Sure, get vaccinated, then you don't get Covid-19 . . .

"How 350 vaccinated people caught COVID-19 in huge Cape Cod outbreak.
.
.
.
The report describes 469 COVID-19 cases in Massachusetts residents that were tied to the Provincetown outbreak. (Most of the other cases tied to the Cape Cod outbreak are from individuals living outside of Massachusetts.)

Of these, 346, or 74%, were fully vaccinated. About 46% had received the Pfizer vaccine, 38% had received the Moderna vaccine and 16% had received the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. Most breakthrough cases, 87%, were among men, with an average age of 42. (The authors note that the demographics of these cases likely reflect those of the people who attended the area's events, which "were marketed to adult male participants.")

About 80% of breakthrough cases experienced symptoms of COVID-19, including cough, headache, sore throat, muscle aches and fever, the report said. A total of five people were hospitalized, four of whom were fully vaccinated. Two of the four fully vaccinated patients had underlying medical conditions, the report said.

When health officials analyzed swab samples from 133 cases, they found that nearly 90% were infected with the delta variant. And when they analyzed samples from 211 cases, they found that the so-called CT value, a proxy value for viral load, was about the same among fully vaccinated people as those who were not vaccinated or partially vaccinated. . . .

Of course it will be locked: medicine and climate belong to the ballot box, not to labs and rational discourse. [8|]

As I know it's been said a million times, the vaccine does not prevent you catching covid. It prevents the person becoming so ill that they require hospitalization.

You get a flu shot, you can still get the flu.

Since news of the pandemic first reached me in the spring of 2020, I have done the following:
1. Quit eating out and bringing home food from the deli.
2. Stayed home except for necessary outings like doctor appointments.
3. Worn a KN95 mask on those rare occasions when I do go out and encounter other people.
4. Practiced social distancing.
5. Washed my hands after returning home, handling items from outside the home such as the mail or delivered packages, and frequently during the course of the day.
6. Been fully vaccinated against Covid-19.

I believe doing the above has prevented me from getting infected with Covid-19 and I hope my sharing will be helpful to others.

Certainly the most important thing in that article was mentioned last, so I'll post it again for the benefit of all those that don't read the whole thing.

proper ventilation and filtration may be even more helpful (SN: 5/18/21). In the mannequin study, researchers also placed two HEPA filters in various locations around the room. HEPA filtration cut exposure to airborne particles by 65 percent compared with no filtration and no masks. When all the mannequins were masked and the HEPA filters were on, the average particle concentration was reduced 90 percent.

Businesses need to focus on new ventilation systems. This should have been true since this crap first started. Money needs to be directed at this issue rather than elsewhere.

Why did you even start it?

Was it to keep the panic and hysteria going?

Remember that Fauci said that masks don't help - even when he knew that masks helped. So he is a liar. Just think, 60 percent of the white tailed deer in Michigan that they have tested so far have antibodies for Covid-19 - are all of those animals going to be killed?
