Why exactly would I give a fuck what color their skin is?

Those are three incredibly random countries to compare.

Sweeden has a population density of 25 people per square kilometer. Israel has 400. That is 16 times as densely populated, which is the ideal situation for a virus to spread. The US is 36 per square km. I'm not sure why anyone without an agenda to skew reality would pick those three countries. There is also no source for that data.

Hard to get an ideal comparison with population density, but at least we could compare similar populations as common sense would dictate. Virginia has roughly the same number of people as Israel.

Virginia has had 32 cases on average per day for the past 90 days, so it has had roughly 900 deaths over the same period, despite being far more sparsely populated than Israel. 83.77 per square km. So Israel is at least doing better than Virginia. (All data from Google's which is sourced to wikipedia and ny times, unless otherwise stated).

Florida by the way had 6,600 deaths in August. A little less than three times the population, far more spread out, but 8 times the deaths. Texas had 150. Yesterday. 

Another curious thing is why we would analyze only the last 30 days. We have more data. How many covid deaths in July? 40 by my count. May? 5 by my count. April, 115 by my count. For comparison sake, in April, in Florida 1,736 people died. In July, Texas had about 600 (a little over 3x the population way less dense overall). Tennessee managed about 600 in August, nearly matching Israel. Very impressive for a state with about 2.3 million less people than Israel and about 1/7 the population density.  

When one zooms out the chart showing deaths by vaccination status, as one would assuming they were a competent and honest person and not incompetent or trying to push a moronic agenda, they would see a clear picture. From January when the data begins, unvaccinated deaths dwarf vaccinated deaths. It's not even close. After several months of vaccination, deaths among the vaccinated were virtually non existent and unvaccinated deaths began lowering as well. And, the total deaths overall were basically zero from around the end of March until the middle of July. The curve was flat. 

Then, at the end of July, deaths among those who had been vaccinated started shooting up reaching about the same levels as the unvaccinated. But, only among those who did not receive booster shots. Among those who did receive a booster, the death rate was still less than 1 per day. 

Assuming one is not a dishonest shithead trying to push an agenda, the conclusions to be drawn are clear. Vaccination is effective, but the vaccination's effectiveness wears off over time. Thus, the best course of action is to vaccinate, and give boosters at around 6 months. I assume that's the point you were trying to make.

Thanks for demonstrate the efficacy of vaccines for us <3 I hope the world will follow your sage advice and follow Israel's model!

Like Rolling Stone(d) is any better? Just because their bias is hidden due to a random name doesn't mean they don't have one. The point is whether or not the subject matter is accurate and credible.

I shouldn't read and respond with them, but you should with Rolling Stone, even though you admit the story could be BS and we need to wait? Perhaps Rolling Stone should've done it's due diligence by waiting and further investigating, since it's such a 'mainstream upstanding' organization then, right?

So people can't get human Ivermectin, since it's being held back or is in short supply, and are turning to animal versions, which would require an adjustment to the dosage? Why isn't there a push to make sure human Ivermectin is plentiful since it clearly is for animals? Also, what constitutes exposure in the report?

Hopefully this link is legitimate enough for you. Here is the initial paragraph so you can decide if the rest is worth your time.

With NY and it's strict vax pass push, POC would be kept form attending events and establishments that others could, correct?. Segregation that targets POC in this case seems kinda racist doesn't it?

Hey gang,

If you don't remember, I was the guy who took the second dose of Pfizer the same day I traveled on a plane, and it kicked my ass the whole 14 hour flight and some.

Further update - My 3 year old daughter got Delta days after the flight, and it was tough on her. it was honestly quite painful for me to observe, the father, seeing your three old battling this damn virus for close to 2 weeks.

My 5 year old son contracted it from her about a week later as he tested positive. The weird thing is, my son unlike my daughter, showed absolutely no symptoms. We wouldn't even have known he had it if he didn't have to do a PCR for school.

My wife and I, both vaccinated with Pfizer, never contracted covid-19 despite being in very close proximity to both.

No. And nobody said anything about vax pass. Not interested in your concern trolling. 

:(. Good that you didn't contract it. My Sister and her Husband got it from their babies despite vaccination. None of them were seriously ill, but hoping there are no long term consequences. Hope the same for your kids.

5% hospitalisation rate is actually pretty high for an illness, and the thing is very infectuous, so reaches a lot of people. Thing is, our health system is optimized for the health issues arising in *normal* times. Meaning, additional capacity is usually removed, as it costs money and is not normally needed. COVID now increases the load on the system, bringing it to it's limit or beyond. That's why the thread as mentions of patients waiting for hours or are outright rejected by hospitals.

There is another thing: as doctors and nurses usually feel obligated to help the people in danger, the increased load on the system leads to them doing a lot of overtime. Because they decide to add another 5 hours to their already 10 hours long shift or to help their colleagues with all the patients. This has effects long term. In Germany in April was a study released, that showed that about a third of nurses are considering to change their job, mostly because of the pressure COVID has created. Simply put: the health professionals are so overworked, they don't feel like they are able to go on.

Thing is: comorbidities are a factor in basically all big epedemics. For the spanish flu it was starvation as a result of World War I, for Cholera epidemics the access to clear water has a tremendous effect on survivability. And in general: a healthy young body is much more able to withstand an infection than an old body with Diabetes or smoking. We all know that. Even before COVID, we knew that overweight, smoking or diabetes reduces your life expectancy. Usually not because these things killed you directly, but because they made you more suspectible to other illnesses. So what you say about COVID is also true for flu or other illnesses.

So I agree, governments should strive for fighting other health issues, but COVID does exactly nothing to change that. It is simply an illness that poses a danger to everyone, but as usual the most vulnerable are hit the most and first.

OMG that HermanCainAward subreddit is pure gold.
Already spent way too much time reading the topics.

It is honestly just sad. The amount of effort people do to kill themselves.

I like to think I am not a bad person, so I do my due diligence and try not to kill them either despite being protected.

Sorry, to hear about your daughter. Struggling with strong illness is never nice, for small kids it may be even harder.

People are different, that's why it may have hit your daughter harder than your son. Also it may have an influence, how much virus they initially breathed in, as more initial virus may result in a bigger virus base, before the immune system kicks in.

It is also conceivable the vaccination protected you against infection. Apparently the first time directly after vaccination you have an elevated level of immune bodies against the disease, that help prevent the infection taking root at all. Later on only the long-term immune reaction stays, which means the infection might take root in your body, but the specific immune response kicks in fast and prevents serious illness.

There is a study, that apparently people with serious infection can develop antibodies against ACE2, so your own body. This doesn't sound great.

That may be a problem coming up, as it affects development of each years flu vaccines:
