Vaccine/Antibody updates

Cute story.  If Covid was killing 1 out of 7 Americans no matter the age pretty sure there would be more support for a vaccine mandate.

There wouldn't be

Hard to say for sure I guess.  I imagine one day there will be a new virus with that kind of IFR and we'll find out.

No, it isn't hard to say at all.  History always repeats itself

In one thread today, you were critical of a teachers union for not mandating vaccines.
In another thread (this one), you scoff at vaccine mandates (apparently because COVID isn't killing enough* people).
But you're totally not a troll.

*Which begs the question, what's the acceptable number of easily preventable deaths in Pace's world?

You're misstating what I said in the other thread.  I asked you based off your post if you were upset with the lack of a vaccine mandate in place at that school for the teachers or that the masks on the kids didn't work. 

I've clearly stated my thoughts on vaccine mandates.  A private business has every right to do it but I don't believe it should be mandated by state or federal gov't.

And i was just simply pointing out if Covid had a higher IFR I'd imagine the vaccine would be more widely accepted.  But when 99.95% of people under 50 survive it just doesn't seem to be too urgent for a lot of people.  I believe it's selfish of them but I can at least understand where they're coming from.

Yikes

@TizzyEnt: Told you...
I've uncovered evidence of a scam allowing the unvaccinated to appear vaccinated, but how many? https://twitter.com/TizzyEnt/status/1430658074377924618/video/1

I wonder what these counties have in common? 

The five Florida counties with the lowest percentage of fully vaccinated residents are:

    Holmes County (23%)
    Washington County (25%)
    Calhoun County (26%)
    Union County (26%)
    Dixie County (26%)

People always trying to make a buck. No different than China selling millions of fake N95 masks, which could have caused thousands more infections and deaths on a much greater scale than a few suckers who bought fake vaccination cards.

A stupid American who is going to spend time in prison for breaking the law is similar to a nation selling junk items...

okay!

Hey tower ... you need to come down here to Charlotte and talk some sense into your fellow firefighters!

https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/coronavirus/article253927283.html?

Some 62% of nearly 8,000 Charlotte government employees are at least partially vaccinated, the city announced Wednesday.

That's based on a workforce survey that had a 95% response rate, city spokesman Cory Burkarth said.

Vaccination rates vary dramatically across city departments, with the Charlotte Fire Department — with 1,224 employees — posting the lowest rate: 49%. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, with 2,407 employees, had a 63% vaccination rate, according to city data.

Charlotte is experiencing another coronavirus surge caused by the highly contagious delta variant. But local doctors say this is a surge of the unvaccinated, with unprotected people accounting for the overwhelming number of coronavirus patients requiring intensive care and ventilators.

In Mecklenburg County, 57% of residents are at least partially vaccinated as of Wednesday, according to the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services.

My department's vaccination rate is around 65%.     

[4everwarriors]

Fahrenheit, taught ewe sed it wuz mandatory inn yo department, hey?

[tower912]

If you catch it now and are unvaccinated, you no longer qualify for workman's comp and the days you miss come out of your sick leave.   If you don't have enough, you go off payroll.

Not yet mandatory.

From the Washington Post:

A memo sent Wednesday to NBA teams warned that unvaccinated players for the New York Knicks, Brooklyn Nets and Golden State Warriors would not be able to play in home games this season at their respective arenas.

The NBA does not have a vaccine mandate for its players, but in a memo obtained by The Washington Post, the league pointed to requirements recently enacted in New York City and San Francisco that affect a broad spectrum of public activity. Those ordinances reportedly do not apply to out-of-town athletes, meaning that unvaccinated members of visiting teams could play at Barclays Center, Chase Center and Madison Square Garden.

United Center said today that everyone entering the building must either be vaccinated or get tested every time they enter. I hope they take it further to require everyone entering to be vaccinated.

Also, unvaccinated NBA players will have lockers as far away as possible from their vaccinated teammates and will have to eat, fly and ride buses in different sections as part of the league's anticipated COVID-19 health and safety protocols. The protocols were released to teams Thursday in a memo obtained by ESPN.

The rules are not final and subject to ongoing talks with the National Basketball Players Association, but the guidelines make it clear that vaccinated and unvaccinated players will have very different off-court experiences during the upcoming season.

Unvaccinated players will have to undergo testing on game days and practice days and, depending on team schedules, could have to test twice on some game days. Vaccinated players will not undergo daily testing and will only be tested if they have symptoms themselves or are exposed to someone confirmed as COVID-19 positive.

Hmm maybe Brooklyn will return to New Jersey for the year so Kyrie's dumba$$ can play.

Nice! When was your first round complete?

At the risk of kicking a hornets nest.  Wondering why there is so much negativity towards ivermectin.  Admittedly I have no opinion on it and hadn't heard about it til seeing it on Scoop but there seems to be enough positive data to at least study further??

The guy who developed the use ignition humans won the Nobel Prize for crying out loud and the use of it has been credited with saving millions of lives.  Who knows what the real world benefits are as it relates to C19 but to cast it off as simply horse dewormer seems like a waste of an opportunity.
