TRUMP at Turning Point:

Every member of the military kicked out over the vaccine will be reinstated with an apology and back pay

— Jack Posobiec 🇺🇸 (@JackPosobiec) July 24, 2022

Trump trying to buy votes as usual

---

No..that's just common sense.

---

Once you allow the average GI Joe to decide which orders they will obey and there's no penalty for it, you're starting the military down a very slippery slope.

---

Unfortunately for those in the military now, they will have to comply or suffer the consequences. But the military knows this isn't helping their cause in the long term. They are facing a recruiting nightmare right now.

Sucks that soldiers need to follow orders nowadays, in order to achieve a greater good. What's this nation coming to?!?

But hey, Amazon's hiring!

---

Well the Vax doesn't work so...they were right not to. People that took 2 shots had their immune systems drop lower than an unvaxxed person. Sounds like thats bad.

---

What does it mean for an immune system to "drop lower?"

Is that a medical term?

---

your ability to keep getting covid is becoming higher than people who don't take the vax.

What's your source on that?

New England Journal of Medicine: Unvaccinated COVID Patients Are Contagious for LESS Time Than those Vaxed or Boosted. https://t.co/NZzgreAFWh

— Raheem J. Kassam (@RaheemKassam) July 26, 2022

A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that people vaccinated against COVID-19 remained contagious with the virus for a longer period of time than their unvaccinated counterparts.

The disparity in contagiousness was particularly pronounced between the unvaccinated and individuals who did not receive a booster shot.

Maybe he just realized people who die from COVID are less likely to get COVID a second time. How many of the 1M Americans dead from COVID went on to get it again?

Zero went on to get covid again. 25,000, however, did vote for Biden post mortem.

COVID-19 outbreaks have hit Los Angeles International Airport with at least 400 confirmed cases among Transportation Security Administration staff and workers at American and Southwest airlines, according to county health officials.https://t.co/pbJT3ixQRf pic.twitter.com/MkQAMyEt7K

So, vaccines don't work or they were oversold as stopping infection as opposed to just reducing the odds of fatal symptoms?

This is why some of us here thought it was idiotic to say the unvaccinated in their state were preventing COVID from going away as if COVID were not a global pandemic. Infection and reinfection rate among vaccinated were showing early on after the first three month of the mass vaccination the falsehood of the vaccine being effective in stopping infection (which studies showed fairly early) while being highly effective in reducing hospitalization and death rate.

So, let's not get all fearmongering on increased cases but instead focus on death rate among those vaccinated and boosted. Either decide that vaccines are worthless and we should still focus on case rate or that what we should focus on is hospitalization rate beyond capacity and death rate for vaccinated per 100K (don't care about increase of 100% if it is going from 20 to 40, especially if people are dying at a greater percentage on other things).

It was a legitimate argument that vaccines could help stop (or at least significantly curb) infection for the original Alpha strain and maybe also for Delta. Omicron changed the game. It's clearly too transmissible to be stopped.

I agree that hospital capacity and death rates should be the measures now. Trying to stop all COVID infections is wildly impractical.

Yes, the situation is absurd. You can thank tRump for politicizing masks and social distancing. To millions of Americans it is considered a negative political act to wear a mask.

I wear a mask in public most of the time (even at work where it's still required when the community COVID level is high). I haven't had COVID yet.

Ph*ck their feelings.

Pair of new studies point to natural Covid origin


https://news.yahoo.com/pair-studies-point-natural-covid-213514366.html



"Have we disproven the lab leak theory? No, we have not. Will we ever be able to know? No," said co-author Kristian Anderson of The Scripps Research Institute.

"But I think what's really important here is that there are possible scenarios and they're plausible scenarios and it's really important to understand that possible does not mean equally likely."

this read like the CCP putting out a press release.

did you ever provide the quote from Birx about vaccines weakening immune response or whatever it is you claimed?

You've made so many ridiculous claims over the years that have turned out to be false. To your credit you occasionally do acknowledge when you've been duped by misinformation and I assume when you provide your quote from Birx you will acknowledge that you were wrong there as well.

Yes but the anti-vaxxers feel like it was a lab leak and will never acknowledge any other origin, no matter how well researched. They only like the 1% of studies with small sample sizes that confirm their biases.

---

Yes, but the pro-vaxxers feel like it was of natural original and will never acknowledge any other origin, no matter how well researched. They only like the old studies with small sample sizes that confirm their biases. Darsh! (Btw, neither your statement nor mine are actually true but you have great rhetoric!)

Oh look the board's least interesting contarian did his deed. It took you over a year to realize that Novavax wouldn't make a difference so we're all used to you being behind the curve. We can re-visit this once you finally catch up with the rest of us.

False statement. False statement. False statement. Nice trifecta. Keep up the good work inventing other people's thoughts and positions and then putting them down.

In a tragic turn of events on Sunday, a 27-year-old triathlete and resident doctor at McMaster Children's Hospital in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, collapsed while swimming. On Thursday, four days after the incident, she passed away.

Dr. Candace Nayman's death comes less than two weeks after the deaths of four other physicians. Dr. Candace was the fifth Greater Toronto Area (GTA) doctor to die in July.

---

Fake news.

"The hospital system for which the doctors worked called such claims 'simply not true.' Public information about the deaths indicates that two died from cancer. The third was 'seriously ill,' according to his office, though the exact cause of death hasn't been publicly reported.

An obituary for Segall, who died on July 17 at 49, said the otolaryngologist died after a 'ridiculously unfair and hard fought year-long battle with advanced lung cancer.'

Sawicki, meanwhile, died on July 19 and had stomach cancer, according to a GoFundMe page arranged by his wife, Iris, to raise money for a scholarship in his name for future medical students. Sawicki was a member of a surgical assisting team at Trillium, according to a hospital memorial notice provided to the AP.

McKenzie was a neurologist with the hospital system for nearly 40 years before he died on July 18, according to a similar notice also provided by Trillium to the AP. A voicemail for his office tells callers that McKenzie was 'seriously ill' prior to his death and that his office is permanently closed."

The rumour circulating on social media is simply not true. Their passings were not related to the COVID-19 vaccine.

We ask to please respect their families’ privacy during this difficult time.
