Everyone with any understanding of the word “political” recognizes that every time you (you in particular) mention COVID you are doing so in a coded political context using basketball as an excuse for your comments time and again and again. You’re doing nothing but dividing the board only to come back with your it’s abut basketball bs. You’re totally transparent.
8 billion vaccines have been given in the majority of the 190+ countries world wide.
Which country's government dilemma are you referring to?
Tryina is not a word…F***** guy is tryina duck the game. You gotta be kidding me.
It is on recruiting twitter hahaTryina is not a word…
Probability is difficult.All of them. You're proving the point. If that many countries have the jab and it's still spreading like wildfire, it's not a vaccine. So why boost?
Probability is difficult for morons.
“If people still die in car accidents while wearing seatbelts, why wear them?” says @Caliknight and other people with sub-90 IQs.
No. What are you talking about?So your argument is since more people are vaxxed more will get Covid? Genius take.
Pretty sure I’ve already had it. I might get it again. I’m not sure how that’s relevant.IQ is much higher. As tested.
You know you lost the Covid argument when you have to go to seatbelts. Hope you have a plan. You are going to get Covid. Probability? Soon.
Wouldn't it be smarter to tweak the current MRNA vaccines to the current strains in order to increase the neutralizing effect rather than push boosters every 3 months that are based on the original (long extinct) variant?? I thought this was the big sell on MRNA; that things could be tailored on the fly as the situation sees fit.
My firm just went all virtual again after 35 of ~250 fully vaccinated people caught COVID at a conference in Vegas 2 weeks ago.

I had a thread up about it in January 2020 and even numbers disagreed that it would be a major event back then, believe it or notWe should go back to March-April 2020 and look up what the eternally wrong stooges like Cali and his ilk were saying about COVID back then. Would be good for a chuckle.
Hawk is talking out of his arseFYI - NYC doesn't have a vaccine mandate for players on visiting teams, only teams that are based there. Get the facts straight.
Yeah, he was right.We should go back to March-April 2020 and look up what the eternally wrong stooges like Cali and his ilk were saying about COVID back then. Would be good for a chuckle.
That's interesting to me, because Omicron and every subsequent variant is going to lower the neutralizing effect further until it basically hits zero (it may have already come close to zero with Omicron). If Omicron ends up being as mild as reports may indicate AND becomes the dominant strain worldwide we'll have to reevaluate public health policy as we can't keep having draconian measures if symptoms evolve to where hospitalizations are few and far between.As I understand it, not necessarily. The way virus evolution works, a vaccine against the initial strain is more likely to provide cross-variant protection than a vaccine engineered for a specific Variant like Omicron.

The big positive out of South Africa so far is the mildness across all ages within the unvaccinated population.
What does being vaccinated have to do w this?They're not ducking the game, they're just somehow in a Television age of games that impacts ticket sales and advertising revenue, throwing money out the window, because they have players and/or coaches unvaccinated.....

Sorry over my head. Who are you referring to. Thanks.If only I knew someone who helped develop one of the most promising COVID treatments, I could have him share his advice and people could be more informed.
What is your point? Vaccinated people can still get Covid and its variants. (I know from personal experience.) They are testing healthy players without any signs of Covid, and because the new variant is highly contagious with mild symptoms, players are testing positive.The Big East tournament is not a one time visit.....maybe I am wrong on what that is interpreted as in comparison to the silly NBA rules for visitors vs Kyrie Irving....if you are "performing " or working, not talking out of anything.....
And again, since I rarely touch the topic, but everyone wants to make an excuse for not getting vaccinated, when it has never been about what the longer term items are of having to be boosted etc....
It has or always has been about legal issues and limit of liability.....somehow SHU unvaccinated players knowing you have to "perform" at MSG or NYC for Iona, St John's and MSG for Big East tournament......LMAO
We played a NCAA tournament last year and it makes no sense for some schools and universities to take the necessary steps to limit liability for the greater good of keeping a schedule intact......while some can just do whatever they want.......especially if it can be avoided..........only would a SHU fan try and justify its OK for themselves or their players to have games canceled.....
The smarter thing might have been to not send people to a conference in Vegas.Wouldn't it be smarter to tweak the current MRNA vaccines to the current strains in order to increase the neutralizing effect rather than push boosters every 3 months that are based on the original (long extinct) variant??

Don't know. But IMO it's not now. As we have seen, there are many alternatives to in-person business meetings and events. Not ideal, but there's no critical need requiring companies to expose employees to potentially harmful situations.So when is that safe..2030? Serious question?

Yes positively the vaccinated can get the virus. People with booster shots ( yours truly) and also those who had the virus already will most likely get infected again. The shame is those that should be admitting those facts don’t. Simply because “ it’s all about the Benjamins. “ we listened to all the quackery BS … followed the science… yet the STSTEM is still F ‘d up.What is your point?

It’s very highly transmissible. The virus mutates. The next one could be worse.I am on the most opposite spectrum politically compared to BAC and Cali.......
I am finding it very hard to understand why we are treating "COVID 3.0" like we treated "COVID 1.0" Maybe I need more data/information. "COVID 3.0" to the vaccinated appears to slot somewhere in between the common cold and flu and doesn't appear worthy of shutdowns.
What I don't know/understand is what the repricussions of a ton of vaccinated people getting COVID to any future strains? IS there value in reducing infections of Omicrom to minimize a worse variant.
I need to be corrected if I am not logical here or missing something.
