Its weakening big time. New variant so far is less deadly than the common cold. That’s what happens with virus’ like these. Unless we mess it up by putting out rushed and bad vaccines that alter the natural course of the virus.
Bad vaccines? Please. The vaccines are the scientific achievement of the 21st century. Nobel Prize. Countless lives they have saved.

Getting vaccinated means basically nothing. You still get it. You still transmit it. Unless you're old or obese or sick, you'll be fine.
Wrong. Vaccines greatly reduce severity of symptoms and risk of death. Please quit posting this nonsense that could get people killed.

You’re incredibly wrong on so many fronts. Sorry.

There is conclusive evidence already that the body will maintain a memory of sars cov 2 the same as sars cov 1. Which is at 19 years (it’s only been around 19 years).

Using words like immunity is a terrible idea. The vaccine don’t make you immune either.

omicron is already an epidemic of the vaccinated and will replace delta with 30-90 days.

as far as the kids, i was using the cdc wording. Not a single kid died of covid who didn’t have a severe terminal/life threatening condition already.

doesn’t make it any less sad, but just pointing out that vax mandates for that age group seem silly, when we have evidence of long term and possibly life time protection from covid.

which is rapidly become like other strands of the flu. The natural progression of these virus’.

It’s amazing g the same people who are worried about Mother Nature when it comes to CO2 production couldn’t care less about interfering or changing the mutation trajectory of a dangerous organism.
I would like to see any reputable source that said there was conclusive evidence of absolutely anything with Sara-Cov-2. In adults or children. It hasn't been around long enough for that. And while I won't argue (because no one can on either side) if the body has a "memory" of the virus it doesn't necessarily confer immunity. Just because you had the flu one year has no relevance as to if you may get the flu this year or next.
Also, how many are losing their lives from Omicon? How many from Delta? Yes, vaccinated are not immune from Omicron, but their death count is nominal compared to Delta. And as I stated, vaccinated may not be immune, but they aren't the ones in the hospital.
As to kids, If it were my child or yours, they still would be dead, and I wouldn't call diabetes, cancer, or an immune-compromised child a life-threatening state. Over 700 children under 18 have died. I don't care what their disease state was, they died too soon.
And as in life in general, there are worse things than death.
And, finally, and I won't post on this again, interfering or changing the trajectory would involve vaccination, to prevent further spread and mutations. I don't think 800,000 Americans that have died would agree with your premise. Whether you were 8 or 108 they still became ill or died.
I have been in health care over 40 years, and have spent a career studing many disease states, and I will tell you, unequivocally, I have never seen anything like this, and I hope I never will again.

Well, those “vaccines” sure are working as promised! Lol!!! 3 doses within one year, and the shots make you way sicker than CONvid would, and then they turn around and call the “side effects” CV-19!

Oh, and the “experts” now claim you can STLL catch CONvid and transmit CONvid after “fully vaccinate”, but be sure to keep up on your “boosters”, because it’s all about public health! Hahaha

None of this was EVER about a virus, just like I said back in March 2020, and most of you thought I was crazy, but I told you I’d be vindicated. So keep doubling down on having your intelligence insulted over and over again by these criminals, and that somehow all of this BS STILL makes any sense.

I never thought I’d see so much of BBN actively support the controlled demolition of this great country. Sad times indeed.
I had covid? 2 shots of the vaccine…..who ever said the shot was as bad as covid needs to be eliminated from earth.

Shame on you for mocking people who care enough about their fellow Americans to do what is needed to save lives. I was raised Christian, and I will continue to do what is necessary to protect those around me, no matter how much you try to insult my Christian values.
You're not a Christian, you're a judgmental nutjob.

Mrna was being studied. But not for this particular virus. That’s why omicron is an epidemic of the vaccinated. The virus changed the parts of the protein spike the vaccine was developed to teach your body to target.

a vaccine that does nothing to prevent infection after a few months. Can have far worse consequences.

they’re mandating it for children and the cdc’s own data is that kids under 18 have ZERO risk for death from covid. Unless they have cancer, etc…

Like sars-cov-1, previous infection of sars-cov-2 will give lifetime protection to it. Maybe not lasting immunity but subsequent infections will be nothing more than cold symptoms.

Immunocompromised people would benefit from the vaccine. We’ve nearly destroyed our economy. Almost there. Inflation will hit all time highs next summer and interest rates are about to get raised

You are wrong in so many ways. The primary need for a booster was that the interval between the 2 vaccines was too short. Normally you have several months between a series. But in order to get some degree of immunity in as many people as possible as soon as possible the decision was made to give them closer together. That is why there is a booster 6 months later, when the second dose would normally been given. In addition, I don't think anyone knows how long the immunity will last. But it is interesting that 99.7% of the current hospitalizations from COVID are unvaccinated, so the vaccine must have some effect.
In addition, being infected with Ears-cov2 will absolutely not give anyone lifetime immunity. No, nada.
As far as the kids, again, there is nothing that is Zero risk, to any one, at any age, at any time. The reason to vaccinate kids is so they won't get it and spread it to other people. And we truly have no idea about the long term effects of COVID. People are still showing lung and heart side effects a year after getting infected.

The real issue is that we have become a ME society. Its all about how it affects me, the heck with everyone else.

I had thought about posting a bit of a rant, but there really is no reason to, the people that have made up their minds, have made them up, and no amount of evidence is going to change that. But I will say that the ZERO risk in children without other issues are wrong. There have been healthy children buried from this virus. My wife, who is a medical provider, has seen it everyday for the past almost 2 years. She will tell you that age has little to do with it. Sure younger people are less likely to get extremely sick, but being young and healthy doesn't guarantee a mild sickness.

