Never works on the former, how do you keep out the latter? Two major vaccines were donated to humanity, but have you every been to the Salk Institute in La Jolla? What he didn't get in profits he surely got in donations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbphoto Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Maybe some good news: Dr Marc Siegel says that front-line doctors in Pittsburgh and New York are reporting covid-19 is getting weaker/milder the last few weeks. It's anecdotal, but if true, this would be the typical pattern of a virus over time. There were zero covid-19 deaths in NY the last 24 hours. Hopefully this holds. Also, Dr Fauci wants kids to go back to school in the Fall. If my kids are still home next Fall, I'm moving out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted on some anecdotal in a link regarding Italy and one or two saying the same thing about virus getting weaker. A page back or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humanity has always faced vermin and pathogens and we can be a resilient bunch. What we are witnessing is medical science stepping up to the task and our gov’t giving them the ability to muster their best efforts. I do appreciate your acknowledgment of human fragility and the perils we all face from outside influences. Use that to live a smarter life. Take good care of yourself and make healthy choices. There will be another Ebola, another AIDS and some new deadly critter and if nothing else humanity will go down fighting whatever threatens our existence.

So, in your opinion which seems an educated one, is the virus less likely to spread for the protesters/rioters/looters than it was for those wanting to open the country/economy a few weeks ago? Apparently 1000+ people in the medical field feels this way in the form of a signed letter and under no circumstances should any hot spots be blamed on any particular city where mass gathering were held for the last 7-10 days. So by affiliation is protesting a form of vaccine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So by affiliation is protesting a form of vaccine? Oh no.......... the folks gathering in the mass demonstration crowds are just as vulnerable, if not more so - to covid19. On the upside they’ve placed themselves in the role of ‘guinea pig’ for covid19. Think about it.......... if science WANTED hordes of people to participate in a high risk behavior scenario to study covid19 there would be righteous disapproval. Such a study would not ever pass a human research ethics committee. These souls have done this on their own and now we’ll get to observe how it all turns out. On the downsides there are no controls over these people. They do as they decide, go where they choose and damn the consequences. So we will learn some things about covid19 but there will also be unwanted ‘spill over’. Kids and seniors will likely get exposed and innocents not involved with their issues will suffer, some will die. But it is what it is and the worst of it all is the media that seems supportive of the continued activity. Sad times in deed and in fact. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richieb Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 If 1000+ medical professionals signed such a letter does it go to say 10, 20, 100 times as many would feel totally opposite that this is indeed foolhardy, as much or more so as the open the country crowd. Three weeks ago those crowds were condemned by doctors/nurses saying they were seeding the vaccine and to look for another round of overrun hospitals. Amazing they don’t feel this about the tens of thousands gathering for nearly two week straight. Somethin’ just doesn’t pass the smell test here. But I do smell something— . Hell, they may as well open all sports to spectators at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So your answer is: “Only” 1,200 ‘supposed’ medical professionals signed this letter and the liberal media is highlighting it because it fits their narrative. And I’d wager than most of those ‘supposed’ professionals are not doctors or nurses. Stop believing the hype. You seem smart enough to know whose driving agendas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, that hype is beyond believing and my posts were a tongue-in-cheek attempt to show that both the Covid and protests narrative is purely political at this point. This was my attempt to keep politics out of the Covid thread but the aforementioned “letter” makes that truly impossible.
