A Pandemic of the Unvaccinated

Last spring, a year after COVID-19 had first ripped through the United States, Republican lawmakers in Montana doubled down.

They passed the nation’s most extreme anti-vaccination law. Not even nurses in a cancer ward could be required to get the shots.

Less than three months later, the delta wave slammed into Big Sky Country.

Inside one hospital just over a mile from the statehouse, doctors were forced to make the kinds of choices Americans had long feared.

This is a story about what can happen when politics trump public health.

How Republicans in Montana hijacked public health and brought a hospital to the brink

A federal judge in Louisiana ruled Tuesday that the Biden administration has 21 days to turn over all relevant emails sent by White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and Dr. Anthony Fauci to social media platforms regarding alleged misinformation and the censorship of social media content.

Meanwhile, in Canada, Trudeau threatens fall lockdowns if we don't hit 85-90% rate with the new bivalent clot shot. And the Vax Advisory Board recommends jabs every 3 months.
You in, GWB? You going with the Ad-vice and 'protecting' yourself from Covid. Or is that still the supposed reason to get this thing?

https://torontosun.com/news/nationa...ans-consider-a-covid-19-booster-every-90-days

If you gotta take it every 90 days, it doesn't prevent transmission, and only lessens symptoms, then it's not a vaccine - it's more like a government mandated aspirin with massive risk of heart problems, blood clots and 19 more pages of adverse outcomes.

Why the fuck would anybody still get this shit? How sheepley are these people?

First -- the current vaccines are slightly effective (12% to 38%) in stopping transmission and infection of BA.4/BA.5 Omicron. Having Covid naturally provides zero protection against being re-infected.

Second -- the new Omicron booster is expected to be 78% effective at stopping Omicron infection or transmission. Time will tell the actual effectiveness.

The current NACI guidance in Canada is every 9 months -- as noted in the article. This is just a proposal regarding the current (non-Omicron) boosters based on them waning quickly in an Omicron wave.

Note that Canada just approved the Omicron boosters on September 1st -- but not many doses are available yet in Canada.

BTW -- I plan to get my Omicron booster in October and urge others to do the same.

you are so fucking wrong, pincushion

The risk of SARS-CoV-2 reinfection and COVID-19 hospitalisation in individuals who have survived and recovered from a previous infection remained low for up to 20 months.

When Omicron came around --- as noted in many recent papers/studies -- there is no basically no natural immunity from prior infection.

The paper you posted from March of 2022 and only used data from before August of 2021 -- hence it did not study the Omicron time period -- is next to meaningless.
