Yeah, about this fake infographic...
The CDC breaks down ages by 65-75, 75-84, and 85+, with each older age group showing increased mortality.
In the 65+ age demographic, there have been 4.426M confirmed positive COVID cases and 449,938 COVID deaths.
That's a 10.16% Case Fatality Ratio for...
Those people must have missed the multitude of media reports showing 90-95% efficacy of mRNA vaccines...which while DAMN good is not 100%.
Must be the same people that think facemasks are a panacea to prevent transmission, instead of simply inexpensive droplet/aerosol mitigation.
And arguably...
The protective benefits of infection-conferred immunity, and the contribution of ICI to a reduction in new COVID cases, has been largely ignored by the talking head MPHs on TV and that is disappointing.
That, afterall, is how we got to herd immunity with 1918 H1N1.
Vaccines don't just illicit an immune response after you "get" an illness; the entire point of a vaccine is to prevent you from "getting" an illness in the first place.
As mentioned upthread, a vaccine cannot prevent you from being exposed to an infectious disease and it entering your body...
STOP REPEATING THIS NONSENSE, IT ISN'T TRUE AND HASN'T BEEN SAID BY HEALTH PROFESSIONALS FOR WEEKS
Yes, initially, scientists said they couldn't be sure that vaccination would prevent asymptomatic infection...because they didn't have any specific data about that because that's not what the...
Overnight, Zuckerbook reversed itself and said “We’re sorry we got it wrong, the post is within Community Standards”.
Of course my ban on posting continues the full term...
Selling a Vortex Diamondback Tactical 4-16x44 MRAD FFP riflescope in excellent condition; saw maybe 50 rounds through a 223 and 500 rounds through a B14R 22LR. Zero issues, dialed up and down as much as 12 mils and it tracked true every time, just decided to upgrade to a Bushnell Match Pro...
Perhaps not typical INGO conversation, but many women have experienced early and/or heavy periods following COVID vaccination...even from mRNA vaccines.
6 reported CVST events out of 6,859,871 administered Janssen doses...that's about the same incidence as being struck by lightning.
By...
24 hours post-Pfizer #2:
*Took 1000mg acetaminophen and 10mg melatonin at 11pm last night, slept much better than shot #1
*Swear I heard the Windows XP startup sound when I woke up
*No fever, chills or body aches thus far
*Similar headache to the one that occurred 3 hours post-vaccine - feels...
Conceding that a 22LR is less capable as a defensive round, regardless of ammo, than a larger caliber....
IMO all handguns suck at "physical stops" unless you are proficient with the "Failure To Stop" drill...but hey, carbine carry is frowned upon.
The entire point of non-N95 facial coverings is NOT to prevent the wearer from being infected - its to mitigate droplets and aerosols expelled by the wearer when talking, coughing, and yes even breathing. Mitigate - not eliminate.
There have been some studies showing limited benefits from a...
I disagree with that.
Over the last four months, talking points have REPEATEDLY been "we don't know if vaccinated people can be infected with or spread COVID, which is why you still should social distance and wear masks after being vaccinated." Another popular talking point was "vaccination...
