Understood. But why doesn't he point out the study is semi-irrelevant based on the timing of the data considering it does not take into account a huge amount of vaccinations and the delta variant. That is the point.
I will SHOT. THE. F*CK. UP. 
tomorrow. Pfizer #1. Then Pfizer #2 on September 14th. I had a good conversation with my PCP today (my only doctor). Knowing my medical history and based on his view of COVID (specifically DELTA) and the vaccines, he said I should definitely get pricked.
My doctor recommended Pfizer or Moderna, but not J&J. He said go for the Rolls-Royce (either two-shot vaccine) instead of the Volkswagen (J&J). He further recommended Pfizer over Moderna since the side effects are generally observed to be less severe with the former. It just so happens that the CVS closest to me is offering the Pfizer vaccine.
I’m so screwed. I hate me.

Watch out for those serious side effects like a sore injection site and mild fever. I can't tell you the number of times the media warned of those early on. Good luck!

Thanks. As I said, I’m so screwed. On the plus side, I can go back to licking doorknobs.
Yes, but no caffeine for 48 hours in case of myocarditis.
I totally made that up. I think.
MESSAGING.
On a more serious note, my wife and I are planning on going to the Ball State game on September 11th. That’s three days before my second shot. At least I will have some vaccine protection when the spit, piss, and vomit are flying at me in the lots and in the stadium.
don't disagree with that, just say it in your tweet that we are working with 5 month old data because the whomever is not giving us access to the most recent data. That is as damning of a statement as implying what people are looking at is relevant when it is 5 months old and does NOT include a huge percent of vaccinations nor the delta virus.

I should clarify that my medical history is good. No underlying condition or comorbidities. So from my PCP’s point of view, there is no medical reason for me not to get the vaccine. He wants me to get vaccinated simply because COVID (DELTA) is bad news and I should be protected. To my knowledge, I’ve never had COVID, so no antibodies.
Fox did to CYA after their night time "entertainers" misled their audiences for months. I have seen 2 people I know loosely lose someone under the age of 40 in the last 2 weeks with no jab. The left has it's own trust issues in some circles that isn't exactly helping the cause. Either way the fear porn each side pushes out works on those too lazy to look around even a little bit. Maybe today helps in some way, but the fear porn will continue.
Blank people, Hispanic people and kids under age 29 do whatever Fox and OAN tell them. HUGE demographic for those outlets.
let’s not forget the anti vax Hollywood elite!
SMH
Can you list all of these Hollywood elite that are on this Anti-vax push. I'll start...Jenny McCarthy....where most sane people go for medical advice obviously. If Jenny says no way, it's a huge impact on this nation. She maybe a step below Tucker I guess there?
The other thing is your "Hollywood elite" is like announcing your Hannity's parrot. Those "evil Hollywood elites" pushing this big Covid Anti-Vax campaign. I may have just missed it, but I'll keep an eye out now. It's worked so well that Trump got booed at his rally for telling people to get it...Hollywood elites control the Trump rally. I don't tune into E news or Foxnews at night, so I'm sure you are up on this big anti Covid push by these elites. I know that is where I go for medical and spiritual advice....actors and actresses.

