I thought everyone was going to MX for their dental needs now. Get with the times Bunny.
Besides, I thought this thread was about rat flu.

Agreed...but mtuhockey seems to think he's got this massive amount of COVID-19 antibodies in his system, and I'm curious how he knows this? Presumably he's getting antibodies tests weekly or something to ensure they're still present since that's the only metric he seems to concern himself with when it comes to preventing COVID-19 spread.
Damn shame, throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that

Possible concerns about bioaccumulation? It's a valid concern if you're talking about taking a repeat injection every couple of months like J&J is proposing. One shot. Sure. Two shots. Ok. Three+ in a short period of time? Yeah, now we gotta start having the conversation about ingredients and rates of excretion. It's a topic at least worthy of discussion IMO. I can't blame people for taking pause on the thought multiple subsequent shots after initial full vaccination.

I haven't seen anything from J&J saying to take their vaccine every two months. Do you have a source for that? What I read is that they tested giving a second dose at 2-months, or at 4-months, or at 6-months, and found that at 6-months a 12-fold increase in protection occurs.

I got my last antibody test two months ago. How many people who have gotten the vaccine have taken one after?? How do you actually know there aren’t more people like that lady who had exactly 0 antibodies after rhe vaccine? At least I’m proactive and trying to figure out if I’m safe or not - the pro vaccine people literally have no idea if the vaccine worked because 99% of them don’t take antibody tests after.
but even still - it’s shown that as long as you have had antibodies, your reaction to Covid won’t be as bad as if you were unvaxx’d.
im still waiting to hear how someone can get a vaccine and have 0 antibodies - it’s almost as if the damn thing doesn’t work? Or that people are different and should be able to make their own health choices??

I see you're tied up in the fee-for-service segment of the industry, which is a bigger scam than capitated care. The idea behind Medicare Advantage is sound--instead of paying the doctor or hospital for care you receive, which encourages unnecessary procedures and upcoding, you pay the provider a fixed fee per patient, which gives them an incentive to keep people healthy, but also gives the provider an incentive to withhold care. MA works if the doctors making the decisions about medical care are insulated from the financial consequences of their decisions--ie they're salaried--and don't have to get approval for procedures and hospitalization. That's the way Kaiser MA, which is what I have, works and works very well IMO as a patient and as an ex Kaiser doctor. But unlike some of the plans Kaiser Senior Advantage isn't free and you don't get the free goodies like gym memberships, and the Kaiser model hasn't been easy to duplicate--there's just too much money to be made doing it the other way.
The original idea behind MA was that it was supposed to hold costs down but it hasn't even done that. So yeah, MA is bleeding Medicare dry. So is traditional Medicare. Cynical as I am I don't see a way out. Greed and exploitation are too deeply ingrained in the American psyche. See the lab start up mentioned a few pages back (or maybe in the other thread)--offering covid tests for $300+. It looks what they're mainly doing is buying up rapid tests that should be available direct to consumers at the local drug store and performing the tests at a 1000% markup. Reminds me of Pharma-bro of a few years back. (Is he in jail yet?)

Why are you so dishonest? Your question has been answered. The immune system, not vaccines, fights the virus. Vaccines train the immune system to fight the virus. So vaccines won’t protect people with weakened immune systems.
It's one of the reasons why your constant refrain that people who don't get vaxxed aren't hurting anybody is so toxic.

Yeah. You're right. I heard the same things you did: https://www.npr.org/2021/09/21/10391...ion-from-covid
I will correct myself. J&J isn't saying get it every two months, but rather people took it that way and are spreading that takeaway. Been seeing lots of old people on Nextdoor talking about J&J's findings and asking how they can get their two month booster ASAP. Not too different than people in this thread asking about how to get their variety of boosters ASAP too.

hey bud, I don’t know if you’ve actually went back and read through those last 3 or 4 pages but nowhere in any of that did anyone explain how you can get a vaccine and have 0 antibodies after getting it.
stop lying dude. You’re the one being dishonest now. I’ll own up with you because you seem to be even keeled somewhat. But just because someone has a differing opinion with alternate facts doesn’t make them a liar buddy.

Here is your discussion:
You are begging a seemingly reasonable question based on a flimsy premise. Why isn't it? Because the 1 gram of vaccine is mostly water and the rest of the ingredients are mRNA, lipids, salts, and sugars all of which last hours to a few days! It's one of the simplest and "cleanest" vaccine ingredient lists in history. You should be more concerned about what you buy at the grocery store or get at the drivethrough that constitutes 370,000 grams of food you are likely to consume over 6 months.
I hope this discussion was useful to you.Originally Posted by blurred

Nothing works 100%
Stop implying that if the vaccine doesn't work for a tiny percent that it just doesn't work at all.
This is logic that can be mastered in elementary school.
Otherwise you need to answer why some people who get COVID get it again? By your logic it is as if natural infection doesn't work to provide immunity!Originally Posted by blurred

Yeah. From what I understand, the mRNA vaccines are pretty good in that regard. The Hepatitis shots and a few others though, do have metals in them, which take the body longer to deal with.
However, not everybody knows what goes into what, so that's why I said it's a valid question. I was simply trying to explain to rod9301 who wanted to know why people would want to skip a booster. That is why people may be hesitant. Again, it's a totally fair question if you don't know. The more people can talk about these things and can reason through them, the better off we'll all be. (...maybe)

again - I’m trying to show that just because your vaxx’d doesn’t mean you’re automatically safe from Covid. People seem to think that making vaccines mandatory will automatically make this virus go away. Because we don’t have a yearly flu virus anymore, right?
I never said that because it doesn’t work for minority that it doesn’t work at all. That’s your own comprehension leading you astray and I’m surprised that someone with your “intelligence” can’t tell the difference… guess college really made you smrt.

Here is a synopsis snippet from an argument with a antivaxxer:
- I’m afraid that there could be side effects from the vax that havent come out yet.
- I’m not afraid to die (from covid)
So basically afraid of some unknown possible harm but not from a virus with both known possible fatality, severe illness, and unknown future effects.
In other words, no rational consistency at all.
Dont even mention the rest of society, doesnt give a fuck about the community.
THAT is who.

mtu “trying to show you aren’t automatically safe if you are vaxxd”
What do you think the vaccine manufacturers, FDA and CDC have been saying for months?

He said you implied it when you wrote, "im still waiting to hear how someone can get a vaccine and have 0 antibodies" as if it's some random thing and not something that is well known.
Higher vax rates drive down cases, hospitalizations, and deaths. So saying things like the vax doesn't work in some people, or people are not automatically safe from the virus, or won't make this virus go away misses the point. The vax will make the virus controllable, ending the pandemic.

I'm still waiting for his response to his weekly or semi-weekly antibody test schedule he has been maintaining to ensure he still has antibodies present in his immune system.
In actuality I'm sure he's never taken an antibodies test and probably has no clue if he's actually had COVID-19 or not...maybe one positive test a while back when he said he barely had any symptoms (a little sniffle) so he thinks he's bullet proof and cannot spread.
And MTU, actually yes, there is hope of moving on from this pandemic IF we get enough people vaccinated. That's sort of the whole point.Damn shame, throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that
