Covid-19

Wow.

I watched the video. I'm always skeptical of first reports (which are almost wrong) and of the people who present themselves as victims leaving important parts out of the story (which they almost always do). But I've seen enough of the Big Media cabal to think that there are shenanigans afoot.

I guess I also don't understand the search warrant. Are they actually asking for anything, or are they just letting the target of the information know that they did the search?
 
The part about the flu vaccine is interesting, and something I didn't know. I dutifully get the flu shot every year, because I think (thought?) it works.

The article seems to state that it readlly doesn't, and that people who tend to get vaccines voluntarily tend to have better health outcomes all around. The flu shot, according to the article, is largely a placebo. We think it works, so we get it every year, but what's really keeping us safe is lifestyle choices, genetic lottery, and blind luck.

Very interesting "correlation vs. causation" read.

Flu vax efficacy has been anywhere between 19% and about 70%. Most hover around 50%. And those are the 'classic' non-mRNA vaccines.

One thing, a good thing, that has come from the last three years is people are willing to ask questions and question the methodology.

I had no idea. I thought it was like a 100% thing.

That's a big problem with how health communication works as a whole.

We understand vaccines in the sense of things like Polio or Measles, which are basically 100% efficacy.

It's a disservice to public health to pretend the flu vaccine is the same as thoses.

The vaccine is usually (off the top of my head) developed to focus on the handful (4/5) of strains expected to be the most dangerous that year.

There's 3 strains of the flu the infect humans, and I think ~20 variations in those strains.
Add in that stuff mutates so much, and it's no wonder most people still may get the flu.

Flu vaccines need to be publicly communicated more like sun screen and skin cancer; it doesn't prevent you from getting the disease, but it can lower risk.
 
Same. I am so thankful neither one of my children got it.

We never had the intention of giving it to them because of the data showing low risk to their age groups.
My daughter has an irrational fear of needles. There was a shot requirement to access federal facilities and the pool she swam in was federal. She went through with the first shot because swimming means so much to her and we wanted minimal changes to their routines.Then they added an exemption for youth sports. So we didn't consider putting her through that again.
The boy was an absolute no from the start. To many warnings from the start.
Plus they both had the original strains, she recovered both times within 24 hours. He sniffled a couple of times and had no other symptoms, after a few hours.
 
I tell you, every cock sucker from government to "medical professionals" to boot lickers that advocated for all of this, mandates, masks, lock downs, jabs, while calling us conspiracy theorists should be fucking burned down. You wonder why folks are pissed. You wonder why there's no trust in government and medicine.

Just another layer of the class/culture war.

The type of viruses that polio and measles are don't mutate; the kind of viruses that are flu, colds, mutate. And this year they are betting on what the prevalent strains will be next year. I will be curious to see what the efficacy is for this year's vaccine given that it was quadrivalent.

Nursing Ranked as the Most Trusted Profession for 21st Year in a Row

Nurses number 1 (for 21st year in a row), physicians number 2. I see no animus at work from patients with docs and nurses; I would be very curious to see a poll about types of physicians to see how that pans out.

Edited to add, I would be curious to see the top five over the past based on percentages.

Should have said, "medical professionals" as in the turds advocating the nonsense, I know many that still drunk the Kool-aid.

Interesting that the military doesn't seem to be in the poll.
