The danger of skipping your Covid booster is rising—and more than 100 million Americans are at risk
CNBC ^

Posted on 07/21/2022 7:05:46 PM PDT by MNDude

If you haven't gotten your Covid booster shot yet, public health experts say BA.5 is a prime reason to get it — and soon.

The Covid subvariant appears to be the virus's most transmissible strain thus far, powering a nationwide surge in new cases that hasn't slowed since March. That's a problem, even as hospitalizations and deaths remain relatively low: The longer Covid circulates, the more likely it is to mutate into a form that's both transmissible and severe.

Since then, it is mutated into something that is arguably more transmissible, but barely causes any Severe illness for the vast majority of the population, just like the flu or common cold when a relatively healthy person gets it.


Exactly.

And, this is precisely what REAL docs/scientists told us it would do, early on.

Viruses are gonna virus.

Not only that, they too have had the same radical professors throughout their entire life and the doctors spend more time in the propaganda centers than others. Look for older doctors and I hate to say this, or foreign trained, at least they’ll immediately know whether or not they are treating a male or female.

Where is the 'science' beyond that little gem of a statement.

I have to say I agree.

I retired two doctors. Both of them were wonderful men who were proponents of, find out what is wrong and treat it.

Both my husband and I are on record as people who, couple times a year, will catch a nasty bug and it will turn into bronchitis. Treatment is not complicated or controversial. We go in, they listen to the lungs, give us prescriptions for inhalers, antibiotics and cough syrup. We go home, rest and eat lots of chicken soup, take our treatment and see him in a week when he says, yep all better.

New guy it is a fight to get him to admit we know what we have, (must be wuflu! everyone be scared of the chinese super bug that will KILL US ALL except you don't need any sort of treatment until you are hospital worthy)

I'm getting tired of it. I have enough conflict in my life. I do not need my doctor arguing with me. Just patch me up so I can get back in the game.

“The Covid subvariant appears to be the virus’s most transmissible strain thus far”

No matter, it also appears to be most often producing less severe responses.

They are trying to scare us while the virus is trying to keep mutating to where it is less of a danger to us and thus more likely to survive. That is what life does - finds the route to greater suvivability. Viruses that cannot do that usually die off becuase they don’t quit killing most of the hosts they infect.

Three of 10 people in my office recently had Covid - all were fully vaccinated and boosted. One guy had a 101 degree temperature for two days and that was it. Although he tested negative, he assumes the home test was false because his live-in gf tested positive — twice. The other two has sniffles, a sore throat, and fatigue. No temperature. Basically a cold.

......Viruses ALWAYS mutate into MORE transmissible and LESS lethal variants......

That is not quite true! In the case of the mutating virus we understand best, influenza, mutation and recombination resulted in the transmissible and lethal 1918 virus, and the somewhat lethal (but less so than 1918) 2009 H1N1 “swine flu”.

Both of these have since mutated and recombined to less lethal forms.

Influenza can recombine, covid cannot. So covid’s bag of tricks is less extensive than influenza’s! Nevertheless, we need to watch our for what covid has in store for us, without believing Dim propaganda designed to mess over the 2022 and 2024 elections!!!!

FR is a nice oasis in the middle of all this. :)It’s so important for people to stand up against this mass formation psychosis and hopefully get people to see what is really planned in all of this. I felt the same way about RFK Jr., until he put his whole reputation on the line to speak out against what has been going on. The man is a great communicator.

...WOW...this guy started telling me how he got his first shot, and never got his booster, and you can't convince him to get a booster, and so on. He was peeved...

There are a large number of people who are saying, "We're done!", no more injections. I think they will target these people with even more fear and warnings hoping to win them back. But when people figure out they've been lied to and coerced most people won't go back for another affliction. That's why it's important for those of us who haven't taken part in all this to support those who are going to resist now.
