Olympics are in danger now, because, wait for it... Perfectly healthy, young, mostly vaccinated, athletes in peak physical condition are testing positive for Covid. When will the testing stop?
Tokyo 2020 organizing committee chief won't rule out last-minute cancellation of Olympics
COVID-19 cases are rising in Tokyo, and the Games, postponed last year because of the pandemic, will be held without spectators. Japan this month decided that participants would compete in empty venues to minimize health risks.
There have been 67 cases of COVID-19 infections in Japan among those accredited for the Games since July 1, when many athletes and officials started arriving, organizers said Tuesday.
It’s just great seeing the economy beginning to tank again due to Anti-Vaxholes. This ain’t hard people. And I’d like to keep my retirement savings intact please, do you?
Get the damn shot.
Hate to veer off topic, but the stock market does not equal the economy.
To get back on topic somewhat, do you honestly think the delta variant, or the "Anti-Vaxholes", is what caused the drop today?
Hate to look beyond one day but....
Stock market is an indicator. Plus we have all that data about the economy over the last 14 months when Covid was tearing through the population. If it happens again, it most certainly will effect the economy again. And the same people complaining about shutting down businesses etc will be to blame.
Thankful your retirement bounced back today! What do you think caused the bounce today? Dead cat bounce? Unvaccinated getting vaccinated? Economy all of a sudden back? Maybe the stock market is just manipulated. Dunno.
I think people not getting the vaccine are certainly the cause for the risk of the economy crashing again and for the fears related to it that was part of the cause for the stock market. People know that there is a large cult group that will not get the vaccine until their Cult of Personality tells them too, and that ain't happening. So they are concerned about the future.
Because POOTWH’s 25000+ previous lies and purposefully misleading statements don’t have influence. I wouldn’t do anything POOTWH recommended. He has zero credibility. Zero.
So the statement above is true with you - If DJT was still in office, boasting about the big, beautiful vaccine, you would not take it?
Not if POOTWH were the only voice of “reason.” I wouldn’t trust any of the schmucks from that Administration. Zero credibility. But hey, are you living your life yet? It’s halfway through 2021 and you’re reposting grievances from 2020. Looking forward to August?

Well, we can finally say we agree on one thing - If DJT was still in office, neither of us would be taking the vaccine.

So weird they someone would try to argue that the people who are the ones paying attention to the overwhelming evidence for the safety and efficacy of the vaccines would suddenly not be paying attention to it if there was a different president in office who had zero to do with that evidence.

India's pandemic death toll could be in the millions
By SHEIKH SAALIQ and KRUTIKA PATHI
Today
NEW DELHI (AP) — India's excess deaths during the pandemic could be a staggering 10 times the official COVID-19 toll, likely making it modern India’s worst human tragedy, according to the most comprehensive research yet on the ravages of the virus in the South Asian country.
Most experts believe India's official toll of more than 414,000 dead is a vast undercount, but the government has dismissed those concerns as exaggerated and misleading.
The report released Tuesday estimated excess deaths — the gap between those recorded and those that would have been expected — to be 3 million to 4.7 million between January 2020 and June 2021. It said an accurate figure may “prove elusive” but the true death toll “is likely to be an order of magnitude greater than the official count.”
The report was published by Arvind Subramanian, the Indian government’s former chief economic adviser, and two other researchers at the Center for Global Development, a nonprofit think tank based in Washington, and Harvard University.
It said the count could have missed deaths that occurred in overwhelmed hospitals or while health care was disrupted, particularly during the devastating virus surge earlier this year.
“True deaths are likely to be in the several millions not hundreds of thousands, making this arguably India’s worst human tragedy since Partition and independence,” the report said.
The Partition of the British-ruled Indian subcontinent into independent India and Pakistan in 1947 led to the killing of up to 1 million people as gangs of Hindus and Muslims slaughtered each other.
The report on India's virus toll used three calculation methods: data from the civil registration system that records births and deaths across seven states, blood tests showing the prevalence of the virus in India alongside global COVID-19 fatality rates, and an economic survey of nearly 900,000 people done thrice a year.
Researchers cautioned that each method had weaknesses, such as the economic survey omitting the causes of death.
Instead, researchers looked at deaths from all causes and compared that data to mortality in previous years — a method widely considered an accurate metric.
Researchers also cautioned that virus prevalence and COVID-19 deaths in the seven states they studied may not translate to all of India, since the virus could have spread more in urban versus rural states and since health care quality varies greatly around India.
Other nations are also believed to have undercounted deaths in the pandemic. But India is thought to have a greater gap due to having the world's second highest population of 1.4 billion and because not all deaths were recorded even before the pandemic.
The health ministry did not immediately respond to an Associated Press request for comment on the report.
Dr. Jacob John, who studies viruses at the Christian Medical College at Vellore in southern India and was not part of the research, reviewed the report for the AP and said it underscores the devastating impact COVID-19 had on the country’s underprepared health system.
“This analysis reiterates the observations of other fearless investigative journalists that have highlighted the massive undercounting of deaths,” Jacob said.
The report also estimated that nearly 2 million Indians died during the first surge in infections last year and said not “grasping the scale of the tragedy in real time” may have “bred collective complacency that led to the horrors” of the surge earlier this year.
Over the last few months, some Indian states have increased their COVID-19 death toll after finding thousands of previously unreported cases, raising concerns that many more fatalities were not officially recorded.
Several Indian journalists have also published higher numbers from some states using government data. Scientists say this new information is helping them better understand how COVID-19 spread in India.
Murad Banaji, who studies mathematics at Middlesex University and has been looking at India’s COVID-19 mortality figures, said the recent data has confirmed some of the suspicions about undercounting. Banaji said the new data also shows the virus wasn't restricted to urban centers, as contemporary reports had indicated, and that India’s villages were also badly impacted.
“A question we should ask is if some of those deaths were avoidable,” he said.

