TallGuyJohninBKK Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 There were instances when some public figures overstated what the data was showing at the time.... And then they were corrected by the U.S. CDC: CDC reverses statement by director that vaccinated people are no longer contagious April 2, 2021 The CDC later told the Times Walensky was speaking broadly during the interview. “It’s possible that some people who are fully vaccinated could get COVID-19. The evidence isn’t clear whether they can spread the virus to others. We are continuing to evaluate the evidence,” a CDC spokesman told the Times. The CDC study found the two mRNA vaccines prevented 90 percent of infections two weeks after patients received the second of two doses, including asymptomatic and presymptomatic infections. Following a single dose of either vaccine, the participants’ risk of infection dropped by 80 percent. https://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/546234-cdc-reverses-statement-by-director-that-vaccinated-people-are-no/ The truth was out there and was told repeatedly as to what what occurring and found during that period of time.

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I think the CDC's policy change here is a recognition of several things: 1. Protection against COVID is better now than it was in past years, because of the partial/temporary immunity gained from prior infections and vaccinations at the society levels. Along with better medical treatments and methods of care. 2. That their policy on isolation is and was only a recommendation, and people and entities weren't required to follow it, and in fact, probably weren't mostly following it in real life these days. Still, there are a good number of folks out in the public health community who believe the current CDC policy change is ignoring what the actual science continues to show about COVID and its infectiousness and transmissibility. Why Are We Still Flu-ifying COVID? The diseases are nowhere near the same. ... "In 2023, COVID hospitalized more than 900,000 Americans and killed 75,000; the worst flu season of the past decade hospitalized 200,000 fewer people and resulted in 23,000 fewer deaths. A recent CDC survey reported that more than 5 percent of American adults are currently experiencing long COVID, which cannot be fully prevented by vaccination or treatment, and for which there is no cure. ... Dropping the current COVID-isolation guideline—which has, since the end of 2021, recommended that people cloister for five days—may likewise be dangerous. ... That means a return to a world in which tens of thousands of Americans die each year of flu and RSV, as they did in the 2010s. With COVID here to stay, every winter for the foreseeable future will layer on yet another respiratory virus—and a particularly deadly, disabling, and transmissible one at that. The math is simple: “The risk has overall increased for everyone,” Landon said. That straightforward addition could have inspired us to expand our capacity for preserving health and life. Instead, our tolerance for suffering seems to be the only thing that’s grown. https://archive.is/9wY9Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well duh, of course as soon as you introduce testing kits you will indeed detect cases. How are you supposed to detect cases if not tested? 0.8% mortality rate with all the counter measures like vaccines according to you. That's half a million dead if it infects the population. In Thailand about 60 people die in road accidents every day. I think your numbers are a wee bit off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan O Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 1 hour ago, stoner said: biden said it. msnbc said it. lots of video out there (transam) for all to see. Last time I checked msnbc, Biden and a number of news outlet talking heads said a variety of false statements. They aren't doctors and were paid to sensationalize anything they could, especially fox news and trump and his trumpettes. They got there doctor degrees from Google just like you. Did you try taking bleach, disinfectants internally or sticking an up light down your throat as trump suggested? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallGuyJohninBKK Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) One problem with the CDC's policy change is that science shows that people 24 hours after their COVID symptoms have begun improving -- the CDC's new cutoff for ending recommended isolation -- can and will continue to be contagious to others around them. Some experts disagree on guidance change It’s reasonable to want to treat Covid-19 like other respiratory viruses, said Dr. Ellie Murray, an assistant professor of epidemiology at Boston University’s School of Public Health, “but you can’t just discard the science.” ... Murray notes that we’ve learned a lot about how respiratory diseases spread and how best to control them during the pandemic. But instead of applying those lessons to help protect people from other infections like the flu, she says, this rolling back of precautions is sending a harmful message. “It’s undermining the whole rest of the public health system,” she said. “Because what people are hearing is, ‘Actually, diseases aren’t as bad as we’d said they were, and we don’t actually need to do anything. It’s not actually that bad if some people die.’” https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/01/health/cdc-covid-isolation-recommendations/index.html Edited March 3 by TallGuyJohninBKK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 More on why the CDC's latest guidance is at odds with what the science shows on transmissibility of COVID even now: Covid Taught Us a Lot. The CDC Now Wants Us to Forget It. ... "the guidelines outlined by the Post’s three sources would run counter to the available research on Covid and other respiratory illnesses—presumably in order to satisfy economic and political interests. The consequences both for contagion and public trust, should the agency follow through on these plans, could be severe. ... Crucially, Covid symptoms do not seem to correspond with contagiousness. “We knew surprisingly early on in the pandemic that asymptomatic individuals can shed virus and can transmit the virus to others,” said Sorrell. With omicron, only 22 percent of vaccinated people had a fever, and it was even less common among those who had a booster; even so, 80 percent of patients still tested positive after five days, one study found. Some 40 percent of kids are still contagious after symptoms resolve; one-quarter are contagious after seven days, and 10 percent are still contagious after 10 days." https://newrepublic.com/article/179304/covid-cdc-guidelines-isolation-symptoms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freedomnow Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Who even isolates at this stage ? I notice when people say they might have covid or flu-like sypmtoms...they slant to 'flu' and don't mention covid at all. I rarely hear any mention of the word covid here in the UK. It's like a collective bad dream that everyone wants to forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
