Neverending Covid-19 Coronavirus

This, though somewhat funny, may be hard to watch. I'm very disturbed by these people. I don't understand how they can see those around them and the things they're doing/saying and think "Oh yeah, we're the smart ones here, I'm definitely right about this."

This is what happens when people lose trust in their government because our politicians have been bought and paid for by pharmaceutical companies (and a whole lot of other companies). If our government thought that vaccination was the MOST important thing, they would have voted in the WHO to open vaccine patents. If they wanted people to think that this is totally for public health, no one should be making money off of this. It's very easy for people to become very skeptical when there is a lot of money floating around. If we took away the staggering profits, there would be a lot less for people to question.

The Pandemic's Hidden Toll Is Revealed in Excess Death Counts

Many of the unexpected deaths in rural U.S. counties last year were not recorded as caused by COVID

So reinfections are not only a thing, but they are a relatively common thing.

As Covid-19 infections surge in England, people are increasingly reporting catching Sars-CoV-2 for a second or even third time.

New analysis has suggested that unvaccinated individuals should expect to be reinfected with Covid-19 every 16 months, on average.

With winter approaching, scientists are warning that such reinfections could add to the burden on the NHS, some calling for the vaccination programme to be extended to all schoolchildren, including two doses for teenagers.

My wife and I were just talking about this yesterday. I was saying that the non-vaxxed coworkers of mine who have had it might get it every year. In their heads, they think they now have natural immunity. The guy that had it twice already is not at all interested in the shot because he says 'he's definitely good now.' But it seems that's not based on anything except hope. And, I have to believe that getting this over and over can't be good for you. Not as bad as the three legged demons that enter your body via the shot though. /s

And right on cue - as I was typing this one of them just got in yet another heated argument here at work with one of the few pro-vax employees about how masks don't do anything and was YELLING "Show me the science!! There is NONE!" He's had it once already.
 
Grumble grumble grumble...
This variant could put a damper on holiday plans:

Vaccines protect against severe disease and death and are considered central to ending the pandemic. COVID-19 vaccines (and SARS-CoV-2 infection) elicit antibodies that are directed against the viral spike (S) protein and neutralize the virus. However, the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants with S protein mutations that confer resistance to neutralization might compromise vaccine efficacy [1]. Furthermore, emerging viral variants with enhanced transmissibility, likely due to altered virus-host cell interactions, might rapidly spread globally. Therefore, it is important to investigate whether emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants exhibit altered host cell interactions and resistance against antibody-mediated neutralization.
We investigated host cell entry and antibody-mediated neutralization of the variant A.30 (also termed A.VOI.V2), which was detected in several patients in Angola and Sweden in spring 2021 and likely originated in Tanzania [2].

The CEO of our hospital sent an email to all employees with the dates for mandating the vaccine to maintain employment. Dec 5th is the last date to get first dose, fully vaccinated by Jan 4th. As he put it, “if you choose not to get the vaccine, you are choosing not to be employed by (my employer)”. I am so happy this is finally happening, especially considering I live in Montana, the only state to mandate that employers cannot mandate vaccines. However, when a community hospital gets 60-70 of their money from Medicare/Medicaid, if we lose CMS money, we go bankrupt. My Q wingnut coworker plans to send an email to our governor, Greg “Body Slammin” Gianforte, who has exactly zero power over CMS funding.

It was a very good day today 😉
 
This has spun into the political realm a bit, but more so it's making me just laugh with the responses I'm getting from some family and friends who are part of the "faithful" up in Green Bay, lol.

This comment has caused some angst..........I'm sure yesterday's loss didn't help, lol.

Let's face it, if Kyle Lauletta had lied about being vaccinated, the team, the league and so on would have suspended, fined, and whatever else without batting an eye. But since it's Aaron Rodgers everyone turned a blind eye. Who's Kyle Lauletta? My point exactly, he's the 3rd string QB from Jacksonville and has to follow the same rules everyone else is "supposed" to follow, including Rodgers.

Let's be clear, I hate the Packers, I have to, I live in Chicago
🙂
But, I do/did, respect Rodgers as an athlete and QB. Some of that is gone now, and this isn't about your choice to vax or not, it's about being deceptive and misleading, the US should start stitching that on pillows for this holiday season.

But he got caught in a "lie" and now he's trying to justify his comments, he should have just shut up and it would have been fine, but no, when your ego can't handle it, you just keep digging that hole deeper and deeper. Your not being canceled Aaron, you're being held accountable.
Anyway.................LETS GO BEARS!!!!
🏉


.........and some how they're not seeing ALL the flags in his comments. Again, it seems that so many can't grasp the extent of what's going on and how it works when it comes to how this thing spreads.

Welp, I've had a sore throat, runny nose, and cough for a few days now, so going to get a covid test this morning. 👎🏻

Hope your feeling better, if your vaccinated symptoms should be mild. Rest up, stay hydrated, and keep moving. There are also tons of colds going around right now with kids back in school and most not vaccinated, less masks, etc.
