Concur. I am not into hoohoo weed. I like evidence-based treatments.I'll save it for the "barberpole" worms the goats get around here...
I'll stick with the two doses of Moderna I got earlier this year.

On YouTube, a physician said the vaccine will cause the virus to mutate. What is your view?
As you say, time will tell the whole story but already we can determine the effectiveness of the vaccine by looking at case loads in unvaccinated versus vaccinated populations. If the vaxxed cohort is 10x, 100x, or 1000x less likely to produce a case (let's see the real world data), we will know the vaccine is contributing to the decline in cases. There is probably good data looking at this out there, but my doctor friends are anecdotally telling me that maybe one in 50 of the cases they see are in fully vaxxed people. Almost all the cases being recorded are in unvaxxed people.A local news article touted how we beating the virus w/ vaccinations. The lowest cases since Nov.
However, 05/25/2020, 7 day average was 46.3. One year later, 2021, its 45.9.
Most summer last year held steady at around 20-30 cases 7 day average.
How do we know the drop this year is attributed to vaccinations ? I say we wont, until Nov.

Thanks for the tip on incognito windows, I am going to try that!While waiting for Chuck, here's a good article. Note you can open it in an incognito window to view it, if you are not a subscriber:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/interactive/2021/covid-rates-unvaccinated-people/
Heres some hospitalization data for our county Pop. 628,000
Number of Adult ICU Beds Available (Moving Average Past 14 days)
05/31/2020 - 39.5
05/31/2021 - 53.4
Number of COVID-19 Patients Hospitalized (Moving Average Past 14 days)
05/31/2020 - 61.8
05/31/2021 - 33.6
Number of COVID-19 Patients on Ventilators (Moving Average Past 14 days)
05/31/2020 - 14.3
05/31/2021 - 3.1
Does this show vaccination or improved treatment ?
What do you think about the question of this coming from a leak from a BSL3 or BSL4 Virology lab?
@ Chuck - I have no useful arguments for anything that you wrote. The fact is, I'm tired of all of the discontent. It's a waste of valuable time. If I did have an argument I wouldn't voice it.
This:
"I don‘t care which side of the argument your are on, we need to protect of children and their children from the next pandemic by learning from this one."
was spot on...
I don't care who anyone votes for. I care about why, but even that is not any of my business. I can't tell you when the last time that I "pulled the lever" for someone that wasn't the lesser of two evils.
The only thing I would add is that it would be naive to think that China, or the US, or any other country, doesn't have people in power that would weaponize a virus. That is the worst of all of this. Not the "fact" but the possibility. I think it is likely but it's simply not possible to know those things as fact.
Thanks for the hopeful news. I believe it was caught fairly early (the family was ziplining a week ago) and he's relatively young. The comorbidities are the big wild card.Boatgeek,
It depends on the facility. Currently, we have a 70% success rate if caught fairly early even with the ventilator. Some of this depends on age, comorbidities, and the treatment used. The SERPH 100 is a very good treatment and there are others.
Don't lose hope. We have better treatments today.

We need an election where both candidates are named Lester so you can decide which is the eviler of two Lesters.... the lesser of two evils.
My brother's sharing articles again.
How valid is the study below in your opinion Chuck?

#1 modifiable risk is obesity. The largest risk is probably chronic lung disease such as cystic fibrosis or obstructive or restrictive lung diseases. Others should be only a small to moderate risk unless they lead to a severely immunocompromised state.
Youth is a good thing, but age is what you got and we can't do anything about it.
After being fully vaccinated and you come into contact with the virus. Can you spread the virus while being asymptomatic?
Hi @cwbullet ,
On a social network I frequent, some "Q-types" are talking about how the 5000+ VAERS reports of deaths following vaccination are just the tip of the iceberg and how all of those cases are caused by the vaccine, and there are so many more unreported cases... yadda yadda yadda. There's no reasoning with them, but I try to post rational, informed information in rebuttal so that others won't be swayed by their delusions and conspiracy theories.
One link I've posted is this one from the CDC:
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/adverse-events.html
But are there other good links that perhaps dig into the VAERS data and show how it works and look at individual cases as a demonstrated proof that most VAERS deaths are not caused by the vaccine? I'm trying to put as much good information out there as possible. Any support or links you can provide would be most appreciated.
(and, readership, I'm happy to accept help from all quarters... Chuck's a busy guy!)
