Thank you for the well wishes. Her religious exemption was granted without any utterances of protestation.

That's great to hear!

This is evil stuff. Denying a transplant bc the donor won't get vaccinated. Good lord.

Organ transplant patients are at risk from covid, but some donors and recipients are fighting vaccination requirements

It's all Trump's fault! Orange man bad!

Moderna supposedly modified their booster for Delta. Pfizer didn't modify their booster at all. Of course, none of these are really vaccines.

I don't believe that any of the "big 3" therapeutics have been modified with the Delta spike protein sequence.

I was thinking the same thing. I have never heard of the guy until Mad4Vax posts

That represents about 95% of the people that @mad4vols usually posts about. Some unknown preacher somewhere off the map with about 500 followers... at best.

That's just what I'm talking about. By the time the vaccine came out, it was already close to outdated.

At best, they are skating where the puck is now and not where it is going. I say at best because I assumed that the original series of vaccines were based on the spike proteins of the most common variant in 2020. By the time they made it to market, there were other variants out there that made them essentially useless.

I'm giving them the benefit of doubt to even suggest this because I'm not sure if they are even modifying anything for this variant or any of the previous ones.

Truth, can’t have it both ways.

 

[LouderVol]

Yeah the people who tested positive for it had no symptoms. Maybe it’s finally evolving into weaker and weaker strains like all pandemics eventually do and delta was just an outlier.

4 people is an incredibly small sample size. Especially if you consider the variants so far are still around 90% asymptomatic/no worse than a cold.

False flag argument fail.

The quoted tweet doesnt say what the referencing tweet says it says and it shows up in the tweet.

The GOP tweet doesnt blame Biden for Covid.

Yes, you can have both. Nobody (meaning man or woman of power) or nothing (meaning mandates and lockdowns) are going to stop a respiratory virus.

Both are true.

But... we..... must..... get.... "vaccinated"...

The truth is that Joe B was full of hot crap when he claimed he would shut down the virus.

Does anyone have a generic "religious exemption request" form letter? I have a friend needing one for her hospital job.

The great body of evidence (comparative research studies and high-quality pieces of evidence and reporting judged to be relevant to this analysis) shows that COVID-19 lockdowns, shelter-in-place policies, masks, school closures, and mask mandates have failed in their purpose of curbing transmission or reducing deaths. These restrictive policies were ineffective and devastating failures, causing immense harm especially to the poorer and vulnerable within societies.

Here's what I found interesting:

What’s wrong with continual boosting? For one thing, a variant may emerge that requires a new vaccine formulation. (Boosting with a Moderna beta variant vaccine yielded higher neutralizing titers against the beta variant than did boosting with Moderna’s original mRNA-1273 vaccine.) We don’t know yet if omicron will require a new formulation, although public health officials are worried it might. In that case, “training” the immune system repeatedly on the original variant — as the current boosters do — may prove to be counterproductive. It could, for instance, diminish the effectiveness of a reformulated booster. In other words, for those not in immediate need of a boost, there may be an advantage to waiting until a booster more closely aligned with circulating variants becomes available.

Boosting with the same vax makes little sense. If you must, boost with a new formulation like we do with the flu

Agree.

They also address the piss poor messaging surrounding the vaccine…
“Second, and relatedly, exaggerated descriptions of the waning efficacy of the vaccines undermine public confidence in them, and some people may be less likely to accept vaccines that they regard as less effective than originally advertised.”

I firmly believe that the six month flip-flop of “I don’t trust the vaccine because of Trump” to the “you must take the vaccine” from the left cemented any hesitancy from those who don’t trust the government. Had there been some for of unity for the good of the public health in regards to the vaccines in 2020, I think we’d see more people vaccinated at this point.
