I clarified Alaska State Dept. of Health & Social Services data this morning.

The 63% reference is for those who've received at least 1 shot. The percentage of the State with 'full vaccination' is 60.3%. The percentage of persons in the Fairbanks North Star Borough with full vaccination (at least 2 jabs) is 51.4% (which helps in assessing the behaviors, infection numbers, deaths, and thought processes here).

And our hospitalizations continue to be predominantly, by significant numbers, the unvaccinated.

Yes, the vaccine is now known to lose efficacy earlier on than previously thought or hoped, though as written in the NYT yesterday, Moderna appears to have longer lasting protection.

Nonetheless, boosters seem viable, and if boosters keep folks healthy, for now, pending some other vaccine or tx that's more capable of improved outcomes, then the fact that it's a couple times per year, rather than once, is not a major factor in my and many persons' opinions.

i got the Moderna, but if they say to get a booster, i'm there.

that is the one the cool kids get:biggrin:

yeah,i'm guessing that as soon as they have approval the state health department will send an email as to when and where i can go...hopefully not as whoop ass as the second shot was,the next day i basically slept all day then was fine...probably skip the flu vax as i have never taken one and maybe had the flu once in like 15 years...

I personally don´t intend to get a flu shot as it´s said to weaken the bodys own abilty to fight off the flu and I believe that it´s much better to make the effort to build and support your immune system instead.
It´s a shame you guys aren´t provided with vitamins etc instead
With that said,health care professionals and hospital staff are indeed in a totally different position as they are more likely to pick something up and just as easily infect others.

And covid just cannot be compared to th flu or the common cold even though the systems are similar.

I just don´t get why some health care workers refure to get the covid vax, I mean they should be educated in these things, right...?

Like I said before the jabs have a
conditional registration in most countries and most healthcare workers don't want to be guinea pigs for the low salary they get paid for.In a lot of countries they're now forced to get the jab, so those people just leave the hospital for another job, which paids better.

The flu in 1918-1921 still cost to 40-50 million their lives.Covid different virus, but we just reached 4.8 million deaths at the moment.

Sweeden has gotten through the whole health emergency without all the bull shit restrictions and in the end they have lost less people per capita then you all knowing Americans have, so there is that. as for the 11x more likely to get covid time will tell. most of the claims about this vaccine have been proven fake big pharma marketing and lobbying. oh if only you get the vaccine, then you will be free again? my ass.

Some recommendations for people to use optional masks on public transport, and recommendations for everyone to get the vaccine of course. No mandates. However, death rates are inflated by administration of morphine and midazolam in nursing homes in Sweden and England. Poor old people who showed symptoms of the common cold were simply put on a regimen of drugs that cause respiratory depression and death —> deaths used to market the vaccine.

Big pharma, big lies.. but yes, when it comes to mandates and lock downs Sweden should be an example to any country that has imposed them. Belarus is another example of a country who like Sweden did not impose lock downs. Lukasjenko let it be known both to his people and the world that the IMF and the World Bank offered him a bribe of 940 million american dollars to lock down the country, force people wearing masks, crash the economy and impose a police state.

... I just hope I have no bad side effects as I´m by foot and I´m gonna combine it with buying groceries. :)

just make sure they don't inject directly into a vein or artery - only the deltoid muscle - to avoid myocarditis and/or blood clots

I was just joking.

Apparently, it's the new miracle COVID antiseptic cure.

Just drink a bottle of betadine. No vaccine needed.

yeah, washing powder works too but ONLY if you also have fabric softener afterwards. The precedure takes about and hour or so.
I got this one from the new bible of medicine called `Trumps Anatomy´ , an impressive amount of scientific knowledge, innit`:biggrin:
