Please read more carefully. The vax does not work for this person because of the immunosppressent drugs he has to take to stay alive. His lifesaving drugs cancel out the vaccine.
There are many like him.
If he was taking drugs that "cancelled out" the vaccine...just why did he get not one, but 4 different jabs? Seems like an expensive waste if the were not effective for him. Selfish or what?
Please get get vaccinated, if not to protect you, to protect everyone else around you
I personally know, at least, 20 transplant patients that are friends and family. And, had 40-50 patients that were transplant patients when I was still in the pharmacy. I also know several people on high doses of immunosuppressants because of rare blood cancers
Please don't be stubborn, or selfish
More fear-based propaganda by CNN.
Why would any transplant patient risk going out into busy public spaces?
If you got a transplant, wouldn't you just stay home?
Transplant patients have been around for decades.
This is nothing new.
How many boosters are you willing to get to protect someone who is too stupid to protect themselves?
I mean these immune deficient people were around prior to 2020, did everyone worry about infecting them with the flu or common cold (coronavirus)? Did they hide in their homes back then too? There's always been something going around, that swine flu hit me pretty hard in 2010. But we didn't get all weird about it and try to make everyone comply with masks and vaccines like people are doing these days. We're going to have a whole generation of insistent germophobes.
It's like a generation of news junkies just discovered a new word.

Huh.
Followed by screeching and flailing to get the vaccine like a toddler tantrum, as if they care.
Miss Cleo's crystal ball I guess. But it sure isn't 10% as the poster I replied to indicated.
I'm just taking the total Covid deaths 65+ and dividing it into the total Covid cases 65+.
Absolutely, for a large portion of that population, it's a much lower figure. And for the remainder, it's a much higher figure.
They could tell us if they wanted. Tell us about the immune-compromised and Covid. Tell us about the aged and immune-compromised. Tell us about the aged with the most serious co-morbidities.

But they haven't, and seems they won't.
Well I got my number from OSHA. And they got it from the CDC so the government has the numbers.
You are missing comorbidities here. An 20 year old obese person is at higher risk of death then a healthy 70 year old.
And we have stats for those that died in 2020
5% ...covid only
95%...comorbidities with 85% of those 95% overweight/obese.
After reading through 7 pages I've come to this realization... all the same arguments rehashed in 50 other threads over the last 6 months with the same people taking the same sides except that one poster who faked being a liberal last fall (Sholomar's Cap) People aren't changing anyone's minds... those of us who favor compassion by means of masking up the population forever and mandating vaccines won't change their minds, and those who believe in natural selection, freedom, and the right to choose won't really change their minds.
Just hamsters in a wheel, all of us. Keep quoting Covid statistics all day long... the people who think 5 year olds should be vaccinated have made up their minds. Likewise the people who think the jabs will give us all AIDS have made up their minds.
If they really want people vaccinated, maybe approve the Covaxin inactivated virus vaccine in the US so the people who are mRNA vaccine skeptics have a choice. Belling finally picked up on this vaccine and is talking about the vaccine on his show right now.
There are a crap-ton of vaccines in trials right now.... as time goes on maybe we'll get some approved in the US that the vaccine skeptics will accept.
NOT at the same rates as unvaxxed. Please stop spreading misinformation.
You beat me to this post!
