Dear individual,

Indeed.

On Reddit there are things called sub-reddits which people can create and then attract subscribers.

There is one is called the Herman Cain Award and can be found here: http://www.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward/

For those who don't know who Herman Cain was pat of his Wikipedia bio is as follows.

“Cain opposed masking mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic. He attended the 2020 Trump Tulsa rally on June 20 and was photographed not wearing a face mask in a crowd who also were not wearing masks. On June 29, Cain tested positive for COVID-19 during the COVID-19 pandemic in Georgia and was admitted to an Atlanta-area hospital two days later. On July 2, Cain's staff said there was "no way of knowing for sure how or where" he contracted the disease. Dan Calabrese, the editor of Cain's website, said, "I realize people will speculate about the Tulsa rally, but Herman did a lot of traveling [that] week, including to Arizona where cases [were] spiking.""

The subreddit relates the stories of anti-vaxxers who have past away from the virus many recanting their opposition on their death beds but certainly not all.

When you first visit it can be easy to think it serves them right and that they brought this on themselves. And to a degree they did. However I quickly found myself being quite sorry for many of them. They are the victims of misinformation and have been swayed by political forces that really is just using them as fodder.

Quote:

Nearly half of House Republicans still won't say publicly​ whether they are vaccinated against Covid-19, even as new cases rise nationwide.

Some of the 97 Republicans who aren't sharing their vaccination status told CNN they don't have a responsibility to model behavior to their constituents.

"I don't think it's anybody's damn business whether I'm vaccinated or not," Republican Rep. Chip Roy of Texas told CNN. "This is ridiculous, what we're doing. The American people are fully capable of making an educated decision about whether they want to get the vaccine or not."

It is a very strange world we have become.

Hasbeen, why do you consider such an easy question to be difficult?

Of course Covid vaccinations should be continued. They reduce the chances of infection and the severity of symptoms in those who are infected.

Exposure to the virus itself may result in longer lasting immunity (though I wouldn't rely on that conclusion from just a single study). But you seem to be wrongly assuming that the vaccine would prevent this.

It is not clear exactly which Liu et al 2021 study you are referring to, but they're all very technical and do not suggest the vaccines may be worsening the Covid surge. That suggestion appears to be the result of an antivaxer trying to use studies he doesn't understand to support his predetermined conclusion.

Hassy,

I think many here have expressed an opinion as to the merits of vaccination. Not only am I in favour of vaccination, I favour it being made compulsory for all those eligible. You may have underlying health conditions that make you a higher risk, and possibly on doctors advice exempt from vaccination. You know as well as I do that the Palaszczuk government has done its very best at protecting you and I from Covid, but government can do only so much. BTW that's not a biased political comment, the Liberal Marshall in SA has done an excellent job as well in trying to protect his state from the virus.

The WA police commissioner has added his ignorance to the the debate by coming out with the troppo edict that non-vaccinated officers will have to wear masks. Vaccination has nothing to do with masks - the vaccinated are still required to wear masks inside; and there has NEVER been a case of transmission in the open air. WA cops are not pleased, and many of them have taken the opportunity to express their embarrassment at having to bully people with laws they are in disagreement with They now feel bullied by their commissioner.

ttbn,
how & when was that established as fact ? I've known many people who died very young & also very old long before COVID-19. remember when AIDS forst came onto the market ? Everyone died of AIDS just as everyone now dies of COVID. These days, Media fashion seems to dictate what people die of.
When someone young dies of a vaccine don't query the vaccine , find out out what was wrong with the patient !