My wife, who is 40 years old, and my 4 children (ages 15, 12, 7, 18 months) all got it, but I did not. My wife and I are vaccinated. All my children are healthy children. My 15 year old had a headache for about 4 hours and that was it. My 7 year old had flu like symptoms for almost a week. My 18 month old was a little fussy for a few days. But my 12 year old battled it for almost 2 weeks, was dangerously close to being hospitalized, and still, 3 months later struggles to do anything that is the least bit strenuous because she can't breath. She hasn't been the same since she got it, and she still has trouble smelling certain things. My wife, who also was dangerously close to being hospitalized, finally broke through after about 8 days of battling it. She still has trouble breathing from time to time, she still cannot smell things correctly, and worst of all, she still has stomach issues to where she can barely even eat at night. Yes, they all survived and are living, but for 2 of the 5, their quality of life for the time being at least, has been drastically reduced. If you are wondering how they all had it and I never got it, it is because my wife put me to sleeping on the couch for 2 weeks and kept me at a distance from her and the children. My wife saw 30 COVID patients a day for a year and a half without bringing it home. Then her sister's kids gave it to my infant, which brought it home to the rest of my children. My wife, who is vaccinated, likely wouldn't have gotten it if it hadn't been for her taking off of work to keep the kids at home, and having to be so closely involved with my 18 month old. In fact, that is likely why my 12 year old daughter and wife had it the worst, as they are the ones that spend the most time with the younger 2. My 15 year old has been quarantining since about 6 months before COVID was even a thing.

But here is an interesting note, we have tested the antibodies in our children as well as my wife afterwards. The highest level of antibodies came from my 15 year old, which had very little in terms of symptoms. And the lowest level?? My wife and 12 year old daughter, who actually had it the worst. Also, the 18 month old, actually had some level of protection prior to getting it, as they tested him because my wife had been vaccinated and was nursing him at the time. Which also likely contributed to my wife's severity, as she was still nursing when she got it.

So, get vaccinated or don't, which ever you prefer, but for those of you who think there is no risk unless you already have a compromised health condition, you are wrong. It affects young and old, healthy and weak individuals. In my opinion, the severity of the disease is all going to depend on your viral load at the point of response from your body. Whether that viral load comes from an intake of viral particles (likely what happened to my wife as she cared for 3 fairly sick children that led to her getting it), or a lack of response allowing the virus to replicate within your body for a long time before a response is mounted.

And I hope UK gets to play UNC, just about any other game is not going to excite me much. UNC might not be that good, but for some reason, that game excites me maybe more than even OSU.

We might be as fans. But the universities have a responsibility to their students and their families, and to their state’s public health rules. Much bigger decision. You have rules around this stuff and can’t make exceptions for one big name school or big game.
The rules are stupid.

But I thought you can still get Covid and even give it to others even if vaccinated? I know I did. So have many others that I know. And aren't all these players already vaccinated? Bottom line, is that freedom to choose IS a thing. If u are vaccinated, and it truly works then why does anyone care what someone else's decision is? If it doesn't work, then why are we continuing to listen to the "experts" like Fauci when he really doesn't know. Remember early on he was saying NOT to wear a mask. Then it WAS wear a mask. Then for a short period of time it was wear TWO masks. It is ok for our medical and scientific community to not have answers and solutions to a totally new virus. Just quit B.S.ing everyone and making it political because that DOES make people question them. Talking down to them because they aren't "scientists" further exercerbates the issue. No, not everyone is a scientist, but a lot of folks have common sense and have the capacity to learn thru observation. The "better/smarter than thou" attitude of talking down to folks, calling them stupid, or guilting/regulating them into a forced submission to one groups hysteria (real or imagined) is NOT American. Why is it wrong to question the government that at one time said agent orange was safe, asbestos was fine, or lead based paint is not an issue.? They simply don't truly know at this point and time. They CAN'T yet know as not enough time has elapsed. Twenty years from now IF we find that there is some unforseen negative impact to one's health due to the vaccine, then what? Live and let live I say.

Many were hospitalized, yes. Some are still dealing with long term Covid issues.

If the 40% of obese adults in the US would actually make healthy decisions and not constantly engorge themselves then the rest of us that are healthy wouldn't have to be stuck on this train ride to hell. It's well documented that covid 19 absolutely wrecks the obese yet here we are, forced to huddle up in fear with experimental gene therapy because Joe and Jane can't keep their caloric intake under 3000 calories for the day

Hell it's worse than I thought. 73.6% of adults in the US are now considered overweight. Thats 3 out of 4 of us on this website lol

I'm not keeping up - so there were two games, both of which are in jeopardy and they are trying to schedule the two schools , UK and UNC that aren't currently affected by Covid to get one game?

Are they just going to show 2 episodes of NCIS to fill in?

I felt 40% was pretty low from what I witness in public everyday. I don't understand how people can live like that. It can't be comfortable.

Well there's overweight and obesity. 3 out of 4 American adults are considered fat and at risk for severe covid complication. Obese is just the next step up.

I am curious the statistics on hospitalizations and/or deaths of healthy BMI 18-22 year olds without underlying conditions. My guess it's well below 1%. Do they keep these stats? Are we allowed to even ask these questions?

No....they are vaxxing 5-12 year olds. It's a cult of insanity and you are not allowed to question anything. Pure cult mindset.

With a possible rising of a new variant, Is it a concern too start happening more & impact the basketball season..

Will it start affecting players & programs for the upcoming Bowl Games & Playoffs?


Everyone has lost their GD minds. They’ll keep doing this as long as people cower in fear of the almighty Covid. I’m ready for whoever dies to die and the rest of us move on (and yes my gma died from Covid, it happened it sucks but I don’t want the world to stop for everyone’s grandma).
