24kt gold. Now that the precedent has been set, they will try to run endless experiments on us and take away all rights in the name of protecting the elderly and obese from the flu. And people who get dopamine surges from obeying authority will lap it up.Maddy wrote: ↑Tue Apr 06, 2021 9:38 pm What the statistics show, consistently, is that had the overweight and obese population simply lost weight, the vast majority of deaths and serious complications could have been avoided.

For this they destroyed our economy, our currency, our liberty, and our future.
This is why we need to break the US up. Freedom loving people get the red states in the middle with texas as the capital. I'd love to include my beloved FL if possible.

If you mean sick right now, yes, the owners and a couple key people of the small business my son works for. The owner, his wife, the right hand man, and the wife of the sales guy.
Those are the only ones I know at the moment, but I'm in an older age group so most of my contemporaries have been vaccinated.
Ironically, the right hand man had his first vax shot 10 days prior to getting sick. The owner had his first one just a day or two before catching it. They think they caught it at a restaurant, because the sales guy's wife was in the restaurant the same day but not with that group.

The infamous "they"! Who specifically comprises this "they". Are they working in concert? Do they have secret meetings to coordinate their activities for maximum effectiveness? How were they able to accomplish so much a year ago when we had a Republican president, senate, and supreme court - controlling 75% of the national government? And, weren't Republicans also in control of the majority of the state governors and state legislatures?

Some unhealthy people aren't affected by Covid, therefore Covid doesn't disproportionately affect unhealthy people. It's called logic, people.
Re: Does anyone om know anyone that is even sick?
Well, now that's much clearer. However it's not what you said. Here's a direct quote from your post:
"I have yet to even meet in real life someone who said they were ever sick."
As it happens, much of my post answers your modified question, whether we know anyone who is sick AND in the hospital right now (you added that qualification a few posts back). The answer is "yes". Sorry, the virus still exists....which only detracts from what I think is your main point, that Fauci, the CDC director et al are severely overreacting. Actually they're behaving like toddlers who are afraid their pacifier is about to be taken away.

Very bad news to report. The wife of the sales guy died last night. She was hospitalized for 10 days or so, and was intubated for the past few days. She was a middle aged mom, probably 40's. Didn't know her, so I can't comment on her prior health. Terrible situation.I Shrugged wrote: ↑Wed Apr 07, 2021 8:17 am If you mean sick right now, yes, the owners and a couple key people of the small business my son works for.

Just to clarify: you were saying that one guy had had shot #1 10 days before getting sick, and the other had shot #1 just 1-2 days before getting sick. Are you implying that the wife had no vaccination?

Our understanding is that the wife had not been vaccinated.Xan wrote: ↑Thu Apr 22, 2021 11:33 amHow awful!I Shrugged wrote: ↑Thu Apr 22, 2021 10:06 amVery bad news to report.

Re: Does anyone om know anyone that is even sick?
Very sad news indeed. So sorry to hear that, Shrugged.
The vaccines are supposed to confer protection by 2 weeks after the first shot. So the 10 day would mean maybe ok, maybe partial protection. The 1-2 day would be probably almost no protection, not really different from not vaccinated.
Of course, risk factors weigh heavily on the outcomes, and we don't have that information. Obesity, diabetes, heart & lung disease are the big ones. And vitamin D status.
