No. That is categorically, absolutely, completely false. There are breakthrough cases of stuff we get vaccinated for as children regularly whenever herd immunity is broken. The MMR vaccine (2 doses - 3 years apart) is 97% effective against measles, 88% effective against mumps. They've also found out that people my age need MMR boosters because the effectiveness of the vaccine we were given as kids wore off unexpectedly. I had my MMR shots redone in 2016. The Tetanus shot drops from 75% effective to 12% effective in about 4 years. Hep B (3 doses in the first 15 months and then restart the adult series with 2 doses after age 21) has a 90% effective rate that drops over time for 20 years.... but the vaccine came out in 1995, another in 1996, and the Hep A and B combo in 2001, you may not have gotten them. I did my series also in 2016. It takes 4 doses of the Polio vaccine (4 doses - 5.5 year spread) to reach 100% effective and the doses go from 2 months old to 6 years old for the entire series HPV (1 dose) is 86% effective in teenage women, and 71% effective in women over 20, but they won't even start administering it until at least 9 years old ate the minimum and many providers won't do it before 14. They only recently started offering it to teenage boys / adult males and they waited this long for stupid sexist reasons. (men are usually asymptomatic carriers so the doctors didn't feel the need to vaccinate them even though it was the men that were transmitting it to the women). As such, there is no data on the effectiveness in men yet because it rarely ever gets detected. Of the childhood vaccines, only the Chicken pox vaccine (2 doses - 5 years apart) meets your criteria of being 100% effective. They all require boosters, many with multi-year intervals. Many of them have their effectiveness diminish over time. The mRNA vaccines are around 93% effective at preventing hospitalization from infection, and 80% effective against any infection at all. The degradation of the effectiveness has nothing to do with the vaccine, it's your body's immune system having the memory to keep making anti-bodies. Unfortunately, just being infected with covid does not provide the same protection as getting vaccinated does and your body loses that memory even faster because it never gets the second dose unless you get infected again. Again, they work fine. Take it up with your body that the virus fighting memory diminishes over time. The vaccine is gone from your body 5 - 7 days after your shot. But this is an insanely selfish, self-centered, view. How many people did you infect in your pre-symptomatic period? Which chemo patient did you kill? Who's dad is on a respirator now all because you sneezed on a shopping cart? Just because you made it through doesn't mean you didn't infect someone else. Boosters every 6 months is a small price to pay to not kill someone. One last chart to counteract your claim that the vaccine is not effective. In the unvaccinated population, there are 9.75 deaths per 100,000 cases. In the vaccinated and boosted population, there are 0.1 deaths per 100,000 cases. So even the old talking point of "99% survival rate" is clearly not even valid.. it's currently about 90.5% for unvaccinated, but earlier this year was lower. Look at the difference in those lines... you still want to say that the vaccine is not effective against preventing deaths? It would take 970,000 vax+boosted people getting covid to equal the number of deaths from 100,000 unvaccinated.

Yeah, I've been out and about 3 times over the last couple weeks, so the Jeep is grubby..maybe this weekend or next week wash it. Heavy rain changing to freezing rain to snow between tomorrow and Friday. Had about a foot or so from the first storm on MLK day 2 weeks ago, then maybe another 4-6 inches since then...today has been the first day above 40, so some melting...

I don't want to get sick at all. Having Strep a couple weeks ago was plenty for me thanks. I also don't want to spread it to others if I did get infected... and vaccinated people have significantly lower viral loads than the unvaccinated. There is no upside to not getting vaccinated. None. Interestingly, there is an mRNA vaccine for HIV that started human trials in the last week, plus another technique using a gene therapy called CRISPER that can cut the virus out of an infected person's DNA (HIV imbeds itself in DNA, that is how it is able to hide from the body's immune system).

My wife, both my son, daughter and my sister and her partner Renee, six people in total that had Zero symptom's from getting vaccinated. Zero symptom's from getting boosted too. I do not hear except from people who are very much out of shape that they had any aches and were knocked out for a weekend. So yes, if you are totally out of shape, have other family history issues, you will probably feel the effects from vaccination. The bigger question to ask oneself is: Can I live with myself if I pass on the covid virus to more vulnerable people and they lose their life all due to my resistance to a proven vaccine that helps to prevent serious illness as well as transmitting the virus to others? ? UPDATE: Brain Fart, My Parents, wife parents, grandparents all had ZERO symptoms from the vaccine and grandparents are very German, overweight as is my wife's Korean parents that are overweight. Still no side effects from the vaccine or booster.

As a 54-year-old that works out daily, ski's 40 plus miles on the weekend, yes, I am active. But family DNA does play a part and as such, I deal with both my wife's parents and my own as well as our own grandparents, aka great grandparents to my kids and with them I take health and safety very seriously. I would hate to be a burden on our health system, I also would hate to be one that could easily transmit such a deadly virus to seniors even though I am reaching that area too. The point being is in looking at the big picture of humanity, why would one not want to protect themselves and their loved ones and friends by not boosting the body to fight off a deadly virus. The billions of test cases now, the proof that even vaccinated can get the virus, but find only a day or two down as the body is programmed to fight and destroy the virus. Caring about friends and I do consider you a friend @ccap41 you have been lucky that it did not affect you. Yet, I bet you like us all would love to get back to travel, and carefree living. As an unvaccinated person you still have a high chance of having it affect you in ways you do not even know yet. I know you think now that you have had covid you are fine, but the science does not bare that out. Just stay safe, stay alive and stay with us. David

