Will you take a vaccine against Covid 19?

I hope you feel better today. I got my Pfizer booster on Wednesday but did not have any reaction. I did not have a reaction to the initial two shots either. I also got my flu shot last Monday (same arm).

 

I'm fine, no reaction.

 

Me,too. And no reaction.

Do you feel the same way about all vacines? Speed limits? Red lights? Keeping pigs in the back yard of a residential neighborhood/ etc.?

 

Severe symptoms like dying. Exactly!

 

That's the trouble with Darwin though. He's slow as molasses in January!

 

It's a good thing she's not allowed near the kiddies. If she doesn't give them Covid, she'll warp their minds.

Surprising spread among vaccinated people
The first report on the spread of COVID-19 in vaccinated people is based on an outbreak of 469 cases in Barnstable County, Massachusetts, where 74 percent of cases occurred among vaccinated people. Of those breakthrough cases, 79 percent were symptomatic. Over 100 of those cases were sequenced, and identified the delta variant in 90 percent of them.

Five COVID-19 patients were hospitalized, four of whom were fully vaccinated. None of them died.

The report shows that the highly infectious delta variant will likely continue to spread rapidly despite rising vaccination rates.

The outbreak began around the July Fourth holiday, a day President Joe Biden had hoped to mark as a day of “freedom” from the worst throes of the pandemic. But vaccinations lagged and the administration missed its target of 70 percent of American adults receiving a first shot by that date.

The report shows vaccination coverage in Massachusetts among people older than 12 was relatively high, at 69 percent, when compared to many other states.

The CDC researchers added the caveat that the data are not enough to draw conclusions about the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines against the delta variant, which would require a more rigorous clinical trial.

The CDC acknowledges in the report that breakthrough infections will likely grow into a larger proportion of cases as vaccination rates increase.

The report follows a confidential briefing that the CDC gave to Congress Thursday in which Walensky noted the number of cases are higher than they were at this point in the summer last year and hospitalizations are at the same level — although a vaccine was not available then.

That could be driven in part by more public gatherings this year like the one in Massachusetts.

The documents shared at the confidential congressional briefing also show that vaccine efficacy has taken a hit from delta. The CDC estimates efficacy may be 75 to 85 percent against the new variant rather than 94 percent effective or more against the original COVID-19 strain.

There are 35,000 symptomatic breakthrough cases each week, the presentation shows.

Up to 15 percent of deaths in May were among vaccinated people, the presentation shows. That contrasts with previous public CDC data showing deaths occur in a tiny number of vaccinated people, just 0.0005 percent.

 

Might also note:
“The biggest takeaway is that we need more people to be vaccinated. The vaccines are still extremely effective against delta,” said Rachael Piltch-Loeb, a public health emergency preparedness and response fellow at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. “There is a significant difference between having a fever and dying from COVID-19.”

At Least 150 State Police Members Resigning Over Gov. Baker's Vaccine Mandate: Union

The State Police Association of Massachusetts says at least 150, if not more, have either resigned or submitted their paperwork intending to do so because of the state's vaccine mandate that Gov. Charlie Baker issued back in August.

The union says state police are already critically short staffed, and those who don't comply will face a disciplinary process before any terminations would begin.

The state says more than 40,000 executive department employees -- about 91% of the workforce the mandate applies to -- have either submitted their forms attesting to their vaccination status or applied for an exemption.

 

THESE PEOPLE ARE EDUCATORS?

 

So they claim to be....lol...

 

These are the people in charge of education in the south. This explains the red states.

 

Well, that’s a job opportunity for 150 people that want to be police officers and the folks remaining on the force will rack up some serious overtime pay, due to personnel shortages.
Life goes on, with or without you….

 

Exactly the base pay sucks but with details and OT you can pull down $150K plus.

Fellow officers are probably helping them pack up their shit and clean out their lockers ...lol..

 

Did they think the system would bow down to their cause? I’m just trying to get the sense of all of this.

 

There isn’t any.

 

How could someone so highly educated be so stupid?
