Study Finds Prejudice Against COVID-19 Unvaccinated Around the World

You should do some research re: booster compliance.

It's not good.

4%

Why is that? CT nuttery?
===================

Less than 4% of eligible people have gotten updated Covid booster shots, one month into the rollout​


At least 7.6 million people have received an updated Covid booster since the start of September, according to data released Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That number represents around 3.6% of people currently eligible to receive the shots in the U.S.

That is a very outdated link. Over 50% of the vaxxed have received booster shots too. See how your State ranked in my link.

As of Dec. 14, 115,560,269 Americans had received a booster, or 50.5 percent of the country's fully vaccinated population , according to the CDC's data.

priority to nursing home elderly while ignoring the increased at risk 65 and older was disgusting. The mantra was 65 and over are at risk but most were shunned at the rollout because they weren’t in assisted living.
You should have made your argument point specific instead of general. Consequently your argument was stupid and easily refuted.

We only hope that people here be honest and accept when they are overmatched... I do not expect that from you though, not at all.

You have no clue who was getting priority so you make shit up.
We had mobile teams going into LTC facilities to vaccinate them and AT THE SAME TIME we had a huge vaccine clinic at our local civic center (which is where I worked). The intake people screened people to make sure they were qualified according to CDC guidelines to receive the limited number of doses available. As the supply of vaccine became more plentiful we gradually moved eligibility to less and less levels of risk.
Best not to wing it when you don’t know something as factual.

If you are talking about the one term mistakes botched vaccine rollout you are right. The Trump way was to dump a load of vaccines on the Governors doorstep and say use them. No warnings, no plan just random dumps. It was a disaster even by Trump standards. Biden brought in FEMA and the military to help administer the vaccine. Trump was too busy trying to overthrow the Govt. to bother with the vaccine. The man could not do anything right...ever.

Trump's bungled vaccine rollout is forcing governors to get creative — and political

"Just as they did during the early days of the pandemic, the Trump administration left the distribution of the vaccines to the states, and the result is this patchwork approach we see from state to state," said one public policy expert.

Argue the facts in the links I posted. Only the elderly IN NURSING HOMES were part of the first vaccine rollout. My bro at 65 waited because he wasn't eligible.

Quit lying with BS stories/post about giving shots out the back of a box van. Did Bigfoot get the jab too?

It does appear that communism has failed. And strict Socialism/Marxism by definition has never been perfected. But Democratic Socialism has not only been tried, it is currently very successfully in use in most industrialized nations including the USA.

It is a common conservative myth that "socialism has failed everywhere it has been tried." That is nothing but propaganda on the level of American exceptionalism and attributing our current level of lifestyle to capitalism alone. Without our government social programs poverty would be far worse in the USA, which would reduce our average level of lifestyle.

Remember. The success of a society is not measure by how well the richest are doing. It is measured by how well the nation deals with the poorest.
What is Democratic Socialism and how does it work to make a human being strive to be the best he can be?
 
No. I’m seldom wrong but you however seem to not do your homework. The at risk were over 65. They only offered it to nursing home elderly who are unarguably much older. It was our grandparents we were told were important only to shun them when the vaccine became available

Health care workers on the front lines of the pandemic are one of the groups prioritized to receive the first doses of the vaccine. Several of them said Monday that they were hopeful that the day marked a turning point and described the emotional toll of treating patients affected by the virus.

When you look at the science of who died and of those that died, their overall health, you will see that the math really hasn't changed. Elderly people by far top the list, followed by those over 55 WITH health issues. When you get further down in age groups, you find that the death rate is right around what the regular flu is. These are the facts.

This country and others ahs turned into one big indoctrination machine where the liberal press yells and screams and insists the health officials are right and all of us must get vaccinated. When asked to prove why younger people in good health should, they yell even more and ostracoize and denigrate you into silence.
 
Anybody that knows what It takes to get a higher degree knows that almost everybody who gets one is intelligent.

Anybody that has met street sweepers and garbage collectors and the guy that holds the stop sign at a construction site knows that while a couple of those guys might be intelligent, the vast majority are high school drops outs and half-idiots.
How does someone with a PhD know anything more about life, morals, or politics than a street sweeper?
 
well yeah, but we could "save" lives by dropping the speed limit to 20mph and I mean vehicles governed to never be able to go over 20 mph .... but nobody will ever agree to that because all the kids dying in car wrecks is worth being able to drive fast, that's the cold hard truth

so yeah, I agree .... it was never about saving kids lives at all and that campaign/push .... what was it REALLY about then? just money for pharmaceutical ? a big social experiment for the Govt to see how far they could push people? something else ?

what do you think ?
There is an old saying "If you want to know the reason for something, follow the money". It is reported that the net worth of Fauci increased by around 5 million dollars during the pandemic. It is a fact that Pfizer donated millions to the NIH. Here is the proof and this is from Factcheck.org and a powder puff piece making it all seem like nothing is wrong:

“Recently, our organization at OpenTheBooks.com forced NIH to disclose over 22,100 royalty payments totaling nearly $134 million paid to the agency and nearly 1,700 NIH scientists,” Adam Andrzejewski, the group’s founder and CEO, wrote in a May 9 report. “These payments occurred during the most recently available period (September 2009 – September 2014).”

