A conservative talk-show host who said 'you're probably safer not getting' the vaccine is now seriously ill with COVID-19, and his family is asking people to 'PLEASE GO GET VACCINATED!'
A conservative radio talk-show host who had told followers that they were "probably safer not getting" the COVID-19 vaccine if they weren't at high risk is now hospitalized in serious condition with the coronavirus, his family said.
Phil Valentine, who hosts "The Phil Valentine Show" on WWTN-FM in Nashville, Tennessee, contracted COVID-19 more than a week ago and "has since been hospitalized & is in very serious condition," his family said in a statement on Thursday.
Valentine, 61, is "suffering from COVID pneumonia and the attendant side effects," the statement said, adding, "He is in the hospital in the critical care unit breathing with assistance but is NOT on a ventilator."
Now that he's become ill with the coronavirus, he has "regrets" about his comments about the vaccines, his family said.

They get no sympathy from me
None of the anti-vaxxers who get sick, or worse, get any sympathy from me.

The authors estimate that the "sweet spot" is 8 weeks between first and second dose (rather than the 3 weeks that Pfizer got authorization for).

Though probably no one will even read this, amongst all the bickering.
wheres meltdown when you need him....really. so the US contracts before they were even established as effective 200 million doses each of Pfizer and moderna and funded the development of the moderna as well as others through op warpspeed.do you know what the manufacturing capacity of all combined was? Fuck J&J had to trash millions ofdoses cuz of conditions at one facility. AND still had to honor the US contract first.So wasnt Canada in line like everyone else until production ramped up significantly? especially since vax isnt manufactured in Canada?_____________________________________SIGNATURE________________________________________________

1. It gets awfully close to private information and certainly there are plenty of dickheads that would try to find out and publish who has COVID and who doesn't, among the WH staff.
2. You can't draw conclusions among a small cohort of individuals which would be a statistically insignificant number of people.
So the question as to why that's important is a good one. If you can't draw medical conclusions, why would the WH release that personal type information? If you want to know about breakthroughs, there is data from the CDC which is more useful.0 -

So, I cannot know how many people within the White House have covid, but they can make sure that I have had the vaccine?

seem to recall those folks had independent coverage or releases stating their status and this is a compilation of that. Its not as if THAT admins staff was going to release that info to a direct question.

The president's health status is obviously of national security. Staffers are different. Did these people self disclose or was it under pressure from the press to the WH that led to the information? I'm pretty sure it's the former. And last, of course some of these people aren't WH staffers.0

But it’s time to start blaming the unvaccinated folks, not the vaccinated folks. It’s the unvaccinated folks that are letting us down.” WTF, Kay? Where do you think these people got there notions about the vaccine in the first place???What the hell is wrong with some of these people?!
They're just dying to do that, aren't they.

If the information presented goes against the message, then it is fact-checked and labeled as misinformation.
I know this board has been really good at spotting misinformation, can some one help me out here. Biden said during his town hall that you will not get Covid if you have been vaccinated (video a page or two back), yet the Washington Post states-
"In other words, the delta variant means the virus will probably continue to spread, even among vaccinated people and even in a strongly vaccinated country such as Israel, because the vaccines don’t protect from transmission or symptomatic cases nearly as well. But that doesn’t mean the vaccines don’t work, especially when it comes to preventing the worst of the disease.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/10/03/us/rose-garden-event-covid.htmlThat’s accurate. For example an employer should not ask for your covid test result, as it is protected Heath information, but your vaccination status is not. An American employer can ask you for proof that you are vaccinated.Your picture of the Coney Barrett super spreader event was notable because it showed people in authority ignoring safety requirements and local regulations and many were infected as a result. That is not what happened with the breakthrough cases in the Biden admin. I think trump supporters know this but are making a dishonest comparison
If we were all honest with each other we would have a chance to get out of this mess, instead of misrepresenting the truth about the virus and vaccines.0 -

well good to hear that some places are lifting restrictions.
st louis city and county are back to indoor mask mandates starting monday 7/26. this is directly due to the high numbers of unvaccinated people here.
also one of the largest hospital systems here are now issuing vaccine mandates that have to be verified by independent credentializing organizations by aug 13. . basically you have to get vaccinated and submit your card, have the card verified by independent organization, or you are banned from entry and doing business at that hospital system. i figured that was coming so my 2 teammates and i got our vaccines verified a few months ago.
my purpose in my career now is to go in there and steal business from the unvaccinated reps at other companies. This has gone on long enough, and we are going in to get that fucking business."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."0 -
forgot to state in my post that ususally whatever this hospital system does, the rest follow their lead. so those jabronis that did not get vaccinated are going to be in trouble. if you cannot get into a facility to do business, you lose. and it will be their own fault."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
