Have you had a COVID shot?

Might be time to bring the old folks home. I think there are some tax incentives.

Thats funny, I think you were one of them many months ago telling us the anti-mask kooks were the problems spreading the virus. Now seems your changing your tone about virus spread. I guess its no longer the anti-maskers being the problems?...lol

Many months ago we didn't have a vaccine. Today we do. The third wave could have been curtailed by earlier vaccine delivery. Israel, the UK and he the USA being prime examples of how effective vaccines are in reducing case loads, hospitalizations and deaths.

I thought you were one of the guy's with Gilroy and Fishermcan that felt Trudeau was doing a wonderful job in procuring our Vaccines (Which never showed up)

No it would not have curtailed the case load.
Improper use of PCR testing is what keeps this pandemic going.
It is exactly why legal action has now been undertaken.

"WHO guidance Diagnostic testing for SARS-CoV-2 states that careful interpretation of weak positive results is needed (1). The cycle threshold (Ct) needed to detect virus is inversely proportional to the patient’s viral load. Where test results do not correspond with the clinical presentation, a new specimen should be taken and retested using the same or different NAT technology."

"WHO reminds IVD users that disease prevalence alters the predictive value of test results; as disease prevalence decreases, the risk of false positive increases (2). This means that the probability that a person who has a positive result (SARS-CoV-2 detected) is truly infected with SARS-CoV-2 decreases as prevalence decreases, irrespective of the claimed specificity."

"Most PCR assays are indicated as an aid for diagnosis, therefore, health care providers must consider any result in combination with timing of sampling, specimen type, assay specifics, clinical observations, patient history, confirmed status of any contacts, and epidemiological information."

The whole mask mandate is driving infections up also. Nobody wears them properly and half of them don't fit, everyone is touching their face or mask while they are shopping. Think about it, how often do you wash your mask, in theory it should be washed every time you return home.

Some lady on the news the entire family got covid after the shot in the states.

When she was doing the interview online in what looks like to be her residence she was wearing a mask. Then later in the segment if was down below her nose but come on that's why your husband in the hospital if your going to wear a mask inside when everyone already has covid . Like what the heck..

How exactly does improper testing overflow our ICU’s. Assuming people are pretty sick before they are put there

Lots of vaccinated people in India sick with covid. Apparently the variants are not being stopped with vaccines in India.
