Yeah, I agree . It’s not safe at all. My husband and I were talking about how we ( both fully vaccinated) are going to be back on full protective pandemic mode like in the beginning. Mask up everywhere and social distancing avoiding crowds and being on alert in all public places. It’s not safe and i have direct Patient contact with lots of patients that refuse to get vaccinated . I treat at them now like they are 100% infected and find their attitudes quite upsetting .
Yeah, back to curbside pickup of groceries here too.

Those assholes, the unvaccinated, are going to kill us all.

It has been proven that hot spots, like most of the state of Missouri are breeding grounds for variants.
If I was a neighboring state of Missouri, the Land of the Fucking Idiot, I would stop every car with Missouri plates and tell them to turn the fuck around, your a purveyor of Death & Pestilence.
Florida did it to cars with New York plates & Rhode Island did it to both New York & Connecticut cars.
I wouldn't let anyone from Georgia near me.
Tough shit :)

My wife is going back to teach at the largest school in Connecticut in six weeks (Thank God :) ), with a student population of over1200, ranging from kindergarten to 12th grade & they haven't yet figured out what they're going to do, even relating to masks.
I personally would say masks are mandatory for all, and if your over 12 (That is the age considered safe for vaccination) get a vaccination or stay the fuck home.
This is no bullshit.

California woman first to face federal charges over fake COVID immunizations, vaccination cards | Fox News

California woman first to face federal charges over fake COVID immunizations, vaccination cards
Juli A. Mazi was accused of wire fraud and false statements related to health care matters

A homoeopathic doctor in California became the first person in the United States to face federal charges over fake COVID-19 immunizations and falsified coronavirus vaccine cards.

Juli A. Mazi, 41, of Napa was arrested Wednesday and charged with one count of wire fraud and one count of false statements related to health care matters, the Department of Justice said in a press release.

"This defendant allegedly defrauded and endangered the public by preying on fears and spreading misinformation about FDA-authorized vaccinations, while also peddling fake treatments that put people’s lives at risk. Even worse, the defendant allegedly created counterfeit COVID-19 vaccination cards and instructed her customers to falsely mark that they had received a vaccine, allowing them to circumvent efforts to contain the spread of the disease," said Deputy Attorney General Lisa O. Monaco.

Authorities were first tipped off to Mazi's alleged scheme in April, when a person contacted the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General’s hotline. The tipster said family members had purchased immunization pellets from the doctor that "contained the COVID-19 virus and would create an antibody response in the immune system," the DOJ said.

Along with the pellets, Mazi also reportedly sent COVID-19 vaccination record cards that falsely stated the Moderna vaccine was administered. She allegedly instructed the customers to falsely state on the cards that they received the Moderna vaccine on the date they ingested the pellets.

The affidavit states that Mazi expanded her pre-existing immunization scheme during the pandemic and promised customers that the pellets would provide "lifelong immunity to COVID-19."

She also allegedly encouraged customers to purchase the pellets by claiming the FDA-approved vaccines contain "toxic ingredients," and said children could also take the pellets, as the "dose is actually the same for babies."

As part of the scheme, Mazi allegedly coached customers on how to falsify the vaccine cards with specific Moderna vaccine lot numbers and guidance on how to select false dates of immunization to evade suspicion.

"This doctor violated the all-important trust the public extends to healthcare professionals — at a time when integrity is needed the most," said Special Agent in Charge Steven J. Ryan of the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG). "Working closely with our law enforcement partners, our agency will continue to investigate such fraudsters who recklessly endanger the public’s health during the unprecedented COVID-19 crisis."

The charges come months after the FBI warned that people face harsh penalties for falsifying vaccine cards, noting it is a federal offense.

"The unauthorized use of an official government agency’s seal is a crime and may be punishable under Title 18 United States Code, Section 1017, and other applicable laws," the FBI said in a statement in May.

"If people are selling fraudulent vaccine cards, they are endangering everyone," said Siobhan Johnson with the FBI in May. "So yes, we are looking at those cases and investigating them and there can be severe penalties."

I just met a cancer patient who has long haulers from Covid . He got Covid back in Jan 2020. He went on to get fully vaccinated with Moderna in Jan and Feb of this year. He recently participated in a study to check to see if he has Antibodies to Covid . The study was for people with his cancer diagnosis. he found out he has no antibodies .

The study revealed most people with his type cancer and on cancer medications do not have antibodies even with being vaccinated ....and for him, even having Covid, did not give him antibodies .

This is why it’s so critical for everyone to get vacccinated. Cancer patients undergoing treatment are most likely not protected, no fault of their own. I wish more people would Be kind and try thinking of others and how it might feel if you were walking in their shoes .

I do hope that at home antibody testing hits the market soon. Everyone has the right to know if they are protected against Covid or not and then be able to go get another booster shot . Until then I can’t believe anyone is safe . Take care and good luck !

Either do I, which I why I posted a link to the NIH website.
The issue with your posts are they are "sciency". Some are good like that one while most are either new age antivax crap, wishful thinking or malicious lies. You don't understand the subject. It's like listening to a child telling a story. Except, when an old man tells it like a child, it's not cute.

When I look for information about SARS CoV-2, I don't consult uneducated stage hands.

