This Covid thing is something else

The reality here is that no vaccine is 100%. So, he unfortunately had a breakthrough infection, and died. It will happen again. The thing is, those without the vaccine have a significantly higher chance of catching this disease and having the worst outcome.

This is just an attempt at disinformation. It might convince more people that the vaccine doesn't work, leading to more deaths. Ironically, if we had enough vaccinated people for herd immunity, this would not be an issue because the virus would have burned itself out...
About 5 times more likely to get infected and about 11 times more likely to die

Your call if 5x is significant.
 
Apparently the Sonoma County just had its first covid related pediatric fatality

I'd say that is significant. Don't you?

Part of the issue is the Delta variant is much easier to transmit and appears to have a high mortality rate. The major issue is that the unvaccinated are allowing it to spread rapidly, and its also mutating into new variants. That's why it is important to get the shot ASAP to anyone who can take it. The reality is that people, both vaxxed and unvaxxed will needlessly die until we get enough people the jab. Right now it isn't a question of supply but of demand.

Part of it is the inherent distrust of drug companies. I get that. The other is the speed in which the vaccines were developed. I get that too. Then there are the folks who spread disinformation, lies and anecdotal stories about catastrophic responses to the vaccine. Or cherry pick data from studies that do not give solid information. So far MILLIONS have had the shot and they aren't dropping like flies. The vaccines are providing protect, and when there are breakthrough infections, they are mitigating the how severe the case is.
 
Bottom line is vaccine alone won't guarantee you won't get COVID....wearing a mask won't guarantee you won't get covid...there's no factual number that proves which one works....

Ask Kenny if this is true in Alberta?
 
We are going to have to learn to live with covid, we will be getting boosters vaccines too, it will be 5-6 years before we can stop with all the masking, physical distancing, and vaccine passports for travel.
 
A complete fallacious statement. Vaccines will not give us herd immunity.
At least that's what someone who has no understanding of vaccines or herd immunity would say.

The only potential stumbling block to herd immunity here is all the people buying the anti-vax con.

Yes, that's how vaccines works. Also condoms aren't 100% but I'm sure as shit wearing one outside a committed relationship. The only 100% proven method would be to live in a bubble by yourself in the remote arctic. Meanwhile it has indisputably been shown that vaccines reduce the chances of getting infected and significantly reduce the chances of serious complications.

Anti-vaxxers aren't the stumbling block. Politicians public health officers and the media are.
 
Mostly from scientific papers. You should try it instead of facebook or graffiti on the bathroom wall.

Actually those that agree with you are getting it from facebook. Didn't you know that Mark Zuckerberg controls and deletes the information that you believe is conspiracy theory. You are aware Kevin Sorbo had his facebook account deleted because he post a comment that he didn't think the lockdowns were needed. So the information or what you would call misinformation cannot been seen on facebook and youtube anymore
 
Should we also be posting the many paediatric cases of death due to covid?
You didn't read, again. This is THE ONLY pediartic covid casualty in the Sonoma County.
