Why oh why do the press have to 'over-simplify' or otherwise dumb-down far too far?... Covid infection protection waning in double jabbed wrote: Researchers say they are seeing some waning of protection against Covid infections in double-jabbed people. What isn't explained there is that what 'it is' that is 'waning' are the front line antibodies that your immune system produces for an infection. Meanwhile, what is just as important is that the longer lasting 'memory' part of your immune system will still be primed to produce new antibodies quickly for any new infection. You still get a 'head start' to head off or at least recover from infection far faster than without the vaccine. A further part to the story not mentioned in that article is that good healthy caution is still needed to stay healthy! Stay safe folks!

Get the shot and wear your damn mask. Why? Religious perversity? Martyrdom? There's a sayin' somewhere about standing still, watching a river flood, and being washed away just the same. Or are anti-vaxxers on some kind of wind-up against the rest of the world? Stay safe folks!

And another one gets smitten... Double vaccinated and he likely felt invulnerable and enjoyed a night in a crowded pub with the rest of the maskless crowds. (That's now two of my friends knobbled whilst in the pub...) He's now uncomfortably down and out for a few days. Bound to be the delta variant. At least the vaccine will keep him out of hospital. And for a follow-up story: A local sales assistant who got knobbled by COVID last year, recovered, and has since been double vaccinated... She is only just now starting to regain her sense of smell and sense of taste. That's after almost a full year later! Stay safe folks!

This One, so far, I have a Choice. https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/197/11/ It is within the police power of a State to enact a compulsory vaccination law, and it is for the legislature, and not for the courts, to determine in the first instance whether vaccination is or is not the best mode for the prevention of smallpox and the protection of the public health. |

The key phrase in that fine example is: "For the common good" [of everyone]... We've very successfully used vaccines to overcome the painfully deadly horrors of smallpox and measles. The next nasty disease running deadly rampant is COVID... That's a very fine next target for vaccination. Stay safe folks!

Now that the world's total case tally has exceeded 217.1 million and total deaths pass 4,514,300 it's time for another update of the lists. The 3 changes on the total death list were Myanmar passing Sweden, but they remain in 40th place as Malaysia took flight over them as well as Paraguay and Japan to claim 37th and Indonesia ripped Italy out of 8th spot. Now for the total case list changes. For starters we have a new member added to the list with the Republic of Palau making its debut in 221st spot out of now 223 (including 2 ships), Grenada took 206th off of Greenland while Saint Kitts/Nevis passed the Faeroe Islands to become 201st member of the 1K+ club, the Faeroe Islands became the 202nd member, Dominica jumped over Tanzania and St. Barth into 198th as Brunei replaced St. Vincent Grenadines in 194th, Sao Tome/Principe nudged the British Virgin Islands out of 192nd and Saint Martin humped over Monaco and Liechtenstein to take over 186th place. New Zealand also passed Liechtenstein to claim 185th place, Saint Lucia removed Yemen from 171st as Iceland displaced the Channel Islands from 166th, Burundi took flight over Nicaragua, the C.A.R., South Sudan and Djibouti to land in 161st while Laos also took a flight over Congo, Burkina Faso, Lesotho and Aruba to make a refueling stop in 154th, Timor-Leste was another who took to the air passing over Andorra, Curaçao, Taiwan and Belize before making a stopover in 148th and the Bahamas sailed on past P.N.G. into 144th. The Seychelles nudged Mayotte out of 142nd, Togo replaced Haiti in 140th while Cabo Verde took 131st off of Martinique, Guadeloupe was another that took to the air soaring over French Polynesia, Eswatini, Madagascar and Trinidad and Tobago to grab 124th as Australia passed Réunion to become the 120th country to enter the 50K+ clubhouse, the Ivory Coast slipped past the D.R.C. into 118th and Montenegro took 105th spot from Cyprus. Finland jumped over Zimbabwe and Namibia to land in 100th place, Albania displaced Latvia from 97th as Norway and Uzbekistan jumped over both Afghanistan and Botswana (though they may come back at that) to claim 92nd & 93rd respectively, Mongolia became the 87th member of the 200K+ club before taking 86th from Zambia while Kenya removed Qatar from 83rd, Libya was the 75th country to enter the 300K+ clubhouse before passing Oman, but they remain in 74th because Ethiopia followed them along before claiming 73rd, and Palestine took back 70th spot from Honduras. Myanmar passed Uruguay and Sri Lanka along with Azerbaijan became the 60th & 61st members of the 400K+ club before passing Kuwait, but they all remain in their respective places as Vietnam took another flight overall of them as well as Croatia to land in 59th, Guatemala also took to the air passing Bulgaria, Costa Rica, Panama and Paraguay to gain 64th spot while Kazakhstan yanked Switzerland out of 39th, Israel took 34th off of Portugal, Thailand leapt over Sweden and Pakistan into 30th and Bangladesh removed Canada from 26th. Malaysia leapfrogged Chile and Czechia into 23rd place while the Philippines dragged the Netherlands out of 20th as Iran leapt over Spain and Colombia to claim 9th spot and that finishes off this update. |

Get the shot and wear your damn mask. There are costs and consequences: COVID hospitalization averages $20K—and insurers want unvaccinated to pay up wrote: ... surcharge is "necessary to address the financial risk" of not getting vaccinated... And staying unvaccinated and unprotected is costly in more ways than just money... Stay safe folks!

Just the facts: Rocket builder ULA will require employees receive Covid vaccines beginning Sept. 1 wrote: ... “This requirement is in alignment with our U.S. government customer and industry direction and will place us in a much better position to meet the nation’s needs and our [launch] manifest commitments while protecting the health of everyone at our facilities,”... My personal suspicion is that the requirement is strongly motivated to avoid ill health causing "schedule disruptions"... ... And to reduce hospitalization costs?... Stay safe folks!

Delta is here. Last month - all of July - there were 10 "overflow" cases. Today, just today, there were 20. That is 66 times more cases. Most of the face sheets said Covid+ What is an "overflow"? The hospital morgue has overflowed and run out of room to store bodies and has to hire out cooler space. Wear your mask, get your shot! |
