It's one of many ways information gets out. It's not the 1950s any more where we have 3 networks and a few newspapers to tell us everything. Now anybody with a smartphone is a potential news reporter, and there are thousands of people who do such things independently in various ways.

justforbeer 41 Posted November 8, 2021 Well, there is no LOVE in Green Bay. Pretty clear how much they need Rodgers and why he was the MVP last year. If he played tonight, they would have easily beat KC. The offense was like a high school team. Love is a terrible QB and made poor throws. Maybe he can be better, but he is far far away from being anything like Rodgers. Aaron is probably laughing tonight, and still dropping f bombs at the NFL and haters. Wonder how fast all will be forgiven when Rodgers comes back and they kick azz again. Their will always be haters and if you just appreciate the game and take out all of the other BS, then you will enjoy watching football without prejudice. It is a game. Not politics. Let's just keep it about football and keep all this other garbage out! Love him or hate him, no question the man can play ball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 3,006 Posted November 8, 2021 The NFL brings a lot of the politics and BS into the game themselves, they like the attention. It sales, and the nfl is about one thing and one thing only, Money It starts at the top of the ladder in the NFL , they need to stop making money off of their own garbage. Then the game might even be watchable again. Shame on you Rodgers for not being a stand up guy , and lied about the vax , and you cost your team a winnable game, go host jeopardy. Thanks.

Ray_T 718 Posted November 18, 2021 well, a virus mutates. when it does, the original vaccine loses some of its effectiveness because the new strain is more resistant to the vaccine. this is well known. the vaccine was created to protect against the original strain. while it still protects you against the new strains, the level of effectiveness is not as high as it is for the original it was designed for. these are all facts you can look up if you care to. clearly you do not. but the risk factors remain the risk factors. most vaccinated dont end up in hospital. the vast majority of the ones in our hospital are unvaccinated. our local area has a high vaccination rate, so when the vaccinated people are 5-7 times larger than the unvaccinated ones, and the majority of the hospitalizations are unvaccinated, that should tell you something. you can stick your head in the sand and deny it, but its true. but go ahead and dont get the shot if you want.

What I provided in that link is one of many scientific research articles describing the reverse effect of leaky vaccinations, such as what is being forced into arms across the world. We’re getting MORE virulent strains, directly as a result of forced vaccination policy. Why do you think the world’s most vaccinated populations (check the data in the US AND places like Ireland, Iceland, Gibraltar, Sheychelles, Israel, etc) are also the locations of the HIGHEST levels of outbreak? You don’t have to attempt to disparage me or my positions here, I’ve researched this topic exhaustively, and will more than hold my own against those who attempt to claim otherwise. When you claim “clearly you do not”, your ad hom falls flat, because NOTHING I’ve posted denies your very basic statement; quite the contrary: it ACKNOWLEDGES it. But that base fact is not the point. You were literally arguing a point I wasn’t making. You blithely include an accurate comment wrt to what the vaccine is attempting to do, but don’t appear to have the desire to question why or how vaccines would have been administered via force if the public knew that leaky vaccinations would FORCE mutation, and not just in the typical way, but to prompt variants like A.30, which are RESISTANT. Epidemiologists like Vanden Bossche laid this out more than a year ago. Why are you defending those who ignored that obvious science? The mRNA gene therapy shots to date serve only to shunt (supposedly) the action of a particular spike protein endemic to COVID Alpha, but not only does NOTHING to protect against variants, it appears to make those with the #hokeypokey both MORE susceptible to Delta, but causes them to carry it as virus and spike SHEDDERS, while also limiting your own body’s immune response to ALL future variants. This is because the poke hampers CD8 (T-cell) numbers, and response. Note that social media is limiting the content of this video, when there is zero ethical defensible reason to do so: It is estimated now that half of the country is carrying antibodies against COVID that they acquired through fighting it off on their own. Their own immunity has been demonstrated as effective against 23 known variants. Not so for the vaxxed. You’ve been gamed. All you have to do now is possess the humility to continue to learn.

Yes I do recall the statements about going back to normal if you’ve been vaccinated, but that was still based on it only being 95% effective. Israel got a fast start, but they’re not really one of the most vaccinated counties anymore - even with 2 doses they’re at about 62% according to ourworldindata. And their most recent death wave was still lower than their prior 2. Here’s a good article explaining that Israel’s data is proof the vaccines work - https://www.covid-datascience.com/post/israeli-data-how-can-efficacy-vs-severe-disease-be-strong-when-60-of-hospitalized-are-vaccinated Your last paragraph is lying with statistics. 50k people under 50 dying is a lot! Most people under 50 shouldn’t really be dying from anything. And you fail to mention that most of those flu deaths are in the elderly too, because the elderly are the most likely to die of anything. As far as Rodgers goes, I agree it’s his choice and he really doesn’t “need” it because he’s relatively young and healthy. Outside of him lying about it, it does also impact his team because the unvaccinated are subject to more restrictions. For example if he tested positive like a day or 2 later I think he would have had to miss another game. 8 hours ago, IMMensaMind said: Find you unpleasant - as I find most people who would rather insult than converse.

LOL asking if they are vaccinated is not “highly invasive.” HIPAA does not apply to sports media. Regardless, he doesn’t have to answer. But he shouldn’t lie about it. There’s zero evidence what he did “worked.” Just like how people say “I bet I would have been more sick if I wasn’t vaccinated.” He may have been fine if he did nothing, we don’t know. As mentioned above, the claims of “get vaccinated and go back to normal” were always based on knowing that the vaccines were not more than 95% effective at preventing symptomatic infection. But those recommendations also weren’t made until cases/deaths got pretty low. So yes, they knew Covid “could” still spread, but with low prevalence and an effective vaccine, it didn’t look likely (unfortunately Delta; which started before vaccines, changed that). It was also over a year since the start of the pandemic and they didn’t want to have restrictions forever (hopefully you’re not suggesting we should have…) 8 hours ago, IMMensaMind said: Viruses do mutate, correct.

