There are places on Earth where freedom of choice is without limitations, Mogadishu for example. A functioning society isnt possible without guidelines, which must limit the freedom of choice at a certain level, to the benefit of the society. If a minority try to ignore the guidelines, or to call them wrong, then this minority is of a dictatorial mindset. Unvaxxed people have to live with the needed restrictions, which are designed to enable the physical integrity of the people who do verything possible to keep themselves and others healthy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pointing out the inconsistencies. You can't be for the right to choose to be vaccinated or not and then support imposing restrictions on those people. That don't make sense to me. Quote Babies cannot be vaccinated. You want to allow people to be baby killers? That seems to be a rare occurrence. Don't forget, there are babies that also dies from the flu. Do you support imposing restrictions on people who don't take the flu vaccine? Quote Transplant recipients have reduced immune systems. You want to allow people to kill transplant recipients? Cancer patients have reduced immune systems. You want to allow people to kill cancer survivors? Again, individuals who have a compromised immune system are at risk of many other viruses than Covid-19. The CDC has a whole guideline in that situation on how to avoid catching or spreading germs. Still, I wouldn't want to be in that position. Edited January 28, 2022 by Only_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see it that way. I chose to be vaccinated to protect myself. I don't expect more from a vaccine (it's not a panacea) and unless dictatorship and brute force be employed I certainly don't expect that everyone will choose to be vaccinated. We have to do everything we can be stay healthy, protect the vulnerable while also respecting the rights of others. I understand that isn't easy. But I think it can be done without falling for one extreme or the other. Edited January 28, 2022 by Only_ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to manage a situation that is extreme because the virus itself is merciless in its actions so, effective actions might look extreme to a few but the personal sensitivities of these people should not be taken into account and/or as a scale.

taniwha Posted January 28, 2022 Author #231 Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) As for the topic and the post in question, I conclude its a fair analysis. I don't know about stereos qualifications either or Isabella's, all I can tell you is I'm not a Dr either I've probably been to the hospital only 3x before, and that was to hold someone else's hand You might be medically correct on the terminology concerning myocarditis and blood clots v heart attacks. If your heart fails it sends you cardiac arrest from my understanding. I guess for the appropriate treatments sakes it's critical not to split hairs on the issue, so I agree with you for pointing that out. I have a sister in Perth she is paramedic. She took the jab to keep her job. I have never talked to her since covid. Her boyfriend is a regular Outback Dundee. He has a red dog that is the same red colour as his sheep, their diet must be 1 part pellets and 2 parts sand or else they are just permenantly sunburned, or evolved to look like the desert. He was talking about sunglasses for his hardy flock at one stage but he got sidetracked and instead got busy and invented the world's first and only harmonica boomerang cool thing is it whizzles waltzing matilda. That's what it's called, a Whizzling Matilda, changed the name for copyright purposes of course. Reckons he won't mass produce it cos b***** paying Banjo and that Ralph character royalties everytime someone throws it, even if they get sick of it and throw it away, more money out his pocket he reckons. You OZs are something else though, go 'walkabout', get over it, couple days later, come back, good as gold, eh?just like boomerangs lol Cheers Edited January 28, 2022 by taniwha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you choose not to follow the thread then so be it. Problems with natural immunity: Roughly 1/3 of people infected with COVID-19 do not show signs of natural immunity Natural immunity wanes faster than vaccine induced immunity Being asymptomatic has nothing to do with the 1/3. You really don't understand the issues or take the time to follow the posted evidence. And actually I posted the evidence in this thread that natural immunity fades faster than vaccine induced immunity. You have proved multiple times that you are not following the thread. It's a twisted truth you choose to believe because interpretation is key. In at least one study cohort recipients in the previously infected group were not subject to pre trial antibody testing, and there is no evidence to calculate how many in all of the previously vaccinated groups were in fact covid positive at the time of their initial vaccinations. Such incomplete safeguards would slew any correct answer your way mine. Obvious, the data comes to you as no surprise at all, it seems the only thing that you find surprising is why anyone would be surprised by it. This is an interesting question for you. Would the CDC have a model or forecast of expected outcomes? If so how correct was it? That would be a better gauge on the size of the 'bombshell'.

In regards to the studies what I meant is that more studies and research is needed in regards to natural immunity vs vaccines because different studies are counteracting each other. I do agree that it should be a choice to get vaccinated yes or no but at the same token if you choose not to get vaccinated you will have to put up with the restrictions. It's that simple. 100% agree, just as everyone else will have to put up with the protests until change happens for the better, end of 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see if can help you out. Here is a recent study which also refers to a published article from last year also showing you are mistaken. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciimmunol.abn8014 Quote It has been well established that natural infection alone provides short-lived protection from infection, (17) showing the importance of vaccination, regardless of infection history. Because vaccination protects against severe disease and death, (19) it is safer for individuals to be vaccinated before rather than after natural infection. Bolding mine. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8360277/ Quote This study found that among Kentucky residents who were previously infected with SARS-CoV-2 in 2020, those who were unvaccinated against COVID-19 had significantly higher likelihood of reinfection during May and June 2021. This finding supports the CDC recommendation that all eligible persons be offered COVID-19 vaccination, regardless of previous SARS-CoV-2 infection status. In other words as the referencing article points out, immunity from natural infection is short lived. As shown by evidence Problems with natural immunity: Roughly 1/3 of people infected with COVID-19 do not show signs of natural immunity Natural immunity wanes faster than vaccine induced immunity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the issue is more complex than you are willing to admit. Mandates have worked without brute force. So wake up and get back to reality. The flu is a terrible example. I've pointed out why, but you seem unable to comprehend even third grade level concepts. Let's try one last time. COVID-19 is far deadlier than the seasonal flu. COVID-19 does not infect and leave without injuring a significant percentage of people. COVID-19 and the seasonal flu are very different. Therefore there is no double standard. Not getting vaccinated is a selfish act. Edited January 29, 2022 by stereologist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stereologist Posted January 29, 2022 #250 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I am for mandated vaccinations to protect the public. Where is this stupidity of the anti-vaxx sums coming from from? Apparently from politicians. The former president of the US and Brazil are two prime examples of anti-science politicians. I wonder if their idiotic anti-science stances will change voting in the future as they get more of their followers to get sick or die, and opt for fake useless remedies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