Thanks for the tacit acknowledgment that T-Cell immunity has been shown to be as effective in combating covid variants as the vax is.

Maybe once you can set aside your biases and ad homonym attacks we could have a constructive conversation. However you don't seem especially interested in that sort of thing, as you are more interested in re-living your bully personality in an anonymous sort of way. I'm guessing that you also don't consult carpenters for information on SARTS CoV-2, but you sure don't seem to have any issue with them making statements on this board, so long as it is in line with your presupposed narrative.

Ex-top Tennessee COVID-19 vaccine official says she was sent dog muzzle before firing
Michelle Fiscus was terminated from the Tennessee Department of Health on Monday, alleging she was used as a scapegoat to please state lawmakers who were upset about the agency’s efforts to increase vaccinations among teenagers.

Fiscus told CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Wednesday that she was sent the dog muzzle a week before she was fired, which at first she thought was a joke.

“At first, I thought that was a joke and contacted a few friends. And then when no one claimed it realized it was something that was sent to me as some kind of a message, I suppose,” Fiscus said.

“They obviously didn't know me because they sent me a size 3, which is for beagles, and I'm obviously a pitbull, which requires a size 6,” she recalled quipping to her husband.

The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security confirmed to The Hill that it is investigating “an incident involving Dr. Michelle Fiscus being sent a muzzle."

State lawmakers criticized Fiscus over a letter she sent to medical providers about a legal mechanism that allows minors over the age of 14 to get vaccinated without parent’s consent.

The doctrine, called the Mature Minor Doctrine, had been around since 1987 and publicly available on the health department’s website since 2008.

LA health official: No COVID-19 patient at major hospital system has been fully vaccinated
"To date, we have not had a patient admitted to a [Department of Health Services] hospital who has been fully vaccinated, with either the J&J, Pfizer or Moderna vaccine," county health services director Christina Ghaly told the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, CNN reports.

She added, "Every single patient that we've admitted for Covid is not yet fully vaccinated."

Ghaly's comments come as Los Angeles County is experiencing a surge in COVID-19 cases as the highly contagious delta variant spreads.

There are around 400 people hospitalized for coronavirus throughout the region, and the disease positivity rate has increased to 3 percent — a figure last seen in the area in February, according to CNN. Last week, the county reported a 165 percent rise in coronavirus infections in a single week.

More than 60 percent of Californians have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

"It’s painful for me to know that nearly every death we are seeing now from COVID-19 could have been prevented," Murthy said. "I say that as someone who has lost 10 family members to COVID-19, and who wishes each and every day that they had the opportunity to get vaccinated."

Biased? Too funny that you think being biased against somebody who repeatedly copies and posts false information is a negative. You lost all credibility with your posts on this subject. Why shouldn't a person point that out? Why shouldn't we be biased against a spreader of harmful disinformation.

You either don't understand the subject or you are a paid for troll. There isn't much else to say about the ravings from an uneducated stage hand.

If I need advice on lighting, I wouldn't hesitate to ask a stage hand for their opinion. Because experience matters. Too funny that your overblown ego makes you feel that you are an expert in immunology, or even qualified to copy and paste something on the subject.

GOP Leaders Back COVID-19 Vaccines As Red States Struggle With Shots (businessinsider.com)

Republican leaders are championing COVID-19 shots as red states struggle with vaccination rates and the Delta variant rips across the US

  • Three Republican leaders have spoken out in favor of COVID-19 vaccines.
  • Mitt Romney said that the politicization of vaccination was "an outrage" and "moronic."
  • Red states tend to have lower vaccination rates than blue states.
Three Republican leaders have spoken out in favor of COVID-19 shots as red-leaning states struggle to get people vaccinated while the highly infectious Delta variant rips across the US.

Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah told the New York Times on Wednesday that it was an "enormous error for anyone to suggest that we shouldn't be taking vaccines." "Look, the politicization of vaccination is an outrage and frankly moronic," he said.

Sen. John Cornyn of Texas said Wednesday that most vaccine skepticism was "based on conspiracy theories, unfortunately." Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said Tuesday that "we need to keep preaching that getting the vaccine is important."

Romney said that President Trump "moved heaven and earth to get vaccines developed on a timely basis" and it would be "an insult to the accomplishment" if people still failed to get the shots, per the Times.

Meanwhile, many Republicans remain skeptical of COVID-19 vaccines, believing the public health campaign to be an infringement on personal liberty. On Monday, several GOP state lawmakers proposed a new law to make it illegal to "discriminate" against people who aren't vaccinated.

Utah, Texas, and Kentucky, which are all red-leaning states, have below-average vaccine rates with respectively 45%, 43%, and 44% fully vaccinated, according to Johns Hopkins University. The national average is 48.2%.

Insider reported on Tuesday that the highest number of new cases caused by the highly infectious Delta coronavirus variant are mostly in states with low vaccination rates — which on the whole are Republican.

Utah and Kentucky fit this trend with more than 80% of new infections caused by the Delta variant, according to Scripps Research Outbreak.info, which uses data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In Kentucky, the formerly dominant Alpha variant accounts for about 60% of new infections, and Delta 30%. The exact numbers of Delta infection may vary because not all positive tests are sequenced.
