Well you should avoid the Ocean if antagonizing sea creatures is your thing.That Steve Irwin was killed by a stingray does not mean you should avoid the ocean.
But if you sincerely want this to end quickly, help vaccine resisters to get the vaccine, and convince anti-maskers to keep wearing a mask.
All the vaccine FUD and whataboutism is only making more people confused about what to do.
A total of 1,271 new COVID-19 hospitalizations (0.17 per 100,000 person-days) occurred among fully vaccinated adults, compared with 7,308 (2.03 per 100,000 person-days) among unvaccinated adults.
For infectious diseases, like Covid-19, there are three key terms to be aware of that influence discussions on vaccine efficacy. The first is exposure, which means coming into contact with the virus. This may occur when someone with Covid-19 coughs nearby, or when an individual touches a door handle or surface that is contaminated with the virus. Vaccines don’t prevent exposures, and it’s likely that many of us have been, or will be, exposed to SARS-CoV-2. The second term is infection, which occurs after an exposure and requires that the virus infects our cells and replicates. Some – but not all – vaccines can prevent infection, yet the current Covid-19 vaccines don’t appear to result in sterilizing immunity (i.e., the ability to prevent infection). In other words, even those who are vaccinated against Covid-19 may be infected with the virus. Importantly, not everyone who is infected with SARS-CoV-2 becomes ill. The third term is disease, which means that the viral infection results in clinical signs or symptoms (e.g., cough, fever, shortness of breath). The Covid-19 vaccines have been shown to be highly effective at preventing disease.
Snake oil has existed since materials became goods.I am struggling with understanding what is going on.
Were people always this stupid?
Or is it that people were always this stupid but now grifters, charlatans, and evil-doers have a near perfect technique and platform to manipulate these stupid people?
Here, I am going to agree with Norton in that rare occasion.If you are
YEs.....
If the medical system is stressed out and you need care, good luck.
I just had emergency surgery on Wednesday.
Telling people to get a vaccine with zero incentives is what creates FUD (had to look that up).

It's gonna be OK, old chum.Ugh...you're not making me feel any better...
First day of school tomorrow. Looks like kids will be eating in the cafeteria. Not sure how I feel about that..I would have thought eating in the classrooms would be less risky. On the other hand, maybe the cafeterias are so large it is easier to practice social distancing? I don’t know.
In elementary school I don't remember any kids playing with other classes outside their own. A classroom is already a large scale for kids to deal with.The thing I expect the most out of my kids' school is that they will continue to limit the interactions between classes. That way, there can be proper containment and contact tracing.
If it's anything like my kid's school, they pretty much just threw in the towel and it's business as usual. Everyone has to stay masked except when eating, but otherwise there doesn't seem to be any real precautions taken this year. I'm sure this will end well!
I'm sure it will too.
As Delta infections spiked, COVID cases in schools fell—a lesson from England
New data out of England shows that fewer than 1% of school students and staff tested positive for COVID-19 in June, at precisely the time when Delta variant cases were spiking.fortune.com
fucking hell
He’s really invested in Fortune Magazine’s covid opinions.I always get my medical statistics from business websites that couldn't possibly have any ulterior motives!
Meanwhile, my state already has thousands of kids and school staff that have had to quarantine while only being open for 1-4 weeks.
