25% of Americans will not take COVID Vaccine

@Merge let's be honest. Will this pandemic ever end? As you can see its not ending this summer. The media was will keep on talking about and the government will keep on pushing the vaccine even though American will never reach herd immunity. What is your new timeline that this pandemic will end?

What will never end is your idiocy, that’s clear.

They aren't "pushing the vaccine" to reach herd immunity. They are encouraging people getting the vaccine so those at risk don't kill themselves because of something they read on Facebook. Even Hannity was encouraging people to get vaccinated yesterday.

It's only still news because states with low vaccination rates are seeing spikes in hospitalizations.
Not nearly as significant in states with high vaccination rates. Average daily hospitalizations per 100,000 for states less than 50% vaccinated is double that for states with more than 50% vaccinated.

Hannity has been pushing people to get the vaccine since the beginning. The media just made a big deal out of it last night.

Shapiro might have a point here. Are our government officials actually trying to get to 0 covid?

You watch Hannity????
 
Biden blaming Facebook for causing COVID deaths.Some thank you after they eliminated stories about his rogue son Hunter before the election.
 
@Merge Also, the DOW is nosediving. The market is very scared of what's to come with the Delta variant.


@shufan1993 Can I get your daily market analysis of why the Dow is up 600 points today or will you admit you don't know your ass from your elbow within financial markets and won't ever again try to base your ridiculous hypotheses on a one-day market move?

There is still plenty to be worried about as an investor in general
 
@Merge @shu09 @dehere23 Here we officially go again! Fauci now officially supports students and teachers to wear masks throughout the country again at the start of this school year Once you give government an inch, government will never let go. Fauci's reasoning this time is to be 'extra safe'. It is funny how some posters supported Fauci and they now see where this is going. Mask wearing will never end. Murphy will definitely be reversing course on school mask wearing now that Fauci is advising school mask wearing. I tried to warn this board!
 
@Merge Didn't you say covid would be a non story in this country by some time this summer? Now masks requirements will be reinstated!

There is absolutely nothing to worry about if you have a plan and stick to it. There is opportunity in market turmoil, but there is also value in prudence. But you're way off base with your stupid scare tactics.
 
@King of S @Merge @sami

The governor has now admitted that 31 people in NJ who trusted in the safe and effective vaccines have passed from the virus. I can't imagine how their families feel right now after putting trust in big pharma. 84 fully vaccinated people in NJ hospitals. My doctor friend confirmed with me 22 of those are currently at his hospital.

Oh yeah, the governor also noted mask mandates are really a possibility. We will see where we are at by Labor Day!


If mask mandate is instituted the tuesday after Labor Day, Merge wins thr bet right?

Correct. I always have agreed to the bet. We will see where the situation is a Labor Day. If there are mask mandates everywhere in NJ merge will not be posting here anymore. If there are no mask mandates, I will not be posting here anymore.

Just re-read the thread.

I said we won't need restrictions once people have had the opportunity to be vaccinated. I still agree with that and don't really care about predictions.

"A" labor day?

Again, by labor day =/= on labor day. The bet wasn't about Covid itself, it was about the politics and the fact that you thought politicians wouldn't let go of their restrictions for years regardless of what was happening with the virus. You were wrong. You lost a while ago.

It's fine. You didn't honor it when you lost, also didn't honor your handful of "retirements" and you won't hold honor it on labor day either.

Gee, S&P 500 on track for best day in 4 months and Nasdaq the best day in 2 months. S&P recovering from yesterday's low where the index was 3.6% off an all-time high, and up 1.52% today...

Market loves Delta Variant. Blue Horseshoe loves Anacott Steel.

Incorrect. I will honor the bet after Labor Day if I am wrong
 
This is getting absurd now. Vaccines and boosters forever. That's the end game. Big Pharma grift, as I said months ago. Of course, the same charlatans keep pushing this stuff and the media is completely in the bag. Vin Gupta, Pete Hotez, Leana Wen. Follow the money and find out who they're working for or who has compromised them.

And that differs from the annual flu shot how?

Thanks for the link. I found the last paragraph to be most useful.

“For now, experts say the bigger worry is about the unvaccinated, who account for 99 percent of the hospitalizations and deaths from the delta variant.”
Had dinner with a CFO from one of the large hospital systems in NJ (they serve both suburban and urban populations). He said vaccinations have stalled completely and none of the messaging is moving the needle. Then I heard a story this morning that only 60% of the NY Health and Hospital workers are vaccinated.

He added mental health appointments are up dramatically this year mostly due to isolation-born issues and are expected to stay high for the next three years.

Did Mr CFO say the hospitals are preparing for a spike in the fall/winter?

Or what is Mr CFO's take on the pandemic going forward?

Also, auditor told me we would easily get to 70% vax rate. It does not look like that.

This is the only consensus here, I think….masking kids ridiculous, borderline abuse

Significantly. The flu shot (I've never taken one but from what I know) is something that you know you'll have to re-up every year. With these shots they never said that. The flu shot has also been proven safe time and time again with very few adverse event reports. Not the case with these shots as they are brand new and have a ton of adverse event incidents. More time and research needs to be put into the covid shots since they are brand new on the market. These shots also use a new delivery method that has never been tried with the public before. Most flu shots use inactivated virus.

Comparing the covid shot to the flu shot is apples and oranges.

Not all folks think like you. Me and many other responsible parents believe it’s negligent to not masks your kids in indoor public places including schools when they are unvaxxed.

So as long as we are revealing personal opinions, I also think those ppl that think masking kids are ABUSE are in fact idiots, extremely selfish and/or probably those who watch too much Fox News and their brains are warped by their propaganda.

With these shots they never said that? Logic my friend.

Novel virus, not exactly familiar to them, unknown how it would mutate... I agree with you that this is overblown in the media. These variants are no different than the annual flu strains, slight mutations in the virus that cause it to attack slightly differently. It's not a stretch that an annual booster would be necessary to combat changes.

It's just they put silly words on this shit. VARIANT THIS, BOOSTER THAT. If we named every friggin flu variant and blasted it on the news, and then talked about how the prior year's flu shot was INEFFECIVE AGAINST THE NEW VARIANT and an ANNUAL FLU BOOSTER would be available, that is absolutely no different. But this shit is sensationalized and it glues people to cable news. And that sells advertising dollars.

My 6 year old twins don't complain about masks. My son has lung issues. I would like to see a vaccine for him that is fully approved, not EUA. He will get it then and I'll feel the same way I do about my masking (which is only when required, entering a medical facility - which I didn't complain about, just put a ****ing mask on).

Further, I agree masks for older kids, around teen years, is more of a problem. But it should be a choice at this point.