You blithely include an accurate comment wrt to what the vaccine is attempting to do, but don’t appear to have the desire to question why or how vaccines would have been administered via force if the public knew that leaky vaccinations would FORCE mutation, and not just in the typical way, but to prompt variants like A.30, which are RESISTANT. Epidemiologists like Vanden Bossche laid this out more than a year ago. Why are you defending those who ignored that obvious science? The mRNA gene therapy shots to date serve only to shunt (supposedly) the action of a particular spike protein endemic to COVID Alpha, but not only does NOTHING to protect against variants, it appears to make those with the #hokeypokey both MORE susceptible to Delta, but causes them to carry it as virus and spike SHEDDERS, while also limiting your own body’s immune response to ALL future variants. This is because the poke hampers CD8 (T-cell) numbers, and response. Note that social media is limiting the content of this video, when there is zero ethical defensible reason to do so: It is estimated now that half of the country is carrying antibodies against COVID that they acquired through fighting it off on their own. Their own immunity has been demonstrated as effective against 23 known variants. Not so for the vaxxed. You’ve been gamed. All you have to do now is possess the humility to continue to learn. Did I mention Delta, which still accounts for the overwhelming majority of cases worldwide, started in 2020 before vaccines were available to the public? And has caused waves even in countries with little vaccination? Regardless, the vaccines ARE still effective at preventing Delta infection, hospitalization and death. Saying they “do nothing” or make people more susceptible is a flat out lie. Most of those counties are NOT having the highest level of outbreak, especially in deaths but based on your PSU link maybe you do actually concede that, although not sure based on what you spouted above. I’d have to double check but also pretty sure most are not the highest in cases per million either, and that’s even with the fact that the places with the highest vaccination rates also tend to test more. Not to mention some of the countries you listed are super tiny, Gibraltar’s vaccination rate is overstated because they vaccinated a lot of people that don’t live there, and I believe Seychelles used primarily the Chinese vaccine. And in many of the places with “surging cases” including Vermont, many of the cases are in those under 30 and thus less likely to be vaccinated, as most of the state data that we have does confirm that even case rates are still higher among the unvaccinated. And I do acknowledge natural immunity works. But that’s also artificially lowering vaccine efficacy estimates since the previously infected are probably more likely to be unvaccinated.

Really not getting it and you are choosing not to listen... By the way, you know how these jab companies came up with their efficacy? You should look it up. It is an absolute joke. In one of them the difference was 1 death out of the 20k people(I don't have all the exact figs here) But it was a play on numbers. The true efficacy was miniscule. You still say it prevents from getting it but that is not true. Once you accept the truth, then most of the arguments you make are worthless. LOOK IT UP! I am going to use some logic and hope you follow me. The whole nonsense of mandates for a jab to go dining. Just for your argument, lets say there is a 100 jabbed people in a restaurant and the jab reduces the spread by 50%. Is that not the same at 50 people that do not have the jab in a restaurant? Again, don't bother arguing the math, I could make it 250 jabbed in a restaurant and 25 unjabbed in a restaurant. The point is, it makes no sense. How about that Hockey team? Just as they do not even consider natural immunity. Why? They say about 700 kids under 18 have died of this in the last 2 years. That is 350 a year. Flue season.....usually 500 plus a year. You should start asking questions instead of just believing Pfizer and J&J.....by the way both those companies have been sued for misrepresentation. Pfizer 2billion suit. J&J, knowingly sold baby powder that causes cancer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dawgoneit2 6 Posted November 20, 2021 All you have to do is Google Covid vaccinated vs unvaccinated… For example, here’s Michigan numbers from NPR: https://www.michiganradio.org/health/2021-11-17/the-unvaccinated-are-driving-michigans-current-covid-surge-these-five-charts-show-how Spectrum Health currently has 359 hospitalized COVID- 19 patients. Of these, 310 (86%) are unvaccinated and 49 are vacinated. November 17, 2021 Spectrum Health currently has 359 hospitalized COVID- 19 patients. Of these, 310 (86%) are unvaccinated and 49 are vaccinated. Of those 359 patients, 81 are currently in the ICU. Of these, 73 (90%) are unvaccinated 8 are vaccinated. Of those 81 ICU patients, 59 are on ventilators. Of these, 57 (97%) are unvaccinated and 2 are vaccinated =================================== These numbers are not made up. This is not fake news. Vaccinations save lives. How can anyone argue that they don’t? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Around 751,178 of those deaths were with confirmed or presumed COVID-19. There were also 9,574 fatalities involving influenza, which had pneumonia or COVID-19 also listed as a cause of death.” Covid and the flu do not have the same death rate… not even clise.

huskyhater75 242 Posted November 20, 2021 BOTTOM LINE is that chump/dump/trump...........WHATEVER his name is, that's the reason the (ch/du/trump) LOSERS are gonna have to accept-but they're the whimps that never had the guts to ask out the girls and instead j@cked off to pics of those girls-ch/du/trump-did the same! Mrs Doubt-fire didn't EVEN get laid until he was most likely 35-40 years old, when he could finally pay for it, most likely with SOMEONE (he's a blowhard that's broke) else's money.

This isn’t a question to see which is better vax or not vax but just to see how many of those people might be having other health problems prior to testing positive for the mandemic?