His wife works at a company that approves drugs for the FDA!!!
 
Exactly..a moron.
Okay some 98% of doctors are vaccinated.
We are tge ones that would literally know if the vaccine was killing people..because of course we would be treating them.
Yet we are all vaccinated.

Explain why 98% of doctors want to take a vaccine that they know will kill them.

Please explain in detail.
Irrelevant to the facts, isn't it?

Lemmings jump off cliffs. Why would they do that? is irrelevant to the fact that they jumped off a cliff, is it not?
 
Yeah no.
Twitter..Facebook etc are entertainment.
They are not serious avenues for information.
Anyone with at least half a brain cell understands that.
The irony here is that Twitter and Facebook are TOOLS of the government.
Trump..THE LEADER OF THE GOVERNMENT tweets and all right wing you lemmings follow.
The same with all the other right wing government officials.
They tweet or post on Facebook and you right wingers fall in line.
No matter how ridiculous the tweet.
No matter the lack of evidence..
The SAME people that said covid was a hoax. That Trump won the election..that covid was just like the flu..
Are telling you how the " the doctors aren't allowed to talk".
I mean..bwaaahh...thats just too funny.

See here is the thing. Intelligent educated people can be skeptical of what is said to us. Whether a republican government official..or a Democrat government official.
Whether liberal or right wing.
We can go and find out the evidence for ourselves..evaluate the studies..evaluate the research..evaluate history.

We aren't reliant on anyone telling us.
Which is scary to people who want power.
People that want power don't want people that question..the want good little followers.
So powerful people malign educated people..any totalitarian government?
Who is the first they go after? Teachers..doctors journalists...educated people that can question them..

Now ? Which are you Paradox?
A person that questions what tgey are told on Twitter and Facebook?
Who reads the actual research..and can evaluate it..
Or you someone that reacts to the dog whistle of a tweet or Facebook post.

Someone who needs a headline or " excerpt " to react to.??

Think about it for more than a minute.
For an alleged doctor, you seemingly have no grasp of logic and common sense and you most assuredly are not a conservative by any stretch of the imagination.

I have choices to make on how I seek out the truth. I can rely on "authority" and as another poster here says just put my "faith" in the government and just believe and follow what they tell me is the truth. Those people with PhDs and titles after their names like Dr. or Director of XYZ, or Chief Health Officer, or believing in some medical group. This would be the easy way for me and is the route that more than 80% of the p[opulace takes. Why? Because it is inbred into humans through evolution and will not change for hundreds and even thousands of years if ever. When you look back through history, you see that kings, tribal leaders, and religious leaders demanded belief, faith, and obedience. This is why blasphemy laws were instituted by Catholicism/Christianity and why kings would chop off the heads of dissenters and the Romans would hang people upside down to die an agonizing death so that the public could see what happens to dissenters against "authority". From this humans evolved into giving titles to people based on their field of study so that the general public would instantly know those were people "in authority" and not to question them ever, or else.


Humans relish in titles because it makes them think they are above others and better than others. Just ask a poster here named Bodi who insists that liberals are much better than conservatives because they are better educated. Assumably a college degree to her means that person is really smart and means they know far more than a street sweeper and I guess, therefore those people with a college degree or title should run the world. To make a long story short, your posts reek of sanctimony and a holier-than-thou attitude as do most all of the liberal posters here. it is what I call the "Strzok" attitude among the elite where they think conservatives are knuckle draggers and unclean and uneducated to be scorned as beneath them as if the liberals are a king or a queen and "in authority" over them because they have initials behind their names.

It is these types of academics who are ruining the world who want to claim that what THEY say is disinformation is the final word and if they think that, it is the end of the story. The FBI agents that monitored Twitter fall into that class of people...they have many Strzok-type people there controlling people because they can. How could a regular person at Twitter or Facebook go against them? If anyone is "in authority" it is the FBIO because they have the power to ruin you like a king or queen of the od days.
 
You think it is a conspiracy... there is a forum for that. Otherwise, non-paranoid people understand that they were rushing out a new vaccine with the hope of stopping what seemed to be an out of control world wide pandemic like something out of a movie... You have conveniently forgotten about the hospitals in Europe filling up, medical staff overwhelmed and not enough ventilators and no place to put all the bodies that they were just piling them up.

not a conspiracy - reasons ...there are reasons politicians, political parties and govt does things

But you are trying to make this about politics and that is really and truly disgusting.

