LOL!Nonsense.... if anything COVID deaths are undercounted.
So many lies in this thread by GWB that it’s hard to spin them together.
LOL!Nonsense.... if anything COVID deaths are undercounted.
No such thing as Long Covid. Come see me in five years with people still suffering from Covid symptoms that they have today, then you can claim such a thing as long Covid. As of today the vaccine risk is far greater for healthy young people than the risks associated with Covid.Let's just have infected "healthy" kids running around infecting everyone else.
It sounds like you don't have a clue about how herd immunity works.
The downside of catching COVID for kids -- especially including life-long medical issues (aka Long COVID) is much worse than the possible side-effects of the vaccine.
I stated over and over again there is "vaccinated herd immunity". Are you deaf or dumb?
There is no "natural herd immunity" with COVID since getting there would require an awful death toll and natural antibody immunity is not present in 40% of those infected at the 6 month mark and wanes significantly in most of the other 60%.
There is a T-Cell response which reduces the potential impact of a future infection. There is no T-cell immunity -- this is a farce. Only antibodies provide immunity. People -- like you -- pushing T-cell immunity nonsense after actual tests found only a low percentage of the population with antibodies -- were simply pushing your latest fantasy to try to justify your failed "no-lockdown" narrative.
There is plenty of evidence for asymptomatic spread of COVID. In fact people tend to be the most infectious in their early days of contacting it before they show symptoms.
It appear you know little about COVID and are simply continuing to push absurd narratives.
A. You presented a fucking model you moron.... you need to present evidence.
studies which did contact tracing and found significant asymptomatic spread.
you have been lying your ass off outdoor spread and asymptomatic spread for a year.
here is the language from you citation...
Findings In this decision analytical model assessing multiple scenarios for the infectious period and the proportion of transmission from individuals who never have COVID-19 symptoms, transmission from asymptomatic individuals was estimated to account for more than half of all transmission.
Meaning The findings of this study suggest that the identification and isolation of persons with symptomatic COVID-19 alone will not control the ongoing spread of SARS-CoV-2.
b.
No such thing as Long Covid. Come see me in five years with people still suffering from Covid symptoms that they have today, then you can claim such a thing as long Covid. As of today the vaccine risk is far greater for healthy young people than the risks associated with Covid.
Once again you are shoveling nonsense that natural infection provides lasting immunity -- let's look at the facts as found in most in-depth studies. There is also the issue of long COVID which you ignore.
So not only can "Long COVID" appear months after a person was infected... but the maximum natural anti-body immunity to re-infection disappears after 9 months... and after a mere 3 months in most people.
Experts raise concerns on long Covid symptoms appearing after six months to a year from infection
NK Arora, chief of Operations Research Group, part of the national Covid task force, also said antibodies may remain in the system for three to nine months.

Quick Summary: Nearly 40% of people who had COVID do not develop sufficient anti-bodies to stop them from catching COVID a second time within 6 months. This aligns with other research on re-infections and the percentage of people being re-infected. Only vaccinated anti-body immunity will lead to herd immunity.
From the article:
From the analysis, the researchers created five categories based on how long antibodies lasted in an individual.
The first category, called the "negative" group, included the individuals who never developed detectable neutralizing antibodies. This group comprised 11.6% of participants.
Comprising 26.8% of patients, the second group is called the "rapid waning" group and showed varying early levels of antibodies that waned quickly. The third category comprised 29% of participants and was called the "slow waning" group as these patients tested positive for antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 for up to half a year.
The fourth group, called the "persistent" group, comprised 31.7% of patients and showed little change in their antibody levels up to 180 days. The last group, or the "delayed response" group, covered only 1.8% of subjects and included those who showed a marked rise in neutralizing antibodies during late convalescence.
Individual COVID-19 Antibodies Could Last Days To Decades, Scientists Find

this is the article cited in the article you posted... you moronic lying piece of shit...

In any viral infection, it is expected that both antibody and T-cell responses will play roles in protective immunity and there are published studies to suggest that this might also be true for SARS-CoV-2 infection.
In patients who have recovered from COVID-19, some individuals have very low levels or absence of neutralising antibodies, indicating that T-cell immunity could be the dominant mechanism, at least in some individuals.
However, high levels of neutralising antibodies appear to be correlated with protection against reinfection.
