It also rained that long weekend in P-Town, indoor venues were more crowded as a result. Most were indeed vaccinated, and probably feeling safe. P-Town is one of the biggest summer party towns in the Northeast. It’s been a destination for the LGBTQ community for decades…There is a reason the Provincetown, Massachusetts outbreak happened and why it is an outlier. Media is extremely reluctant to provide the important detail. I’m not even comfortable bringing it up for how it can be misconstrued because I sincerely don’t intend anything negative toward those who would attend this type of party.
The vaccines do not have 100% efficacy. They help your immune system but they aren’t magic. If you are indoors, packed together like sardines, dancing so as to get you breathing harder while face to face with people you don’t know during a pandemic spike, you’re asking a lot from the vaccine. This is the Tea Dance at the Boatslip in Provincetown where the outbreak happened:
One interesting thing I found in the data from the outbreak was that those who received the J&J vaccine were over represented in breakthrough cases. In the area only 7% of the population had received the J&J vaccine, but 14% of the breakthrough cases where J&J vaccine recipients. I think one of the important takeaways here is that most party goers were vaccinated and zero of them died. Even in doing practically everything to spread COVID, the vaccines still had a 100% rate of keeping people from dying. That doesn't shake my confidence in the vaccines at all. It makes me feel pretty good about it, but I would push people toward the mRNA vaccines.
Since it’s not that far from where I live, (although still a few hours this time of year, given the insane Cape Cod summer traffic, I won’t go near the Cape in the summer, it can take 2 hours to get over the Bourne Bridge just to get onto the Cape), I picked up on the news regarding P-Town early. I read articles that did not shy away from this at all. It’s possible some did not mention it simply because P-Town as a year round destination for the LGBTQ community is pretty well known.
Booster time!!! Again... Then again...then again...then again.Delta Plus baby!

We can only hope that our scientists and medical experts can continue to come up with things to help keep us healthy.
Our "health professionals" are one of the leading causes of death in America. These health professionals charge a person hundreds of dollars for 15 minutes of work. These health professionals charge astronomical rates for a life saving pill or shot that cost pennies. How many people have Johnson and Johnson, pzifer, moderns killed with astronomical prices for very basic drugs like insulin?
Again, you can go ahead and criticize our best and brightest minds for creating the vaccines.Our "health professionals" are one of the leading causes of death in America.

The third-leading cause of death in US most doctors don't want you to know about
More than 250,000 people in the US die every year because of medical mistakes, making it the third-leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer.www.google.com
I hate to say it but I actually agree with Qhiller on something but I'm not sure socialized medicine is the answer.
It's not a joke... It's quite head scratching that people don't question our "medical professionals" more and question why our system is so ****ed up.
There are definitely marvels in medicine and science no doubt but I'll continue to criticize while recognizing that the medical field is far from perfect (check the first American Polio Vaccine) and you can continue to get your third shot in a year because of the first two lacking future effectiveness. My own immune system can do that.
We agree that the medical field isn't perfect. Of course you didn't bring up the medical field in the first post of yours I quoted so that isn't what I was discussing. You brought up the booster shot of the vaccine so thats what I was discussing. Im glad a booster shot will be available to continue to help keep me healthy.
I wish those people weren't crossing the border.
Amen
Still waiting for that shunning. All talk.

Truly one of our nation’s leading intellectuals. I hope she’s elected president someday. In a mass democracy like ours, the cream rises to the top…
Attendees at Republican event cheered Alabama's low COVID vaccination rate
Alabama has the lowest percentage of fully COVID-19 vaccinated residents in the nation. Cases and hospitalizations are surging.
Yup. In the democracy so many people claim they want, what rises to the top are those able to best work a room. In that clip, MTG was working the room. If you've seen Trump rallies you know that guy knows how to work a room. If you've seen old videos of Hitler then you've seen how good he was at working a room. In our constitutional republic we have (had?) some built in safeguards to prevent the Hitlers. I will keep warning of the dangers of democracy even though I know I get demonized for it and will ultimately lose as a Hitler/Mao/Mussolini/Stalin rides a populist wave into office, but I hope to hold it off as long as possible. Keep the Electoral College in place.
You're conflating a number of issues here. The amount of money physicians accrue is 15% of healthcare expenditures. The 15 minutes of work you're seeing is just the work you're seeing. Only about 1/3 of the time that a physician spends on a patient is actually with the patient. Often much less. In any case, it's not necessarily the time you're paying for but the experience. A good surgeon can do a cholecystectomy in under 10 minutes. Is it the time you want to be paying for?Our "health professionals" are one of the leading causes of death in America.
