I don't know that anyone's noticed, but the whole process of adjusting to the pandemic normal has been fraught with fits and starts. It's as if it was the first pandemic we ever went through or something. Someone must've thrown out the playbook.
That's the problem, nothing about this "pandemic" should ever be viewed as "normal"

Did you see the Matrix? The machines tried to make a Martrix a nice place free of conflict and the humans wouldn't create any juice.
Classic overhype. Half of the country buys the hype and the other doesn't.
Did you every explain for what happened in Brazil where Bolsinaro was for the policies you like?

Wrt covid19, the acquisition of antibodies via infection is not superior to vaccination.

Being vaccinated is superior to not being vaccinated, in terms of not becoming seriously ill or dying from covid-19.

The leading causes of death among police officers in the US last year was covig19.

Pretty sure Maher gets money when his videos are viewed, right? If that's how I made a living I'd probably say ridiculous sh!t also. The model is working great for a lot of talking heads.

Did Biden actually defecate in his pants? Where did all that come from?

Maher is 100% correct. Previously infected, assuming a certain threshold of antibodies, are not much different from the vaxxed in terms of risk profile. Many advanced industrialized countries are counting previous infection as the equivalent of vaccination for employment and travel purposes. You know, the same countries that people on the left love to look towards as an example of effective government provided health care :roflmao:

Funny how the ilk that was once so against corporatization are standing hand in hand with big pharma on this one :roflmao:

Making anti-bodies the accommodation for not getting the shot biases the people who will die as a result of not getting the shot and getting covid.

The key to make this strategy work was everyone sucking it up and taking one for the team.

It's really not that much of a contribution to ask of individuals who are benefiting from a functional society.

As everyone knows America has gone full retard.

We get what we get.

Why are antibodies good enough for the EU and Israel but not us :unsure:

Maher is not 100% correct. (which makes you not 100% correct). If other countries want to put immunity from having been infected in the same group as those having received a vaccine is up to them. But the two groups have different levels of immunity.

Why is it good enough for these countries, many of which we look to as an example of better health care systems, but no good enough for us :unsure:

True statement. Immunity from infection is superior to immunity from vaccination.

Post the link with this info and my posting days here are over

"cases in the vaccinated group (n=238, 1.5%) were 13 fold more likely to experience a breakthrough infection than the natural immunity group"

"There were very few hospitalizations in either group with only 21 in the vaccine arm and 4 in the natural immunity arm"
