Falcons say they're first NFL team to reach 100% COVID-19 vaccination rate among players

The NFL's COVID-19 vaccine incentives and disincentives appear to be working in Atlanta and around the league.

Also from the article it says that 91.7% of players in the NFL are vaccinated.

Ole Miss college football team is also 100% vaccinated. The WNBA is 99% vaccinated.

Damn. Now Bill Gates, George Soros, and Fauci will be able to control the brains of Ole Miss and the WNBA. Things are about to go crazy now.
 
My best friend is a nurse in northern Utah. She went to part-time in June. Didn't last long as she's now having to work more than when she was full-time. The hospitals are a mess, and she's so frustrated with the unvaccinated who are making all of our lives harder.

I've been quite ill the past 6 weeks with flare-ups of my heart and lung issues. But in reading lefty's post and the ones following, now I'm wondering if I've had a very mild breakthrough case as well as I've had a persistent sore throat and sneezing. My oxygen levels are always around 91-93, but they haven't changed (they don't put you on oxygen until you are below 90 these days). Then again, I've been on weird meds that have probably caused my not being able to sleep and such. Guess it doesn't matter as I haven't been going anywhere (joys of working from home).

Anyway, hope you all recover and the rest of us stay safe.

My sister in law is a nurse in Utah county. She said she’s never been busier, the hospital has never been so full, and sadly she said that the morale has ever been lower. She’s not one to discuss politics or disparage the Mormon church, but she has recently. She’s fed up with Republicans. She’s tired of the conspiracies. And she’s really frustrated with fellow mormons who ignore the health recommendations of church leaders. I’ve never heard her be so blunt as the last two weeks.

I hope you take care of yourself. Do you know if you can get tested for covid? It would be Interesting to see if you had a mild breakthrough case.

I work in education and masks are merely recommended where I’m at. I wear a mask in large groups. Sadly, I’m just waiting for the oncoming locomotive to mow me down again. Living in a red state can really suck. I fully expect to have covid again this fall due to our pathetic vaccination numbers. But who needs a vaccine when one has “the spirit?” /s

10000% proof the vaccine is ineffective at everything besides helping with severity. You two get your booster shot that proves my point? You literally said you are going to get covid again. You are literally admitting the vaccine is not preventing the spread. In that regard the vaccine is not beating the virus, or it's not even trying to.

You all want to bully everyone but in the sane sentence admit the ineffectiveness of the vaccine. You can't be this ignorant, right? Better get your 3rd shot in months......................

Personally I just want to thank @The Thriller for reassuring me why I don't need the shot. I was pretty close to but his post confirmed why it's pointless. He wears a mask, he's vaccinated and he promises that he will get the virus and it will be severe, a locomotive to be exact.. I'm not vaccinated nor wear a mask but I've had covid and I may get the virus again if my natural immunity doesn't work. The only, ONLY, difference is that Thriller has like a .00001% chance of dying while I have like a .0001% chance of dying.

I'll take my freedom and very very very low chance of dying. Enjoy your booster. Thanks for admitting I'll get the virus even if I do vaccinate or wear a mask.

Take care of yourself, JG.
 
I see a lot of misinformation out there on actual mortality rates, but globally, it's closer to 2%.

That's at a high-level obviously as this will vary depending on your age group, pre-existing conditions, where you live, etc. that can change your specific mortality rate, but this is the confirmed number. The true number will obviously be a bit lower as many will have Covid and not report it, were asymptomatic, do at home tests, etc.

ourworldindata.org

Cumulative confirmed COVID-19 cases and deaths

Limited testing and challenges in the attribution of cause of death mean the confirmed case and death counts may not reflect the true counts.
ourworldindata.org ourworldindata.org

The last 18 months have been some weird blurb in our lives - I somehow remember everything and yet nothing at all. It all runs together in one weird flowing picture of why humans are imperfect beings and will always be.