Not the point. I answered what was the point though... apparently it is rocket science to you. *shrug*

did you think it was disgusting when Joe Biden
(220,000 Americans died from the coronavirus should disqualify Trump from reelection.)

"Anyone who's responsible for that many deaths should not remain as president of the United States of America," Biden said in the opening remarks of the showdown that comes just 12 days before the election."


Biden/Democrats used covid pandemic as a political tool in the 2020 election - do you not remember ?
 
You have a lot to learn...


How does vaccination work?

The immune system is a network of cells, tissues and organs that work together to help fight off infection from harmful bacteria or viruses. When a disease-causing agent, such as virus or bacteria, invades your body, your immune system recognises it as harmful and will trigger a response to destroy it.

One of the ways your immune system fights off infection is by creating large proteins known as antibodies. These antibodies act as scouts, hunting down the infectious agent, and marking it for destruction by the immune system. Each antibody is specific to the bacteria or virus that it has detected and will trigger a specific immune response. These specific antibodies will remain in the immune system after the infection has gone. This means that if the same disease is encountered again, your immune system has a ‘memory’ of the disease and is ready to quickly destroy it before you get sick and any symptoms can develop.

Sometimes, however, the immune system doesn’t always win this initial battle against the harmful bacteria or virus and you can become very ill or – in extreme cases – die. Vaccination is the safest and most common way to gain immunity against a bacteria or virus that your body has yet to encounter. Vaccines contain a harmless form of the bacteria or virus that causes the disease you are being immunised against. The bacteria or virus will be killed, greatly weakened, or broken down into small parts before use in the vaccine so that they can trigger an immune response without making you sick. Your immune system will still attack the harmless form of bacteria or virus from the vaccine and will produce antibodies to fight it off. The immune system then keeps a memory of the disease, so if a vaccinated person encounters the disease years later, their immune system is ready to fight it off and prevent an infection from developing.



well first off - the mRNA shots were NOT like that (bold)

second off, if the immune system remember, then why do you have to get booster after booster "to build up" the immune system which was what was said ?
 
Here is a powder puff by the Democrat-sponsored fact-checking site called factcheck.org that always minimizes the bad things and highlights the "good' when it comes to liberals


In spite of their apologetics befitting the best of the best in Christian apologetics, they admit the NIH gets hundreds of millions of dollars from Pfizer alone. Forget the fact that the liar and evildoer Fausti may give his away to charity, there are literally hundreds of people working in a GOVERNMENT position raking in the dough from Pfizer and other Big Pharm conglomerates. There is nothing in the powder puff piece that shows the others gave theirs to charity. So, here we have a mixture of alleged government workers in bed with Big Pharm, and the ones that make billions from selling a vaccine??? Nothing to see HERE folks. Just 350 million and more over the years pocketed by workers at the NIH, the ones telling uis the vaccine is safe and that it was the cure.

"Gotta keep those royalties coming. Who CARES about VAERS!!! Those are just reports and the DOCTORS who send those reports in must be liars. I need my royalties. I have a daughter I am putting through college and payments on my mansion. The public d=be damned"

I am wondering now just how much CVS and Walgreens charge the government for those boosters and the vaccine itself. Does anyone here know?


edit. I found out rather quickly. it is $40.00 for each booster. Can you just imagine how much we taxpayers are being bilked at that rate? 6 boosters at $40.00 equals $240.00 per person times 200 million people (conservatively) if we exclude the unvaccinated. 48 BILLION I figure

America is being raped.

In other words...

Children have died from COVID in numbers that far outstrip deaths from diseases we routinely vaccinate for.

Show me a vaccine for drowning, traffic deaths, suffocation, poisoning, falling, etc.

its because the covid vaccines don't stop you from getting covid or dying from covid because they're new, unproven, rushed into production ..... the other diseases/viruses you want to only compare to have decades of testing/results

there are no vaccines for drowning, traffic deaths, suffocation, poisoning, falling, etc. and yet, our children are far more likely to die from those things

so again I ask - why the focus on hammering shots for kids when (A) kids don't get/die from covid really and (B) the shots don't stop you from getting covid and (C) they don't stop you from dying of covid

why the massive push to get kids shotted?

Kids typically do not die from chickenpox, mumps, and other "childhood" diseases. So why should they get shots for any of those? That's your line of logic.

Those shots don't cause blood clots, heart attacks, etc.

I don’t really give a rats ass if you believe me. I was there. You weren’t.
You generally have a hard time accepting the truth anyway, and that’s what all of your posts reflect.
