You beat me to it.

Also I could ask at least the last 5 posters that made any type of claim to provide a link for that matter.

According to the NYT a few days ago, they are investigating what may be the FIRST death due to the vaccine.

Concerns of the effect of the Pfizer vaccine on oldsters in Norway here:

I note the headline specifically is "Norway Warns of Vaccination Risks for Sick Patients Over 80".

The second and third paragraphs of the article; emphasis is mine:


Norwegian officials said 23 people had died in the country a short time after receiving their first dose of the vaccine. Of those deaths, 13 have been autopsied, with the results suggesting that common side effects may have contributed to severe reactions in frail, elderly people, according to the Norwegian Medicines Agency.

“For those with the most severe frailty, even relatively mild vaccine side effects can have serious consequences,” the Norwegian Institute of Public Health said. “For those who have a very short remaining life span anyway, the benefit of the vaccine may be marginal or irrelevant.”
Given this problem hasn't been reported anywhere else in the world, only Norway, its worth asking if there is actually a problem with the vaccine OR if there's a problem with how it has been administered in Norway.

It didn't take long to see you misrepresented the article. You're credibility is approaching zero on this subject.

Uh, I posted a link and summarized it by saying it suggested that there were concerns in Norway about the effects of the Pfizer vaccine on the elderly.

Then said we need to vaccinate anyway.

That's it. A summary (mine), a link (to check it yourself), and an appeal to continue vaccinating despite risks to some outlier recipients (an opinion).

To me there's a pretty clear difference between "oldsters" as you describe them, and those with "severe frailty" as the Norwegians are saying.

As to your statement about the elderly dying from the vaccine, that was a concern of mine when the vaccine first came out. That the symptoms from the vaccine might be enough to kill some of the elderly, and then pausing vaccinations for safety concerns, on account of the elderly being the majority of initial vaccine recipients.

When my mother was weeks from death, in the nursing home, they recommended she not take the flu vaccination that fall. It or anything could kill her. She survived a couple more weeks, and died Oct 6 of “old age and infirmities.” If she had taken the flu vaccine, she likely would have died Sept. 15, right after getting the flu vaccine.

I honestly think he means well, but his public relations could use some work.

I would think he was trying to prevent a run on masks a la toilet paper. Let health care people get them. I don't call that a lie. Unlike others. And you know who. Look at his record, he's served many administrations with not a hint of BS. And most of his predictions have come to fruition, unfortunately. I can't find one self serving motive in any of his actions.

So intentionally misleading the American people is somehow not lying. Because it was for a good cause? WTF?

I’ll use that one from now on: “I lied for your own good. So technically it’s not a lie.” 🥱

Disclaimer: I’ve been following Fauci for 20 years and am still a fan. But he dropped the ball here.

100% this..."a rose by any other name".

We all need to own our words and actions, and the perceived righteousness of one's words and actions should not excuse the consequences thereof.

This doesn't make Fauci "bad"...but he made a deliberate, calculated CHOICE. We all need to objectively call the spade a spade and acknowledge how such an admission could have impacted impacted the trust given to public health messaging by government officials since late spring/early summer.

I am sorry for your loss also.

My mom passed away from "old age and infirmities" also. If she had contracted the coronavirus, she would be listed as a Corona virus statistic. Too bad she didn't....it would have been quicker and more humane than what she went thru.

The above perception is driven by the press saying people vaccinated can still spread it. They omit that they mean people who were exposed to covid just before or after getting the vaccine.

So if I get the vaccine I can get rid of the mask??? Yeah, didn’t think so... New Normal!!!

I am still hoping as more and more people get vaccinated, and the medical community gains more confidence in its efficacy, that there will be some type of identification program so those with immunity, can ditch the masks and go back to normal lives.

And considering that “having it” apparently gives at least the same amount of protection, that we get to ditch the mask as well.

On the bright side, masks are ending the Millennial Mumbling problem in the service industry.


Gotta' sound off like you have a pair to be heard through the face diaper.

As a crotchety oldster who's gone on way too many walkarounds without hearing protection (then huddled under the APU for warmth), I can appreciate a loud waiter/waitress/server/WTF-do-we-call-these-people(?), I kind of like it.

please expand on what you are talking about. In what way are we tripping into an Orwellian event? How are masks being used in a negative way?

30 Million Americans Vaccinated In 25 Days
 
No official update from the CDC but Bloomberg puts it at another 2.1 million over the last 2 days.

I guess it will be pretty easy for Biden to make his 100 million in 100 days. All he has to do is sit on his hands and let the plan continue to roll out.

My comment was to the "back to normal lives" portion of the post, not masks per se.

How much longer will the governors of states continue to execute their "emergency" powers? As an example, my state senator and assemblyman -- our elected representatives -- have zero input into the executive decrees dictating which businesses can operate, how they may operate, and at what capacity. It sure makes "governing" easy; the whole messiness of law making just kind of goes away.

To whom do citizens address grievances? Most lawmakers in my state do not even find out about new penalties, fines, or directives until after the media reports what his royal highness and his high court have decided what is best for us. I guess maybe after the W.H.O. declares the pandemic officially over. Maybe? But what about COVID-21 or COVID-22, or the new variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that, of course, requires extension of emergency powers?

These are rhetorical in nature, but Rahm Emmanuel's quote seemed to sum it up succinctly.

Rant over.

I read somewhere the actual goal is more like 2 million plus a day. Seems realistic seeing how man power and logistics are still ramping up...

The vax is to lesson the effect. Has nothing to do with the contagion R value.

Why You Should Still Wear A Mask And Avoid Crowds After Getting The COVID-19 Vaccine

... probably not in perpetuity, but definitely for a while. Good article.

BoilerUP 01-18-2021 02:42 AM

From today's New York Times: The Moring briefing:


Early in the pandemic, many health experts — in the U.S. and around the world — decided that the public could not be trusted to hear the truth about masks. Instead, the experts spread a misleading message, discouraging the use of masks.

Their motivation was mostly good. It sprung from a concern that people would rush to buy high-grade medical masks, leaving too few for doctors and nurses. The experts were also unsure how much ordinary masks would help.

But the message was still a mistake.

It confused people. (If masks weren’t effective, why did doctors and nurses need them?) It delayed the widespread use of masks (even though there was good reason to believe they could help). And it damaged the credibility of public health experts.

“When people feel as though they may not be getting the full truth from the authorities, snake-oil sellers and price gougers have an easier time,” the sociologist Zeynep Tufekci wrote early last year.

Now a version of the mask story is repeating itself — this time involving the vaccines. Once again, the experts don’t seem to trust the public to hear the full truth.

you should whine more about people asking you to wear a small piece of cloth over your mouth during a once in a hundred year pandemic. It’s not childish at all.

In all honesty, who gives a **** what the docs did. We are all adults. They had to stop the rush on equipment. If you’re going to pick a fight how about you come up with an alternative that would have avoided the mad rush. Otherwise you’re just whining to whine like a bunch of whiners

Agreed. This will be temporary.

I find it frustrating that we had the Spanish flu, which we all know was worse, and then returned to normal. But this one, no no no, click bait articles are the order of the day, 'this is the new normal'. Blah blah blah.

Give me a break. We WILL be going back to normal. Capitalism depends on it.

that's just three of the most powerful people on the planet heartily endorsing the Great Reset. Which, as I'm sure you know, is a plot designed to overthrow Capitalism, using the "pandemic" as an opportunity to do so.
