This will age well.

Re: India, they dropped their mobility to 1/3 of normal and wore masks. Best US ever did was drop their mobility to 2/3 of normal and somehow politicized wearing masks. The end result is that a huge interconnected slum did better than the greatest nation on earth.

No. Did you not read my post. Over 1 billion Indians have antibodies to Covid. Wearing masks and dropping mobility didn't do jack shit. The delta variant swept through the whole country, most people got it, and some people died, and most people didn't. And the real interesting question is whether them all taking Ivermectin like it was candy was effective in reducing the morbidity/mortality.

Edit: Also FWIW not everyone who gets Covid even makes antibodies, and the antibodies wear out over time. If antibody levels indicate 70% of the population has had Covid, that is probably an undercount.

Am I correct to understand the point you're making is everyone is getting the virus at one point or another and that resistance is futile?

Well, if someone is ok going in hermit mode indefinitely, and hoping that works, then go for it. I would just say expect to be disappointed when you eventually do get it anyways (assuming you even realize when you get it). I'll just live my life and am not going to judge anyone else choosing to live theirs either.

As an interesting anecdote, Jason Whitlock (whose podcast I listen to) admitted that a close friend of his who had Covid was having some breathing issues and went to the hospital, and when he was discharged he called Jason to come pick him up and Jason said he was too scared and wouldn't do it, and wasn't proud of it. Now Jason is 54 and weights 300+ and very likely hasn't been vaccinated (I don't know if he has ever disclosed his vaccination status, it didn't come up in that story), so he personally had some good reasons to be wary.

But I am at the point where I know I wouldn't hesitate to take a Covid+ relative/friend home from the hospital. I just am not going to let Covid control my life that way.

Rev. Jesse Jackson and his wife are hospitalized with covid.

https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/coro...id-19/2595593/

Civil rights leader and Chicago resident Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. along with his wife, Jacqueline, have been hospitalized after contracting COVID-19, according to the prominent political activist's organization, the Rainbow PUSH Coalition.

In a statement, the organization said the reverend, who is 79 years old, and Jacqueline Jackson, 77, were admitted to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago. Their conditions haven't been released.

Anyone who has been around either person in the last five to six days is advised to quarantine in line with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations, according to Rainbow PUSH.

A protégé of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jackson was key in guiding the modern civil rights movement on numerous issues, including voting rights. Jackson has remained active, most recently advocating for COVID-19 vaccines for Black people, who lag behind white people in the United States’ vaccination drive.

Jackson got his first dose of the vaccine in January during a publicized event at a South Side hospital. He urged others to vaccinate as soon as possible.

In January, the civil rights leader was admitted to Northwestern for "abdominal discomfort" and underwent gallbladder surgery. Jackson spent three weeks at a rehabilitation center for a “short period of exercise and therapy,” because of his Parkinson’s disease, according to Rainbow PUSH.

Jackson has been seeking outpatient care for more than five years for Parkinson’s, a chronic neurological disorder that causes movement difficulties.

Huh. Remember 10 days ago? When you were asking about India? And this was my reply...

"Doubt there's whole lot about Ivermectin.

India did this thing where they wore masks and reduced mobility by 2/3 of typical. The end result was 200k dead and about 60% of population has antibodies.

India at their peak tried everything and now they have some backend numbers. They currently don't advise using Ivermectin, HCQ and handful of other miracle cures with asymptomatic or mild cases. Make of it what you will."

The 2/3 number for antibodies is based on survey about adult population. The 70% figure is an estimate that includes vaccinated. Neither figure gets them over 1 billion.

They have more people without antibodies than you have people. They can still squeeze 600k bodies out of that if they follow the US model.

200k for them is your 50k. So yea they did something. Sadly on their second run they decided to let their "states" decide on lockdowns.

But yea feel free to argue about something you asked about less than 2 weeks ago.

edit: Fairly sure that the 4th time Jack Daniels gets Covid is the one that gives him immunity

But according to a new paper by researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh, this does not paint the full picture. The researchers analysed more than 5 million survey responses by a range of different demographic details, and classed those people who would “probably” or “definitely” not choose to get vaccinated as “vaccine hesitant.”

But more surprising is the breakdown in vaccine hesitancy by level of education. It finds that the association between hesitancy and education level follows a U-shaped curve with the highest hesitancy among those least and most educated. People with a master’s degree had the least hesitancy, and the highest hesitancy was among those holding a Ph.D.

He says it distracts him all day. He is always conscious of it and it’s sort of maddening.

Be interesting how long this lasts.

I’m still running pure so far. I am frankly amazed given everywhere I’ve been and what I do. Just went to the barber and he trimmed my beard so we still have action.

Most likely because the metallic “taste” he thinks he is experiencing in his mouth is actually due to a trick his olfactory nerves (in his nose, where the Rona virus particles are present) are playing on his taste perception.

Don’t think Pfizer getting approval is gonna make a huge difference in vaccine hesitancy. Vaccine brand has been hurt beyond repair because of lies and coverups.

Fun fact, the former head of the FDA, Scott Gottlieb, currently sits on the board of Phizer. So really, FDA approval doesn't mean shit to me. They are all incestuous and in bed together.

Fact:

Some number over 90% of people in ICU’s are unvaccinated.

Objective:

The vaccine brand has been hurt beyond repair

For someone who preaches taking action and self control and responsibility the ends aren’t lining up with your means.

no matter how many times your faggot ass repeats this lie it will not make it true, they are manipulating the data, using stats from way before the vaccine was widely distributed.

You are right about one thing. No matter how many times I say it it will not make it any more true. It’s true because it is, in fact, the truth.

No matter how many times you reply “stop posting propaganda” doesn’t make my point any less of an absolute fact.

I’m telling you with zero bias (in fact if I’m biased it’s to the this is all bullshit side) that the people currently in ICUs in Palm Beach county hospitals are overwhelmingly unvaccinated.

Maybe the 10,000 other counties I don’t have direct line of sight into are different but that would be an unbelievable outlier.
