It is interesting that they have never promoted zinc, vitamin D to reduce effects of CovID if you catch it
Is there any evidence that these reduce the effects of COVID-19?
I know Vitamin D levels are important to generally stave off disease but I thought that was important before you got sick, not after you were already sick.
And is the jury in on zinc? I've heard mixed reports on it with regards to cold/flu...not sure how that would translate to covid.
I meant before not sure sure how much it helps after the fact.

Imagine some of the young fans of unvaccinated QB Sam Darnold ...the young fans who look up to him, idolize him, and aspire to be just like him...
I can hear some of those kids now..."If Sam Darnold ain't getting vaccinated, I ain't getting vaccinated either"!! Lol...not really funny because it's probably true.
If it were up to me, I'd have my childhood NFL heroes Dick Butkus and Deacon Jones in their prime beat the crap out of this Darnold dude until he sees the light....haha... > Dick Butkus

Another thing I never got: the early speculation and stating-as-fact that children will not get Covid. Just seems so counter to common sense and what we observe in the world around us. Yet, that seemed to be the perception of most, that the young would somehow be immune from it. But now...
Sometimes you don't need to be a scientist or doctor to recognize the reality
staring back right in front of your face.

I wish we could segregate the anti-vaxxers. If they don't want it, fine. But don't mingle with us who are trying to end the pandemic.

I have had this thought as the major larger vaxx sites close due to little demand in my neck of the woods , what will happen later when people wake up ( if they do ) and want to get vaccinated after the train/bus has left the station ? They are already talking about a wave coming to the US in the fall .Quote

TheGreekSuch simple directions/guidance to protect oneself and people get all bent out of shape that there rights are being violated right ? Guess who or what doesn't care nor give a damn about ones rights ? The good ole merry Grim Reaper who does not discriminate . Talk about being "inclusive" In my neck of the woods we had on the local news yesterday outside of the state capital a press briefing from one of the 2 major parties campaigning for the mask mandate to be lifted for kids in school . One mother with her 9 year old son said it's her right to decide whether her kid(s) wear a mask or get vaccinated . This lady was screaming that her kid has difficulty breathing which I understand has to be a tremendous hardship for the youngster , but is the alternative better ? To risk exposing your youngster to COVID-19 or compromising his immune system and cardiac and respiratory system ? Another Lady on NBC News said she doesn't trust the vaccine and nor does she need it . Are people this dumb ? 600,000 dead in the United States so far since March 2020 . Yes this is a disruption and an major inconvenience to our life and liberty , but this is a once in a hundred years and once in our lifetime pandemic and all people care about is going to the bars to knock them back and all of there pastimes and hobbies and recreational activities and travel , which getting on a plane is really appealing at this moment with all of the deranged people losing it and flipping out on flights all because they have to wear a mask . I could care less about the loss of so called activities as I still have my health and happiness .Quote

From Fauci via CNN:
Fauci: US "cannot declare victory prematurely" against Covid-19 as variants are still a threat
Corona-Fauci
While the US has “done very well” with vaccinating its population, Dr. Anthony Fauci said, “we cannot declare victory prematurely because there are still a substantial proportion of people who have not been vaccinated.”
Fauci, director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the chief medical adviser to President Biden, encouraged unvaccinated Americans to get their shot to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 Delta variant first identified in India. “We don't want to let happen in the United States what is happening currently in the UK, where you have a troublesome variant essentially taking over as the dominant variant, which has made it a very difficult situation in the UK. We don't want to be there,” he said. "About 6% of the isolates in the United States are this troublesome variant. You don't want to give it the opportunity to take over as the dominant variant, and we have within our power to do that by getting people vaccinated, because we have very, very good vaccines,” Fauci said. Fauci also said that the US Food & Drug Administration is “very, very carefully” looking into extending shelf life or re-allocating Johnson & Johnson vaccines that are set to expire. Of the 21.4 million Johnson & Johnson doses delivered in the US, about 11 million have been administered, according to data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The vaccine can be stored for up to three months at refrigerator temperatures.
Yeah Greek...it's a bit out of control...
And as Bjornulf stated "Wear your masks, take the vaccine, keep a distance, this pandemic is not over..."
Yes Greek, it's a mess and people will continue to celebrate and "declare victory prematurely" when we're still in the thick of it, especially as far as the entire world is concerned.
And there are others who will bemoan the inconvenience of restrictions and precautions, along with those who refuse to get vaccinated, etc., etc., etc. - it's a mess, but what can you do?.
My wife and I were happily vaccinated and had our own little celebration, but we continue to follow the rules and regulations while going about our merry way and hoping for the best.
Same here. In all likelihood there is going to be another wave that hits. Even in California there is a correlation between counties that have higher infection rates and lower rates of vaccination. Those tend to be the rural counties in the state so overall California is relatively safe. At this point anyone who is unvaccinated adult will have only themselves to blame if they catch it and it disrupts their life or kills them. Hopefully the vaccine is approved for kids soon so the children of the vaccinated can be safe too.

People that got their vaccines still can transmit the virus. So in a way people that are not vaccinated become more vulnerable. Anti-vaxxers are not the problem anymore once the majority of the population got their jab.It's the people that want to travel and travel all over the globe and bring new variations to which we have no answer.

Not true. The current belief is that those who are double vaccinated cannot pass the virus.

Do your homework. Believes are useless in this case. It's scientific prove that counts.

By belief, I mean by what the current research indicates. So now the vaccinated are the problem. Unbelievable.

I travel a lot it’s one of my main passions in life.
You believe that people like me should stop travelling in order to give someone on their last legs another year of playing cards and looking at four walls in a care home.
Never
In three weeks time I will be double vaccinated two weeks after that I’m getting on a plane and will be doing so multiple times this year and I won’t be tolerating or complying with the ridiculous rules the U.K. government are trying to enforce on people who have been double vaccinated and want to travel.

A brief covid related story. I wanted to resume my volunteer work for Meals on Wheels, which is a service that brings meals to the elderly and infirm. I was told that I absolutely must be double vaccinated and wear a mask and gloves during my deliveries. I felt this would be a safe way for me to begin to return to some sense of normality. Not one of the people I dropped meals off to wore a mask. It was very disheartening.

Why would they wear a mask when very likely they have been double vaccinated.Might as well wear a bulletproof vest when someone’s pointing a water pistol at you.

^ I found it interesting especially after last year. There is debate whether unvaxxed players who end up on Covid lists should be paid. The NFLPA says yes but this needs to be negotiated since a player on the Covid list can't play and must be replaced.
I think the unvaccinated who end up on the Covid list do deserve a salary haircut at least.

Just so I am clear (b/c you used the word "haircut"): You think the unvaccinated who get Covid and can't play....should get a pay-cut?
I don't know for certain, but I would imagine the NFLPA has negotiated a blanket "sick day" policy for the players....
people are allowed to take days off of work when they are sick, dude....they also probably have "personal days" too.....most jobs in modern democracies have such policies....which is the HUMANE policy.
"if you get sick and can't work, you take a pay cut" sounds more like a Nike Sweatshop in Communist China.....