Nor was the claim ever made that the vaccine prevented people from getting or transmitting COVID19, but this bad faith bullshit is how a certain type of person gets their jollies, so don't expect it to stop anytime soon.

There is absolutely nothing in that article about the vaccination status of the 67 who've tested positive....you're making stuff up to fit your narrative

Sean Hannity Tells FOX Viewers To Take Covid-19 Seriously
Jul 20, 2021,
Welcome to the U.S. 2021, when a TV personality still has to say “please take Covid seriously,” after Covid-19 has already killed over 600,000 people in the U.S.
“Please take Covid seriously” is what Sean Hannity told his FOX News viewers on Monday night. It came when he said the following: “just like we’ve been saying, please take Covid seriously. I can’t say it enough. Enough people have died. We don’t need any more death.”
In the same TV segment, he also said, “take it seriously. You also have a right to medical privacy, and doctor-patient confidentiality is also important. And it absolutely makes sense for many Americans to get vaccinated. I believe in science, I believe in the science of vaccination.”
Of course, “I believe in science” is sort of like saying “I believe in reality” or “I believe in eating” or “I believe in showering at least once a year” or “I believe that I am not a gigantic potato knish.” It should be assumed. However, these days “anti-science” attitudes have become seemingly as prevalent as armpit odor.

Hannity has been one of the few boxes there that has advocated for the vaccine since the start. Problem is that he is bookended by Tucker and Laura Ingram who are profiting on the anti-vax.

More than 80%. That’s the percentage of Olympic and Paralympic athletes that are estimated to be vaccinated against Covid-19, the IOC projected in June. That number may now be higher, as the IOC told Forbes in an email Monday night it has “received assurances” that at least 85% of delegation members from countries’ National Olympics Committees have been vaccinated. Individual sports teams may also have higher vaccination rates: the Washington Postreported in June 90% of athletes on the U.S. Olympic swim team were vaccinated, for instance, while USA Todayreports the U.S. men’s rugby team “collectively agree[d]...that vaccinations were an overall positive.”
The thing is, there is a large percentage of the population that views the majority of the posts here as misinformation.
So, who is right? I don't know. I do not understand why one side can present information and why the other side cannot present information which leads to dialog and an understanding.
"Large percentage" equals one whereas 80% does not equal 100%. One side presents information based in fact and science, the other presents information from known conspiracy theorists and purposefully misrepresents the information linked. Same-same.
Perhaps you could point out the posts with misinformation?

To stay on topic, as I posted the other day, it seems it is becoming more and more likely that we ALL are going to catch the virus regardless of vaccination status.
If the above is true, why are the vaccinated so worried about the unvaccinated?
Also, to steal from a tweet that I posted the other day, why has there not been a town hall style Q & A with Fauci, the surgeon general, the CDC, etc fielding questions from all types of reporters? Not just the softball questions Fauci fields daily, but have "conspiracy theorists" asking questions and have them answered. I think something like that would go a long way in helping the vaccine hesitant.
Of all the money spent on advertising the vaccine, I would think this could easily be done.

They consistently go in front of senate and house committees. Fauci testified just today, along with the head of the CDC and the acting commissioner of the FDA. Are these the softball questions that they are getting 'daily'? And yeah, what a great idea, giving a bunch of know-nothings the credibility to ask questions. Don't worry, Ayn Rand Paul is giving them enough oxygen already.
The vaccine works. It stops death and it slows spread No vaccine equals exponential spread. Look at india. Its not all about usa and uk. World wide you should care equally about.

BIG NUMBER
