What I am saying is that we cannot get back to normal under these conditions, and these conditions, bad as they are, are worsening. What I am saying is that we would not be in this situation if 100% of our population was vaccinated against this disease.
The only thing keeping us from getting back to normal, is the foot-in-mouth disease by the lunatics controlling the government. And, the total gullibility, ignorance, and apathy of the people. NOT THIS FLU-LIKE VIRUS! Is this really true about SF?
Make sure you have your vaccination card or a picture on your phone if you plan to do things indoors in San Francisco starting today.

If 100% of the population were vaccinated(including those already naturally immune), the only thing would happen is,
the government would claim total credit for stopping this virus
the government would introduce more intrusive/security measures as a safeguard against any future occurrences(vaccination ID's, vaccination passports). "Your papers please!"
100% of the population would now have more vaccine-induced, specific antibodies for life. Antibodies that will be completely exclusive to the SARS-CoV-2 virus only.
100% of the population would now have fewer broad-spectrum anti-bodies able to fight against other viruses and their variants
the government's investments in its own future fund shares in these pharmaceutical companies, would triple its profits.
the virus would continue to mutate into other variants(4 so far), requiring more vaccines, to artificially produce more pathogen-specific antibodies. We've just created a new vaccine market.
that eventually we won't have enough broad-spectrum antibodies left to protect us from any new future pathogens, or their variants. This is the same problem we are having today with antibiotics to fight bacterial infections.
Look, I am not going down any more of these rabbit holes, that hospitals are being overwhelmed with unvaccinated people. Or, that critically ill people are dying in the waiting rooms. Or, that any of the 61 Oregon hospitals are turning people away in droves. ALL OF THIS IS IRRELEVANT. The job of any healthcare facility is to treat everyone they can. People are NOT in the ICU's BECAUSE THEY ARE UNVACCINATED OR VACCINATED! THEY ARE THERE BECAUSE OF A SERIOUS COMPLICATION! Even a vaccinated person in any of the risk groups may wind up in these ICU's.
You are just assuming that if the ICU's have an inordinate amount of unvaccinated Covid-19 patients, that it is only because they are unvaccinated. And, that that there would be fewer of them in ICU's, which would allow for more beds for those with other serious illnesses. And would generally lessen the entire load on the hospital. This faulty top-down(deductive) reasoning. If I was unvaccinated and sitting in the ICU, I might at the very least feel some sense of guilt. A healthy and natural immune system needs no vaccines to fight any virus or bacterium.
Then you double down with another guilt-shaming assumption about those unvaccinated. That if everyone were vaccinated(even those who are already naturally immune), that the government would allow everything to go back to normal. With all due respect, you must be joking. The government has already tasted its power over us. All that this has done is to make every country and city, try to one-up each other. Do you think a gambler will stop gambling once he wins?
It is absurd to suggest that I'm shaming unvaccinated people. It is just a fact.
You are correct. It IS a fact, that you are trying to use self-serving, selective, and out of context facts to guilt-shame unvaccinated people into polluting their bodies with artificially induced NON-broad-spectrum antibodies.
Some will receive it too late. It's already happening in some places. I just read about a Covid patient who died in an ER hallway because their were no ICUs available.
Now you are just changing the goal posts. This is not what you said or implied. And, I still don't know what this person died from. Other than being tested positive for Covid-19, I have no idea what he/she died from. The rest of article is focused only on peddling/pandering the same blame narrative about the dangers of hospitals being overwhelmed with unvaccinated covid-19 people. Just discriminatory and denigrating nonsense.
Vaccination greatly reduces the need for infected people to be hospitalized and greatly reduces the death rate. That is not an opinion. That is a fact. It is a verifiable, quantifiable fact. To say that I am fear mongering is like saying that people saying you can get cancer from smoking are fear mongering. It's like saying that saying not wearing a seatbelt is more dangerous than wearing one is fear mongering. Things like those are not fear mongering; they are facts.
The only thing that will greatly reduce an infected person from a visit to the hospital, is the health of their immune system. That's it! If you are vaccinated with an unhealthy or compromised immune system, you may still be visiting the hospital, or even die. This is also not an opinion, this is a fact!
Really? We can show a direct causal link between smoking and lung(and other organs) cancer. We can clearly show the physics of why wearing seat belts will prevent serious injuries in low-speed traffic accident. We can even show the direct causal link between drinking too much alcohol, and cirrhosis of the liver and tissue-dependent alcoholism. So yes, you can fear-monger away!
But to claim/imply/insinuate that if you are not vaccinated, you will either be hospitalized or dead, IS ABSOLUTELY FEAR-MONGERING! And, I suspect that the 16.3M unvaccinated recovered American might disagree with you. Remember 80% of those who have recovered from Covid-19, reported only mild to moderate symptoms. FACT!
But if you can succeed at scaring 40% of your people into not vaccinating, you are going to reap what you sow, and you are not going to get back to normal.
I'm not trying to scare anyone into NOT getting vaccinated. Like you, I'M JUST STATING THE FACTS. I hope to reap, that more and more people will keep a more healthy immune system for life. I hope that people will see only the facts, and not blinded by top-down logic, Hollywood hype, and selected half-truths.
It is easy to read an article, but much harder to understand it fully. Especially, if your background is not in biology or science. Hopefully, you at least took this away,
"Instead of delivering the antigen itself, the vaccines contain a
genetic blueprint (or set of instructions) that tell the body to make the SARS-CoV-2
spike protein using the body's own cells.".
These vaccines don't even use a real virus for the antibodies to fight and remember. Not even a fragment/part of a real virus is used. They only use a genetic blueprint to trick the immune system to respond to an artificially created antigen.
The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines use only a
mRNA or an
RNA blueprints respectively, to instruct the cells to make a viral antigen. The AstraZeneca vaccine uses a
double-stranded DNA blueprint, that is carried into the cells by a cold virus. This cold virus is
engineered NOT to replicate. More FACTS. And, people bitch about eating genetically modified fruit and veggies! Yet, they will gladly inject themselves with something that is specifically DESIGNED to cause a genetic change in their cells. Or, do you think that a NORMAL CELL HAS SPIKES ON ITS SURFACE? FACT!
Look ... As an American, born and raised in this culture of a belief in individual freedoms, I am turned off by some of the oppressive government actions of Australia. I think that rather than focusing on arresting people who gather together or don't wear masks, the government would serve the people better by devoting its resources to mitigating the virus itself. They could get enough vaccine. They could set up vaccination centers. They could call upon the military to supervise and set up those centers.
I was also born and raised in America. In the US, the right of the people to peaceably assemble, and to petition the Government to redress of grievances, is guaranteed by the Constitution, and cannot be abridged. There is no such guarantees here. The government controls you, because the sheep here will always choose to rationalize than to offer any push back.
Cops here are only good at catching fish in a barrel. Cops simply stopped everyone driving into Brisbane. If they didn't have a valid reason for being there, they were arrested if they refused to turn back. I would never have imagined, that in Australia, I would ever need a valid reason to enter a city.

People here are not only prevented by the police from peacefully assembling, but the people who use the internet to organize the assembly are being arrested. Cops are going into people's homes and fining them thousands for having too many people there. People are required to show proof of vaccinations in some areas. People are now restricted from leaving their state, unless they are working in the healthcare industry. We are NOT talking about being jailed for criminal violations, we are talking about being jailed for Health violations. In a country with less than 2% of the entire population even infected, after over a year and a half. With also less than 1% of the millions tested are testing positive. This is just insane fascism. And, the sheep here just do as they are told.
