Inching ever closer to herd immunity

2 ( +17 / -15 )

Doubled in a day. Just wait for the real damage in a week or so.

Just a god job nobody was allowed to celebrate NYE at Shibuya Scramble, eh? As we all know the main danger of Corona is the possibility that somebody under 50 might be having a good time somewhere.

I can't tell if the people constantly coughing or sniffling have Covid or have something else like a cold or the flu. I am for moving on and all, but if you have obvious symptoms of some sort of sickness, please do us a favor and stay at home and get well rested. I understand many jobs here do not have sick leave which I hope gets implemented in the future, but this is a sensitive issue that may get you into trouble. I saw one guy almost get punched in the face for coughing near another person on the morning train who must have had a bad day because he started screaming and put his fists up. Stay safe everyone!

The cold dry air makes me sniff, sneeze and cough.

The government should release figures showing what proportion are 'vaccinated' and how many are reinfections.

research has shown that the mRNA 'vaccines' are negatively impacting the functioning of the immunized persons immune systems. Particularly from the 3rd shot.

They make your body tolerate the infection, much like tolerating an allergy.

This means lowered or no symptoms. But it also means the virus takes longer to clear and damages the body in the meantime.

Conclusions put forward by this research include the 'vaccinated' will not develop proper immunity. They will keep catching covid over and over again. Their bodies will also be variant factories. They will spread covid asymptomatically. It is also possible they are developing tolerances to other viruses, thus repeating these problems with other viruses.

And the original study here:

Good,

Herd immunity will not be obtained due to:

1) immunity through vaccination or exposure/recovery from the virus wanes over time, and,

2) the continuous introduction of new variants which escape the protection provided through vaccination or exposure to and recovery from a previous variant.

Here we go… post vacation numbers starting to trickle in. I predict it either doubles before the end of the weekend, or they are skewing the numbers. And don’t forget, probably tens of thousands aren’t getting tested and are just staying home

That is still completely false, the simple fact that vaccinated people develop less hospitalizations, complications and die less than unvaccinated people clearly contradicts the forced and misleading interpretation of an study that makes zero conclusions about the clinical significance of their findings, that overreaching comes only from the antivaxxer propaganda that tries very hard to deceive people by hiding this huge incoherence on their (not the authors of the sudy) conclusions.

Seeing how people are protected by vaccines even after being infected before also disproves the disinformation.

of course, even the MSM is admitting what you just said is completely false and the entire world has long since accepted the truth.

The moment you think the MSM is the authority that can decide if scientific facts are true or not you betray a completely invalid personal opinion.

How about you bring any respected medical or scientific institution to support what you say? none? that is because what you refuse to accept is actually true.

This" is completely false.

Yet that is what the scientific data clearly proves and what every institution of science and medicine clearly say, who is more likely to be wrong? the world experts of every country? or a nameless person on the internet that offers absolutely no evidence?

Time to give it a rest. Your time would be better spent improving your English skills.

reducing yourself to personal attacks proves more than anything anybody else could say that you have no arguments to disprove what was written.

Where is your evidence? "Every" institution of science and medicine? Really?!

This" is completely false.

Still a nameless person on the internet just repeating something after it was called for it to be completely baseless, hard to make more obvious that it is a false claim.

Where is your evidence? "Every" institution of science and medicine? Really?!

Yes, really, as easy to prove as you could refute this very easily by bringing any institution that support that this clear benefit from the vaccines is false, that you have been unable to do it clearly means you could not find even one.

More telling is of course that you could not refute that the authors of the article you tried to misrepresent do not say in their article what you claimed, and instead just repeat a baseless claim even after being deleted by the moderation.

But maybe you're right so how about showing us that every intituttion of science and medicine has an opinion on the subject and that they are very clear

There might be less Covid hospitalizations and deaths, but in terms of overall hospitalizations and deaths, they are higher for the vaccinated.

There might be less Covid hospitalizations and deaths, but in terms of overall hospitalizations and deaths, they are higher for the vaccinated.

Not sure if that's true because youbdidnt provide figures but that should be expected.

For me the best situation is when everyone infected is also vaccinated

It should be expected because the level of vaccination here in Japan is very high, not desirable in other countries

@virusrex

Perhaps you can find a Chinese institution promoting mRNA? You would think that with the apparent failure of their more traditional style vaccine they would have jumped on the mRNA bandwagon? Perhaps they are not beholden to western 'big pharma'.

It is surprising anyone would jump on untested drugs and inject them into the majority of a population don't you think? Don't you think many institutions have compromised themselves by jumping onto something untested and finding it hard to back down? it will be interesting to see what the AG of Florida turns up with the investigation into how these shots were authorized.

And did you read the articles above? There is a distinct difference between how igG3 and igG4 antibodies operate. The authors show how the mRNA jabs are making immune systems make the wrong type of antibody. Reasonable people may disagree on the consequences of that. But preventing the body from clearing the virus efficiently is clearly a problem.

Yep. Let them vax to the max. Meanwhile I'm staying away from these experimental DNA altering injections. Keep on vaxing up and let's talk in 10 years :)

I’m amazed that many people actually decided to get tested.
