Meanwhile...maybe 'ol Joe shouldn't have gone all in on Trumps vaccine.

Vermont, with the highest vaccination rate in the country — 88% of adults at least partially vaccinated & 79% fully vaccinated — is about to set a new high in COVID cases, just 3.5 months after Fauci said with 50% of adults vaccinated we wouldn’t see significant surges.

Whoops!

Natural immunity is coming for us all....just hope getting there doesn't kill you.

Speaking of which, Vermont COVID rates are falling, not "about to set

No, as the vaccinated have a more dependable immune response. Also, the
newly recovered COVID are more likely to be contagious than the
never-ill vaccinated.

https://www.kxan.com/news/national-news/cdc-finds-unvaccinated-11-times-more-likely-to-die-of-covid/

New U.S. studies released Friday show the COVID-19 vaccines remain
highly effective against hospitalizations and death even as the
extra-contagious delta variant swept the country.

One study tracked over 600,000 COVID-19 cases in 13 states from April
through mid-July. As delta surged in early summer, those who were
unvaccinated were 4.5 times more likely than the fully vaccinated to get
infected, over 10 times more likely to be hospitalized and 11 times more
likely to die, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

That number is simply meaningless because people who don't get hospitalized
are often not getting tested.
My vaxxed wife went to urgent care and they said she had covid but only offered a test.
She declined. Any idea if her case was recorded? I doubt it.

over 10 times more likely to be hospitalized
This is true....but it also lends to the premise that vaxxed but not hospitalized
cases are escaping. I wouldn't be surprise if the actual case rate is nearly identical
but the less severe vaxxed cases have a much higher rate of escape from detection.

Exactly. Their break through case rate is even lower.

Notice the media won't cover the Biden admin putting political pressure on FDA for boosters
but the torched Trump for suspected pressure that was never shown to be real to approve the vaccine.

Yeah...I looked up that report and their leap of conclusion is a little stretched.
Case group...all had covid and got it again. 246 cases.


Only 20.3% were fully vaxxed. So...sadly...that means 20.3% of people who had covid and got vaxxed can still catch covid again.
50 people. 199 got it again without the vaccine
WTF? That's not what the vax trials said. Were they all J&J?

In the control group (492)...all had covid and none caught it again yet. 34.3% (168) of them were fully vaxxed.
So that means 66% (324) of people who had covid don't need a vaxx to not get it again.

Feel free to explain how this mess of data lets them conclude that you're 2.34 times more likely to be reinfected
if you had covid and don't get vaxxed.

The control group was chosen because they weren't reinfected so I don't
see how that makes your point.

To say they didn't need need vaccination would require comparing the
control group to another control group.
Feel free to explain how this mess of data lets them conclude that
you're 2.34 times more likely to be reinfected if you had covid and

The 2.34 is "Estimated based on conditional logistic regression."

Thank you for acknowledging that Trump in fact pressured the FDA. You'll
find Biden's FDA also has possession of facts and has shown themselves
capable of not being rushed into a decision whether or not the rest of
the world wants faster action.

Such complete BS. Every nation has it's own situation.
Korea burned by SARS so they had an aggressive response.
But look at 'em now....2000 cases/day.
Vietnam had no data collection, no testing...so who the hell knows?
New Zealand, like Australia had limited early exposure and as an island was able to effectively
defer infection with travel bans and quarantines etc.
Australia couldn't maintain and I doubt New Zealand will either.

Not according to the Kentucky study; "In this case-control study,
being unvaccinated was associated with 2.34 times the odds of
reinfection compared with being fully vaccinated."
Yeah...I looked up that report and their leap of conclusion is a
little stretched. Case group...all had covid and got it again. 246
cases.
That's how they were selected.
Only 20.3% were fully vaxxed. So...sadly...that means 20.3% of
people who had covid and got vaxxed can still catch covid again. 50
people. 199 got it again without the vaccine WTF? That's not what
the vax trials said. Were they all J&J?
They can only report what they observed. They were selected for
confirmed reinfection, then broken down by vaccination status.
In the control group (492)...all had covid and none caught it again
yet. 34.3% (168) of them were fully vaxxed. So that means 66% (324)
of people who had covid don't need a vaxx to not get it again.
The control group was chosen because they weren't reinfected so I don't
see how that makes your point.
Apply that logic to the case group..

