Also it appears possible or likely that significant mutations only occur in very rare patients who have extended covid due to immune issues... that's good because it means that the source is easy to identify and rare enough to largely control.

Immune suppressed people are not “very rare,” even in the US where 1.2 million people are living with HIV

https://www.hiv.gov/hiv-basics/overv...nds/statistics

and even more are on chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immune suppressed post organ transplantation and on high dose corticosteroids for a variety of other medical conditions.

Far less in Africa where some countries have 20% of the population living with HIV.

https://www.hiv.gov/hiv-basics/overv...bal-statistics

and that was before COVID interrupted international HIV detection and suppression programs.



Worst case it will settle out to annual boosters, possibly modified for any variants (just like the flu).

Possibly. But as of right now, no vaccine out there is known to be effective at stopping the spread for longer than about six or seven months. And even if a new vaccine were available today, it would be at least a year before we could TELL it was effective for a year. Yeah, we coukd look at neutralizing antibody levels and try to extrapolate, but that’s always dicey…


There is no "long-term effect" for a discrete biological event. It's not cumulative, it does it's thing and is gone and the immune response then starts to decline... if it didn't wrong within days or a couple weeks, it's not going to. That's just how the biology works.
And yet we are hoping that the long term effects will be, that we can prime the immune system and trigger an amnestic response that can at least provide longer term protection against hospitalization and death.

One could opine that in their hospitalized state, they are unhealthy.

Maybe, but BMI is correlated to viral load, and spread rate. It's very doubtful that obese people make neutralizing antibodies with the vaccine, since they don't with the actual virus.

no where in that article is a source that confirms the government officially stated that the vaccine would last “many years”. Please provide a direct quote from a government derived press release or official documentation…………or stop with the propaganda.

again not saying it isn’t possible

I fear there is a lot of people on this site that say things as if they are true because they really want them to be.

You can go further back to when she started.

Sharyl is the real deal. I trust her reporting, always have even when she was at CBS. She is thorough, fair, truthful and unbiased in her reporting. Just the facts with her.

There are serious issues and side effects associated with the shots. To ignore that fact is disingenuous.

Mandating them given the known adverse affects is pure insanity.

It’s amazing how aggressive the vaxxed are getting now that the truth is coming out. We’ll see. I’ve already had Covid and will match my natural immunity against any vaxxed person. Go luck and keep getting that jab!

Demonstrations and unrest

In the Netherlands, a second night of riots broke out on Saturday in several towns and cities.

Hooded rioters set fire to bicycles in The Hague, as riot police used horses, dogs and batons to chase the crowds away. Officials announced an emergency order in the city, and at least seven people were arrested.

Police said a rock was thrown through the window of an ambulance carrying a patient. Officers in the city tweeted that five police officers were injured, with one taken away by ambulance with a knee injury.

Elsewhere in the country, two top-flight football matches were briefly halted after supporters broke into the grounds and ran on to the pitch. Fans are currently banned from stadiums because of new coronavirus rules.

The unrest followed a night of riots in Rotterdam condemned by the city's mayor as "an orgy of violence". Police fired warning shots and direct shots "because the situation was life-threatening", a police spokesperson told Reuters.

At least three demonstrators are receiving hospital treatment for gunshot wounds, officers said. Authorities have launched an investigation.

The Netherlands imposed a three-week partial lockdown last weekend after recording a record spike in Covid cases. Bars and restaurants must close at 20:00, and crowds are banned at sports events.Tens of thousands of people protested in Austria's capital, Vienna, after the government announced a new national lockdown and plans to make jabs compulsory in February 2022. It is the first European country to make vaccination a legal requirement.

Brandishing national flags and banners reading "Freedom", protesters shouted "Resistance!" and booed the police.

The country will enter a 20-day nationwide lockdown from Monday, shutting all but essential shops and ordering people to work from home.

The mandatory vaccinations have been described as a "double-edged sword" by Andrea Ammon, director for the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control.

She told the BBC's Andrew Marr that the strict rules could make people who were still doubting the vaccine - but not fully rejecting it - completely turn away from it.

In Croatia, thousands marched in the capital, Zagreb, to show their anger at mandatory vaccinations for public sector workers, while in Italy, a few thousand protesters gathered at the ancient Circus Maximus chariot-racing ground in Rome to oppose "Green Pass" certificates required at workplaces, venues and on public transport.

For all the “Country X has Covid lockdown protests!!!” stories:

A particularly useful axiom to remember is “all politics are local”.

Trying to understand political action in a place like Rotterdam or Italy would be like trying to explain all the nuances of some recent high profile criminal cases to a foreigner. Pointless, really.

I’d use caution believing any source that slaps a charged headline and a picture of a crowd in a foreign country that ties it up nice and neatly.

(For those who fly to Amsterdam, you’ve a pretty good idea of some tiny part of the subtext the Rotterdam articles aren’t discussing. Infinitely more complex than “Covid lockdowns “).

Not saying the BBC doesn’t have any biases, but they tend to separate their opinions from the news better than most of the US media.

And the “all politics is local” meme is as simplistic as any other.

​​​​​​Sharyl, by definition, is anti-vaccine and has been for at least a decade. I don’t think she’d argue with that label as she’s basically in lock step with people like RFK jr. This is a 2019 op ed she wrote for The Hill suggesting vaccines cause autism in kids:

Well, what they said was true before Delta. I assume those sound bites were all before mid-summer.

The RBD is conserved across variants, so far, the Delta difference is simply increased binding probability. The vaccines failed because the antibody levels are both not high enough, and of short duration. Realistically, where Covid is going, it will require many many shots per year to keep antibody levels, which migrate to the respiratory system, high enough for neutralization.

When you die from COVID, wouldn't you be in a hospital where they would do such tests? There may be a few isolated cases where this isn't true but the vast majority are tested.

Actually, no they don't. Covid statistics are horrendous, you can't draw any conclusions from them.

You already posted the link, read the methodology. The state compares death
certificates to vaccine databases. The system assumes any positive pcr test within 60 days of death is unvaccinated, unless linked to a vaccination record. If a fully vaccinated death is found, it is then investigated for truth using hospital records. https://ourworldindata.org/covid-deaths-by-vaccination

I see you are mostly correct. The underlying data is from the CDC. According to them:


"Vaccination status: A fully vaccinated person had SARS-CoV-2 RNA or antigen detected on a respiratory specimen collected ≥14 days after completing the primary series of an FDA-authorized or approved COVID-19 vaccine. An unvaccinated person had SARS-CoV-2 RNA or antigen detected on a respiratory specimen and has not been verified to have received COVID-19 vaccine. Excluded were partially vaccinated people who received at least one FDA-authorized vaccine dose but did not complete a primary series ≥14 days before collection of a specimen where SARS-CoV-2 RNA or antigen was detected.

Deaths: A COVID-19–associated death occurred in a person with a documented COVID-19 diagnosis who died; health department staff reviewed to make a determination using vital records, public health investigation, or other data sources. Rates of COVID-19 deaths by vaccination status are reported based on when the patient was tested for COVID-19, not the date they died. Deaths usually occur up to 30 days after COVID-19 diagnosis."

Seems pretty methodical to me. I think you're correct that there can be variations in the data but not enough to change the outcome. However, I can find no better data.

We can agree to disagree, the study is significantly biased towards the vaccine. Also, there is a data lag that will probably last years, which means that data will be heavily revised in the future. The other problem is that Covid is only a serious disease in people with a dysfunctional immune system, the vaccine does nothing to address this. It reeks of statistical manipulation, time will tell.
