Public Health COVID-19 Mobile Vaccine Program Scaling Down After March

@4:16

Stay arrogantly ignorant.

Sure, at least until the threat of infection goes way down. It's a good idea to stay healthy, especially given all the long-term damage that COVID can do to multiple systems of your body.

Maybe someone with no knowledge of virology shouldn't speculate about lights in tunnels.

and attack the ones that do.

"We didn’t learn or use that term in med school."

You obviously didn't study virology, or pick up any knowledge of it since.

"I don’t follow social media too much."

Or medical news or peer-reviewed science.

"But it makes absolute sense that one would get better (certainly no worse) immunity from having had an infection than a vaccination."

That something makes sense to someone completely uninformed isn't relevant.

"I don’t agree with you, that’s all."

Well, also you're factually wrong.

So @1245 then according to your logic, the random person commenting here is“ interesting” too, probably more so, don’t you agree?

I should clarify that by less respected drs its referring to the hierarchy within the medical field itself. Surgeons at the top, then neurologists, cardiologists, trauma, etc.

The med school claim is interesting. There are plenty of doctors who understand their discipline but should refrain from commenting unless they specialize in infectious diseases, public health, or epidemiology. I wouldn't consult a pediatrician on neurology, nor a neurologist on gynecology, or an OBGYN on a hip replacement. Even the less respected medical doctors like psychiatrists, anesthesiologists, and radiologists shouldn't comment unless its specific to their work. Did they go to med school? Sure, but I wouldn't trust their opinion outside of their direct specialty. I'm a knowledgable and respected architect, but don't hire me as an electrician.

ignorant? wow coming from someone who knows little to nothing about basicinfo805..... wow foot in mouth

the internet does not mean you can make baseless claims of things you know nothing about. basicinfo805's education background.... AND virology. if you sit here and complain about how basic should use google, yet you miss the wedpage called CDC.GOV

Its sad when someone who claims being educated in certain areas (med school in this case), is totally ignorant. BASICINFOxxx should learn to read and google.

Meaning you haven't been paying attention to the data, and prefer to base your conclusions on opinion. I'm very glad you're not my physician, and my condolences to any for whom you are.

Again, the data I posted @ 1:24 is from the CDC. weekly MMWR reports for CA.

For those interested, here are the actual CDC reports:

That's what it is @2:28. If there is an incorrect data point, please point it out.

Perhaps you should consider looking at actual CDC data.

Maybe the natural immunity deniers can help explain why, per the MMWR data from the CDC, those vaccinated and without a prior infection have a higher hazard rate than both the vaccinated and unvaccinated who've had a prior infection?

If there is an error in the data, point it out.

"No one is saying to intentionally get covid rather than the vaccine." -- There actually are people saying that ... they have parties for that purpose. "But the protection provided by a prior covid infection, particularly from the same strain, is at least as robust and longer lasting than the currently available vaccines." -- That is not just false, but the complete opposite of the truth. "To dismiss the antibodies and protection provided by a prior infection, aka natural immunity, is not following science that has been established for hundreds of years." -- strawman ... no one said anything about dismissing them.

Touting "natural" immunity, as is being done by the proponents here and on social media, means deliberately shunning the vaccines, no matter what the original medical term was meant to convey.

You didn't read it, obviously. What it says is that immunity from a COVID infection is much more variable, and in many cases, nonexistent, compared to the more predictable levels of protection provided by the vaccines, especially the mRNA vaccines. All immunity wanes over time, but the vaccine immunity lasts longer in most people. The vaccines, when boosted, even prompted immune responses in the immunocompromised.

Though not mentioned there, one immunocompromised individual who had been suffering from long COVID for eight months managed to clear the infection after he was treated with the Pfizer vaccine, not a usual course of therapy.

Your agenda is showing.

That is not the fact check you think it is, please read it again carefully. No one is saying to intentionally get covid rather than the vaccine. But the protection provided by a prior covid infection, particularly from the same strain, is at least as robust and longer lasting than the currently available vaccines. To dismiss the antibodies and protection provided by a prior infection, aka natural immunity, is not following science that has been established for hundreds of years.

7:55 - As another victim of social media medical information, you'll be surprised to learn that you've been lied to:

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/facts.html?s_cid=11714:covid%20immunity:sem.ga:p:RG:GM:gen:PTN:FY22

no, its accurate.

That is 100% misinformation @1:20 PM.

Funny, for someone who claims to be a doctor. "Natural immunity" is what the social media anti-vaxxers have been touting, claiming that you get better immune response from a "natural" COVID infection than you do from vaccines. Total BS, as the reinfection rate involving Omicron aptly demonstrated.

3:58 - Obviously, COVID can have rather severe neurological aftereffects.

Nothing that CF has ever written at EdHat about Covid has been true.

Omicron is mild whether vaxed or not. It was no worse than a common cold for us, yet the media hypes it as the plague. Alpha was a real, week long, flu-like experience, no fun. Delta was like a mild flu. We are over it! No mask, no vax, NO FEAR!

Omicron was mild if you were vaccinated...it's turned out to be pretty deadly in Hong Kong - particularly the elderly unvaccinated folks.

The only costly lies were the ones spread by antivax morons, and they were costly in lives.

Not satire. The World is waking up to the costly lie.

That's meant to be satire, right? Omicron totally demolished the myth of "natural immunity".

My kid came back from Spring break sick with a cold (so far, the only one in the family - and also so far, testing negative...)
