    Crypto is a bet against the USD. You enjoy all the luxuries that come with having the preferred reserve currency, but you bet against it. 

    Not a moral judgment. Just explaining your bet. The humble describe the bet as a hedge protecting assets priced in USD. 

     

    We’ve talked about this before. I don’t want the USD to go down, that’s just what I see happening. It would be foolish of me not to plan accordingly.

    The USD is under assault by China, Russia and their ilk. Crypto also threatens the USD. If we lose our role as the world's reserve currency issue, this nation's economy will collapse. 

    The biggest things undermining the USD are American fiscal policy, military adventurism, and our overly aggressive use of it as a weapon. Crypto is a byproduct of these things.

    then boasted about how much better his antibodies are than vaccinated individuals now that he survived over a week in the hospital. 

    For my final post. let me start by saying for the 100th time, that the vaccines do work in preventing severe disease, and if you haven’t had covid before there’s not a lot of reasons for an American adult to not get the vaccine. 
     

    That said this is looking more and more like it’s the truth. From a favorite source of Med Twitter. 
     

    Does anybody here really think previous infection and recovery from Covid doesn’t confer better immunity than that against symptomatic infection? Please. And over a much longer timeframe. People should fret a lot less over what previously infected people are doing with their bodies. 
     

    Congrats @JesusSweatDuck you got me. Negged every post on every forum I had. Let the record show me posting a Cleveland Clinic study was the last straw. Certain data make people uncomfortable and angry here and I’m not sure why. I guess it’s the cognitive dissonance. Remove the source and remove your mental discomfort. Good bye now.

    Is it the best study because it says what you want?  
     

    why should anyone focus on one single study if many are available?

    I’m not focusing on one. Just keeping this brief and pointing out probably the “cleanest” one. This argument is tired.

  5. This is the best study I’ve seen on natural immunity and vaxxed vs unvaxxed. “Propaganda” from the Cleveland Clinic.

    Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate the necessity of COVID-19 vaccination in persons previously infected with SARS-CoV-2.

    Methods Employees of the Cleveland Clinic Health System working in Ohio on Dec 16, 2020, the day COVID-19 vaccination was started, were included. Any subject who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 at least 42 days earlier was considered previously infected. One was considered vaccinated 14 days after receipt of the second dose of a SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine. The cumulative incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection over the next five months, among previously infected subjects who received the vaccine, was compared with those of previously infected subjects who remained unvaccinated, previously uninfected subjects who received the vaccine, and previously uninfected subjects who remained unvaccinated.

    Results Among the 52238 included employees, 1359 (53%) of 2579 previously infected subjects remained unvaccinated, compared with 22777 (41%) of 49659 not previously infected. The cumulative incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection remained almost zero among previously infected unvaccinated subjects, previously infected subjects who were vaccinated, and previously uninfected subjects who were vaccinated, compared with a steady increase in cumulative incidence among previously uninfected subjects who remained unvaccinated. Not one of the 1359 previously infected subjects who remained unvaccinated had a SARS-CoV-2 infection over the duration of the study. In a Cox proportional hazards regression model, after adjusting for the phase of the epidemic, vaccination was associated with a significantly lower risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection among those not previously infected (HR 0.031, 95% CI 0.015 to 0.061) but not among those previously infected (HR 0.313, 95% CI 0 to Infinity).

    Conclusions Individuals who have had SARS-CoV-2 infection are unlikely to benefit from COVID-19 vaccination, and vaccines can be safely prioritized to those who have not been infected before.

    Summary Cumulative incidence of COVID-19 was examined among 52238 employees in an American healthcare system. COVID-19 did not occur in anyone over the five months of the study among 2579 individuals previously infected with COVID-19, including 1359 who did not take the vaccine.

    So, they took out a hunk of my colon two years ago - ‘cause Stage III - maybe IV cancer.

    Recently they found clots, often a sign of mets. So they want a repeat colonoscopy to look for mets. I just got a call from my hospital that Covid outbreak has cancelled my appointment. Not emergency enough.

    Fuck non-vexer/non-maskers

    Sorry to hear that. I’m surprised thought that they aren’t continuing outpatient procedures. They don’t take up in house resources and still make the hospitals money.

    I dont recall a logic-based rationale to refusing vaccination in this or any other thread. At least if improved health outcomes is the desired outcome.

    In people with natural immunity, yes it’s in this thread. I don’t want to muck up the thread with same tired discussion though.

  8. I thought I’d bump this thread to see if we could any other posters interested in doing a dynasty football league. Pasted description from the other thread. 
     

    If you haven’t played before, the basic premise and scoring is the same as standard (redraft) fantasy football, but you keep your entire roster year to year.  The league would start with a startup draft this summer where you draft your entire team up to whatever roster limit we set. You play the season and every year after the NFL draft there’s a rookie draft where teams pick the incoming rookies. It’s like nfl draft in that worst team gets 1st pick etc. 

    There’s more strategy and trading throughout the year because teams can trade rookie picks to get veterans if they’re in win now mode or sell off players to rebuild etc. It’s a lot more fun and engaging in that way, since it’s more like your own team year to year. 
     


    The last couple years we’ve gotten stuck at 8 interested members. If we could get 2 more we could at least have a 10 team league. The plan was $100 buy in annually, Superflex meaning you can start 2QBs. That makes the QB’s importance more in line with the real NFL. I’d commish the league through MyFantasyLeague and the funds would be handled through the League Safe website where winnings are released after approval of league members. DM me or reply to the dynasty thread if interested or have any other questions.

    Except so-called "natural immunity" isn't as good as protection from a vaccine

    https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7032e1.htm?s_cid=mm7032e1_w

    TLDR: In this case-control study, being unvaccinated was associated with 2.34 times the odds of reinfection compared with being fully vaccinated.

    I really don't understand the headspace where getting a free and easy shot in the arm is such a burden or traumatizing event. Unless you're a toddler. 

    Thanks for sharing. The holes in that study have already been discussed here as well as a rationale for still passing even if the 2.3x number is correct. I’m not here to rehash it.

    these stories are precisely why i keep trying to get @crimsonlonghorn to come on this thread and articulate his mindset of wrestling with whether or not he should listen to the doctors that saved his life over the course of a week in the hospital when they say he should get vaccinated...even after the fact.  the willingness to suspend anything resembling logic or reason is so overwhelming that i think we could all benefit from hearing it from one of our own community members.

    I imagine what he would tell you is that whatever reservations he had before about the vaccine, he still has them. Whether they make sense to you or I or not. And now that he has natural immunity he’s not looking to get it.

    Lol. Gee I wonder why he won’t come over.
