The argument "that I already had covid" is largely expecting us to trust their self diagnoses. It only seems to be coming from the extremist political type trying to make an anti-science argument. How did this hypothetical person verify that they had covid? Did they get the antibody test or are we basing this on a few sniffles? The testing for covid had a lot of false positives early on so how much weight are we throwing behind Bubba and his self diagnosed "China virus" to get the libs? I have flown with one of these "had it" types and he subsequently quarantined the whole crew after he got the real one.
Calling the delta variant far less dangerous when it has an R value optimistically around 5, is still mutating, and huge countries don't yet have widespread vaccine coverage... it discredits your whole post. We have the vaccine, data, and research to disprove most conspiracy claims and yet we arguing semantics with tin foil hatters. The sound bytes from Breitbart, OAN, fox are discredited with a simple two second search. This is going to continue to affect lives, children's education and their social development, and people will continue to get sick when we have the resources to stop this thing. Why are we coddling people that refuse a vaccine on pure hysterics from political extremists? I am absolutely baffled.
I guess you didn’t read the links to the actual studies but rather just commented on my intro with typical gaslighting, name-calling and political assigning. I don’t watch any news, much less what you attributed my POV to, and certainly did not use any news sound bites. But hey, rather than check out the given references and do a little research it’s a lot easier for you to defend your POV by saying opposing arguments are just “sound bites. There is no tin foil in Cleveland Clinic, Johns-Hopkins etc. But there is a lot of hot air in your MSM-based comments.
Almost all in our family had Covid. We tested positive, then negative and now test positive for the antibodies. I’m currently testing positive for antibodies through the Red Cross eight months later. I also know for a fact I’ve been exposed since and have not gotten re-infected.
The data I’ve posted in the past also points out that while there is a rise in the delta variant in vaccinated people, that has not happened in previously infected people. Efficacy from infection is 99.35%, higher than any vax, and historically, previous infections are effective against variants up to 80% different than the original infection. Research my post history for those links.
So instead of doing what you’re accusing me of, read the studies to get your info and lay off the CNN.
