ha... "fear mongering" got rid of Trump? how original... is that how you justify it? I guess it's a better answer than the true comedy from the right as they continue to push the election fraud narrative even to this day... it is embarrassing to watch as the media is so afraid to anger their master about his election loss... too many politicians fear that they better stay on message or they will get a primary challenge... meanwhile every common sense person by now has realized the travesty of lying to the public about a stolen election that incited simple minded mouth breathers into an insurrection... BTW, the Cuomos getting canceled is a sad march down a continued path of cancel culture... those that cheer it or even laugh at it are the problem because it is a serious problem in this country... it needs to end.

But, don't worry... history tells us that mid terms are likely to swing back... absolutely nothing will change.... but hey you get to post memes about it.... that's what really matters to the right.

(General prediction is more contagious but less lethal.. impact on the unvaccinated is TBD)

Omicron Cases at Norway Christmas Party Provide Clues on New Variant’s Spread

It spread among fully vaccinated people, but symptoms among those infected so far appear mild

Actually I’m very aware of what is being reported, I’m also aware of the actual studies being done. I’m also aware of the politics, financial benefits and a host of other things regarding the pandemic.
What I don’t go with are general predictions, pro or con, especially if they are reported by news media.

If covid is endemic there will be fertile opportunity forever for the Left to maintain restrictions and mandates by stoking the covid-panic. There is always another variant or a possibility of one somewhere in the world, there is always a possibility of erring on the safe side, there is always a chance somebody will infect another, etc.

Some of the very same non-logic we see now in regards to vaxxes, masks, mandates, etc. can be applied forever in the context of endemic Covid.

Fortunately, the political Left is unlikely to maintain its DC majority much longer and normalcy will return.

^ Left, right, why is everything sports? People are individuals with their own beliefs. FFS, 2 people who are "left" may still have differing opinions. Agendas are annoying. These posts are, in a word, dumb. Politics always has been.

This (given the target age) is further evidence the initial dose of the vax wanes fairly quickly - given that, it is not a surprise so many folks with the initial dose subsequently get infected and can spread the disease:

CNN: The US Food and Drug Administration on Thursday authorized the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine for use as a booster in people ages 16 and 17, and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended it for this age group.

It's the first Covid-19 vaccine booster authorized for 16- and 17-year-olds in the United States.

Just as with adults, 16- and 17-year-olds are eligible to receive a booster dose six months after their second dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine. About 2.6 million US teens in this age group would be eligible for boosters already -- a small addition to the 141 million adults already eligible for boosters.


https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/09/healt...ion/index.html

If you buy the narrative regarding otherwise healthy 16 year olds and initial Covid shots, I guess you must apply that same narrative to otherwise healthy 16 year olds and boosters.

Exactly. What are the vaccinated so terrified about? If they trust "the science", there should be no reason to worry. Now the CEO of Pfizer is recommending a 4th shot because of the Omicron. This will never end because Big Pharma is loving the billions in profits and the media is having a blast terrifying the gullible and making money on clicks and ads.

The insane part is a load of my friends and family who have been double and triple vaxxed are all coming down the the Rona and they are spreading it to each other. My kids, husband and unvaccinated friends and family have been going on close to two years without catching the Rona. Makes you wonder how effective these "so called" vaccines really are. Eventually we are all going to catch it whether vaccinated or unvaccinated and there is no way to avoid it unless you stay locked in your house and avoid all human contact.

They keep moving the goalposts. Pretty soon they are going to recommend getting a booster every three months. When is enough enough?

The vaccine does not eliminate the potential catching or spreading of Covid, however it does reduce the chances and reduces the severity.
.Recent cases are 5x higher for the unvaccinated than vaccinated. Recent deaths from Covid are 13x higher for those who aren't vaccinated than those who are.

No doubt this coronavirus, like so many coronaviruses, is evolving and becoming less deadly but more contagious. So, the vaxxed and the unvaxxed are infected and can spread the less deadly variants. So, we can't eliminate the virus.

There will always be cases (higher and lower at various times and locales) and even Covid-related deaths and hospitalizations here in the US. All three of of which can be cherry-picked, distorted, and sensationalized. Which is rather convenient for those who find an appeal (quasi-science, political, and otherwise) in mandates, lockdowns, masks, and other restrictions.

by you and the other 3-4 circle jerkers.

Everyone ignore these clown shoes. Mask, vax, distance, stay safe. There is a huge winter surge, many in my nabe are getting it. More mild flu than bad cold but without the vax, who knows. Does anyone with asthma like having a chest infection?! Does that give them a warm fuzzy?! Does ANYONE like having an avoidable upper respiratory infection with potential long term consequences AND the capability to make your family acutely sick? DOES ANYONE like to make their family sick?! Does anyone like standing in a cold line to get tested when it is AVOIDABLE? Who DOESN'T enjoy a nice mild flu in self imposed quarantine!? See, you ass hats who poo poo every part of the discussion to make it your science coffee klatch have no concern with the human element. That makes you a-holes, not scientists. I implore the good people to ignore these jerks. They've made their point(s). They keep making them because repetition is how you make BS stick.
