The facts continually speak for themselves. The best thing you can do for your health and well being is get vaccinated.
Yet it keeps coming up again.
Mish, you write a lot of thoughtful stuff. I’d like your opinion: does an #N95 mask filtering particles greater than 300 nanometers used properly prevent 95% of #covid virus from entering your airways? is that not one of the simplest effective preventatives? https://t.co/cNno8fdm5V

Omicron is definitely less serious and at the same time masks appear to be less effective.
The #1 thing to do is get vaccinated not wear a mask. I am.
But I am tired of preaching that message.
Most of the nation is vaccinated, and most of the rest will have antibodies. https://t.co/XTdn8S9By5

About Getting Vaccinated – Just Tonight
good grief, you still believe that? this is despite covid cases and deaths well north of 2020 !

Yes – Vaccinations saved lives

Foolishness Never Stops
Try again
I don’t know where people find such horsesh*t but if it’s real it’s one day.
Let’s discuss the real data. OK?https://t.co/uJeGOARDez pic.twitter.com/iK6HFMKwh7

It easy to find one day or one report here or there that is contrary. Fools use such things as proof of something ignoring the overwhelming preponderance of data.
But let’s not confuse good medical advice with unconstitutional mandates at the federal level.
Instead, lets focus on the good news, bad, news and potential best news.
Bad News
The bad news is stubborn anti-vaxxers are filling up the hospitals once again.
Good News
Fewer of them are dying. (Some extremists may consider that bad news too.)
Potential Best News
The potential best news in all of this is looking ahead.
Omicron is so infectious, that many if not most of the unvaccinated are likely to get it. Then if antibodies do what they normally do, this may be the last big wave of hospitalizations and deaths.
Meanwhile, the cure for stupidity and stubbornness is frequently hospitalization and sometimes death, even if the vast majority survive.
Thanks for Tuning In!

Mish, I think it’s not so much that people deny “the”
data—as that they resist the very nature of probabilistic empiricism, and so cherry-pick
whatever data supports their preferred beliefs and delusions of surety.
Very few people claim vaccination does not reduce hospitalization risk.
study. They followed the participants for 28 days after both their first
and second vaccine doses, between October 1, 2020, and October 5, 2021…. At follow-up, 269 people had myocarditis or myopericarditis. Of these, 40% were 12–39 years old, and 73% were male.
Coming from an internet doctor, that means a lot. Thank you, Dr Kookenstein!
hospitalization and sometimes death, even if the vast majority survive.”
Or how about Gibraltar which was 100%+ vaxxed and had another large wave anyways. or Ireland which was nearly 100% vaxxed but had another large wave anyways. Or Florida which is doing pretty darn good with no mandates or restrictions…but you’ll quote higher overall deaths/million without factoring in Florida high retiree population.
You also completely ignore adverse events related to vaccines which are massive. There have been more adverse reactions with covid vaccines than ALL other vaccines over the past 60 years combined including invermectin which is not a vaccine but has been prescribed 3.7 billion times.
Or how about the fact that there were 8000 more alcohol related deaths in the UK in 2020 vs. 2019. And the list goes on and on.
Worse, you make the ridiculous statement that so-called anti-vaxxers would cheer higher deaths which puts you in the same camp as NYT or CNN which are barely news orgs anymore. You also ignore the overwhelming evidence that invermectin would save lives but say absolutely nothing about it.
And you ignore the tremendous damage done to democracy, free speech and mental health overall.
I’m not anti-vax in the least. I’ve had plenty of em but I have serious reservations with mRNA vaccines which have proven to be problematic. I’m 62 but see no good reason to take these vaccines and I am waiting for novavaxx thank you very much.
Honestly, stop with the pro-vax propaganda. It’s almost like you’re happy when more of the unvaxxed die!
How’d that feel Mish? To be labelled as someone who cheers the deaths of the unvaxxed which I’m sure isn’t true but hey, it’s all about the labelling these days?
A bet with a Kook is no bet at all.
…and then he was attacked for not being body-positive by the left :/
You seek out data to support your preconceived idea, not to mention to support the decision you made, because anything to the contrary will destroy your decision and make it a poor one, something you cannot live with. If you would take the time to read, and I mean read and read and read, not just a single article, but dozens, you’d realize that a.) the death rate isn’t sufficient to justify the opting to take the jab and b.) the side effects already seen and the likelihood of issues to be seen, further degrade the logic of taking the jab. The data you have used can be refuted by large studies in places like the UK (entire healthcare system is nationalized, and thus all the data is passed to the main data bank). Denmark as well. Not to mention, do you have any idea at this point of the majority of jab-takers can even develop immunity to C19? 89 cruise ships abroad with mass breakouts of the virus among a fully jabbed group. What if the only people that can achieve immunity is the un-jabbed and thus we eventually become the reason C19 stops ravaging the populace at large (we act as fire breaks)? What if another strain comes along and continues to infect you guys, and no matter the total number of boosters shots taken, you still continue to get it and still have to quarantine? What if you don’t take boosters and not taking them creates more virulent strains? Sad to me the lack of foresight and deductive reasoning people possess. Anyone that tries to convince me they took that jab for any other reason than because they believed it was the easy way out is a liar. The difficult decision in this insane world we’re in (of followers) is to NOT take the jab, and THAT is the main reason most DO take it. The takers believed they could take that jab and voila, presto-chango, everything is fine and they can go about their lives and feel they did something great (when most have never done a single great thing).
the week of December 19-25, 2021, 6,340 infections were reported. There
were 451, or 7 percent, reinfections and 3,119 of reports, or 49
percent, were of unvaccinated individuals. There were also 48 deaths
reported in that same time frame.
among unvaccinated individuals, U.S. health officials repeated this
week.”
58% were fully vaccinated, according to statistics provided today by
State of Vermont statistician Erik Filkorn of Buildings and General
Services (BGS).”
Of course a pandemic is different from a war, but as I POINTED OUT when we look at the impact of a death event we can get a better idea of its overall effects on a society, and Covid is comparable to some of the most significant events in US history. And its impact is likely undercounted in the official number of ~800,000 as excess deaths are over 1,000,000 during Covid. And that is the largest death event in US history, and the fourth largest per capita. It’s the the Spanish Flu, but it’s the closest thing to it in the century since then.
We don’t need the self-righteous, high school hall monitors wagging their finger in people’s faces constantly. I’m not referring to you but Mish comes across like one as do so many others and they only see the stats which validate their fears.
