Dang. Hope your friend's ok. Everything that's being written here is saying that if you get a breakthrough case after having been vaccinated, you're much more likely to have a mild case and are almost guaranteed not to die. So there that.

Have fun, and be careful in Greece. Help fight dem fires!

I'm :popcorn: on this whole "breakthrough" mindset. There should be some clear stats popping up to paint a more concise picture of the vaccine's protective properties in the next few months.

She’s fine thankfully, but there’s almost no indications that she actually has it. And yes there is basically zero chance to get into icu if you’re vaccinated

My cousins in Athens went out to help, but told us that his part of Athens was fine. Still told us not to come to Athens

that info is being suppressed. Also California is doing weird shit now on covid reports. The data is much more difficult to read now and no longer reported daily. I’m kind of giving up.

This political charade has gotten so old.

They won't be able to suppress it much longer, hopefully. If anything, it should help convince people like me who are on the fence on the subject. I suspect it does little to prevent contraction, and probably reduces severe symptoms. What i want to know is % of ER patients who are vaxxed vs unvaxxed for each age category. It's not a lot to ask, and we should all want to know this.

Of course. Last year they had to expose how bad it was, this year they have to cover it up to prove how great they are and can't give antivaxxers ammo.

Politicizing this has gotten really old. Just give the data and let people decide. :rolleyes:

:dat: same thing in VA, in Turkey its on the fucking daily, so Im used to that sort of organization of covid reports. :sad: that I can't see it like that.

Also one of my friends kept asking me how come cases go from 15k to 100k or the like in the US, so thats a little :mindblown: for me as I stood frozen and had to explain how its now weekly, like that :ludacris: no wonder people in DC go clubbing maskless, while NY and SF (based on one of my friends stories) party with masks.

On top of that, I was planning to go to Orlando for a seminar in 20th sept for that new jerb, but had to postpone, after a few phone call arguments cause the hotel meeting space has tried to negotiate it down for me so I can change my mind. No price will change shit for my safety.

Funny how the Dems were pushing to not get the jab while Trump was in office because it would have been sped too quickly and they couldn’t trust it. Now they’re all clamoring for everyone to get the shot. :facepalm:

With all the new break out news, our .gov is deciding to open borders, and loosen many restrictions, including safety protocols at gyms. Let's get our spread on so we can all go into lockdown just as kids go back to school in September! Anyone who thinks that the government has their best interests in mind can kiss my ass.

That's what your Fox News buddies claimed they said, not what they actually said. Unless of course I missed it, when did Pelosi and AOC go anti-vax? I certainly can't find the videos.

Baptist Health is treating nearly 390 patients for COVID-19, including more than 80 in the intensive care unit.
The hospital said over 99% of the people hospitalized have not been vaccinated. -News4Jax
https://www.news4jax.com/news/local/202 ... ing-worse/

99% is an :impressive: stat! One can conclude two things, 1) the unvaxxed aren't actually killing the vaxxed yet :lol: , and 2) that the vaccines really are effectively protecting us.

So much this! Plus I have to be back in the US september as well, also I gained some pandemic weight and just going back to gym suck huge balls.

Not only that, my mom wears a mask, doesn't go to indoor weddings, eat indoors, partake in crowds and such but she is an anti-vaxxer. That is concerning for me because DC is :aintcare: at this point. My dad and I and pretty much anyone else gives so much shit to her, I mean they're :notwrong: I truly wanna get back to the gym badly and I know for sure I'll definitely rock a mask, which I have done at the hotel gym when theres more than 3 people. At that point the best thing I can do is strategize time, which means early in the morning (crack of dawn) when gyms are almost empty. Never after the after work rush hour and the like.

Theoretically the vaccine is like wearing a bulletproof vest, except its nowhere near life threatening to say the very least.

Also fun little fact about pfizer and biontech, 7 months after the second dose, the vaccine will become 65% less effective

I don't remember that, I just remember how hardcore libs were with getting data out to everyone. Now that they're "in control", data is hard to come by. The bullshit double standards from all sides is just :ayfkm:

This is a pretty good analogy, while you can still get shot and it will still hurt, you will ultimately be OK.

Anecdotally, I now personally know at least half a dozen fully vaccinated people who have contracted the 'VID. None of these people have been hospitalized.
