    Speaking of "colored folk" as you call them, has anyone seen any vaccination numbers for them?  Asking for a friend.

    I am told it is nothing but country bumpkin, truck nut having, American flag waving, MAGA hat wearing peoples that refuse the shot.
    Ever hear of Tuskegee? What's your excuse? To the bold, who told you that? More FauciOuchi? On the heels of claiming someone wished death upon you. You, kind sir, are on a roll.

    Minorities are known for not getting vaccinated.

    If that is what he means?  I'm not sure.

    TY both.

    My understanding of it was a vaccine was 100% effective, full immunity.  It is not.  Got it.

    Is a disease the same as a virus?  If a vaccine works for a disease like mentioned above is it the same for a virus?

    The other part is the underground conspiracy freaks brought it up and it didn't make sense to how they described it.  You need to pay attention to the crazies and see what they are cooking.

    I want to fully understand the wording.  

    Thanks
    “Disease” is a general term for some sort of abnormal functioning of the body. Diseases can be infectious or non-infectious, and each category has many different causes. 

    For infectious diseases the causative agent can be bacterial, viral, parasitic, or fungal (and again, lots of different types of each).

    Vaccines are developed for infectious diseases generally, though there are some vaccines for other diseases involving the immune system, like some cancers and autoimmune conditions. 

    Out of the current vaccines for infectious agents, most are for viral or bacterial pathogens. Meningitis and diphtheria, for instance, are bacterial whereas Hepatitis A and B are viral. 

    There are also several different proven ways to make vaccines.

    In all cases, a vaccine is designed to prompt the immune system to mount an immune response, which includes making antibodies but also other reactions, so that when the infectious agent is detected it can be dealt with more  quickly and effectively. No vaccine ever is 100% effective, for lots of reasons, including the fact that much depends on how well the body’s immune system reacts. 

    The COVID vaccines available in the US and Canada are considered very effective, in the grand scheme of vaccines.

    BREAKING NEWS

    Israel's COVID cabinet contemplating lockdown in 2 weeks - report


    The possibility of imposing a lockdown in two weeks' time was discussed in Israel's corona cabinet, Channel 13 reported on Wednesday evening.
    Construction and Housing Minister Ze'ev Elkin is reportedly in favor of the move, as infection models have predicted a lockdown will be necessary in any case by September.
    It is also reported that officials in the Health Ministry are supportive of a lockdown, in order to motivate Israelis who have not yet received a third vaccine dose to get the jab.

    Oh my! There go my freedumbs! Did I wake up in Chiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiina?

    Dear Members of the Campus Community:

    Here are this week’s five things you need to know about Fordham’s COVID-19 precautions, vaccinations, and University operations (You can read the State of New York’s most recent COVID-19 guidelines on its Novel Coronavirus page):
      
    • In the last 14 days, 5 members of the University community tested positive for COVID-19, a positivity rate of 4.85% of 103 tests administered, as listed on the University dashboard.
    • As of September 1, no unvaccinated student or employee will be allowed on campus unless they have received an official accommodation from the University. Employees who have not provided proof of vaccination nor requested an accommodation will be placed on an unpaid leave of absence without benefits for the fall semester as of September 1. fordham.edu/hr
    • The University will continue its policy of admitting only faculty, students, and staff at indoor gatherings, events, performances and meetings through the fall semester. Alumni, parents, and their guests may attend outdoor events with proof of vaccination. Guest speakers and performers will be allowed on campus in very limited numbers for specific events, if they provide proof of full COVID-19 vaccination.
    • Individuals should be tested for COVID-19 within 3 to 5 days following international travel or following exposure to anyone infected with COVID-19, even if you are asymptomatic. Exposed individuals should also wear a mask in public indoor spaces for 14 days, or until testing negative for the virus. Anyone having COVID-19 symptoms should stay home, avoid contact with other people, and get tested.
    • As of Monday, August 2, the University requires all unvaccinated individuals to wear masks indoors, and in any public space on campus. The University recommends fully vaccinated individuals wear masks indoors while on campus.

