As of the Week Before Thanksgiving, Just 1 in 10 Californians Have Received an Updated COVID Vaccine

Going into the fifth year of post-COVID Thanksgiving festivities, levels of the virus are low statewide

While the chance of a heated political discussion at your Thanksgiving table might be extra high this year, the chance of getting COVID at your family gathering is lower than it has been in the past several years.

That’s even with millions of Californians expected to travel for the holiday.

“The bottom line is that we’re in a very, very good place at this moment,” said Dr. John Swartzberg, clinical professor emeritus of infectious diseases and vaccinology at UC Berkeley.

Going into the fifth year of post-COVID Thanksgiving festivities, levels of the virus are low statewide, and around most of the country. Santa Clara County’s wastewater testing, which measures levels of the virus in local sewer sheds, shows the virus at low levels across the county.

Data from California’s public health department shows “RSV and influenza activity are low but increasing” and “COVID-19 is currently low in California,” according to data through November 16.

As of this fall, California public health officials publish data on COVID, along with flu and RSV, in weekly respiratory virus updates. The update from the week before Thanksgiving shows the test positivity rates for influenza and RSV have started to rise, while COVID test positivity, hospitalizations and deaths remain low.

“We went through a really late summer wave, and that really got a lot of Americans immunized,” Swartzberg noted,

There is hope for 9 in ten Commiefornians.
They have reached the first step in realizing that our ‘gubmit’ is composed of ‘eddikated’ fools that have not created anything useful, cannot manage anything useful, and have no morals. I, as others, used to believe in these contemptible beings. No longer. There are many great people out there. Few are in the gubmit. Your run of the mill policeman has done far more for those with whom he/she deals than the vast majority of those ‘things’ in D.C. or state capitols.

Ha....I never got the first death jab. In fact, not one person in my family stuck themselves with that needle.

The shot hounds might wish to read this latest warning unless they are pining to be transformed into something other than Christ’s creation.

This year’s price is supposedly the lowest price in 40 years ... after adjusting for inflation. If general inflation went up 20%, turkey went up 10% and wages went up 5%, then the dinner price would be relatively good, and one’s finances relatively bad.

“Welcome to our home for Thanksgiving dinner, relatives!”

“Thank you! By the way, have you received your booster shots?”

“Get the hell out!”

The lead guitarist in our garage band just got his 7th shot. We’re all over the age of 70 so most of the band has gotten the first 3 shots. Hubby and I are the lone holdouts and we haven’t been sick in 2 yrs, while the rest of them have had the usual number of colds per yr.

The state might turn red if enough of them are removed.

So, will they try to line us all up and force it on us? They would if they could.

I hope she does run for governor, she'll be beaten like the communist rat she is and finished off for good.

One problem. The winner will also be a democrat unless we come up with a good enough primary candidate to come up second. Fox is pushing Steve Hilton, a smarter Herschel Walker celebrity.

Will democrats REALLY nominate Kamala after what happened? Methinks Trump’s billionaire gay buddy from Silicon Valley would be ideal.

NIH Chief Admits COVID Global Health Initiatives Were “Completely Made Up;” Reveals COVID Vaccines Don’t “Stop You From Getting COVID”

Raja Cholan, Chief of the Health Data Standards Branch at the U.S. National Library of Medicine for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has raised eyebrows with his candid remarks on COVID vaccines, global health strategies, and their broader implications.

Cholan admitted he has chosen not to receive the latest COVID vaccine boosters, citing mixed evidence of their efficacy: “I haven’t gotten the latest COVID shots, and I’m not going to… there’s mixed evidence about if it really does anything.” He also expressed concerns over the risks the vaccine poses to younger individuals, saying, “For people that are 30 or under, it really increases your risk for heart conditions. The data does show that… I’m close enough to 30 to where I don’t want to have a heart attack.”

Cholan further questioned the vaccines’ effectiveness, stating, “I don’t even know if these vaccines stop you from getting COVID. They don’t.”
