Her argument boils down to vaccines do not prevent transmission. So she's at best unaware of the studies showing when breakthrough infections do occur vaccinated people have lower culture positivity in the nasopharyngeal viral load and that vaccinated people also clear the virus quicker than the unvaccinated. Both of which lower the odds of transmission.
She says vaccines are 95% effective at preventing disease against Alpha so she's not in complete denial, but that's before going off the rails on other things like discredited claims vaccines cause autism. She also says, “When the vaccine mutates, vaccines no longer recognizes it.” While we can excuse misstating vaccine when she means the virus & immune system, she's wrong about Covid vaccines not working against variants. Because even though Delta is associated with increased risk of hospitalization vs Alpha, when stratified by vaccination status - only the unvaccinated have significantly higher risk.
FWIW, Christina Parks is a science teacher for a Grand Rapids-based Christian homeschool organization. She has a doctoral degree in cellular and molecular biology (1999) from the University of Michigan but doesn't appear to have ever worked in or around research.
There are a number of credentialed people like her, some of them medical doctors, who are better suited to serpent-handling than science and medicine:

What's going on in skidog's life to suddenly make him unhinged? Need help with something?
Personally, I think any community that doesn't want passports should use quarantines. If covid is present in the community, quarantine all the sick and unvaxed. Done. With no freedom trampling or big brother databases. Give me a passport.

Thanks for the feedback. It was forwarded by a friend. I probably would have stopped at the complete mangling of the Dunning-Krueger effect if I hadn't been distracted just then.

Did today’s mmwr for today get posted yet?

First question: why is this just now being brought to broad public attention. Delta outbreak in a California elementary school in May?

Every time one goes down there are 10 to take their place
To clarify--it's the Haredi, the ones who dress funny, that have a lot of unvaxed but for the most part their rabbis are not antivax--it's a grass roots thing. Modern Orthodox--the ones you can't tell are Orthodox or even Jews unless they wear a yarmulke, like Joe Lieberman, the ex-Senator, are not particularly anti-vax although there must be some. And Haredi is a blanket term for a lot of different sects, each of which follows its own Rabbi and his teaching. (No female Haredi rabbis.)
California does not have a religious exemption for childhood vaccinations, as I said before.
California has a state voluntary POV program--a QR code you copy to your phone. Not the easiest site to navigate and you do need a computer and a phone (or maybe just a phone, I haven't tried registering on mine) and I'm sure there are bugs. AFAIK there's no mechanism for recording medical exemption yet. It depends on the reporting that vaccination centers send to the state. It can miss things like the second dose when someone gets the doses at different places. (Like me, but Kaiser, where I got my second dose, reported me as having both doses.) I don't know what it cost to set up but I haven't heard that it's astronomical.
while we're talking digital vaccine records, it's worth adding on line access to the list of things poor people, especially rural poor people, don't have that most people take for granted. (Not that online access is that great for the rural rich either--just ask some of those WFH tech guys in Truckee.)

I got into it with a conservative leaning friend whose belief is only around 5% of reported COVID deaths were directly caused by the virus. So instead of 650k, it’s 30k. So infuriating.

Yes, let’s keep everyone in cages because they could infect someone else with the new flu virus! And people who don’t look like me or think like me need to be muted and kept in specialized places (like prisons but not prisons) because I don’t agree with their ideology.
man you guys are fuckedddd up on here 😂

I disagree. Natural immunity vs vaccine is damn near the same. I’ll rely on the natural antibodies my body made after fighting off Covid rather than this vaccine that’s going to be changed and updated every year to deal with the “new pandemic level strain” of the Covid flu virus. I have no problems with hospitals taking care of the vaccinated first and then using whatever leftover resources to help the non-vaccinated. I have no problems with jacking up the insurance costs for the non-vaccinated. But when you start to remove certain unalienable rights (such as pursuit of happiness by restricting where certain people can and can’t go) that’s where I draw the line. It amazes me that the pro-vax crowd here is totally behind totalitarian lockdowns, quarantines, and basically throwing a Star of David on people as long as it fits their agenda.

Quarantining people with active cases of a pandemic virus (TB) - I’m totally fine with. Quarantining people who are not sick, with no health problems and not allowing them into public spaces or participate in normal society is equivalent to stopping Jews from participating in society.
im sorry you can’t differentiate between the two… critical thinking doesn’t appear to be your sides strong suit..
