"...falsely claiming those who have recovered from the virus are “now immune.”

I've had about all of this chit I care for.

Just tell me what happened. I'll make up my mind on what's false, verified, accurate, baseless, etc.

I'm so sick of these phony "news outlets" trying to tell me what to think.

We've all seen what you're really worth. Bullchit polling, forecasts, projections, on and on. It all boils down to you miserable whores would sell your mothers for a quarter.

The comment section in The Hill is all full of libs that have a level of hysteria I have never seen before. They have completely lost their minds with fear of the China Virus.

I hear you.

The media has in fact made things crystal clear.

Believe the exact opposite of what they are saying. Do our own research, but assume they are lying/distorting/etc.

“If COVID-19 survivors as a group don’t have some kind of immunity then there is no logical basis for a vaccine to exist.”

Flu vaccines?

What they are truly afraid of is not the virus but they fear losing the virus as a cudgel to beat the rest of us into submission.

The farce is over the vaccine is here and there virus has been defeated.
A foretaste of things to come politically it is a metaphor they cannot fail to perceive even if they don’t understand it.
Is kind of like the phrase dead man walking.

At best you are getting a 60% chance of being inoculated against a virus that they have a vaccine for and they thought highly enough of it to include it in this years cocktail.

Do you know how these things work at all?

>falsely claiming those who have recovered from the virus are “now immune.”

1) Reporter/Editor playing doctor again.

2) If those recovered from C19 are not immune, then a vaccine is useless.

There are lots of different flus.

And many diseases, like tetanus, require boosters after awhile.

For C19, the booster will come not from new shots but constant exposure. Those who have had C19 but still isolate themselves may lose immunity over time.

> “There is no evidence that if you’ve been infected with COVID-19 that you are immune from reinfection for any period of time.” Gupta pointed to a 25-year-old Nevada man who scientists confirmed was the first case of coronavirus reinfection in the U.S. last month.

Scientists are usually happy with 95% statistical confidence.

But when it is political, 1 in 10,000,000 or 99.99999% confidence isn’t good enough.

The Pfizer vaccine is supposedly 90% effective. That is obviously 1 million times less effective than recovering from an actual infection.

At this point I’d like to do the Rip Van Winkle thing and go into deep hibernation for the next 20 years...hopefully by then this mask-hysteria will have ended.

Gupta cites ONE case of reinfection. The odds of an initial false positive are enormous.

The surge is because people are out and about....it is a virus...

Masks and lockdowns only slow the spread....

Think the Asian flu...when my wife a first grade teacher ..half the class was home sick...with the virus

Scientists See Signs of Lasting Immunity to Covid-19, Even After Mild Infections New research indicates that human immune system cells are storing information about the coronavirus so they can fight it off again. phttps://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/16/health/coronavirus-immunity-antibodies.html]

Your Coronavirus Test Is Positive. Maybe It Shouldn’t Be. The usual diagnostic tests may simply be too sensitive and too slow to contain the spread of the virus. The standard tests are diagnosing huge numbers of people who may be carrying relatively insignificant amounts of the virus. Most of these people are not likely to be contagious, and identifying them may contribute to bottlenecks that prevent those who are contagious from being found in time.

Yes. They are no longer vulnerable and not a threat to anyone.

I might get the kind of blood test that can show you’ve had the bug sometime ago and never knew it, and then I will make copies of those test results, carry the copies in a pants pocket and quit masking up all the time.

Ron Paul is right, but the corrupt CDC won’t admit it. Immunity menas highly resistant, not “can’t get it, ever.” Look it up. Go ahead. I’ll wait.

Now, fir proof:

Latest estimates are 1 BILLION people in world have or already had it. Look it up. I’ll wait.

OK, the CDC and other Control Freak agencies are dying for us to not be immune. Right? Right. They’re looking far and wide dor a giant group of people who have had it twice, confirmed, with symptoms? Where are they???

If only 1% can get it twice, that is definitely an immune group, byt the actual definition above. “Highly Resistant” = 99% resistant? Sure. Any legit epidemiologist would certainly agree.

1% of 1 billion is 10,000,000 who will get it twice. Where are they???

Find 1,000,000. Can’t? OK,
Find 100,000. That’s 1 in 10,000—certainly an immune group. Happy to be part of that one, right? Can’t?

OK, find 100.
100 out of 1,000,000,000. Nope? Why?

Becase we’re friken IMMUNE!!!!

‘...those who had recovered or had been vaccinated (by lottery) could move freely in society by showing their bracelet. Others had to stay in lockdown’

that scenario, dystopian as it is, would be preferable to what I believe will happen; no one will be allowed to move freely about anymore without the blithering masks, because of the uncertainty of successful immunization...

in fact, I think the protection required will progress from the current masks to triple layered ones, and face shields will not be deemed sufficient without a mask...

How many million are claimed to have had Covid by now, not be dead nor still hospitalized and so survived it? Fraction of claimed, much less proven, repeat cases is miniscule, not a significant risk. Locking them down further harms the survivors , doesn’t protect the vulnerable, and shrinks the pool providing essential services increasing the vulnerable’s risk.
