I'm sure that drop is because some people didn't get vaxed and others didn't wear a mask.

It’s been a while but I can definitely say the metaphor (crabs) is better than say chlamydia.

Fred will be along soon to say that if he only got a mild case of chlamydia that the prophylactic worked smh

The modern day Polio vaccine is 95+% effective, meaning, if you give the virus to 100 people, and send them to an area heavily infected with Polio, at least 95 of them will NOT get Polio.

This whole "attenuated case" idea has been around for decades pushed primarily by big pharma to try to increase the popularity of flu shots.

See the article I linked above, and I can literally find you dozens more (at least until the liberals start scrubbing them off the internet). When the COVID shots were introduced, they were claiming they were 90+% effective at PREVENTING INFECTION. When it became obvious the shots didn't work at preventing infection, they jumped to the attenuated case thing, and shit loads of people bought off on that. Accepting that goal post move is nothing more than giving big pharma what they have wanted for decades, which is selling millions of doses of a vaccine that they know doesn't work.
Nothing you quoted (from me) contradicted what you just posted. Where’s the argument?

Speaking of crabs, I'm hoping that snow crab prices drop since it's almost the start of Opilio season

The vaccine fights the virus if your are infected. The effectiveness is based on many factors.

It’s a fact that the covid vaccines are not as effective as they thought. But the way vaccines work (or fail) is the same.
I would agree with that statement if we are using the "new" definition of vaccine. But based on the traditional definition, this is wrong. The Polio vaccine is intended to, and very effective at, making sure you don't get infected with the Polio virus.

Like I said above, people who get the Measles vaccine can still get the Measles, but it is rare because everyone for whom the vaccine worked, can't get infected.

Don't know. Wonder why there was no quota? They'll probably blame it on the kungFlu.

Let me guess, you only drink bottled wine and none of that boxed stuff, right?

The gub fishery does a survey every year to determine quota. This year the survey was bad. However, the Russians dgaf and are still crabbing.

No quota is why the stuff is now $50 a pound when you can find it. Most better restaurants just removed it from the menu.

My 82yo mother swears by that stuff. She swears on it, too. Crisp White is her go to.

I've tried to get her to try a Barolo or a Pinot Noir but she doesn't trust those types of grapes. She says she thinks they're being grown in vats of covid vaccine. Hoonose?

If she's vaccinated it shouldn't have any effect on her.

Whoopi Goldberg revealed she recently tested positive for Covid. She's "shocked" and doesn't understand how it's possible because she's had three jabs and wears a mask.

Sheeple are SOOOOOO stupid and gullible.

Shouldn't getting treated for mad cow disease be more of a priority for her?
