You mean wearing masks in school is "shut the world down"?
Or vaccinations? oh the horror...

[runrussellrun]

But I am not in favor of allowing unvaccinated people into our country no matter where they’re coming from


Now what

Now what

Let's throw out all the unvaccinated people. Americans too...

so that means what? All citizens of every country shall now be treated as Global Citizens? Now we know where you really stand....you are a globalist, disguised as a Republican, who posts as a left leaning individual.

It was tongue in cheek.

I want all Americans to get vaccinated absent a really strong medical reason not to, or actual Christian Scientist. Much bigger issue than travelers or immigrants, though I also want them vaccinated...I want'em all vaccinated...

BTW, what's a "globalist" in this context and what's "Global Citizens" in this context?
Sure, I'm an actual life long Republican...not sure why that makes you so uncomfortable, but yeah, that's how I've been registered and voted for more than 4 decades...pre-Trump. Trumpists will never get my vote.

Do I actually "lean left" or just relative to the right wing these days?
I'm definitely not from the "right wing" of my party, never have been.
Oh the horror, a moderate.

Combined natural immunity and vaccination produces a greater degree of immunity than either alone. Not really a surprise.

But let's argue about masks, make sure we criminalize reproductive choice and make it harder to vote in Harris County:

"At least 45 small school districts across Texas have been forced to temporarily stop offering in-person classes as a result of COVID-19 cases in the first few weeks of the new school year, according to the Texas Education Agency.

The shutdowns, which affected about 42,000 students as of Thursday, come as cases caused by the highly contagious delta variant have plagued administrators who hoped for a normal return to the school year.

Caseloads have left districts scrambling when many have said they have fewer tools at their disposal to combat the spread of the virus and have had to come up with their own strategies that can differ from district to district. Administrators are tasked with protecting students’ and staff members’ health, providing a quality education and staying open enough days to avoid tacking on extra days at the end of the school year.

“By far this is worse in terms of planning than last year,” said Tim Savoy, spokesperson for Hays Consolidated Independent School District, which closed some classrooms. “There’s no question about it. Last year we had a lot of tools at our disposal: We could require masks, and we could provide a virtual option that was funded. … [Then], the delta variant really kind of appeared and just exploded on us.”

State data about the number of coronavirus cases in districts that have closed at least once during the school year thus far is incomplete — 19 have not reported any cases in students or staff to the state, while case totals in 22 districts have been suppressed by the state due to privacy policies. The list of public school closures in Texas is also incomplete, according to TEA. The agency is tracking closures informally based on media and district reports since districts are not required to report closures to TEA, said Frank Ward, an agency spokesperson.

From Aug. 23-29, there were 27,353 new positive COVID-19 cases among students in Texas public schools, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services, making it the biggest one-week increase in the entire pandemic. The state reports 51,904 cases among students and 13,026 among staff since the school year began. That’s about 1% of the 5.3 million students enrolled in the state as of January.

Children’s hospitals, which have been inundated with COVID-19 patients at levels never seen before during the pandemic, have also seen an uptick in patients as the school year is underway, said Dr. Corwin Warmink, medical director of emergency services for Cook Children’s Health Care System in Fort Worth.

“Every year when school starts, we expect a bump in volume [in our emergency room] — we planned for it, we scheduled for it,” Warmink said at a news conference Wednesday. “In the regular year we’ll see about 300 kids a day during this time. On Monday, we saw 601, an all-time record. ... At 600, we’re physically unable to care for kids in a timely fashion.”

Districts handle closures as a result of COVID-19 differently: Smaller ones tend to temporarily close all campuses, and larger ones close classrooms, grade levels and individual schools.

“Each week that the kids have been back, we’ve just seen those numbers increase dramatically, and that has been very stressful and very concerning to me,” said Phil Edwards, superintendent of Angleton ISD, which has almost 7,000 students.

On Tuesday, Angleton announced it would close its campuses through next Tuesday, while still allowing extracurricular activities to proceed, and it is not requiring students to work remotely. Angleton ISD reported that as of Thursday, the district has more than 200 positive COVID-19 cases among students, employees and staff thus far this school year."

Boys more at risk from Pfizer jab side-effect than Covid, suggests study

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/ ... ests-study

[runrussellrun]

Combined natural immunity and vaccination produces a greater degree of immunity than either alone. Not really a surprise.

but, either way.....take trumps vaccines..........FDA "warnings" be damned.

coupled with the rarity that covid survivors can get reinfected.

Never in the history of the world have we forced survivors to take something that potentially can cause more harm (heart, blood clots, etc ) than any benefits the vaxx may have.

covid survivors are all set. they don't need a vaxx.

so glad our frontline healthcare workers, have gone from heros to zeros.......

so glad a vaccine is messing with a womens time of the month.....so cool.

fact

now what?

But the risk comparison that matters is not the comparison in the Guardian article - but comparing hospitalization rates for UNvaccinated vs vaccinated, and include the extra hospitalizations due to the rare heart issues (which don't seem to be fatal in at least the vast majority of cases from what I remember).

Common mistake in comparing risks...

Whatever. Take it up with The Guardian and their sources.

Millions of US residents have recovered from covid. They are covid survivors.

Many of them see no need to get the vaccine ,due to these risks.

What risk, has you all concerned , about covid survivors and the risk they pose to society. Natural immunity, way better than the Trump emergency shot.

From head of FDA.....to employment at the the pharma companies.......

Common knowledge, move on, nothing to see here. Trump, vaccine, works

either way, everyone has to wear a mask, b/c they can spread it.

Not sure why the "hateful" vaccinated , wear masks ? who are they protecting ?

Some of you belong in the F em camp, yes? F the unvaccinated?

So, why are you wearing a mask? Sounds like you don't care if some mouth breathers die, of covid. Nay,,,,some of you are gleeful, when people get sick.