To say they didn't need need vaccination would require comparing the
control group to another control group.
Feel free to explain how this mess of data lets them conclude that
you're 2.34 times more likely to be reinfected if you had covid and
don't get vaxxed.
The 2.34 is "Estimated based on conditional logistic regression."
Again, I await your detailed explanation.

pressure that was never shown to be real to approve the vaccine.

vaccines, it is still a big, old, slow turtle. Get the dam vaccines

Yup, but the circumstances were very different. They had the data.
Trials were done. FDA didn't meet for weeks to decide. They needed a

and they actually said they didn't approve the booster for low risk groups for a lack of data.

"experts" react accordingly and accomplished nothing but
economic mayhem.
Really? Early response worked in such disparate places as New
Zealand, South Korea and Vietnam proving that scientific
models can work.
Such complete BS.
No. Facts.
Who needs 'em when you dig your own hole every time. "Delta was bad
for Vietnam"
How is that digging a hole? Vietnam had COVID well-handled until the
delta variant showed up. You're also repeating the "no testing" fallacy.

Every nation has it's own situation. Korea burned by SARS so they
had an aggressive response. But look at 'em now....2000
cases/day. Vietnam had no data collection, no testing...so who
the hell knows?
Delta was bad for Vietnam, but if there was no data how do you know
there was an increase?
Discounting Korea because they knew what to do seems like it goes
against your argument that the experts had it wrong.
They did as well as could be done in an open society. 300,000 cases
and climbing.
No way a cumulative counting won't be climbing. How does 300,000 compare
to the US 42m?

And they're alarmed at 2,000 deaths. We're on the way to a

New Zealand, like Australia had limited early exposure and as an
island was able to effectively defer infection with travel bans
and quarantines etc. Australia couldn't maintain and I doubt New
Zealand will either.
New Zealand is going all in on vaccination and still has effective
test and tracing. Why wouldn't it work?
Perhaps there it will...not a very densely populated island nation.
They'll have to deal with the conditions as they find them.
Post by MiNe109
Australia's below forty deaths per million, so "couldn't maintain"
should be seen in relative terms.
They were lucky that covid didn't strike them when treatments were
non-existant. Everyone is enjoying a much lower case fatality rate
now. Countries that were hit early were hit hardest. That's the
simple truth.
Australia has just over one thousand dead and it's easier to treat
someone who hasn't caught COVID.

over 10 times more likely to be hospitalized
This is true....but it also lends to the premise that
vaxxed but not hospitalized cases are escaping. I
wouldn't be surprise if the actual case rate is nearly
identical but the less severe vaxxed cases have a much
higher rate of escape from detection.
Not surprised but also not supported by evidence.
What part of "escape from detection" is confusing you now?
Lack of evidence is not evidence.
You are so stuck in your box. Do juries only free people when
they have proof of innocence?
They don't convict because they "wouldn't be surprised" if there
was evidence they haven't seen because of "escape from detection."
Do you think failure to find a viable animal host is "lack of evidence"?

