The Coronavirus Is Here Forever

  1. An important thing to remember is vaccines do not confer immediate peak efficacy and whatever peak efficacy is reached, quickly declines, as evidenced by the stated need for booster shots. Therefore, any claims of “X” protection of a vaccination are dubious at best. Further, any vaccine that suppresses one’s immune system may be beneficial against Covid, but not against other viruses or bacteria, for that matter. As we know, Covid is not the only infectious pathogen out there, right?

    That was a good one. Blahahaha. I really needed a laugh. You owe me a keyboard.

    Out of the people I know, 10 people have gotten covid.

    All of them over the age of 65 and they were all high risk with numerous other serious health problems.

    Luckily, every single one of them fully recovered within 2 weeks with no long term effects that have been noticed.

    I would encourage you to judge for yourself..... honestly look at posts here from covid deniers and anti vaxxers. Compare with criteria that YouTube Twitter and Facebook have published regarding covid misinformation. See?



    There's a reason that Twitter, Facebook and YouTube have content restrictions around user-generated covid content and misinformation

    Baron,

    You can contact me via private message for links to Covid misinformation posted here at Elitetrader.com, plus I have screenshots only because some of these individuals posting the information will strangely deny posting such.
    • Please don't delete this message.
    I'm preparing to go out for dinner right now with the family right now at one of our favorite restaurants that have been struggling financially in this Covid Pandemic.

    I can post the info to you in private upon my return.

    I hope to be able to continue here, you guys are like family. Occasionally dysfunctional lol, but fellow traders.

    Baron, in the interest of public safety I urge you to adopt a policy re covid posting similar to other social media platforms.

    I cannot financially nor in good conscience support a venue that permits posting related to covid that disagrees with CDC/NIH/US govt policies. I am confident other responsible sponsors agree.

    If you will not ban covid misinformation on your forum than discontinue my sponsorship immediately.

    Or, do the right thing. The industry watches.

    You want me to ban a user for posting misinformation but you won't give me any specific misinformation he's posted. In that case, the answer is no. I'm not banning him or anyone else based upon a request like that. That's ridiculous.

    Let's take a look at data on the percentage of vaccinated deaths, hospitalizations, and cases in the U.S. from a 24 States & D.C.

    Generally above 98% of the deaths in most states are among the unvaccinated.

    Similarly over 97% of the hospitalizations collectively are generally among the unvaccinated.

    Similarly well above 95% of the cases in most states are among the unvaccinated.

    And Turveyd, in regard to your posts here, it seems like you're on a soapbox about the vaccination stuff, which is somewhat annoying. There's nothing wrong with you having an opinion on the matter, but it seems like it's all you ever talk about. When I scroll through your recent post history, I'm not seeing very much trading talk at all, so I'm asking you to please dial it back a notch in the "jab" department because there's not a single person on this website that doesn't know where you stand on the matter. You don't need to restate your opinion 10 times a day on the same subject with more links and an aggressive tone. We get it.
