That reply about data that's months in maturation literally makes no sense. But either way, Texas was still COVID central compared with reason based states.

Apple Stores to Drop Mask Requirement for Vaccinated Customers This Week

No, natural immunity is 1/10 the antibody levels of the mRNA vaccines.
I traveled to many cities and states during the pandemic and nobody cared that I didn’t wear a mask outside, cops don’t care, because mandates aren’t law.
I do that too. I go walking or jogging or mixed a few miles a day. My first response to covid prevalence in my area was to take less trafficked routes and go out of my way to avoid close proximity with others. I was referring more to subways and streets with an abnormally high density of foot traffic. There are a few worldwide that are just crazy. The example is an extreme outlier, but I would take precautions with any highly trafficked street, noting that you wearing a mask helps other people more than it helps you (helps you if you would otherwise touch your face more frequently).
How dare you follow the facts. Just keep watching the CNN death ticker 😂. I personally know a couple nurses and indeed they said almost every patient in the ICU was older and overweight. I’m repeating exactly what I was told by seasoned medical professionals that were in the front lines of this.
Hilarious that the “medical professionals “ all over TV weren’t telling people to use their down time at home to get healthy and live a healthier life. Let’s not follow that science at all eh?
Instead what we got were suicide, substance abuse, alcoholism, child abuse and various mental health issues that skyrocketed. But by all means let’s just keep locking ourselves inside and masking up alone outside in 90 degree weather.
Some people never want this to end. Since it will put an end to their ever important life altering virtue signaling.

I’m sorry but I’m not reading any fact checking ever. Those same fact checkers also said that Covid is from the nature among other things that they are regularly wrong or lying about. And those Fauci e-mails. They actually asked him about them in Congress and he said that he always followed current science that he/they knew at that time. If that was a lie or it was just wrong he seems to not differentiate between those. He also lied about financing the Wuhan lab. Do you also want to talk about this, hm?
Have you looked into publishing your research/findings?
I’m not joking: this conclusion will be news to the scientific community, so if you have something here, you should share it for peer review.
Amtrak, government owned, now has these on the train:
Facts ≠
- “I personally know”
- “a couple”
- “almost every”
- “seasoned medical professionals in the front lines of this” (read: a couple of people I personally know in a geographically limited area)
Suggested homework:
- look up sample size
- Understand cognitive biases, like confirmation bias and availability bias
I wonder if the same people who say "JuSt ShoW yoUr vaX caRD" also are okay with Voter ID laws.
I bet they're not, though.

Excuse me while I go get my free Krispy Kreme donut with vaccination.
Every new car that is invented, regardless of its drive mechanics, number of wheels, capacity for acceleration & braking only ever have to adapt and adhere to the mechanics of our streets, roads, highways. Regardless of the car, it only has to be able to navigate concrete roads, turns, bumps and sometimes dirt. That’s a small number of variables to adapt to.
The system to which a medication must adapt to is the Human body, and unlike roads to which there are only a few variables to consider, the human body has countless changing and evolving variables that have to be adapted to, that differ between groups of people based on age, gender, race & health.
And so any medication invented for the human body has to contend with an environment of constantly changing variables that give rise to a plethora of unexpected side-effects. This is why the notion of blood clots arising was not determined before it’s release, because Vaccine producers wrre unaware of all the myriad of ways in which their medication would be received by the varied complex human bodies that exist out in the world.
And so to conclude, while I value the impact and necessity of science-based medicine, I feel like this particular one has been rushed through the protocols of safety that other medications have had to go through in order to be deemed safe for human consumption, the biggest one of which is Time.
There are simply some things you don’t discover about a medications affect on the human body until after prolonged periods of time, that is why the multi-year and sometimes multi-decade testing period for drugs is so crucial, and why we are making a huge mistake by not considering the possibility that quickly developed and approved medications may have affects unknowable until years have elapsed in those who’ve taken them.
I'm actually OK with "proof of vaccination" replacing masking requirements. The problem with this Apple implementation is that they are going with the "honor system" and blankly trusting that the majority of American customers are honest. Such a very wrong assumption.
If a company is going with the "proof of vaccination" implementation, then do it right: ASK the customers to provide some proof of vaccination. Otherwise, don't even implement it at all. You either do it all the way, or you don't do it at all. Do or do not, there is no half-arse.

You and/or someone you know has gotten a potentially deadly contact illness from someone’s vote due to close proximity!?!?!
This is a hell of a story, and you’ve chosen to break it on a Mac forum?!?!? WOW!
Don’t forget your free beer too to wash it down with! Pathetic!!!!
They'd rather you have diabetes to milk you for cash for decades….beats dying from covid and losing a revenue stream.
Exactly. I’m living somewhere that from last summer enforced a mask mandate more strictly than anywhere I’m aware of. In the entire country we’ve had 5 COVID deaths the last 12 months. Not 5 thousand, 5.
And most of that time we’ve been completely COVID-free. If the rest of the world had followed suit, COVID would’ve been eradicated months ago. Instead, it’s now endemic forever because of the world’s newest leading religion: self-centeredness, greed, and “me above everyone else.”

It's actually astonishing how BADLY some people want masks and distancing to be the new normal. It's like they were terrible in social settings pre-covid and it's the only way for them to feel normal now.
What do you think I’m doing here? I’m trying to explain the scamdemic and I’m trying to do that with the best of my intentions, so you could see it too. Which you don’t see or you refuse to see for, I think, political reasons. I don’t want you to explain anything.
And when I’m trying to say something you just don’t listen. I’m not here because I want to divide or even lie to people. I swear to God and my parents and friends that my intentions are only good.
This scamdemic is a very real thing and if we won’t do something about it it’s going to stay forever. I’d love to chat and explain why it’s a scam and a crime but these posts are evidence that we can’t have a discussion.
Also, let’s try not to say that no government at anytime didn’t do evil on people in the past. They do that often. Why some people still believe that there couldn’t be anything fishy about this when we see fishy or criminal behaviour in this is beyond me.
Breaking news: heavily populated countries get more cases and deaths of a highly transmissible virus. News at 11.
Very true. Seems like that’s EXACTLY the same people who want others to be as miserable as them. As the old saying goes MISERY LOVES COMPANY!
Wow..over a year of covid and you still don’t get the difference between this one and the flu.
I feel sorry for all the US-Americans that are being considered as an uneducated and ignorant people worldwide because of individuals like you.
Anyway, good to see most people in the US haven’t lost their common sense.
such as:
"Associations with risk for hospitalization and death were pronounced among adults aged <65 years: aRRs for patients in the highest BMI category (≥45 kg/m2) compared with patients with healthy weights were 1.59 (95% CI = 1.52–1.67) for hospitalization and 2.01 (95% CI = 1.72–2.35) for death."
So overweight increases odds of being hospitalized about 40%. and chance of death 100%, still means lots of average weight people hospitalized and/or die.
Are you seriously trying to lecture me about my own country? You’re just plain lying here. The government just opened vaccine registrations for young people like a week or two ago.
