So you mean to tell me that the vaccinations actually work again the wuflu and aren’t just some excuse to implant a 5G DNA altering chip in me to mind control me to worship satan?! Shit!

Things must REALLY be improving if MSM could not find a way to spin this positive into some manufactured ongoing gloomy outlook.

You know they are trying.

Tell your friends to go get vaccinated, Kingfish. They aren't afraid of taking that little blue pill, they shouldn't be afraid of a Vaccination.

What’s the point in getting vaccinated? If the vaccines really work, then why do vaccinated people still have to wear masks everywhere and social distance? For some reason no one can answer that question. And now Pfizer says two shots might not be enough?! They say you might need a third shot and a shot every year?! For something that, unless you have an underlying condition, you might not even know you have?! And everyone knows the number of deaths is being grossly overstated. If you were shot to death and tested positive for covid they’d count it as a covid death.

The number of presumed positive coronavirus cases in Mississippi continues to rise.

I am f*cking amazed that a rational, balanced, logical and scientific approach to easing restrictions and re-opening, while rolling out a well-run vaccination program, could work. The demented democrat-in-chief said we were neanderthals.

" If the vaccines really work, then why do vaccinated people still have to wear masks everywhere and social distance?"

Because even though mRNA vaccines are 95% effective at preventing severe illness and very effective at preventing you catching it, you can still catch it and spread it. Also, everyone isn't vaccinated yet. Like kids and teens.

"And now Pfizer says two shots might not be enough?! They say you might need a third shot and a shot every year?!"

The third shot is a booster shot. There is a chance that the shot might be yearly, but it's not known yet. Nothing uncommon since yearly vaccinations for Flu happen every year.

"And everyone knows the number of deaths is being grossly overstated. If you were shot to death and tested positive for covid they’d count it as a covid death."

This has been proven time and time again to be false. It's also very old. Almost as old as the "Flu kills more people than Covid" bs... Y'all gotta start reading more and not just blogs or books without barcodes lol

Unfortunately Theca, folks like @ 9:33am will never go away. They’ll get Covid and be fine, and the use their anecdotal experience to justify the claims of “it’s just a cold, I’ve had worse hangovers off Natty Lite.” Folks like them are a large reason why almost 600k have had to die in the US from complications caused by the virus.

I am so glad we've returned to the drama of this Covid shit. I was beginning to think it was just going to fade away.
"Folks like them are a large reason why almost 600k have had to die in the US from complications caused by the virus." You should post the link supporting this claim. I happen to believe Dr. Theca Jones of the Roguish Gent Podcast, Esq. He/She/It says they know all, well damn't, they must.
I must also say that using 600,000 US deaths being so called directly due to Covid 19 is only what 0.17% of the population. Never having seen a clear definition of a so called Covid death I have to wonder what else is lumped into those numbers and how many of those souls would be dead anyway. I don't know, but I'm glad that those that have been inoculated will now live forever, at least that's what it appears we are being told.

@9:59 am - "Because even though mRNA vaccines are 95% effective at preventing severe illness and very effective at preventing you catching it, you can still catch it and spread it. Also, everyone isn't vaccinated yet. Like kids and teens."

You mask police people are so damn stupid and exactly why you are so damn easily brainwashed by media. Masks do virtually nothing to prevent the spread of Covid. The CDC's own study on mask mandates and the spread of Covid, released on 3/5/21, show that a county wide mask mandate within the US only reduced the number of CASES by 1.8%. 1.8% percent is within the margin of error of the study. Here's a link, don't take my word for it, read it for yourself but I'm sure you won't if it isn't coming from a carefully chosen "expert" on CNN or MSNBC - https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7010e3.htm

Gee, I wonder why that study didn't gain traction in mainstream media? So, quit being a gullible moron and start questioning the propaganda you are consuming.

Well whatta ya know about that Neanderthal thinking?

@10:41
You will never sate the fear of the Chicken Littles. They want to be dominated and controlled. It is the conditioning for submission of every loyal Democrat. The State is Father, Mother, and God.

Obey or be labeled!

@ 10:41

Never called my masked police. Someone asked why we are still masking, and I gave the explanation.

Also, did you read that study?

"Mask mandates were associated with statistically significant decreases in county-level daily COVID-19 case and death growth rates within 20 days of implementation. Allowing on-premises restaurant dining was associated with increases in county-level case and death growth rates within 41–80 days after reopening. State mask mandates and prohibiting on-premises dining at restaurants help limit potential exposure to SARS-CoV-2, reducing community transmission of COVID-19."

