When health experts talk about the remarkable efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, they typically point to their ability to prevent severe disease and death. Fully vaccinated people can still get “breakthrough” infections from the virus that causes COVID-19—but compared to an unvaccinated person, they’re more than 10 times less likely to be hospitalized or die from their illness, according to (CDC) research.
Officials often point to these impressive figures as evidence that we can tame COVID-19 into a mostly mild illness that behaves like a routine cold or flu, and thus with which we can coexist. After all, the vaccines were not designed to quash viral spread entirely; they were designed to defang the virus by preventing its worst outcomes.
But people like April Zaleski know COVID-19’s worst outcomes aren’t limited to severe disease and death, even for the fully vaccinated. Zaleski, a 32-year-old from Idaho, caught COVID-19 in July 2021 after being vaccinated in January. She recovered after a couple weeks and thought the worst was behind her. But then her fatigue came back with force, along with brain fog, shortness of breath, vertigo and a skyrocketing heart rate. She began to suspect she had Long COVID, the name adopted by people who suffer symptoms long after their initial infection.
...
Indeed, the vast majority of vaccinated people who catch COVID-19 will not develop Long COVID, just as they will not die or go to the hospital; many won’t even have symptoms or realize they’re infected. But some will develop symptoms that don’t go away. Some, like Zaleski, already have. “There are so many people who are recovering from COVID, and that’s absolutely wonderful,” she says. But others “are struggling with long-term symptoms, and I just wish that people knew that side of COVID better.”

Yesterday The NY Times ran an article on how "Covid-19 is once again in retreat."
metmom's comment was "I wonder what they are up to now……."
This mildly anti-vaxx article from Time, though five days old, is another head scratcher.
hmmmm....
My bad...please remove “HEALTH COVID-19 CAN BREAKTHROUGH INFECTIONS LEAD TO LONG COVID? FOR AN UNLUCKY FEW, YES” from the title, and retain “ Can Breakthrough Infections Lead to Long COVID? For an Unlucky Few, Yes”
Similar odds for COVID in general. Most survive. Some get sick. A few get really, really sick and sadly, a few of them die.
Sounds like better odds than with the “seasonal flu”.
I see the new propaganda spin is now to simply re-writing the history to make the failed vaccines not failures.
Please explain how we are suppose to vaccinate 7.62 billion people (100% vaccination rate) with shots every 6 months forever?
I not sure what you call it but it not a vaccine at this point. Might call it a “temporary preventative shot” but it can no longer be classified as a vaccine.
Per WHO
Vaccines reduce risks of getting a disease by working with your body’s natural defenses to build protection. When you get a vaccine, your immune system responds. It:
Recognizes the invading germ, such as the virus or bacteria.
Produces antibodies. Antibodies are proteins produced naturally by the immune system to fight disease.
Remembers the disease and how to fight it. If you are then exposed to the germ in the future, your immune system can quickly destroy it before you become unwell.
They are starting to realize the Covid hype is hurt the Biden Democrats in the polling. It was great when they could use it against Trump, now that they are in charge it now working out so well for them
So like the BlM hype from last year, this is going to be slowly shelved by the establishment media because “it hurts Joe”.
Fully vaccinated people can still get “breakthrough” infections from the virus that causes COVID-19>>>>>>>>>>
The Vaccines
1) do not creat immunity,
2) do not prevent transmission
3) do not work in the nasal cavity, pharnyx or lung
4) DO attenuate the syptoms of covid 19 infections for about 6 to 8 months out from your second shot.
Yet look at this article , making people believe that their non existence immunity can be “broken through.” What a load of shit!
There is on;ly one way to achieve imunity from Covid 19, and that is to beinfected and survive the ionfection. Then you have long term immunity.
Sweden used the long term immunity approach and the country has achieved a national immunity.
Public health in America has really not addressed the pandemic properly.For example simple drug therapy should be avaialbel over the counter to all who want it.
Coronavirus PING!
Think long and hard about that statement there.
Maybe they’re determining that *enough* victims have taken these hazardous shots....and, the roar of the push backs is growing....
GOK what lurks in the minds of these evil minions.
The newest fear seems to be “longterm COVID”. But lots of diseases have longterm effects, not just COVID; so why are we using this to keep the fear going?
Breakthrough infections? That means if vaccinated...yes?
Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine’s Effectiveness Falls Below 50 Percent After 5 Months: Study
but compared to an unvaccinated person, they’re more than 10 times less likely to be hospitalized or die from their illness
If an unvaccinated person who has caught the Wuhan Coronavirus is, for example, 95% unlikely to be hospitalized, and 98% unlikely to die, then according to this, a vaccinated person is 950% unlikely to be hospitalized, and 980% unlikely to die.
Longterm COVID is something some will have to deal with after recovering unfortunately. It should have no bearing on fear, vaccination mandates or anything else but effective treatments going forward.
Not to sound like a broken record, but...
If everybody would use Ivermectin and/or HCQ for early intervention, we wouldn’t need vaccines that aren’t, “requirements,” boosters, mandates, masks, lockdowns, expensive designer drugs, etc, and the CCP virus and it’s variants would disappear in a month.
“why are we using this to keep the fear going?”
Because they haven’t ramped up the next variant yet? They’re giving us a break for a few weeks, then they’ll stir up all hell before the holidays.
Define “few”.
BS right out of the gate.
Start by defining “unvaccinated” and then accurately listing the case of death.
IOW, the left would have to give up its control over us, which is WHY we will never see the use of an inexpensive, safe medication to defeat this virus.
Once you get the vac, you cannot go bac…
