you only need to be afraid if you’re unvaccinated or immunocompromised and/or the sole caretaker of another.

Every unvaccinated in a herd drops the herd immunity exponentially.

The sentiment I’m reading in editorials is, the ‘herd’ that is trying to protect the elderly and children, are fast losing interest in catering to or protecting the few able bodied folks who refuse to protect themselves, refuse to test, refuse to self-quarantine, impede herd immunity, and who contribute nothing to the herd’s safety. Especially if they happen to be the least vaccinated group, ie Republicans. Whose team are the antivaxers on, anyway, that they are gleefully handing power to the Dems on a silver platter of dead Republican bodies?

Nonsense.

I don’t worry about the unvaxxed. They pose no “threat.” We will all get Covid soon, whether unvaxxed or not.

How are conservatives who opposed vax mandates, regard the general "mask hysteria" as excessive (who, e.g., see no benefit to wearing masks outside), are in excellent physical condition and therefore have little personal fear re. Covid, or who view their naturally-acquired immunity (because they already had Covid) impeding herd immunity?

Last year, I laughed at the draconian measures, contracted Covid, and am now immune (i.e., am enjoying a higher level of immunity than any man-made vax could provide). How can you claim that I am impeding herd immunity?

On the contrary, by contracting Covid, I contributed to herd immunity.

What a steaming pile of bullcrap.

I am un-jabbed, never had the Kung-Flu/China Virus (no antibodies showing up), and have been around infected for the last 2 years.
IF I am going to get it, I would rather it happen so I can get it out of the way.

I’m immunocompromised and had the ‘VID in August. I got over it without hospitalization or a trip to the ER, with an O2 that remained at 95 and above. I felt like sh!t for a week, and then I was fine.

For many, especially the healthy, the whole thing is overblown. Even some of us who are “at risk” will be FINE. In my case, the shot did more damage than the virus. Far more.

And Omicron, being as virulent as it is, has already taken dominance over Delta in highly populated areas. We see it when hospitals are flooded with, “positives” who have merely sniffles and a sore throat, although PCR can’t differentiate between corona viruses - they just say you have one. Now is the time for healthy people to catch it so they can fight it off and have immunity.

Healthy people who are still scared should take the same things they’d take to treat a cold: Vitamin D, C, A, and Zinc. Basically, OTC Cold-Eeze.

My experience as an unvaccinated scientist is that the VAXXED are the sloppiest about shedding and spewing their infectious leavings.

Much of that is because many of them aren't that bright, and they rely on their biology parrots [aka "doctors"] to "inform" them on the dempanic.

[Skywise]

Oh please shaddup.

We have more cases NOW with 60% of the US population “vaccinated” than we did before the vaccines appeared in the US.

Use your head man.

[griffin]

What a crock of Bovine Excrement. That you Dr. Fauci?

[catnipman]

“Every unvaccinated in a herd drops the herd immunity exponentially.”

that makes perfect sense because the vaxxed can neither be infected nor infect others with covid... only unvaxxed can be infected and infect others with covid ... if EVERYONE was vaxxed no one would ever get sick with covid ever again ... just like the polio vaccine wiped out polio ...

[hardspunned]

Afraid of what if you’re unvaxxed? Being hassled to death by Karens and Fauci stooges?

[TTFlyer]

Buzz off, Karen.

— “Every unvaccinated in a herd drops the herd immunity exponentially.”

You asked me to define something for you. I did.

Your turn. Please define “exponentially,” and show your math in the case of this pandemic using some sourced data.

[onemiddleamerican]

Complete and utter bullshit.

Have a great day.

What a load of B.S.

Nobody needs to be afraid, unless they believe the manipulative crap spewed forth from that rectangular thing in their dens.
