down and businesses are reopening. But we still have a long way to go.

The ONLY active ingredient in the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines is the mRNA, which is simply genetic material that provides instructions for our body on how to make a viral protein that triggers an immune response to the Covid virus. It was subjected to the same rigorous testing as any other vaccine, including Phase III testing on over 40,000 people. Good grief, you'd think it was cyanide or something.

Also, there's WAY too much focus on "survival rate." Yes, you can die from Covid, and I have several personal friends who have. They were otherwise healthy, too. Almost 600,000 people have died from it. But just because you don't die doesn't mean everything's peachy. Just ask any hospital where they have to set up ICU beds in the hallways because they're overflowing with Covid patients. You want to lie flat on your back for a month breathing through a plastic tube, then pat yourself on the back for your "survival"? No thanks.

Re: Corona Virus (COVID-19)( SARS-CoV-2) from China: Its going to be bad.

An anecdote. Somewhere here in Texas, there was a sheriff's deputy age 37 who tested positive for covid. But he felt fine. Later that evening, he started getting a headache and feeling kind of bad so he and his wife decided to go to the ER. She was getting her purse, the car keys, etc. and getting ready to go, and found him lying dead on the bathroom floor. He never even made it out to the car.

Re: Corona Virus (COVID-19)( SARS-CoV-2) from China: Its going to be bad.

What's really silly is all this foil hat paranoia about getting the shot. Good heavens, it's just a freaking version of a flu shot for crying out loud. Just get the freaking shot so we can get past this. There's a private school in Miami, for example, that refuses to hire anybody who has had a vaccine shot. They actually believe that you can get seriously ill by simply standing too close to someone who's been vaccinated. Good grief. GET YOUR SHOTS!!

Texas completely open for a while now and 0 deaths reported yesterday.

Amazing what a little Trump vaccine will do.
Yeah the last couple of weeks, I've noticed 90% of the "mask required" signs are gone. If there is a sign and you don't wear one, nobody says anything anyway.

Re: Corona Virus (COVID-19)( SARS-CoV-2) from China: Its going to be bad.

My wife is a very experience nurse practitioner and a former medical school lecturer in infectious diseases and immunology. She says these "variants, and there are over 1500 of them, are mild and not an issue, that all this about how the variants will "sweep across the country like a hurricane" is all media hype, in their never-ending quest for a juicy story. She also said we should all be getting the Sputnik-V vaccine; its chemistry is different from what we're using, and has virtually no side effects and is 98% effective against all of the C19 variants. Of course Pfizer would never allow it. ($$$)

And they still don't know what the long term affects of this vaccine will be. Two years from now, people could start growing tails. The range of issues that could come from the vaccine is endless.
Remember thalidomide?

Re: Corona Virus (COVID-19)( SARS-CoV-2) from China: Its going to be bad.

The main thing about Pfizer is that it's going to be difficult to distribute on a large scale. The stuff requires storage at minus 100 degrees. So you won't be able to go down and get a shot at Walgreens; it'll have to be at some really high-end hospital facility or something like that.

This isn't the first, or even the tenth, time I've heard about artificially inflating coronavirus statistics. I'm not prone to conspiracy theories or foil hats, but sometimes it's hard not to be suspicious:

Re: Corona Virus (COVID-19)( SARS-CoV-2) from China: Its going to be bad.

I'm beginning to see reports now of people getting $50,000 bills for their coronavirus treatments, particularly if it involved ICUs and/or ventilators. It can go as high as $80K in some cases.

Health care is insane; I don't know where this is going. Take an ordinary ECG of your heart. A Medical Assistant making $8/hr. sticks some electrodes on your chest. They come in boxes of 500, like half a cent each. The MA runs the ECG machine, which cost $399, for a few seconds. It prints out the ECG on some graph paper. The graph paper comes in 100-ft. rolls that cost a few dollars each (in cases of a dozen).

Then comes the bill: ECG - $820.
Then the beauty. The physican grabs the printout, glances at it and says, "yeah, looks OK" and tosses it on the table.
"ECG interpretation: $375"

This is just beyond comprehension.
