No doubt in my mind that genetics plays a big role in this. Some people have more resistance to the flu than others including Covid. I like to think I am increasing my chances of not getting Covid by taking Zinc, vitamin D, C and a few other items along with a baby aspirin. I have Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine the Z-pack on standby and a clinic I can go to to get the monoclonal anti-body shot if I should come down with the symptoms.

Same plan as I, though I don’t have the Z-pack in the house and no HCQ… would have to go to doc in the box to get the Z-pack

Jab-It and Costello ("Who's On First," for the COVID Age) - Granite Grok

Bud: ‘You can’t come in here!’

Lou: ‘Why not?’

Bud: ‘Well because you’re unvaccinated.’

Lou: ‘But I’m not sick.’

Bud: ‘It doesn’t matter.’

Lou: ‘Well, why does that guy get to go in?’

Bud: ‘Because he’s vaccinated.’

Lou: ‘But he’s sick!’

Bud: ‘It’s alright. Everyone in here is vaccinated.’

Lou: ‘Wait a minute. Are you saying everyone in there is vaccinated?’

Bud: ‘Yes.’

Lou: ‘So then why can’t I go in there if everyone is vaccinated?’

Bud: ‘Because you’ll make them sick.’

Lou: ‘How will I make them sick if I’m NOT sick and they’re vaccinated.’

Bud: ‘Because you’re unvaccinated.’

Lou: ‘But they’re vaccinated.’

Bud: ‘But they can still get sick.’

Lou: ‘So what the heck does the vaccine do?’

Bud: ‘It vaccinates.’

Lou: ‘So vaccinated people can’t spread covid?’

Bud: ‘Oh no. They can spread covid just as easily as an unvaccinated person.’

Lou: ‘I don’t even know what I’m saying anymore. Look. I’m not sick.

Bud: ‘Ok.’

Lou: ‘And the guy you let in IS sick.’

Bud: ‘That’s right.’

Lou: ‘And everybody in there can still get sick even though they’re vaccinated.’

Bud: ‘Certainly.’

Lou: ‘So why can’t I go in again?’

Bud: ‘Because you’re unvaccinated.’

Lou: ‘I’m not asking who’s vaccinated or not!’

Bud: ‘I’m just telling you how it is.’

Lou: ‘Nevermind. I’ll just put on my mask.’

Bud: ‘That’s fine.’

Lou: ‘Now I can go in?’

Bud: ‘Absolutely not?’

Lou: ‘But I have a mask!’

Bud: ‘Doesn’t matter.’

Lou: ‘I was able to come in here yesterday with a mask.’

Bud: ‘I know.’

Lou: So why can’t I come in here today with a mask? ….If you say ‘because I’m unvaccinated’ again, I’ll break your arm.’

Bud: ‘Take it easy buddy.’

Lou: ‘So the mask is no good anymore.’

Bud: ‘No, it’s still good.’

Lou: ‘But I can’t come in?’

Bud: ‘Correct.’

Lou: ‘Why not?’

Bud: ‘Because you’re unvaccinated.’

Lou: ‘But the mask prevents the germs from getting out.’

Bud: ‘Yes, but people can still catch your germs.’

Lou: ‘But they’re all vaccinated.’

Bud: ‘Yes, but they can still get sick.’

Lou: ‘But I’m not sick!!’

Bud: ‘You can still get them sick.’

Lou: ‘So then masks don’t work!’

Bud: ‘Masks work quite well.’

Lou: ‘So how in the heck can I get vaccinated people sick if I’m not sick and masks work?’

Bud: ‘Third base.’

So, yesterday's biggest news was the court putting a stop to Biden and OSHA's so-called 'mandate'. All day yesterday, shills on 8kun were spamming other huge conspiracy stories about a few completely non-relevant events, just to keep the focus AWAY FROM the court's decision. That decision was HUGE NEWS, and the media didn't report it. They won't report it. They'll pretend the mandate is still a thing.

It's not a law. It's not even anywhere close to being a law. And it's blatantly unconstitutional. Bet you won't hear ANY discussion from the MSM talking heads about that.

The totals number of alleged Covid-19 deaths by vaccination status between October 4th and October 31st 2021 as confirmed by table 4 of the UKHSA report were as follows –
  • Not-vaccinated population = 538 deaths
  • Partly vaccinated population = 85 deaths
  • Fully vaccinated population = 2447 deaths
This means the vaccinated population accounted for 83% of Covid-19 deaths between October 4th and October 31st, whilst the not-vaccinated accounted for just 17%.

Serious questions on the effectiveness of the jabs need to be answered due to the fact Covid-19 hospitalisations and deaths are rising among the fully vaccinated population by the week whilst hospitalisations and deaths among the not-vaccinated population continue to decline.
The thing that scares me is the fact that so many are now vaccinated thinking the Jab is protecting them, they should not let their guard down, that is those at high risk...

In addition, fully vaccinated American citizens or legal permanent residents arriving by sea or air will need to show proof of a negative coronavirus test taken within three days of traveling. Those who are unvaccinated will need to test negative within one day of traveling. Those crossing the land border from Canada or Mexico will not have a testing requirement.

So travel to mexico and then border to US is the way to go.

That land border crossing sounds like a crisis waiting to happen :facepalm: Testing requirements should be in place everywhere there is a border and that too accurate testing

Its a pretty small sample pool (UK versus the USA and that too variation in genetics), I would still opt for the booster jab, but do so under my doctor's approval after my next blood report of course :rofl:

The thing that scares me is the fact that so many are now vaccinated thinking the Jab is protecting them, they should not let their guard down, that is those at high risk...

Wait...so is the pandemic finally over?

Or are we just opening another can of worms?

Or is the pandemic just at its infancy?

Interesting read;

Delta variant: Vaccines protect from severe disease but do not stop all transmission

  • The COVID-19 vaccine effectively prevents severe illness and death.
  • The Delta (B.1.617.2) variant of SARS-CoV-2 is spreading globally in populations with high vaccination rates.
  • 1 in 4 fully vaccinated people who have exposure to the Delta variant in the home are likely to get the infection.
  • The peak viral load of the Delta virus does not differ between fully vaccinated and nonvaccinated individuals.
  • The elimination of the Delta strain of the virus takes place more quickly in vaccinated individuals.

Excerpt;

Interestingly, the study found vaccination status to have no effect on the maximum amount of the SARS-CoV-2 Delta virus present, known as the peak viral load. Other studies have found similar viral loads in nasal swabs, irrespective of vaccine status.

“These similar peak viral loads in vaccine breakthrough infections may explain why infected vaccinated people were just as likely to pass on infection as infected unvaccinated people,” says Prof. Peter Openshaw, professor of experimental medicine at Imperial College London.
