And correct, this is like the flu so there is no herd immunity. But immunity through infection is considered by some researchers and doctors to be as effective or more effective than vaccines. At this point in time vaccination mandates don't make a whole lot of sense. Because almost everyone has some immunity, and a lot of the unvaccinated are as well or better protected than many of the vaccinated.

My knees are shot because of COVID. My gym closed for several months, and afterwards I cut back on gym usage even though I felt pretty comfortable there with my KN95 masks. I did a lot of running instead, like every day, and the rest is history.

Posts: 5495The Greatest Jobs President That God Has Ever Created
Was not Trump.
Yep, even before he created Trump's Pandemic with economic decisions that led directly to him leaving office with 3. 1 million fewer jobs in America than the day he took office, Trump was a weak job-creating so-called potus compared to any Dem, especially Biden.
And that is even with the horrific economic headwinds Trump left behind for Biden to deal with and overcome.
U.S. payrolls surged by 261,000 in October, better than expected as hiring remains strong
https://www.cnbc.com/2022/11/04/jobs...ndroidappshare
Even with the reduced pace, job growth has been well ahead of its pre-pandemic level, in which monthly payroll growth averaged 164,000 in 2019.

LOL. This one is particularly good for a laugh coming from Mr. Infrastructure Week X Four Do Nothing Years:
Trump vows 25 million jobs, most of any president.
January 20, 2017
https://money.cnn.com/2017/01/20/new...ges/index.html
The only specifics he mentioned in his inaugural address were building new highways, bridges, railways and airports "all across our wonderful nation."
Trump has outlined the rest of his plan on his website and during the campaign. In addition to infrastructure spending, he wants a massive tax cut for businesses and individuals, a rollback of regulations and renegotiating trade deals and actions, especially with China and Mexico.
It is astonishing how dumb people are who fall for typically pro-Repub MSM's spin that "Republicans handle the economy better than Democrats" and that the topic of the economy favors Trump-aligned Repub candidates this time around. Or that it ever ought to favor Repubs without MSM's herculean efforts to spin it that way, really.

Covid induces the immune system to cause blood clots (as does the vaccine). So if someone with Covid does die of a blood clot in the lungs, I have no problem with calling that a Covid related death. What bugs me is someone like you or the media coming along and saying lockdowns could have saved that person because clots are also caused when the blood is not circulating, I. E. When people are not moving. If someone is sitting on his ass watching TV and not moving due to a lockdown, that is a risk for blood clots too.

Do YOU have a medical professional who says person X died from Covid and here is why? Hell, you already admitted you do not and what is worse is, you imagine that all these professionals are on your side. So the reality is that you think everyone else is crazy while YOU are the one who is delusional. You are just allied with people as ignorant as you are.

Real MPs speak out about NATO terrorism and the hypocrisy of the USA.

Imagine if other MPs around the world and especially in the USA showed this kind of courage and honesty!! The world would be a much better place. This is what 'American Politics' should be about. Not endless Biden / Trump / economy name calling.

Even if the number of cases have been understated by half, that's still a 20% infection rate, far less than the 80% required for "herd immunity".
A "cold virus"? Really? You can't be that ignorant to believe that SARS-CoV-2 is a rhinovirus (the virus that causes most colds). It isn't. I could cite medical articles that say that SARS-CoV-2 is not a rhinovirus but you wouldn't believe them.
"Died of pure COVID"? Ahhhh yes, the old standby of the Moron Brigade. You doofuses believe that anybody who had a PEC (even a hangnail) and COVID died of the PEC and not COVID.

In Trump's own words:
Bob Woodward Was Stunned By What Trump Told Young Son Barron About Coronavirus.
Oct. 25, 2022
https://news.yahoo.com/bob-woodward-...091902598.html
Talking to Woodward on March 19, 2020, Trump said Barron, then 13, asked what was going on and he answered: I said, it came out of China, Barron. Pure and simple. It came out of China. And it shouldve been stopped. And to be honest with you, Barron, they shouldve let it be known it was a problem two months earlier ... the world wouldnt have a problem. We could have stopped it easily.
A US epidemiologist was embedded with the Chinese CDC. The Trump administration discontinued the position.
March 23, 2020
https://www.vox.com/policy-and-polit...dc-embed-quick
President Donald Trump loves to blame China for the coronavirus pandemic, but new information surfaced over the weekend that the administration eliminated a position last July that potentially could have helped the US get an earlier jump on a response to the crisis, suggesting the president may need to place blame a little closer to home.
The Trump administration told the United States embed at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that the position would be defunded, causing her to leave her post in July 2019, according to a report from Reuterss Marisa Taylor. The embed helped train Chinese public health experts and served in part as a liaison between Chinese officials and their counterparts in the US.
With the administration planning to discontinue the role, the embed return to the US about five months before China began to see its first Covid-19 cases. Under normal circumstances, the embed likely would have passed information about the novel virus to US officials. Instead, Chinese officials were able for weeks to conceal the virus and the threat it posed, leading to a delay in the worlds response to what was then a matter of great concern and is now a pandemic.
Even Trump admitted "the world wouldn't have a problem. We could have stopped it easily," had it not been for Trump and his disastrous decisions going back long before 2020.

What about refuting the facts cited on that particular Factcheck link I posted, the one that triggered a series of posts insisting we shouldn't believe what we read on Factcheck or produced by other fact checkers?
