OK, hammer time. You earned it John (and the hammer does not fall here as such, I know you are not much concerned about your identity) .
Jem had a prior stance against vaccination and face mask wear...that they don't work and cause worst illnesses than the disease itself. Something changed his stance recently in that he's now moved to the high risk / immunocompromise should only be vaccinated. Now he doesn't believe in any type of mandates (vaccines mandate or face mask wear mandates for schools). I will assume he doesn't believe in vaccination passports by the Europeans that are now being required of Americans wishing to travel to Europe and he probably doesn't believe in vaccination passports nor recent Covid negative test to enter events. Yet, I saw his reluctance to acknowledge the facts in the Sweden thread when Sweden announced that Natural Herd Immunity experiment had failed, not acknowledging that Anders Tegnell was fully vaccinated, Swedish Health Public Agency were fully vaccinated, Sweden government encouraging their citizens to get vaccinated plus strict restrictions / curfews is the reason that Sweden's Covid numbers have dramatically declined. Yeah, once in awhile he'll pretend its all due to Natural Herd Immunity but not as much lately. Regardless, I'm curious to what has recently changed for jem to realize that > 90% of Covid Hospitalizations, ICU admissions and Deaths (rare) are by those that are Not Vaccinated here in North America ??? My guess, someone close to him, a friend or relative, recently was hospitalized with Covid and then developed a serious Covid illness to make him change his views "slightly" about vaccinations and the importance of wearing a face mask in indoor public places. Thus, it has nothing to do with any Covid data that many of us have recently been posting here at Elitetrader...it's something personal. wrbtrader
Any other subject, he can do what he wants but he is around 57 and not old enough to be excused by mental decrepitude. Its OK, he wants to be punished and humiliated really. The important thing is its delivered in a way he won't find gratifying, a proper shit sandwich buffet.
%% Good points. WSJ has a news story[9-14-21] on a NY Federal Judge weakening the vaccine mandate; many nurses quitting with a vaccine mandate...........
There are not many nurses and other medical personal quitting due to vaccine mandates. In most large health systems consisting of thousands of employees they are seeing at most a couple dozen refusing vaccination and leaving (or being forced out). If they are all nurses in the same department then there might be some short term sting. But where are these nurses going to go? Nearly every healthcare employer now requires new employees to be vaccinated before starting. The hospital executives and politicians are not budging on the requirement that healthcare workers be vaccinated for Covid. Note that healthcare workers are currently already required to have many other vaccinations. Most doctors and nurses don't want to work with unvaccinated medical staff -- they look at the removal of these foolish individuals from the workplace as a very positive move. And here is a message for healthcare employees who think they won't be required to be vaccinated... NY governor refusing to budge on vaccine mandate for nurses: You're replaceable https://www.yahoo.com/news/ny-governor-refusing-budge-vaccine-123248947.html
So I have another lefty trying to threatening to dox rather than dealing with facts here. You win.. I am out..
Again, lying. But it's OK, Jem will be back with a very considered and very sincere apology. Watching Free Guy tonight, the truth will set you free and all Jem. Maybe a few lives saved. And now, for the other covid disinformation nipple strokers. Any other subject guys.
Study: COVID-19 antibodies last longer, stay higher in those vaccinated after earlier infection November 2nd, 2021 People who got two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine following an earlier infection have higher antibody levels that last longer, a new Johns Hopkins Medicine study suggests. In a news release, Johns Hopkins said the antibody levels stayed more “durable” in those who got both jabs of the vaccine after a coronavirus infection when compared to those who only got the vaccine. The study looked at nearly 2,000 health care workers. “This finding adds to our understanding of how immunity against SARS-CoV-2 (the COVID-19 virus) works, and builds upon an earlier study by our team that showed the mRNA vaccines yielded a robust antibody response, even if a person did not develop significant symptoms following vaccination or did not have a prior SARS-CoV-2 infection,” study senior author Dr. Aaron Milstone, professor of pediatrics at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, said in the release. Researchers followed 1,960 Johns Hopkins Medicine health care workers who had received both doses of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines — both of which are messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines. Of those studied, 73 had a positive COVID-19 PCR test before their first vaccine dose. “We found that health care workers with prior SARS-CoV-2 infection followed by two doses of mRNA vaccine — therefore, three independent exposures to the S1 spike protein — developed higher antibody levels than those with vaccination alone,” said study lead author Dr. Diana Zhong, an infectious diseases fellow at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. “The relative differences were 14% higher at 1 month following the second vaccine dose, 19% at three months and 56% at six months.” Zhong also said participants with confirmed infection more than 90 days before their first vaccine “had adjusted antibody levels 9% (one month following the second vaccine dose) and 13% (three months following the second vaccine dose) higher than those who were exposed to the virus less than or equal to the 90-day mark.” “This suggests that a longer interval between infection and first vaccine dose may enhance the antibody response,” said Milstone, though he maintained further investigation was needed to determine if increased post-vaccination durability is attributable to the number of exposures to the virus, the interval between exposures, or the interplay between natural or vaccine-derived immunity. The research letter for the study is available on the Journal of the American Medical Association website. --------- wrbtrader
