Is this some kind of gotcha? I never said you couldn’t die after you’ve had covid. I said that natural immunity is roughly equivalent to vaccine immunity. In the same way that a breakthrough infection can kill someone, so too can a re-infection. But these are quite rare. 
 

You may be on to something here. 

How roughly equivalent are they? How many standard deviations?

I haven’t seen a good study. There is a US study that shows vaccinated patients are less likely than recovered patients to get covid but the overall number of cases in each cohort isn’t given, nor is incidence of severe disease/death. Also was done prior to delta becoming dominant strain and early on after most people’s 2nd dose.
 

There is at least one Israeli study that shows for delta at least, post infection immunity is better than Pfizer, although again it doesn’t give numbers on severe illness/death. Also I don’t think it includes boosters.

i love reading HermanCainAward subreddit every morning. nature is weeding out the dipshits. absolutely no sympathy. just really pissed the hospital system is overrun with these assholes. fuck them. let them die in their homes tweeting defiance right until the end and then loved ones can post the socialist plea on GoFundMe. they are all fucking punchlines.

i feel for the kids who die or have dipshit parents who die. they don't deserve that shit but neither does the heart attack patient who dies because he can't get to an icu bed. the whole situation if fucked up but i guess sometimes you have to spill some milk in order to kill off a lot of stupid motherfuckers.

here's a situation where some fuckstick convinced this old man to leave the hospital. no sympathy felt for the old man. if he's going to take the advice of some fuckstick over the advice of doctors, then yea he deserves his fate.

we need a tracker for people who encouraged their parents not to seek proper healthcare and/or get vaccinated...so the parents would hurry up and die and leave a modest inheritance to the children.  Who then turn around and donate a portion of that to Donald Trump.  You can match up the obituaries to the donations with a 90-day lag in between.

Think about how off the rails you have to be about your beliefs if they lead you to conclude the Pope is not Christian.  And it gets star after star.  Is Aggy just some fundy evangelical school now?

Is it just me, or do any of the rest of you hear Molly Hatchet's Flirtin' with Disaster when looking at this pic?

Not me.  I hear Iron Butterfly's  In-A-Gadda-Da-Vidda.    I mean, I know there's something there but it's impossible to explain.

So, yeah. Cool.
 

I hope I stumble across some of the morons that all of last year were saying to wait for the annual death totals, expecting them to prove that covid was taking the near dead and would-be flu deaths, plus hospitals/MEs recording covid as cod for everything because of some phantom money. 
 

I want to read how this MORE THAN NOTICEABLE AND ALMOST UNBELIEVABLE SPIKE in annual deaths is completely coincidental to covid arriving.

The belief that true Christianity is a fundamentalist belief system, and that Catholicism is evil heresy opposed to that and is an enemy among us, is not new.  At all.  Wanna know the literal standard-bearers of that belief?

This isn't hard, people.  Everything the MAGA crowd stands for already exists as an established set of beliefs.  And that set of beliefs wears white pointy hats.

Before the fracas developed last night, the discussion on various groups and the vaccination percentages, one group that isn't talked about a lot are pregnant women. Pregnant women in the age range of 18-49 are not well represented: only about 25% have received at least one shot. That's the national number according to the Texas Tribune and for the age group as a whole--61% are vaccinated (the Texas % is lower). It's having an effect as more mothers are ending up severely ill, hospitalized, and some are dying. This is one group where the fear factor looms large for so many reasons.

what's amazing about that first pic is in the number of people in the background not in hoods.

Brothers! Oh, brothers! We have all gathered here, to preserve our hallowed culture and heritage! We aim to pull evil up by the root, before it chokes out the flower of our culture and heritage! And our women, let's not forget those ladies, y'all. Looking to us for protection! From darkies, from Jews, from papists, and from all those smart-ass folks say we come descended from monkeys!
