I have no idea what any of your guys States numbers are but up here we are now seeing more cases in the fully vaxxed than we are in the unvaxxed.

Our Province is now over 86% fully vaxxed and our numbers are going up each and everyday.

Tremendous vaccines!

Makes zero sense to me but I'm sure there are plenty of spins on it to explain it all.

Totally understandable. I'm sorry to hear your numbers are climbing, it's unfortunate. While I can't speak for the other states, life here in NY seems to be progressing back to normal. I've been in packed bars, concert venues, restaurants and schools. Gotta do what's best for you in your situation.

-49 year old woman, perfectly healthy (purchased our house in May), only member of the family (husband, 18 year old and a 12 and 10 year old) not to be vaccinated, 3 weeks on vent, wasn't able to say goodbye to family and died.
-mid 40's member of this forum, perfectly healthy, long hauler with as he puts it "covid fog" and other problems. This is at least 8 months later.
-local plumber, mid 40's, overweight, has done work for me in the past, anti vax and mask on his facebook page, going on 3 weeks on a vent, dire condition.
-a good friends brother in law who I am also friendly with, late 50's, also anti vax, multiple weeks in the hospital, came home for a week and is now back in the hospital with organ failure. Really good guy who is questioning why he didn't get the vaccine everytime I check in on him.

Just some examples of people that I actually know....not anecdotal stories from strangers. Believe what you want...hopefully I won't add you to my list.

And just as many stories about perfectly healthy people getting the vax then being hospitalized and some dying due to blood clots and other now known side affects.

I laugh at the "anti-vax" label that is placed on people like me. I know many, like myself, who have had every vax required to date but since we don't agree with this first time ever used, rushed through, with no long term side affect studies, experimental vaccine, we are labelled anit-vaxxers.

If it weren't for the gov't overreach, the extreme push from the gov't to get these vaccines, the back and forth, the flip flopping, the lies, the censorship, the incentives and everything else questionable, imo, that should throw up a red flag to many, way more would be vaccinated than what there currently are.

In my opinion, the whole thing reeks and has since the very beginning.

I would rate discussing Covid the same as talking politics, religion, or having some crazy loser that won't shut up telling you how bigfoot is real. Still way better than another PWCC thread or the best lefty thread.

I hear ya, Ben. There is no winning no matter what each side presents. Nothing but an exercise in futility. Which, based on what has already been covered/talked about in this thread, I'll likely exit from it from here on out.

Hope all is well.

My Wife is a pharmacist, my Daughter is a pharmacist in the emergency room of a hospital, my Uncle and Cousin are both Doctor's and my very good friend worked for Pfizer (involved with vaccines) for 25 years. Getting vaccinated was an easy decision based upon their input.

I wonder if a few of the almost 49,000,000 people in the USA that have had COVID and even more of the almost 800,000 people who have died from COVID would like a chance at the vaccine now? Based on my Daughter's actual experiences in the ER...the answer is YES!

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

You should have taken your own advise then before posting earlier and reviving this thread.

Hey now! Leave poor bigfoot out of this.

Between the pandemic and people not looking for him the number of subs etc abandoned in a panic by people spotting him is WAY down... So much so that he's had to resort to selling his lefty cards through PWCC...
