Very bad news. More people died in Alabama last year than were born:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usa...amp/8400102002

State officials attributed this record to COVID deaths. This was BEFORE the Delta wave hit Alabama this summer. The total US deaths now exceed those of the “Spanish Flu.” States with low vaccination rates are being hit hardest. I have a feeling this winter will be a bad one for the unvaccinated.

Which is why we should be pushing the antibody treatment. If these people were sick enough to die, a vaccination wouldn't have prevented that. It might have reduced the chance, but not the eventual outcome. Less focus on prevention and more focus on treatment is necessary.

That's their choice.
If they want to risk it, so be it.

It's not governement's job to tell someone to put an exerimental vaccine - and one with very questionable effectiveness - after all it was sold originally as a way to stop Covid-19...now it's being sold as a way to lessen Covid-19 symptoms - into their body.

Yep! They're not counting breakthrough cases, so we are being lied to about the effectiveness against the Delta variant. Why aren't more people seeing through this BS?

It's just a bad cold, right? Or did that talking point finally get zipped into a body bag and rolled out on a gurney to a refrigerated container?

I can't because the CDC isn't counting but "a fraction of" breakthrough cases. We're not being told the whole truth about this. These vaccines aren't as effective with the Delta variant as they were with the Alpha variant. They will be even less effective with future variants, but we can't say by how much because our incompetent CDC isn't counting breakthrough cases.

I have no more proof to prove my point than you do to prove yours.

I’m disappointed that we haven’t had a Team Trump member call the numbers bogus yet.

It’s only page #1 though.

Don’t let me down, guys!
