Unvaccinated deaths

Red Lily wrote:I don't think the vaccine is worthless.  It's not meant to stop you from getting Covid it's meant to reduce your symptoms if you do get infected.   It also won't stop you from spreading the virus to the vaccinated OR un-vaccinated so there should be no shaming towards people who don't wish to take it or vice versa.

If you have no natural antibodies it does appear to reduce your symptoms and keep you off ventilators so there's that.  Long term effects are totally unknown though and now they expect you to back up every other month for yet another jab and I'll take a big 'no thanks' to that one.

As Billy was pointing out yesterday we now have things like Molnupiravir available which will knock the virus down within a few days and probably leave you with antibodies as well.  How do all of these drugs interact?   We have no clue.

Whether I decide to succumb or not so I don't have to be a prisoner in my own home is yet to be seen.   To each his own I say but to think this is not being forced upon us is naive and I will not be forced into something at the whim of any government.   That's not free choice nor is it harming others who choose differently.

Look after the elderly, take sensible precautions and just do what you think is right for you and yours.

.........  ay Jay Phillips, a rock musician who competed on “America’s Got Talent” in 2009 and 2017, has died. He was 30.

If this were any other vaccine, at any other time, this crap would have been taken off the market and flushed down the toilet.

Staggering COVID-19 Statistic: 98% to 99% of Americans Dying are Unvaccinated
If you have decided to not get vaccinated against COVID-19, a new data analysis from The Associated Press concludes you may have a higher risk of dying compared to those who have chosen to be vaccinated.

The analysis was released in May of 2021 and looks at COVID-19 related deaths in vaccinated versus unvaccinated individuals—only .8% (150) of vaccinated people accounted for the 18,000 COVID-19 deaths in May.

With this staggering statistic, Andy Slavitt, a former adviser to the Biden administration on COVID-19 suggested that 98% to 99% of the Americans dying of the coronavirus are unvaccinated.

“The pandemic is not over,” said Augusta University/University of Georgia Medical Partnership Campus Dean Dr. Shelley Nuss. “I strongly advise everyone to consider getting a vaccine and to discuss this with their health care provider. Cases are rising throughout the United States in large part due to the particularly virulent delta strain.”

The state of Georgia itself has seen a surge cases, hospitalizations, and deaths in recent weeks. The daily average of cases on July 26 stood around 2,002 per day, 1,417 hospitalizations per day, and nine deaths per day. All statistics are the largest numbers the state has seen since January and February of 2021.

“Data has shown that nearly all individuals with severe illness, hospitalization or death from COVID-19 have been in unvaccinated individuals” said Nuss.

As of Monday, July 26, only 38% of Georgians are fully vaccinated, which is well below the national vaccination average of 49.7%. New COVID-19 cases are surging where vaccination rates are low.

............ If you, a friend or a loved one remain unvaccinated against COVID-19 at this point – for whatever reason – you are at higher risk for dying if you do become infected.

That's the conclusion of a new report The Associated Press released looking at COVID-19 deaths during May 2021.

Of more than 18,000 people who died from COVID-19, for example, only about 150 were fully vaccinated. That's less than 1%. .............
