The young are among the most vaccine resistant and some are among the most antisocial. I imagine all of these protesters were unvaxxed and none wore masks. Such people exist everywhere, but are a relatively small minority.

When hospitals are overwhelmed in the future, not everybody will be locked down, just the unvaxxed, no point in locking down the vaccinated.

The prophylactic treatment shot doesn't prevent infection or transmission. It's a good way to keep yourself from dying, but it's not protecting society by getting it.

An unvaxxed person is ten times more likely to contract the virus and eleven times more likely to end up in hospital or die than vaxxed persons. So yes, we are protecting society.

It is true that cbd and cannabis in general has healing qualities.

Still, though. You aren't suggesting that in lieu of vaccination are you?

No. Just for remedial effects caused by the virus or whatever they come up with. Would be cool if there was a break through with this type of thing and Cannabis though. It would be a big positive plus for the herbs medical capacity.

At the beginning of the pandemic there was a lot of uncertainty whether suppressing inflammation was a good thing or a bad thing. MJ was mentioned during that period as perhaps harming people's immune response. Some said it would help. It's good to see that they are following up and a different consensus might be emerging.

COVID-19 and Cannabis Smoking and Vaping

THC from cannabis smoke or in other forms can inhibit the ability of the immune system to
protect the body from foreign pathogens, thus increasing susceptibility to infections. For example,
growing evidence from preclinical studies in rodents and monkeys has shown that THC is able to
suppress the ability of immune system cells and “immune messengers” to modulate an adequate
immune response (Eisenstein & Meissler (2015) against foreign pathogens such as viruses. In
humans, some studies have shown that THC can inhibit the functioning of several types of immune
cells in the lungs (Shay et al., 2003; Tashkin & Roth, 2006), an effect that has been suggested
to alter the immune system defences of lungs and increases susceptibility to infections. There
have not been many studies examining the effects of THC and other cannabinoids on the immune
system in humans (NASEM, 2017) and more studies are needed to confirm the effects of THC on
immune competencies in both healthy and compromised individuals (NASEM, 2017). However,
the large body of preclinical evidence supports the hypothesis that THC has a potential affect on
immune functioning


Cannabidiol Inhibits SARS-CoV-2 Replication and Promotes the Host Innate Immune Response
Our results suggest that CBD can block SARS-CoV-2 infection at early stages of infection, and CBD administration is associated with a lower risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection in humans. Furthermore, the active compound in patients is likely to be 7-OH-CBD, the same metabolite implicated in CBD treatment of epilepsy. The substantial reduction in SARS-CoV-2 infection risk of approximately an order of magnitude in patients who took FDA-approved CBD highlights the potential efficacy of this drug in combating SARS-CoV-2 infection. Finally, the ability of CBD to inhibit replication of MHV raises the possibility that CBD may have efficacy against new pathogenic viruses arising in the future.

Not a lot else easy to find.
