They do both talk about shots a lot.
Well done. Very well done.

Gomer Pyle is equivalent to Einstein when compared to some of the antivaxxers and anti-maskers out there. Until covid came along, I didn't realize there were so many intellectually deprived people living in the US. Very disconcerting to be honest. And it is not just intelligence. There is a complete lack of logic, rationality and common sense in these people.

They should be equivalent, but there was a big thing about fake KN95 masks being sold a little while back. There are some sites that you can find that you can use to make sure your KN95’s are okay. Thanks. Everything I have checked seems correct except since I purchased in July they have they...www.vcuramnation.com
That was the way I read this one yesterday. I had a long post written up with links etc. tried to delete something out of it and ended up whacking the whole post:-/
Anyway, plenty of studies have shown that antibody titers and efficacy declines over time with both vaccines and Covid cases. Your point to me seemed to be, if one has had Covid, why vaccinate?
Did I read that incorrectly?
I do not see where I questioned vaccine efficacy in that post. My apologies for causing anyone to think otherwise. My underlying point in that post is that I believe the time has come to start measuring antibodies to determine whether one needs the help of a vaccine, be it initial or a booster, rather than carte blanche vaccination. I also believe by allowing to do so would lessen the amount of distrust that we see against the vaccinations. Slowly that is happening. Shouldn't we not be aiming for less distrust? We have already seen the CDC recognize immunity from a prior infection occurring within the last 3 months. That is a start. I have also read favorable opinions of this. One such is from this article. Please take time to read it. It is an opinion piece from a well known epidemiologist from Johns Hopkins.
It’s time to check antibodies and take the guesswork out of this pandemic
Whether you got vaccinated back in the spring or got COVID-19 last year — or both — are you still protected from the virus?

completely stops infection (by the original covid and delta variant) in over 90% of the people
Nice qualifiers. lol. You sure do like to argue.

My man I’m not sure what you arguing here. The vaccine keeps you out of the hospital(Which is a big part of having it. People died because of the overload/sheer volume. If you stretch the system too fair eventually it snaps.) as well as potential deathbed. It’s not gonna stop you from potentially getting it. People need to understand that. The point is to limit the spread and effects to the point the virus has limited hosts and limited ability to mutate. Having said this it’s known that it’s very effective in preventing you from getting the early versions of covid. Obviously Omicron came later. Even so even if you get Omicron which is less severe it offers additional protection particularly if you had the booster.

You ought to know.
1. I agree with everything in your post.
2. He said it completely stops the virus, then qualifies it with exceptions which is not true of "completely stops". That is laughable.
Both 1 and 2 can be correct.

Looks like we have a new wave of postponements. None in the A10, though (yet).

Hopefully it is all behind us.
FWIW, my son and daughter inlaw spent a couple days with her family over Christmas. All 15 vaxed but 11 ended up with Covid. Delta.
If we get the snowstorm that’s possible this weekend, then our game against St. Joe’s could get cancelled for a whole different reason.
Not completely true. Something we can all agree on (maybe) is way too much misinformation/BS/fake news. The short of it, some drug companies took a lump sum to develop their vaccine and some are getting paid per dose. Regardless, big business.
