I never said it would. The outsized impact is on the trust the people put into institutions because they can see that institutions lie.
Your concern for my reputation is so very kind of you.
True.
Describe the types of credit you feel should be given that are not.
I already take an annual flu booster. Why does every six months violate a principle, and every year does not?
Statements by whom? I don't recall the CDC or similar authorities claiming there would be 100% protection against infection and transmission. When you make statements like this, it really lessens the risk to my reputation should I choose to say you are lying, and I know how concerned you are about my reputation.
So far, I haven't heard of any new variants on the horizon, and that is good news.
In the US, among the 46 states that report mortality by age, only 4 states have reported no child deaths.
Children and COVID-19: State-Level Data Report
The American Academy of Pediatrics and the Children’s Hospital Association are collaborating to collect and share all publicly available data from states on child COVID-19 cases.www.aap.org
Of course, there are other comorbidities as well.
What the hazard ratio in myocarditis following a vaccine versus following a covid19 infection?
Fair enough. I find your ignorance of child deaths in the US to be callous and uneducated. Further, I find your comparison of vaccine injuries to only people who get neither vaccine nor disease, as opposed to those who get the disease, to be bordering on antivax propaganda.
This would be as opposed to no cardiac issues with unvaccinated young men who acquire covid19?
To be clear, I don't see you as being an unreasonable person, just a bit of a contrarian.
No actually, Facts matter
If we were talking about the pre-delta and omicron Covid strain, yes. America was averaging 13,000 cases and 300 deaths in June, mostly from unvaccinated. Just to compare, those are better numbers than we had in March 2020 when the pandemic first began.

If you are checking to see if I will put Bannon in the same boat with Joe Biden and Stacey Abrams to condemn them all for casting doubt on elections, I do. I'll even go further and throw Trump himself in the condemn boat. I'm hoping the Democrats don't completely screw this up like they've bungled absolutely everything else lately to get someone, anyone convicted on a sedition charge and cite some tenuous link to being motivated by Trump so that he is barred from running for reelection due to Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. Joe Biden, Stacey Abrams, Steve Bannon and Donald Trump can all just go away as far as I'm concerned.Heeding Steve Bannon’s Call, Election Deniers Organize to Seize Control of the GOP — and Reshape America’s Elections
The stolen election myth inspired thousands of Trump supporters to take over the Republican Party at the local level, exerting more partisan influence on how elections are run.
I find the tag line combined with the underline on this article to be a hilarious mismatch: Republicans attempt to seize absolute control over the process by.....by.....requesting that an independent party be allowed double check the count of a past election.Republican Lawmakers Seek New Powers Over Elections • Stateline
This is part three of Stateline’s 2022 State of the States series. The pervasive myths of a stolen 2020 presidential election and widespread voter fraud are still dominant in many state legislatures, as Republican policymakers call for more investigations and reshape election administration in a...
Hit me up. I know a guy.
Different states are handling it differently. I have an ongoing prescription for percocet, but every 3 months I have to fill out a questionnaire and my doctor has to have me get a 2nd opinion from a non-affiliated dr that it is medically necessary. As soon as he mentioned that there may be a surgical option to help with my pain they came down on my prescription and it was halted for 2 months. I still haven't had my MRI so they got another dr to confirm I needed it and resumed my prescription. It makes me and my dr feel like criminals, and for many dr's if they prescribe too much to too many people they can even get their license suspended pending state review of the cases. It is nuts. I get that there is an opioid crisis in America, but it really can affect those of us who need it very negatively. Not sure what the answer is because in many cases low-level narcotics are a better option for pain control than most anything else.
Looking at the hazard ratios in the CDC link, it's pretty clear you still get something like a 25% boost in the ratio if you are vaccinated after having covid19. That's not negligible.
I'm mandated to take flu shots. In the US, you can get tested regularly instead of getting a vaccine in almost all cases, and free testing sites are wide-spread.
Yes, the claims have shifted as the vaccine has shifted, no arguments there.
I am *very* tired of seeing people throw around "comorbidity" as if it means the death doesn't matter or was inevitable. My age and sex are both comorbidities for the covid, even though I'll probably live another 30 years (based on family history) and have no intention of changing the latter. If you almost certainly would have been alive but for covid19, you were killed by covid19.
All vaccines (and all prophylactic medicines) carry a risk of harm. I have a starting point that you have to look at the overall risk for both the patient (and the community, when talking about communicable diseases).
I certainly learn more from you than from most posters I have disagreements with, and I am very appreciative for that.
Better yet, sniff some glue.

Alaska has about 2% the population density of Estonia. Minnesota is a probably better comparison in both density and climate.IMHO, again a good article from a Dr Edward Laane (use built in translation in browser).
How is the general situation in Alaska (as probably the closest in climate wise and population density to Estonia than any other state)? For example, hospitals and whether schools operate normally or not?Edward Laane ⟩ Nakatumisnumbrid on suured, kuid ei koorma enam haiglaid
Kuressaare haigla ravijuht Edward Laane on jätkuvalt seisukohal, et koroonat tuleb käsitleda endeemilise haigusena ja suured päevased nakatumisnumbrid ei tähenda enam ohtu meditsiinisüsteemile.
Google translate is pretty amazing. Sometimes it gets it really wrong though. lolIMHO, again a good article from a Dr Edward Laane (use built in translation in browser).

the sentence: Nii nagu me haigestume igal aastal nohusse, jääme tõenäoliselt ka koroonasse. Ja kui see väljendub nohus või kurguvalus, siis tuleb inimkonnal sellega leppida means: Like we get runny nose every year, we are also going to get some kind of coronavirus. And if the experience of the end user is runny nose or sore throat, then we just have to accept it.
