COVID-19 ... how we cope :)

[Bob Gillanders]

There's already studies that indicate better immunity amongst vaccinated people vs. recovered people. These studies are nationwide (not just anomalies such as the recent MA breakthrough).

From my understanding, given just how "novel" COVID-19 is, it's quite challenging for the human immune system to adapt/defend. Hence the bigger-picture worthiness of life-saving vaccines?!

I have to agree. The overwhelming body of evidence is in favour of vaccines. The USA is prime example, there is strong correlation between low vaccination rates and higher hospitalization rates. Yes, the effectiveness of vaccines declines some against variants and over time, but still delivers significant protection at this time. Booster shots will be required down the road.

Show me a study that shows vaccine immunity trumps natural immunity. We will get behind the data, where is it? The overwhelming evidence is the efficacy of the vaccine was a flash in the pan that quickly ended when the Delta variant became the dominant strain. Natural immunity protects against variants and is long lasting.

"Adverse events from drugs and vaccines are common, but underreported. Although 25% of ambulatory patients experience an adverse drug event, less than 0.3% of all adverse drug events and 1-13% of serious events are reported to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Likewise, fewer than 1% of vaccine adverse events are reported."

Wow, he is so witty, I have never met this guy either but I imagined he dons snotty private school clothing with a stupid little crest on his lapel and this is the picture I had of him in my mind. :-)

Hey Sid, I, uh, don't want anyone to get the wrong idea **BUT** that is one good looking sheep!!

Brian, it's hard to tell for sure but if you enlarge that picture as much as possible ....... well, I think that guy has the missing bone chip from Lincoln's skull stuck in his hair. This could be big!!

Meaningless statistic, most people were not vaccinated in Ontario. until late spring and it covers the period from December to now.
Here are several studies that she people with natural immunity far better off than vaccine immunity

Wow.... you are the future son of Spock, pictured just after ear surgery, and here now via time transport to change the world so that ChessTalk doesn't get too emotional!

Yes, but Pargat, now that we've all had this, um, wonderful .... opportunity (?) to see what Lucas looks like, don't you think that Lucas should edit the photo out of his post? After all, it is possible to have too much of a good thing. Right? Eh?

Those guys are making a beginner's mistake. You're supposed to wear the tall (knee-high) black rubber boots so that you can immobilize the sheep by sticking its back legs in the boots. At least ..... that's what I've been told by those crazy dudes at the Punkeydoodles Corners Chess Club LLC.
