COVID Does Merica

A few of the lies promoted in America by politicians and public health “experts” to help the economy and destroy public health.

  • Masks don’t work. Masks work.
  • Masks do work, but cloth masks are fine. Get a quality well fitted n-95 and wear it properly around others.
  • Stop the spread by sanitizing surfaces. Surfaces aren’t the primary way an airborne virus spreads, do sanitize.
  • 6 feet of social distancing will stop the spread. The virus can remain airborne for much further than 6 feet.
  • COVID is not airborne. COVID is airborne.
  • COVID is airborne, but that’s not the main way it spreads. If you smell a smokers cigarette you can catch COVID.
  • The only people harmed by COVID are old and immune-compromised people. All ages are harmed.
  • Children don’t get COVID. Children get COVID and their life expectancy is reduced with each new infection.
  • Children can get COVID, but they can’t spread it. Children are the primary spreaders of the virus. 
  • Reinfections are rare. Reinfections are common.
  • Breakthrough infections after vaccination are rare. Breakthrough infections are common.
  • Reinfections and breakthrough infections happen, but they’re mild. Each reinfection increases chances of organ failure and death.
  • Once enough people have been exposed, herd immunity will end the pandemic. There will be no herd immunity with a virus that is allowed to mutate indefinitely.
  • Viruses naturally evolve to become less deadly. There is no guarantee that the next variant will be less deadly.
  • Once you recover from acute infection, you’re out of the woods. You can easily be reinfected with a worse outcome.
  • Long COVID is psychological, not physical. Long COVID is debilitating for children and adults.
  • Long COVID is physical, but not a big concern. Long COVID will destroy the lives of 1 out of 10 people.
  • Heightened lethality of non-COVID diseases is due to “immunity debt.” Avoiding exposure to a deadly virus does not damage you immune system. You do not need to get sick to be healthy.

 

Breakthrough Cases

Posted on by Thor

The CDC has reported 5800 breakthrough cases of COVID-19 out of the nearly 77 million people who have been fully vaccinated. 65 percent of the cases were in women, and just over 40 percent were in people ages 60 and up. About 29% of those experiencing breakthrough infections experienced no symptoms, however, seven percent of people were hospitalized, and 74 people died.

It is unclear why asymptomatic individuals were tested for Covid-19 after being fully vaccinated. It could be that some employers, such as health care systems, require regular testing.

People are considered fully vaccinated two weeks after they receive their second dose of a two-dose vaccine, such as the Pfizer-BioNTech or the Moderna vaccines, or two weeks after a single dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. (Use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is currently paused in the U.S. as federal health officials investigate cases of rare blood clots linked to the shots.) In clinical trials, the Pfizer and the Moderna vaccines were found to be around 95 percent effective against Covid-19, and the Johnson & Johnson vaccine was 72 percent effective against moderate-to-severe illness in its U.S. trial.

“I would encourage people to continue, once they’re vaccinated, to use all the prevention measures that we’ve been talking about when they’re outside their home, including masking and distancing and whatnot. And all of that should be active in the workplace,” the CDC’s director, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, said during a briefing for the press on April 12, 2021. These breakthrough cases are another reason that people should continue to wear masks, social distance and wash hands since research is not yet in on weather they could pass the disease on to others.

Vaccination remains critical to ending the pandemic. “It does not reduce the risk to nil, but it does reduce the risk to something that we can handle.”
