My 38 year old daughter and her 39 year old husband and 5 and 3 1/2 year old kids just returned from a two week ski trip in Whitefish Mt and the next day took a test that showed they'd had COVID... with barely a sniffle. Now both adults had been double jabbed and boosted and the 5 year old had had one jab. The 3 1/2 year old was virgin.
I'm also double jabbed and boosted and walk around Michigan maskless without a care in the world.
I fear traffic on the freeway far more then this disease.
order of 1,600/day...but 'Delta' was still the primary cause...now Omicron is 98.3% of cases and the death rate is 2,672/day...could still be some lagging Delta deaths, but because the new variant is so transmissible, all those tens of millions of unvaccinated folks are in real peril...btw, the current daily rate would amount to 975,280 per year...tell us when it begins to get your attention.
Good for you and your family getting vaccinated...but your 'Myopia' seems to have reached the "Stage 4" level....EVERYONE is involved when it comes to spreading the virus...stay in the game and be a team player (i.e. masking when advised).
What, maybe 25-50% of the population must have been exposed by now.
My daughter (12 and unvaxxed) just tested positive. She has very mild symptoms, mild headache, mild sore throat and mild fever. Symptoms that wouldn't have kept her home from school in normal times and indeed she wants to go.
Wife (vaxxed) also has very mild symptoms, I don't have any symptoms, but we both sent in tests today. So we'll see. I am actually hoping I test positive as getting it out of the way without symptoms seems ideal.
I've been saying since the beginning that everyone was probably going to get exposed, Omicron is just accelerating this increasingly undeniable truth. And it's probably good. There are two paths to herd immunity and it's becoming increasingly clear that our current vaccines aren't going to be the primary path. So invite your friends over for a pox party.
sorry for the graphic picture, but that is what you're advocating...just because your family escaped tragedy, doesn't negate what is actually happening to those other "statistics"...stay the course...speak out for vaccinations...help stop the spread by wearing your mask...follow the DATA before unilaterally declaring "Victory" over a pathogen that could "care" less.
Everyone who was going to get vaccinated has by now. I'm not planning to get boosted since I got terribly sick after my second Pfizer. People have freedom to make bad choices and that's fine. The best thing that can be done now is to educate and encourage people to live healthier. Vaxxed or unvaxxed, this would make the biggest difference in both CoVid outcomes and otherwise.

As you probably know, I'm Pfizer-vaccinated and boostered as part of the Pfizer trial. Having said that, while we know the vaccines are effective now, I do have concerns about negative long-term consequences as outlined by Dr. Robert Malone, Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Michael Yeadon. Yeah, I know they've been "debunked" by mainstream science, but you can't debunk a prediction.
I'm not saying they're right and hopefully they aren't, but I do have my concerns.
It covers the entire infection process in considerable, but fairly easy to understand, detail...in it you'll find this section that deals with Hydroxychloroquine
"The virus’s speedy entry using TMPRSS2 explains why the malaria drug chloroquine didn’t work in clinical trials as a COVID-19 treatment, despite early promising studies in the lab10. Those turned out to have used cells that rely exclusively on cathepsins for endosomal entry. “When the virus transmits and replicates in the human airway, it doesn’t use endosomes, so chloroquine, which is an endosomal disrupting drug, is not effective in real life,” says Barclay."
This is essentially what I was trying to communicate with you earlier (re: TMPRSS2)...now you know the full story...glad to help...
P.S. You should know by now that "Nature" is one of the most respected sources of medical information.

As Drs. Zelenko, Risch, Fareed and others pointed out, it must be paired with zinc and azithromycin.
I have read every source you have provided me, and I really wish you would return the favor. Harvey Risch is more than willing to write you back if you email him at harvey.risch@yale.edu. He has answered every email I have ever sent him. He also sent me an extensive research paper he wrote which, so far, you have refused to read.
can't either...
So you now acknowledge that HCQ doesn't and can't work...that's real progress...now just stop trying to breath life into a corpse.
You need all three to have an effective treatment.
Until you read Dr. Risch's entire paper, you have zero credibility to say HCQ is worthless. Send me your email address and I will email it to you.

Not only is hospitalization and death an undesirable scenario for most people, responsible citizens take steps to protect their community and medical professionals from being overwhelmed with hospitalization and death.
You did everything you could, but the vaccines aren't preventing transmission, especially with Omicron. Stop spreading misinformation.

the authors of the linked study specifically address 'Zhang, et al', due to the implications of their 'hypothesis'.
Hope this helps you, and any others you may be working with on all things COVID.

And millions of us 3-4 years from now start having medical problems that will make Covid look like a picnic?

good grief...and Mark uttered the words "common sense" not that long ago.
