Continuing to post false information WILL earn a suspension. The survival rate is NOT 99%. In addition to being false, who will get seriously ill, die or have long-term effects are not taken into account. https://apnews.com/article/fact-checking-970830023526 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE FACTS: As of July 23, there were more than 34.3 million known cases of COVID-19 in the United States and 610,370 deaths, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. That means the case fatality ratio -- or the portion of known cases that result in death in the country -- is 1.8%. In other words, on average, 98.2% of known COVID-19 patients in the U.S. survive. Because the true number of infections is much larger than just the documented cases, the actual survival rate of all COVID-19 infections is even higher than 98.2%. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as stated it is false, but more importantly it is misleading. The message is misleading. The average for the entire country cannot be used to calculate an individual’s chance of dying from the virus. The likelihood that a COVID-19 infection will result in death increases with age and if the patient has a pre-existing condition.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, have you considered that the vaccines apparently require multiple doses, in some cases 3 and maybe more after to come. The examples you give required one. Cost alone indicates that poor countries will simply be unable to afford to vaccinate their entire population multiple times- I believe some companies increased their prices recently. IMO western taxpayers will not accept paying for everyone in poor countries, which is apparently what some organisations want. BTW, in some countries, some children are apparently not vaccinated for polio because of religious beliefs. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2727330/ Religious opposition by Muslim fundamentalists is a major factor in the failure of immunization programs against polio in Nigeria (2), Pakistan (3) and Afghanistan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far as I know everyone only got one dose back then. Times change I guess. Never had measles/ mumps/ rubella vaccine as didn't exist, and deliberately infected with measles, got chicken pox naturally, only one smallpox scar for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tony125 Posted October 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) 2 hours ago, thaibeachlovers said: Sinovac is not available where I live. And if you notice countries such as Thailand and I think Singapore are no longer ordering Sinovac because it's the weakest of all present vaccines at protecting from infection, hospilization and death. The old ways are not always the best way. The Mrna vax do not chage your DNA ,check how they are made and what they do to the body. Time changes things, why rely on old tech. We can now make vaccines faster more targeted than before. For persons who say the old vaccines were 1 shot and gave lifelong immunity remember this is not a virus that normally affects humans ,it is a bat virus that crossed over to humans so the vax and body don't handle the infection or ability to fight it as well.

"it's so great actually that billions people around the world resist this whole BS !" 7.9 billion people in the world. Do even 1 billion resist the vaccine? That would be 12.5% of the world population. If you say billions that would imply at least 25% of the world's population is resisting. You will eventually need a proctologist considering where you are pulling your numbers from. Most of the 7.9 billion want the vaccine.
