Non vaxers

@Budwick And I'm sure you'll be able to show us that report and demonstrate that you understand what it means.

@ninalanyon [quote]current data shows that most of covid deaths these days are from those that have been vaxed.

I hope that helps.

@Budwick It does, it helps demonstrate you didn't understand it. Of course most deaths occur in the vaccinated, the vaccinated are now the majority of the population. Analogous to the fact that most of the people who die in motor accidents now are wearing seatbelts, it doesn't mean that seatbelts don't make it safer.

@ninalanyon Well, at least it presents an opportunity for you to present your best snarky, self righteous comments forward, doesn't it?

Maybe it's more instructive to pinheads such as you to say - It’s no longer a pandemic of the unvaccinated.

@Budwick The unvaccinated are still over-represented in the infection and death statistics.

@ninalanyon [quote]The unvaccinated are still over-represented in the infection and death statistics.[/quote]

Are you sure? Seems that vaccinated persons should not have been represented at all!
Isn't that what vaccines are for?

Oh, that's right, the CDC quietly redefined vaccine, so now vaccines might help you, but maybe not.
And, in fact this particular vaccine might kill you.

@Budwick There are two classes of vaccine: sterilising and non-sterilising. Sometimes there simply isn't a sterilising vaccine available, such as for influenza and COVID and many other viral diseases.

[quote]The memory response elicited by most human viral vaccines does not protect against reinfection, but rather against the development of disease. An individual may be exposed repeatedly to viruses and never be aware of it, because the memory response eliminates the virus before signs and symptoms develop. After vaccination with inactivated poliovirus vaccine, virus replication may take place in the intestine, but effectively blocks the development of poliomyelitis. On the other hand, the human papillomavirus vaccine is over 90% effective at blocking infection. Consequently the HPV vaccine induces sterilizing immunity.
...
No vaccine is 100% effective at inducing immunity in a population. Consequently, the level of immunity is not equal to the number of people immunized. For example, when 80% of a population is immunized with measles vaccine, about 76% of the population is actually immune, well below the 93 to 95% required for herd immunity. [/quote]

@ninalanyon Like I said, they changed the definition early in covid.
Boomers like myself would assume that vaccine would protect you from getting the disease, like vaccines used to do.

@Budwick You were never informed that some vaccinations, such as that for tetanus, have to be repeated in order to maintain protection? That was well known where I am from even when I was a child and I am only a few years younger than you (assuming your SW age is correct). You managed to avoid receiving that information for over 70 years?

@ninalanyon I was asked about tetanus shots on rare occasion I might need another.
Covid vaccinations need to be boosted every few months.

@Budwick [quote]Covid vaccinations need to be boosted every few months.[/quote]
Really? Who says? People under 65 here who have completed the course (two doses) are advised that they do not need another. Only the over 65's and those who would be expected to suffer greatly because of already compromised immunity to other diseases are advised to take the boosters. My most recent booster was taken nearly a year after the preceding one and it looks like it will be longer again to the next one if it even happens.

@ninalanyon
Apparently you can find what ever schedules you want to find!

@Budwick Your graphic doesn't mention COVID so what were you replying to?

@ninalanyon The following tables provide guidance for COVID-19 vaccination schedules based on age and medical condition and vaccine composition.

Depending on who you want to listen to, you can find booster recommendations for any schedule you want to support.

@Budwick Those schedules don't say you need a booster every every few months, or any other number of months for that matter.
