I did not get the shots and do not regret it

Landroval is a highly educated ignoramus.
Patrece is just ignorant in all situations it seems.

I expect better from someone claiming to have an education in STEM, Landroval.
How is it that you've gone through the trouble of educating yourself, but also rejecting the ability to critically examine?

It would likely have been a let down if you had, if you were pondering some epic battle against a powerful illness

Especially with these seemingly weaker strains now

2020 unvaxxed covid was a joke, now I also seem to be immune. For shame, would be nice to get 10 days paid off work again for the price of 1-2 days of a mildly-annoying cough

Shut the fuck up, parrot. Im your worst fucking nightmare, a genius with nothing to gain and nothing to lose. Keep my name out of your fuckign mouth.

Insufficient length/severity of exposure, probably.
It's not complicated Trexller.

COVID is primarily spread through respiratory droplets when an infected person talks, coughs, or sneezes. If someone was not close enough to the infected person to come into contact with these droplets, they may not have been exposed to enough virus to become infected themselves.

Even if someone was exposed to the virus, it's possible that the viral load, (the amount of virus particles), they were exposed to was not high enough to cause an infection. This can happen if the infected person was in the early stages of the disease, or if they were asymptomatic.

Here, with this link you can see the following:

06.7% of Deaths were 0-49 ( 64,601 Dead) <--Where you are probably
17.5% of Deaths were 50-64 (169,000 Dead)
75.8% of Deaths were 65+ (732,587 Dead)

67.9% of Cases were 0-49 (49,660,174 Cases)
18.6% of Cases were 50-64 (18,164,908 Cases)
13.5% of Cases were 65+ (13,155,590 Cases)

Based on the given data, a rough estimate chance of dying of COVID for ages 0-49 is 0.13%.

That's ignoring any number of other factors known and unknown. Individual risks like preexisting health conditions, occupation, and location may increase or decrease the likelihood of death from COVID-19. You have to also factor in severe illness and long-term effects from COVID-19, not just Deaths.

Ignoring the effects on the individual, you have to acknowledge the problems large numbers of critically ill or sick people have on society as well. Obviously you've all heard about "Flattening the Curve" and that was purely to prevent the healthcare system from collapsing during moments when newly reported cases were jumping well over 100,000 per day. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...vid-cases.html


An intellectually honest person would weigh any COVID vaccination risks against data such as that and realize that no solution is absolutely perfect, but the vaccination rollout was the only MORAL and EVIDENCE BACKED option

Thanks Doc, but the bolded part is doing some really heavy lifting

I, like any rational adult should, recognized where my health markers were at and realized that I could easily beat covid. My personal risk of death is not 0.13%, it is likely much much lower than that

Which is why I beat it easily unvaxxed in a strain that killed tens of thousands. I was running laps around the park at midnight with covid because I was going stir-crazy from quarantine, and all I felt was slightly more tired but not even winded. Also lifting at home with it. Compared to whooping cough which I had in the past, it was a complete joke

At risk or vulnerable populations should get the vaxx IMO. That is likely not Trex, based on what I have heard of his lifestyle. But I’m not giving him medical advice either, to each their own

[DeadL]

Oh, obviously some people got COVID multiple times.

Removing duplicate infections of the same individual from the case count would decrease the total number of cases, and thus, increase the mortality rate for first time infections. I am speculating here, of course, though.

It's not just about you. It's about everyone else, too.

Everyone makes their own personal decision based on their perceived vulnerability. Personally, I think a lot of the deaths were people greatly (and tragically) overestimating how healthy they were. I read many many death stories (in detail) on Democrat sites laughing at the dead in the comments in ways that made me permanently lose faith in humanity. It was a lot of fat 55+ yr old smokers bragging about their immune systems on social media before dying. That’s what gave me that impression, personally

If we are talking the vaxx reducing risk of exposure to others, I dunno if I agree with that. Anyone with symptoms should test and quarantine if positive anyway, like I did. I’d personally rather encourage developing personal responsibility rather than taking experimental un-necessary drugs (if not vulnerable to severe symptoms) that may or may not reduce risk of transmissal to others due to symptom reduction

For all we know symptom reduction from the vaxx might cause an irresponsile person to continue to go out in the community spreading it without getting tested, while more serious unvaxxed symptoms would not. We can go round and round with hypotheticals, in ways the data I guarantee is not
