COVID-19: Chapter 9 - OMGicron

lol what?

Try reading the article, then come back.

Edit: nice edit of yours lol

tbf it’s really hard to figure out what you’re talking about, as it requires guessing at what part of your position is lying about others positions versus your lack of understanding of basic immunology.

So this guy gets to troll this thread every day?

OK, how about you quote one of them, because I’m pretty sure I’ve been a staunch advocate for vaccinating the previously infected.

My brother has tested positive. He and his wife refuse to be vaxxed over fertility concerns and other easily disproved vaccine myths. Their concern for their own and others’ health, including at-risk family, has been precisely zero throughout the pandemic. They aren’t even deplorable.

I think he thinks memory T cells get activated by an infection but not by the vaccine for some reason, but it’s very hard to tell.

Then you should retract your accusations of trolling, Mr Trolly.

Folks. Consider this a knock it off.

Arguing about what someone else said months ago is likely to get exiled to bickering. I see little value in rehashing.

Focus on what you think now and what other people are saying now.

He’s not even making an argument over something anyone actually said months ago. He’s just fabricated something he thought we said and claims victory.

Just to clear up any confusion, you absolutely do get a robust T-cell response from vaccines. Also, you should 100% still get the vaccine even if you think you’ve already been infected.

Messenger-RNA (mRNA) vaccines against the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 provoke a swift and strong response by the immune system’s T cells – the heavy armor of the immune system – according to a study from researchers in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Although recent studies of vaccines tend to focus on the antibody response, the T-cell response is also an important and potentially more durable source of protection – yet little has been reported so far on the T-cell response to COVID-19 vaccines.

I don’t think this thread should be misleading people about such an important matter of public health.

6 posts were merged into an existing topic: Bickering about old drama

I really can’t wrap my brain around throwing away a good job for this. Apparently they were on a probationary period as new employees of <6 months so they got canned instead of placed on unpaid leave. There’s still 671 out of compliance but would get unpaid leave if they don’t agree to testing.

Well they might have gotten fired but did you consider that they owned the libs?

Fwiw it’s worth the current claim of immune system memory in vaxxed vs virus acquired immunity should stay here. There is a lot of covidiots using the “I got pozzed so that as good as or better as being vaxxed” line. It’s an important discussion. It’s hard to help that misinterpretation of the data and facts is happening from a repeat offender.

Here’s another article on the same topic. I thought KHN was a relatively reputable outlet, but this article—which has some good info in it—suffers from excessive both-sidesing. As in equal time to people saying “natural immunity is good enough” and people saying “we don’t know enough yet”.

That said, evidence is growing that contracting SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes covid-19, is generally as effective as vaccination at stimulating your immune system to prevent the disease. Yet federal officials have been reluctant to recognize any equivalency, citing the wide variation in covid patients’ immune response to infection.

I’m not following this “controversy” that closely, but I’m not even sure the bolded is true. Maybe “both-sidesing” is giving the author too much credit.

It’s one thing to refuse to get vaccinated for some idiotic reason. It’s another to also refuse to be regularly tested. The only reason you’d do this is if you don’t really believe there’s a pandemic, and you reject any public health or safety concerns. No sympathy.

Also, 6’2 and 225 here…but 35 and realized I’m overweight so am rowing (on a machine) and playing hockey again to try and drop 25 lbs over the next 3-4 months