After two weeks of snow and cold, it’s sunny and 46 today. Dragged a chair out in the driveway and enjoying the warmth, blue skies and sun before the next round of storms tomorrow…

Covid Vaccine is that successful and working as no vaccine is ever 100%. Per the recent data released by the CDC: effectiveness of full vaccination for preventing hospitalization was 96% for Pfizer-BioNTech, 96% for Moderna, and 84% for Janssen COVID-19 vaccines; among adults aged ≥75 years, effectiveness of full vaccination for preventing hospitalization was 91% for Pfizer-BioNTech, 96% for Moderna, and 85% for Janssen COVID-19 vaccines. Effectiveness of COVID-19 Vaccines in Preventing Hospitalization Among Adults Aged ≥65 Years — COVID-NET, 13 States, February–April 2021 | MMWR (cdc.gov) COVID-19 Vaccine Effectiveness Research | CDC I find this to be also effective as this story looks at the charts: How Covid-19 vaccines succeeded in saving a million US lives, in charts - Vox Hate to say it, but where various sources of these same feeble excuses that you use for not getting vaccinated are the very folks that are also vaccinated. Example is Fox News, Podcasts such as on Spotify, etc. I find it very interesting that these people lie and continue to spread false information about vaccination and yet they are also vaccinated themselves. Fox News is a perfect example where every single employee must be vaccinated but they spread lies about the vaccine. You cling to healthy young, physically fit which is what so many people say their loved ones were but unvaccinated and they died from it. If we did not care, we would not be pointing out the lifesaving benefits of the Vaccine. ? Is there possibly another reason here? Is it because of the Lies spread about how the Covid Vaccine will make you sterile, shrink your balls and make you impotent? Sadly, that one has been debunked already but seems conservative areas cling to this as if getting the vaccine makes you less of a man. I myself just do not get why you would even want to go through the illness and take the risk of dying versus vaccination. FAQ per CDC: Myths and Facts about COVID-19 Vaccines | CDC MYTH: The natural immunity I get from being sick with COVID-19 is better than the immunity I get from COVID-19 vaccination. FACT: Getting a COVID-19 vaccination is a safer and more dependable way to build immunity to COVID-19 than getting sick with COVID-19. COVID-19 vaccination causes a more predictable immune response than infection with the virus that causes COVID-19. Getting a COVID-19 vaccine gives most people a high level of protection against COVID-19 and can provide added protection for people who already had COVID-19. One study showed that, for people who already had COVID-19, those who do not get vaccinated after their recovery are more than 2 times as likely to get COVID-19 again than those who get fully vaccinated after their recovery. All COVID-19 vaccines currently available in the United States are effective at preventing COVID-19. Getting sick with COVID-19 can offer some protection from future illness, sometimes called “natural immunity,” but the level of protection people get from having COVID-19 may vary depending on how mild or severe their illness was, the time since their infection, and their age. Getting a COVID-19 vaccination is also a safer way to build protection than getting sick with COVID-19. COVID-19 vaccination helps protect you by creating an antibody response without you having to experience sickness. Getting vaccinated yourself may also protect people around you, particularly people at increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19. Getting sick with COVID-19 can cause severe illness or death, and we can’t reliably predict who will have mild or severe illness. If you get sick, you can spread COVID-19 to others. You can also continue to have long-term health issues after COVID-19 infection. Learn about why you should get vaccinated even if you already had COVID-19. If nothing else, if you want a laugh read the FAQ section, it is entertaining on all the Myths that the anti-vaccinated tend to push and are debunked.

The G70 is definitely the sportiest in the Genesis line. The GV70 is a fantastic vehicle too... Albert would love it. It's a cush cruiser with a lot of power.

You keep saying guarantee as if there is any in this world. Nothing is guaranteed. However, his likelihood of dying of covid, or even being hospitalized would have dropped drastically into the single digit percent chance range. If you get intubated there is a 75% chance you're not going to make it. If you get vaxxed and boosted there's less than a 1% chance you're even going to be intubated. I gotta ask... what is the hesitancy to a vaccine that has been administered several billion times already and is one of the most effective of all vaccines ever?

Nothing is guaranteed... not even your seatbelt. But if you're healthy with a good immune system, your symptoms would have been reduced even further with the vaccine and possibly never have even been infected. One of my part-time remote employees had it a few weeks back, she picked it up from holiday traveling with a big group of friends. All she had was a scratchy throat and a bit of tiredness because she is triple vaxxed. The kicker is that now that you've had it, if you go get your three shots, spaced out appropriately, you'll be as close to 100% immune as you can get. unfortunately, currently, you are still vulnerable to a Delta infection and in a few months even a second Omicron infection.

Much to nobody's surprise, I finally caught the covid last week. Tuesday-Thursday I had on and off body aches also with an on and off mild fever. Waking up in the morning was definitely the worst and as I took medicine and vitamins throughout the day I felt better each day but woke up feeling pretty crappy. For the most part I didn't have a cough but i wouldn't say it was completely nonexistent. No loss of taste or smell. Thursday night and all Friday was the worst as my body felt much better but for whatever reason my throat was killing me. It was extremely sore and talking or drinking hurt. I wouldn't say I'm 100% today but I'm a good 90% with a tiny cough and my throat is still a little sore. Much to EVERYBODY'S surprise though, I wasn't hospitalized nor did I die.