    For more information, please see the COVID-19 Guidelines on the web. Every issue of Five Things is archived here on our news site.

    Why is no one allowed to ask questions or be skeptical about any of this? Now we're supposed to trust the government and the vaccine coming from big pharma? Did anyone see that the J&J just settled a billions of dollar settlement for the part they played in the opioid crisis? And then we're supposed to allow them to inject us with their vaccine and not ask questions?

    I've lost multiple people to the opioid crisis and I sure wish they would've started asking questions about why these pills were literally being forced down their throats.

    Both big pharma and the government have given us plenty of examples on why we should ask questions instead of just going along with what they say.

    By Adela Suliman
    August 04 at 10:18 AM ET
    More unvaccinated adults in the United States view the coronavirus vaccine as a greater risk to their health than the disease caused by the virus itself, a poll found.
    The Kaiser Family Foundation released a survey Wednesday that found there was a big split between unvaccinated and vaccinated adults in what they perceived as the bigger threat during the pandemic.
    Just over half of unvaccinated adults (53 percent) said they believed getting vaccinated posed a bigger risk to their health than getting infected with the coronavirus. “In contrast, an overwhelming majority (88 percent) of vaccinated adults said that getting infected with COVID-19 is a bigger risk to their health than the vaccine,” the report found.
    Unvaccinated adults were also much less worried about the more transmissible delta variant and had less confidence in the safety and effectiveness of the vaccines compared with those who got the shots, according to the KFF survey.
    The majority of unvaccinated adults (57 percent) also said they thought the news media had “generally exaggerated” the seriousness of the pandemic, compared with 17 percent of vaccinated adults.
    The poll comes as Biden administration officials increasingly frame the current outbreak as a “pandemic of the unvaccinated” with President Biden taking a tougher line, urging the unvaccinated to get inoculated.
    “If you’re unvaccinated, you are much more likely to, one, get covid-19; two, get hospitalized; and, three, die if you get it,” Biden said on Tuesday. “This is a tragedy.”
    Earlier this week, the country met the president’s goal of at least 70 percent of adult Americans receiving at least one dose of a vaccine — about a month late.
    [Have you gotten an extra coronavirus shot? Tell us your story.]
    New daily cases in the United States rose 52 percent over the past week, according to The Washington Post coronavirus tracker. Still, hospitalizations and deaths have lagged behind, which Biden noted was because the vaccines are effective in reducing the likelihood of severe illness or death.
    On the flip side, the KFF poll found 62 percent of vaccinated adults said news of the coronavirus variants had made them even more likely to wear a mask in public or avoid large gatherings, while fewer unvaccinated adults said the same (37 percent).
    However, the poll also found vaccine views were hardening — with just over 1 in 5 unvaccinated adults saying news of variants had made them more likely to get vaccinated. Additionally, the share of adults who had either received a vaccine or said they would do so soon remained relatively unchanged since June.
    The poll was completed between July 15 and 27, which means it may not capture any recent uptick in vaccinations since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) outlined the heightened threat of the delta variant in the United States.

    continues....

    questions are welcome. ignoring the answers that are clear and have been given ad nauseum....not so much.

    1. This thread is about viruses and vaccines. 
    2. We have an Ignore feature.
    3. Do NOT argue and bicker at each other in these forums; it could cause a loss of posting privileges, some permanent. We can’t keep saying that without consequence to visitors who won’t listen to that guidance. See the Posting Guidelines. 

    The thread will be reopened after some posts are removed.

    19,000+ cases in Texas today. 497 unoccupied ICU beds. Hospitalizations have gone up so fast. July 4th there were 1647 Covid patients in the hospitals. 1 month later it’s 7685. Really can’t look at that data and think nothing of it.

    Sure you can.

    You can't not think anything of it and be a smart person, but there are lots who will think nothing of it.
