    CDC confirms remarkably low Coronavirus dearth rate .26%

    (So why are we still locked down....)

    why would it be mandatory to fly on a plane? (or hopefully not without one)

    i'm happy to wear filter masks and avoid humans.

    as for cures, there's just going to continue to be more plagues until we lower the human birthrate,
    and replace a number of ways we currently take for granted, such as associating automobiles (and airplanes) with transportation,
    and combustion with electrical power (and transportation)

    i would also be happy to change my d.n.a. (and with resulting changes to physical form and appearance) such as to result in having natural immunities.
    the process, were it to exist, as well at some point it yet may, would of course likely involve vaccinations.

    i don't think skin likes having more holes poked in it then necessary, but when it is, it is. whichever lets me live longer and happier.

    I would get as much info before answering this. Depends of the success rate and other info about any said vaccine. But my experience with vaccines has been good, so I'd probably take it - but not necessarily to travel on a plane anywhere. My traveling days are limited to overland by wheels and oversea by vessel that floats (preferably with sails).

    I refused to take the H1N1 vaccine and I turned out OK

    That is fiction you are fabricating.the CDC acknowledges the efficiency is vaccines are variable an can be less that 60% in some vaccines

    Quote your sources. Otherwise I just see someone who has no clue whatsoever just rambling on about the memes they see on Facebook.

    No to almost all vaccines. I have taken a tetanus shot, and I'd probably take a rabies vaccine if necessary, in spite of having an herbal remedy for that. There are still some things I'd only use herbs for if a conventional remedy wasn't available.

    Not for those whose life is ruined by side effects. I'd be more inclined to take a chance with such things if they could prove I wasn't in that 1-2 percentile.

    I see this kind of “logic” all the time as people head to the casinos every day thinking this will be the day I win big. Sadly the odds of most vaccines providing protection are much better than the “house” odds yet numbers of people reject vaccines. Thankfully for many of us alive during the polio epidemic Salk came in the nick of time. It is insane and irresponsible to reject vaccines that have spared many of us everything from diphtheria to mumps, from smallpox to whooping cough. Perhaps some people feel more comfortable facing a disease with a fatality rate of 10 or 20 percent or higher than the tiny percentage with adverse vaccine outcomes. Tragic that the allure of pie in the sky conspiracy theories causes such warped mental conclusions.

    Well, gee....ain't you just some kind of "special"....

    I fail to see any similarities between playing at a stupid gambling casino vs taking a chance on you, or your child's health, especially since losing at a casino, like losing at a state lottery, won't sentence you or your child to a life of debilitating problems. Nice try, though. I'll still take my chances with my own God-given immune system.

    Also: CoVid doesn't have a 10 or 20% fatality rate. More like .02% over here in the USA, unless some leftist idiot like Cuomo intervenes to force things to be far worse. Forcing infected patients into nursing homes comes to mind here.
     
  13. I take NO Vaccines and Covid is no exception...I'm not flying anywhere and if I still flew, I'd stop flying...did my share in the sky.

    Not until it has been tested and the side effects and such are worked out, to the point where there'd be little risk in taking it.

    Makes sense to me. Many of us are alive today only because vaccines for small pox, polio, and even shingles have become available. Our son had shingles several years ago and had a vaccine with reasonable effectiveness been available I know for sure he would have taken it.
     
  16. Well, I'm 82 and had smallpox vac to get into 1st grade and no other vaccines...Maybe polio but I don't remember. Maybe had 2 flu jabs in my 40's and that's been it.. Vaccine industry doesn't rich off me. Now, I do support Big Supplement industry. Prefer to keep myself in a good health state....

    As a child, had all the childhood "horrid" diseases and lived a good strong life to talk about it.

    The coronavirus is here to stay — here’s what that means

    excerpt:

    "With a highly effective measles vaccine — two doses and a person is protected for life — the measles virus has been eliminated in many parts of the world. Before a vaccine was developed in 1963, major epidemics killed about 2.6 million people, mostly children, a year. Unlike flu vaccines, the immunization for measles has never needed to be updated because the virus has yet to evolve in ways that evade the immune."

    This entire thread illustrates why humanity is doomed.

    I have gained more confidence in the vaccine and I'm one of those who have had the virus more than once .

    For the vaccine to be effective we need herd immunity which will need around according to a top professor 70% take up plus those that have had the infection and have resistance , If the take up isn't sufficient then this virus will be devastating populations for many years to come.

    I am sure those that don't take up the vaccine will be excluded from certain places.

    I have been isolated and protected for the past 10 months because I have a number of health issues which make me extremely 'vulnerable'. I am now awaiting the call to get the vaccine - to enable me to get out and about again and when that scumbag Boris opens up the country again I can visit my restaurants with my friends again.
