COVID-19: Chapter 7 - Brags, Beats, and Variants

Yeah, use the state website for the state sites.

Yeah, I think that’s the same link I sent as well. But that’s the one you need to use. The appointments do seem to drop in buckets. Another tip is to not take the first appointment if a bunch drop… Take teh second or third. If you try to take the first one chances are someone will have beaten you to it. And don’t waste time looking at the date and time. Just click it. Worry about the date and time when youg et to the demographic screen, if the date and time are no good you can always start over.

Yeah I’m having trouble using that site from overseas even with a VPN. I’ll have to ask my sister to do it.

Thanks for the info on the mass vaccination sites

At one point there were a lot of bots using that site. I think they’ve put in all kidns of security to stop bots and stop people from logging on with a vpn.

To date, Brazil has recorded more than 13 million cases of coronavirus, according to the health ministry. Some 66,570 people died with Covid-19 in March, more than double the previous monthly record.

ā€œBrazil now… is a threat to the entire effort of the international community to control the pandemic,ā€ Dr Miguel Nicolelis, who has been closely tracking cases in the country, told the BBC.

ā€œIf Brazil is not under control, then the planet is not going to be safe, because we are brewing new variants every week… and they are going to cross borders,ā€ he said.

Amen

US won’t be much different, should the variants strike and should US choose no lockdown to control…other than the 20% ā€˜fully’ vaccinated, I guess

I’m hoping MI sets a good example and closes almost everything (I know, lol)

Two hundred and forty six Michigan residents have tested positive for Covid-19 after being fully vaccinated, three of whom have died.

Health officials in the state stressed that a small proportion of people take longer than two weeks to develop antibodies after their second shot. Those who caught Covid after both jabs also could have caught Covid prior to vaccination or in the gap between the two shots.

Well that’s a really dumb use of the term ā€œfully vaccinated.ā€ Good to see the media doing all it can to stir up anti-vaccine idiocy.

FULLY VACCINATED GUY* DROPS DEAD OF THE COVID

editor’s note: he might have been infected before getting the vaccine.

Same article said some to the positives could have been residual positives from prior infection and most of them were asymptomatic or mild infections. This is a nothingburger. The vaccine is 95 percent effective. This shit is still going to happen.

all tested positive at least two weeks after receiving the last dose of the inoculation - I doubt all waited 6 weeks to show symptoms

Did you read the article you linked? It actually said that some number of them were probably residual positives from previous infection.

Edit: Also, lol nypost.

Yes

Great, so at least 246 of the fully vaccinated (in MI) are still transmitting 2 weeks after 2nd dose?

If you get infected and then get the vaccine, the vaccine might not help you much.

A review by the drugs regulator MHRA found by the end of March 79 people in the UK suffered rare blood clots after vaccination - 19 of whom died.

The regulator said this was not proof the jab had caused the clots.

But it said the link was getting firmer.

The regulator said the side-effects were extremely rare and the vaccine’s effectiveness was proven.

Only person in this poll waiting to be declared eligible. Fucking Massachusetts

Testing positive does not mean you are actively transmitting covid… There are people who still test positive for months after. It’s the reason the CDC does not require a negative test to exit quarantine after infection.

For comparison, Michigan has had 42k new cases in the last 7 days. If you assumed that those 246 cases among the fully vaccinated happened in the same period (rather than over a span of three months), you’d have the following:

In other words, the fully vaxed would be getting COVID at less than 3% the rate of the unvaxed population. That’s better than the vaccines did in the trials! (Note that this comparison isn’t really correct, since there were fewer vaccinated people during the lookback period, etc, but that would be much harder to do accurately.)

:open_mouth:

If I’m reading this right, you’re more likely to die in Peru of COVID than all other things? Surely I’m misunderstanding that.
