COVID-19: Chapter 9 - OMGicron

Re: Conn College, I wonder if their outbreak is overwhelmingly due to unvaccinated people out and about, not masked vaccinated people out and about, or even unmasked vaccinated people out and about.

Youre a good boss and a good dude. Well done

The population is like 98%+ vaccinated. Most of the cases were thought to be while unmasked.

So is this evidence of asymptomatic vaccinated people spreading covid?

Yeah, not impossible, but it’s pretty unlikely to have 100 viral particles on your nose hairs only and nowhere else in your nose. And even if that were the case that 100% of the viral particles in your nose were not in contact with any cells, any swab that would collect 100 of them would smear around a bunch of others into contact with your cells. So, it’s not totally impossible, but it seems incredibly improbable to have detectable levels of virus in your nose but not have any one of them infect any cells.

No, because the population isn’t isolated.

gutfield is this guy

Very likely to at least some extent.

College campuses would seem like one of the more conducive environments for that to happen in.

Holy shit the comments on that youtube. It’s like 50 kelhus’s. I ABHOR violence in all its forms. Which is why I must let Hitler live.

So do you think that any of the cases spread from asymptomatic vaccinated people, or do you think that 100% of the cases came from the unvaxxed or outside of the student population?

It’s possible, and even likely, but the important question here is if fully vaccinated people can efficiently transmit the virus, and this is not good evidence that it does.

So you do not believe that in this case, vaccinated students were transmitting to other vaccinated students?

It’s because of the all the unvaxxed morons. That’s why we can’t have nice things.

It’s also because subtlety gets lost.

Williams, who has been with ESPN since 2011, shared that she’s trying to have another child and has concerns about how the vaccine will impact her fertility.

“While my work is incredibly important to me, the most important role I have is as a mother,” she wrote. “Throughout our family planning with our doctor, as well as a fertility specialist, I have decided not to receive the COVID-19 vaccine at this time while my husband and I try for a second child.”

This is stupid and dangerous. Of course this sentence doesn’t make logical sense in English–it’s just a way to rope in doctors to imply medical legitimacy that doesn’t exist.

“I understand vaccines have been essential in the effort to end this pandemic, however taking the vaccine at this time is not in my best interest,” she continued. “After a lot of prayer and deliberation, I have decided I must put my family and personal health first. I will miss being on the sidelines and am thankful for the support of my ESPN family. I look forward to when I can return to the games and job that I love.”

I’ve encountered this multiple times IRL now and have each time heard about “concerns” and “doing their research.” Oh yeah which lab you working out of? It’s always this one LDO:

Where did the idea that the COVID-19 vaccine impacts fertility come from?

There are a few possible sources. The idea that the COVID-19 vaccine impacts fertility likely came from a social media post [DeAnna Larkins - Sounds like we either awaken as a...] that said that the spike protein on SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, was the same as another spike protein called syncytin-1, Cackovic says.

So you believe it is likely that on a campus where 99% of students are vaccinated, and 10% of them got covid, none of them ever spread it. That sounds hard to believe.

Are you aware that their Department of Public Health epidemiologists said that gatherings of students spread the virus to other students on campus in apartments and residence hall rooms, and that this transmission started a chain reaction of people picking up the virus and then passing it on to others in more settings?

Given the 99% of the vaccinated student population, vaccinated students are almost certainly part of the “chain reaction of people picking up the virus and then passing it on to others” that they refer to.

Do you not believe the epidemiologists?
