r2, the opposite really. Are you saying you think data from the UK Government on infection and death rates is MAGA QAnon right wing horse pills? Are you accusing the UK government of publishing fraudulent health data?

1 Shot: Total Cases = 26,194 | Deaths within 28 Days of + Test = 14 [0.011%]

2 Shots: Total Cases = 137,135 | Deaths within 28 Days of + Test = 679 [0.495%]

Unvaccinated: Total Cases = 183,133 | Deaths within 28 Days of + Test = 390 [0.212%]

Coronavirus burrows into your lungs, heart, kidneys, brain, vascular points. Many who are diagnosed as 'recovered' are left with permanent damage to their bodies. This includes those who had experienced minor or no symptoms. They may never be the same. You do not watch to catch this virus. As for vaccines they give you antibodies without giving you the disease. That's all.

by Anonymousreply 15September 3, 2021 5:58 AM

r15, this vaccine also causes ADE and has killed 11k people, on the record, in the US so far.

by Anonymousreply 16September 3, 2021 6:00 AM

Anti-vaxxers are really just afraid of needles, getting shots and potential side effects, which is why they all respond with the same inaccurate percentages and propaganda anecdotes confirming their bias

r15, 80% of people have natural immunity to CV19, per numerous recent studies, some of which have already been posted here.

I've had both shots of the Moderna vaccine. A month ago I helped my neighbor get into a car so someone could drive him to a hospital. He was unvaccinated and quite sick. I helped lift him into the car. He tested positive for COVID in the hospital. So I believe I was exposed to it that day. For one day I was sneezing, but nothing else. I isolated myself and wore masks whenever I was out. A month later, now, I am fine, I never got sick. He recovered, and returned home, but his body took a beating from it. He is 75 and I think it's amazing he made it through that. This is all anecdotal, of course, but I believe the vaccine helped protect me. You can throw around numbers all you want. I have seen firsthand the effects of the virus on someone, and I am extremely glad I got vaccinated against that virus.

by Anonymousreply 19September 3, 2021 6:11 AM

r19, I'm glad you both recovered. But this isn't "throwing around numbers". It's statistical health data that should be used to influence policy and it mirrors that which came out of Israel over the summer. The double vaccinated are nearly 2.5 times as likely to die from CV19 as the unvaccinated and the single vaxxed are doing notably better than both of those other groups. Also, the double vaxxed group shows nearly 3 times as many people under 50 becoming deathly ill as the unvaxxed group.

So, why do you think, given this hard data, that American media is making the provably false claim that 99% of people dying are unvaccinated?

If FOX News and the internet were around in the 1950s polio would still be striking down children everywhere.

by Anonymousreply 21September 3, 2021 6:24 AM

I'm vaccinated, but I do find r12's point from that UK report (pages 22 and 23) quite troubling. Why would the vaccine make it easier to die from the infection?

by Anonymousreply 22September 3, 2021 6:28 AM

The drugs don’t work, Richard. But the vaccine does.

by Anonymousreply 23September 3, 2021 6:29 AM

r21, millions of children died and paralyzed during the first five years of the polio vaccine because it wasn't tested well enough or long enough and many of the vials were loaded with live virus. But you go on with your masturbatory ignorance.

by Anonymousreply 24September 3, 2021 6:31 AM

r22, Because the shots are inducing ADE and destroying people's immune systems. This is what happens when you 1) rush through a scientific process that normally takes at least 15 years, 2) eliminate the control group 6 months into trials, and 3) trust a pharmaceutical company that has been sued for gross negligence and fraud to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars just over the last decade.

by Anonymousreply 25September 3, 2021 6:32 AM

Moron at R2, etc. 95% of people in England are fully vaccinated. It's about the same for Scotland, and Northern Ireland and Wales too. Around 20 million of the UK's 67 million population is over 50 years of age. 95% of that the over-50s is around 19 million people. For there to be only 679 deaths from the Delta variant among 19 million people - and, let's not forget, this is the elderly population (over-70s and over-80s) with diseases and comorbidities - is remarkable.

The unvaccinated remaining 1 million of the over-50s (5%) has experienced 390 deaths from the Delta variant. If you include all the non-fully vaccinated (i.e. those who died before 14 days after their 2nd dose) that's 520 people.

The vaccines don't just work, they work bloody well.

You're also dim, r22.

I'm not arguing with anyone who thinks they're smarter than President Trump!

by Anonymousreply 27September 3, 2021 6:42 AM

To just further help maybe emphasize that vaccines work: I work at a designated COVID hospital and work with COVID patients all day, every day. I can say I have only pronounced one vaccinated person dead as opposed to many unvaccinated patients. More importantly, the vaccinated person that passed away ultimately passed due to an underlying illness exacerbated by their COVID infection. Most of my colleagues in other cities are seeing the same thing. So - YAY! - vaccines (and very smart people who were so quickly able to produce these vaccines).

r28, that's a cool anecdote, but it's anomalous to the actual data out of the UK, Israel and Iceland, which aren't politicizing, hiding or refusing to even collate data, as the US is.

by Anonymousreply 33September 3, 2021 7:08 AM

R33, the data out of the UK shows that out of 19 million people over the age of 50 who were fully vaccinated only 679 have died from the Delta variant. Out of the 1 million people over 50 who are not vaccinated, 390 have died from the Delta variant and there were a further 120 deaths in the only partially vaccinated. That proves that being fully vaccinated massively reduces your chances of dying from Covid.

by Anonymousreply 34September 3, 2021 7:14 AM

The US is hiding Covid deaths, r33? I doubt it.

by Anonymousreply 35September 3, 2021 7:16 AM

Hey R1 et al...

Don't know what you think you'll gain by posting misconstrued stuff about vaxxed vs unvaxxed around here. Gay people are among the HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF VAXXED groups around. We still remember HIV ya moron. We're one of the most informed and active demos when if comes to plague awareness and prevention.

We all already have the shots. So take your shit stirring somewhere else dummy.

Here's the thing: vaccinated people can catch COVID, of course. But the vaccinated immune system flushes it out of the body. COVID plants itself into unvaccinated people and never ever leaves.

Ah, I was a massive fan of The Verve in my youth, and had a crush on moody Rich as well. How to feel😔

‘Butterfly’, ‘On Your Own’, ‘History’, and ‘Love Is Noise’ are sublime dreampop songs I still listen to even now.

The Gallagher brothers of the band Oasis are basically in love with him. They literally wrote the song ‘Cast No Shadow’ about their weird joint crush on him.

Rich only seems to like Liam back, though.