End quote.
how typical it said nothing about those with natural
immunity
Exactly. Their break through case rate is even lower.
Not according to the Kentucky study; "In this case-control
study, being unvaccinated was associated with 2.34 times
the odds of reinfection compared with being fully
vaccinated."
Yeah...I looked up that report and their leap of conclusion
is a little stretched. Case group...all had covid and got it
again. 246 cases.
That's how they were selected.
Post by ScottW
Only 20.3% were fully vaxxed. So...sadly...that means 20.3%
of people who had covid and got vaxxed can still catch covid
again. 50 people. 199 got it again without the vaccine WTF?
That's not what the vax trials said. Were they all J&J?
They can only report what they observed. They were selected for
confirmed reinfection, then broken down by vaccination status.
Post by ScottW
In the control group (492)...all had covid and none caught it
again yet. 34.3% (168) of them were fully vaxxed. So that
means 66% (324) of people who had covid don't need a vaxx to
not get it again.
The control group was chosen because they weren't reinfected
so I don't see how that makes your point.
Apply that logic to the case group..
They looked at a group of the reinfected and measured their
vaccination status.
1/5 of the them were vaxxed and got it again anyway.
Of the reinfected, 4/5 weren't completely vaxxed. Works both ways.
These vaccination numbers within the groups seem pretty random and
aren't a clear definitive factor in outcome.
Less vaccination: more reinfection. Not random. Outcome not measured.

To say they didn't need need vaccination would require

Post by ScottW
Feel free to explain how this mess of data lets them conclude
that you're 2.34 times more likely to be reinfected if you
had covid and don't get vaxxed.
The 2.34 is "Estimated based on conditional logistic
regression."
Again, I await your detailed explanation.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditional_logistic_regression
Yeah...I don't understand it either. Seems to be completely driven
by the size of the groups which was just based on convenience. Not
any validity of the sample representing the general populace. You
can do the fancy math and get a number. Do it again with another
convenient control and case group...and you'll get a different
answer.
There's a confidence level in the study, so that's not true. 95% so only
one chance in twenty you'll get a different answer.
Post by MiNe109
I don't have the statistics training to understand or explain it
but the section about conditional likelihood seems relevant.
I'm going with the epidemiologist who says we're all going to get
covid multiple times if we live long enough. Eventually it won't be
any more severe than a common cold because we were all exposed as
kids when the reaction was mild and developed some resistance (I
think we need quit calling it immunity as that doesn't seem to be
possible).
There's no guarantee SARS CoV 2 will calm down any time soon. It's great
you have resistance to the common cold but that resistance is only good

Yup, but the circumstances were very different. They had the

This reduction in the number of infections rose to 90% as early as
seven days after the second dose. This means that one week after
the last inoculation, a person had ten times less risk of being
unknowingly infected and potentially transmitting the virus."
and pre-delta.
If this was true
Why wouldn't it be true? And how is it you're arguing that vaccines are
getting less effective but are against boosters that would restore the
effectiveness?

Reality is the pandemic was beyond containment before Fauci even
accepted human to human transmission.
Except it was contained in places with scientific responses.
BS. I don't think you can even define contained.
Excluded middle time.

Citing failure as proof of Trump's competence doesn't make sense.
Your complaining that Trump wasn't god.
I'd settle for him just being a person.

Your fact free claim amounts to claiming trump had a magic wand
of containment and wouldn't use it.
He had other wands he didn't use, but he was ready with the snake oil.
At least you admit you're talking about magic....
I spoke metaphorically and that's not what "admit" means.

Natural immunity is coming for us all....just hope getting there doesn't kill you.
https://www.kxan.com/news/national-news/cdc-finds-unvaccinated-11-times-more-likely-to-die-of-covid/
New U.S. studies released Friday show the COVID-19 vaccines remain
highly effective against hospitalizations and death even as the
extra-contagious delta variant swept the country.
One study tracked over 600,000 COVID-19 cases in 13 states from April
through mid-July. As delta surged in early summer, those who were
unvaccinated were 4.5 times more likely than the fully vaccinated to get
infected, over 10 times more likely to be hospitalized and 11 times more
likely to die, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
End quote.
how typical
it said nothing about those with natural immunity
Assume they're counted among the unvaccinated. Also, vaccinations
provide natural immunity by triggering the immune system.
