b_m_b_m_b_m Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 It's incredibly hard to feel sorry for the people clearly falling for this propaganda when them falling for this particular propaganda helps advance (by virtue of disproportionately lessening ballot box support of the opposition) political causes that I support which would directly help millions more instead.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Things got pretty heated between Fauci and Rand Paul during a Senate hearing: 'If anybody is lying here senator, it is you,' Fauci tells Sen. Paul in heated exchange at Senate hearing WWW.CNBC.COM Quote He said the study Paul was referring to does not constitute gain-of-function research. “Senator Paul, you do not know what you are talking about, quite frankly, and I would like to say that officially. You do not know what you are talking about,” Fauci said. Paul countered: “No one is saying those viruses caused the pandemic. What we’re alleging is that gain of function research was done in that lab and NIH funded it. You can’t get away from it, it meets your definition and you are obfuscating the truth.” As the two men talked over one another, Fauci interjected that Paul was the one who was obfuscating the truth. “You are implying that what we did resulted in the deaths of individuals,” Fauci responded as he pointed his finger at Paul. “I totally resent that, and If anyone is lying here senator, it is you.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbsolutSurgen Posted July 20, 2021 Author Share Posted July 20, 2021 There is no plan in existence that gets the majority of the planet vaccinated before the end of 2023. Most epidemiologists are anticipating that before that time, a break-through variant will occur that will bypass of the immunity of the present vaccines. This is one of the reasons that mRNA vaccines are so groundbreaking. The vaccines can be adapted to protect from new spike proteins in a few days -- rather than in months or years. We will need boosters every 1-2 years, likely for the foreseeable future. We may need to lock-down again waiting for booster shots that protect us from the break-through variant. None of this is really new thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenVectron Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 For the first time since Oct 2, my city has 0 new reported cases of COVID-19. Over the last 7 days our average for new daily cases is 3/day. Population of 275,000, for reference. Provincial stats for today, things are looking pretty good: Overall my province has the almost-worst vaccine uptake in Canada (only 64% total pop with first dose, 51% with second), but we seem to be averaging around 25 new cases per day (total pop 1.1 million), and over 80% of new cases are unvaxxed, with another 18% being single-dosed.

CitizenVectron Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 India's Pandemic Deaths Likely Exceed 3 Million, Study Finds - The New York Times WWW.NYTIMES.COM A comprehensive effort to estimate excess deaths in the country during the pandemic produced figures 10 times the government’s official coronavirus toll. Yikes. Quote The number of people who have died in the coronavirus pandemic in India so far is likely to exceed three million — nearly 10 times the official Covid-19 death toll — making it one of the worst human tragedies in the nation’s history, according to a new study. Quote In a comprehensive examination of the true toll of the pandemic in the sprawling nation of 1.4 billion, the Center for Global Development, a Washington research institute, attempted to quantify excess deaths from all causes during the pandemic based on state data, international estimates, serological studies and household surveys. Quote “True deaths are likely to be in the several millions, not hundreds of thousands, making this arguably India’s worst human tragedy,” said its authors, one of whom is a former chief economic adviser to the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

AbsolutSurgen Posted July 20, 2021 Author Share Posted July 20, 2021 I am not sure how to treat the vaccination data... Ontario claims that 96.5% of people 80+ have 1 dose. BUT, Toronto claims to only have have 75.9% of their 80+ partially vaccinated. And Peel claims to only have 73.9% of their 80+ partially vaccinated. They all show that ~80% of eligible population is partially vaccinated.... But it is impossible for Ontario's numbers to be that high for 80+, and the two biggest PHU to have numbers that low. [The 18-24 numbers don't make sense in the opposite direction...] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Pretty much all the smart people I’ve been reading have said the wealthy nations are transitioning into living with Covid in the same way we live with the Flu. That seems right. But we still need to keep trying to get more people vaccinated as that is part of how we mitigate the overall effects of the virus in our communities. It is also why I’ve been posting about some of the cool treatments that will be coming on market in Q4. These will be needed both in the developing world where vaccination is way behind the rich countries, but also in rich countries for those who ended up infected including vaccinated people. We will be in a significantly stronger position this winter with both the high numbers of people with immune system protection and much better therapeutics.