You could just keep testing until you have the antibodies. The odds are in your favor.
No point. Like when I was in school, I could take a test over and over again and never pass.
You can buy it OTC at various farm stores like Tractor Supply.
Not saying you should but that is where some people get it.
Not helpful. With the continuing reality of comorbidity and hospitalization/mortality having the greatest impact on COVID impact we need to message that. My father in law who is an ER doc said in June of 2020 that we don’t have a COVID problem we have an obesity problem. Nothing from the government or media that if you are obese you need the vaccine. It is a joke. Healthy individuals both vaccinated and unvaccinated are fine. Yes there will be the .001 that is impacted that is healthy but that is the risk we need to take. Tired of the broad brush. We are a country of fat f**** and the longer we pretend this is the same for everyone we do a greater disservice to the country. The fact that we have known this and haven’t started a community health program to educate individuals to this reality is criminal.
Community health program? That sounds like socialism to me. Its a slippery slope. Soon we be back to the days of the First Lady recommending healthy school lunches. Can’t have that.
True but sadly it is necessary after fifty years of horrific government programs. A dumbing down of our educational system, big Ag running much of the country, a large segment of the population dependent on government have led to a health crisis caused by terrible nutritional habits. The first country in history to have people dying from being over fed on junk food, starch, and sugar.
Shame that this didn’t become a major part of the discussion during the Great Healthcare Debates on Obama’s first term. Improved nutrition, all with exercise, would cut our healthcare costs by at least 25%.
When I lived in Charleston, SC my wife and I went to Tennessee for some forgotten reason. We stopped by an outdoor mall and we just sat in our car shocked by the sheer number of huge SUVs, which were probably the only cars these people could fit into.
What isn’t helpful is people blaming covid on trump. They tried to take credit for the drop in March then blame trump 6 months later. It’s ridiculous.
but I do agree, obesity is a major contributing factor and the govt is either unwilling or unable to give us facts
Fascinating. Both blacks and Asians had less people vaccinated in Aug than in July. How is that
possible?
Just shows had bad polling data is and should not be relied on.
While eating fatty meats morning Noon and night? Correct - we can do without the hypocrisy
Hey, we’re all going to be eating a steady diet of government cheese, and LIVIN’ IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!
0.61M shots yesterday so total up to 362.66M with the 7 day rolling average at 0.853M. 84.9% of shots administered is the national average, 60.8% of population with 1+ dose (78.2% of the adult population), 51.5% of population fully vaccinated.
So far, 202 million Americans have received at least one dose of a vaccine. At least 171 million people have completed a vaccination regimen.
111,134 positives reported yesterday compared to 109,848 week over week. 7-day rolling average is at 147,693.
Fatality was 406 reported yesterday compared to 485 week over week, 7-day rolling fatality at 846.
Hospitalizations reported 7 day rolling average is 77,727 compared to yesterday 7-day average at 79,310 compared to one week ago 71,466 up 8.8%.
Hospital admissions reported 7 day rolling average is 11,337 compared yesterday 7-day average of 11,615 compared to one week ago 11,162 up 1.6%.
Florida has hit a plateau and basically is at 21k cases for the past week, that is good news. California has not hit the plateau yet, but the rate of rise has slowed tremendously. Texas is still too early to tell. Georgia is like Florida was with a huge spike occurring with a daily peak of 8k only 1k+ lower then the peak they hit in late January. By the way, the 21k at Florida compares to the 16k peak hit in January. Tennessee another state going crazy with 6.1k cases per day compared to end of June when they had less than 200 cases per day. Louisiana spiked on August 14th and is actually on the downward trend now.
So looking at some of the Southern states and the hospital numbers, I think hopefully we are starting to see Delta hits it's peak around the country and some states actually starting to level off. Hospital data is very indicating with the rolling average barely going up and actually the day over day going down.
you know the crazy part. The progressives are pretty cutthroat ruthless in that regard. They are basically forbidding that type of data and discussion to occur as they say it would be discriminating against obese people. But at the same time, by not having that discussion, obese people (the people whose feeling they are trying to protect) are put hugely at risk of hospitalization and dying but are not being told that is the case. So protect their feeling at the expense of some of their lives. Just really backward thinking.
Figure they will roll out LAMBDA.
in another two weeks. Still plenty of letters left.
I'm studying AWS and they mentioned Lambda is in the cloud... ok I'll leave 😥Figure they will roll out LAMBDA.
Did you see the “healthy” school lunches? They weren’t exactly healthy.
The govt is going to have to start tracking the third shot. Stats coming in from Israel are really bad in terms of how quickly the vax is losing effectiveness and infection rates for those vaxxed. I mean, like less than 65% effective for those jabbed early on. But preliminary data, today, is showing the booster is taking that back up to 90%+, even against Delta.
All the healthy food was tossed in the garbage can and not eaten. But that's ok because then everyone could say it worked.
We need to differentiate breakthrough cases from severity of illness. Admittedly the latter can be difficult to assess from the available information. Still, as I understand it, DELTA is worse for the unvaccinated than the vaccinated.