The same 1.8% you mentioned is being called a statistically significant decrease. That doesn't really help your argument... Also, aren't cases the metric we are going by considering this post is about Hospitalizations?

Now anyone who wants a vaccine 16 and over can get one. The vaccine for covid is the end of the road. It is the best we have available to prevent catching and dying from covid. There is nothing else that will offer you the chance to go back to your normal life. If you are old and have underlying health issues even if you have had the vaccine, you need to take care of yourself. Maybe still wear a mask, social distance, and stay home more, but don't expect those of us who have been vaccinated to take care of you by continuing masks,, etc. Unless masks are required at places/events most people are not going to wear them. If you have not had the vaccine, well........I sure hope you are very healthy and never get covid.

Even though I have been vaccinated, I will probably where a mask in indoor settings and certain large outdoor settings during flu season going forward. Between better hygiene and mask wearing from the masses, I have not had a cold in at least 16-17 months. I know my situation is anecdotal, but it is enough for me going forward to continue wearing a mask in certain settings.

@10:41am - Mask mandates don’t work when misinformation influences bubbas like yourself to not wear a mask. If enough people don’t wear them, then of course masks don’t work...

Just like seatbelts don’t prevent you from going through the windshield in a wreck if you’re not wearing them. Sure, there are various severities of wrecks, and in many cases a seatbelt may not make a difference, but you still wear them. Same logic with a mask and an airborne viral pandemic. Unfortunately, not wearing masks affects others, whereas not wearing a seatbelt only affects that person, unless you actually have people that care whether you’re here or not. Though I fear that may not be the case.

Well there is the chance of being killed or seriously injured from the vaccine. Since the CDC is up to around 2700 deaths in US on the VAERS database which anybody can go look at. Wow they paused J&J over a few blood clots when Pfizer and Moderna have about 2700 deaths between them. Check it out. You can find it on the CDC website, but have to dig a little as it is not user friendly.

You are wrestling with willfully ignorant people here.

I’m just saying some are trolls (put here by the troll farm owner and click cash recipient) and some are bully’s from behind their keyboard.

If you don’t want a vaccine please don’t take one and go to church every day. Live and breath life deeply. Enjoy all life has to offer in close proximity with all you meet.

That problem will solve itself

I respect your right to continue to mask 12:04. And to limit your exposure as you see fit.

I workout in a crowded gym and have everyday that the government allowed me to and I also have not been sick in over a year and never got Covid.

I did get the Vaccine because I am a relatively reasonable person and I make my own choices.

It would be a novel idea for us all to make our own choices and respect the choices of others.

I personally hope we both remain in good health, no matter the path we choose to obtain that goal.

And therein lies your fallout when dealing with a liberal 12:26pm. They won’t none of that for you. They won’t you to be wrong and die die die. They don’t want to debate reality. They don’t want to allow others to live their own lives. They want control control control. They want to control not only what you do but how you think. Always have and always will. It’s only going to get worse and worse until we stop it. It’s only a matter of how bad do we want the fix to be....how far will we let it go before really bucking?

12:26 here.
Sadly, you do seem to make a very valid point 1:15.

I do think the live-and-live mantra is lost on the libs in general, based on the prior year's festivities.

This is what we've done in this country over a virus that 98% of people will survive. Imagine the fun times in store for us when something bad comes around, like global warming.

To further prove my point, you double down while missing the forest for the trees and think 1.8% is statistically significant because - GASP! - the CDC says it is so, so it must be true.

The health authorities in this country massively failed because they refused to listen to frontline doctors actually working their asses off to find treatments that saved lives. Saving lives of the vulnerable should have been the goal, not satisfying weak betas such as yourself by manipulating you into thinking a mask will save lives. It worked though - you betas will die on the hill of masks working while never questioning why those health authorities were utterly inept at their jobs - saving lives - which I suppose was probably the goal. Well, only if poor ol Jane would have worn her darn mask so she would still be here with us.

Ponder why it is difficult to find legitimate medical studies determining the efficacy of masks of aerosol viruses prior to 2020. You seriously think the medical community has never studied mask effectiveness before?

What is your goal now? Wear 5 masks until their are zero cases? zero deaths?

@12:26

12:04 here. I ultimately hope that people keep up with the better hygiene, as I really think that it is making a huge difference in the lack of reported flu and cold cases this past season. As you stated, may we all stay healthy on our chosen paths.

I choose not to drink and drive, but everyone else should have a choice whether they want to drink and drive because it is there life right? And, after all, they have driven after drinking in the past with no problems.

Maybe Melvin the medical expert can share his expert opinions on reducing morbid obesity.
