Posts: 539Sirioja on Swiss
There is an old joke: the Italians for trains, English for food and Swiss for tolerance, generosity and humor. Colonel Klink clearly had his ledgers out of order.
Mursenary is correct: you did paint a target on yourself and value some principle over mere $. The humor free Klink cannot even conceive of why you refuse to accept their version of reality or infallible bureaucracy. There is no grey in Switzerland. They love gold. Idi Amin, Russian Mafia and others on the lam are all welcome with money. The Swiss are nearly as bad as the city of London. Your protest will not deter them, and will probably do the opposite.
Swiss food is punishment enough.

You should also know that clots can be lethal. So your line regarding degradation does not always work if something, like a vaccine has messed up your DNA (changed a clotting factor) or you are born with mutation (s) on any of your clotting factors. Or a combination of both.

In Nomas statement, Sigurd Hortemo, the agencys chief physician, said that we cannot rule out that common adverse reactions, such as fever and nausea, may contribute to a more serious course and fatal outcome in some frail patients with severe underlying diseases.Those who died were described as having severe underlying health conditions and were all aged 75 or over. (The number of deaths has since risen to 33, out of about 55,000 people who have received the first dose of the vaccine in the country.)In Norway, an estimated 45 people die in nursing homes or similar institutions every day.I think it's really a matter of being aware that death is common in a nursing home.

Posts: 2344Hematology 101: Blot clotting and T cells
Coagulation (Clotting): a response to (micro) vascular trauma.
Clot formation: platelets attach to lesion, forming a platelet plug, a primitive less stable "clot". Other blood clotting factors begin a cascade of activation and attachment that builds a more stable clot.
T-cell role in blood clotting: Binds to molecules on clots, including platelet plugs which signals less specific white blood cells such as macrophages to degrade / dispose of the clot.
What happens when the immune system is over stimulated: T cells cause the degradation of too many platelets, exhausting the building blocks of platelet / clot formation.
End result: Inefficient blood clotting leading to an increase in hemorrhagic events. By definition, overactive T-cell activity leads to the exact opposite of blood coagulation.

Posts: 539Maybe we need a rating system
Mursenary clearly loves Shoobree, his sugar cheeks, and being told "me love you long time". A rare match, though surprising. However, they should book a room, as this site is for the sport of bedding beautiful young women. Then again, it may be part of an immunity experiment.
I've got a fresh supply of gypsy tears in an amulet to guards against COVID, AIDS and democrats. Sadly, ignorant governments who do not have the best advice from Pistons, Fox News and other scholastic sources have thus far been unpersuaded by my miracle cure at border control. I put this down to conspiracy / UFO / Alien / CIA / Cover Up and general intrigue.
If anyone wants some genuine Carpathian Mountains and village of ShitHole-sky, just PM me.

That's a poor exchange rate for a man in your position (I think). I don't know about you, but my time is worth much much more than 100 CHF per day. Six days in jail is worth several thousand CHF for me when a few hundred CHF was all I needed to lose. Unless your time is worth less than 4.17 CHF per hour, you lose and they still get what they want. All because of the irresponsible action of not addressing a problem because they did not write to you in French. All you had to do was call and I'm sure they would have sent you a correspondence written in French. You say they are not respecting international law, well neither did you when you were speeding through their country.

However, none of that negates the fact that, in the middle of a pandemic, when transmissions skyrocketed, these vaccines have reduced case fatality rates. The most notable effects are seen in the death rates of at-risk seniors in vaccinated nations. Despite the dramatic rise in cases in various regions, deaths have not risen proportionately in most higher vaccinated places.
I know that you actually even already know this as observed in your posts that criticize the practice of making policy based on the positive cases per set capita. It shows that you know that the important metric is not cases but rather health outcomes. Applying what you already know should render these criticisms of vaccines on variant transmissibility less pertinent.
The selective pressures vaccines put on transmissibility has no direct effects on pathogenicity. In fact, viruses gravitate towards decrease pathogenicity because their long-term survival depends on host survival.

Posts: 2207Well we had a famous Swedish specialist on this board who claimed in June or July that herd immunity was in place in some parts of Sweden and that in August 2020, they beat the virus.
https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statis...tistics&stable#Wide_disparities_between_countries.
On this nice table you can see how the 2nd wave was mild in Sweden, especially in December.
Herd immunity at its finest.
He also praised the action of the famous president Bolsonaro.
You can see here how efficient his policy is: https://www.worldometers.info/corona...ountry/brazil/.
Or search on Google: "ourworldindata Brazil excess mortality".
