X-er's concern is understandable ;
I appreciate SJG's response - -
I believe it is important to recognize the situation is evolving, and
as things change, the statistical analysis will also change --
to me, the vaccination program is remarkably successful -
without vaccination, deaths were projected to be four times to five times higher. - ( millions of people in the USofA )
( significant) side effects of vaccination is on the order of magnitude of 1 / 10,000 to 1 / million(s) -
it's not perfectly Safe
( the death of a young parent is being associated with vaccination two weeks earlier.
Awful. beyond words... )
immunity has been shown to decline, though to-date, the decline in immunity ( shown by testing for covid ) has Not yet resulted in an increase in 'severe covid' ( necessitating hospitalization )
'breakthrough' cases of covid disease are occurring --
But - Unvaccinated, X-er's concern seems Very legitimate to me - -
far up-thread, there are claims that fitness and healthy living are of greater importance to resisting covid than immunity -
I am convicted in my belief that the fitness of a person is of no importance to a disease caused by a virus -
a phrase that comes to mind is, 'opportunistic pathogen' -
If a virus has the opportunity to cause disease, it does.
regarding covid, I have been reminded that part of the disease process may include a 'hyperimmune response' in which a (healthy) person's (hyper-)immune response to the covid infection IS a very significant part of the person's illness and disease. ...
so - while I no longer believe it is a matter of chance of developing covid clinical disease - Because of the immunity provided with vaccination,
Without immunity a person's Risk is much greater, And
effective vaccination of society can greatly reduce the spread of disease.
we can continue to make progress --
Thank you.
respectfully. tjLast edited by skiJ; 10-12-2021 at 08:57 AM.

Pretty good article summarizing the reasons why those who have had COVID should still get vaccinated, although nothing that hasn't been discussed in this thread for months.

To Vaccinate or Not---The Rat Flu Odyssey Continues
I’m starting to think he is the cleverest troll that ever lived. Nicely worded and empathetic responses formatted in such a way and so frequent that they eventually drive all readers apoplectically insane w rage
Skifishbum or our spammy troll friends would be a welcome break from the unpredictable paragraph breaks he uses lol

thanks - I laughed - -
I certainly don't deserve comparison to the poetry of SFB
( it took me,,, years to think I had any idea what SFB means -
( I love SFB's stuff. and occasionally, I think I even have a clue ) )
I apologize for this morning's "format" - keyed into a 'phone' with a three-inch screen. . .
and yet, I also acknowledge the criticism of my formatting more broadly. ... I will think about it --
(( ... Many could skip my messages - you know My cause to this thread - and it is not going to change... ))
thanks for the kind words of several ( including SFB ) - sincerely, Thank you.
maybe I will watch for more Information about the Swedish data for a couple more weeks, and then
step away from this thread for a while. . .
anyway -
oh. old guy (?) Yes ; chain e-mail - no. what I post are my thoughts from reading and decades of field Work...
and
I do not believe covid is a matter of chance for the vaccinated ( though Please watch for the effect of declining immunity ! ),
and
I believe nationally we are going to fall about ten million people short of effective population immunity.
we will figure-out how to live with it, except for those of us who do not live through it
( 70,000 die annually of Influenza. ( last year was the second time I got a 'flu shot' ) )
Thank you for the kind words, and the critique - And the deserved criticism.
let's go skiing !

postscript -
reviewing my posts from this morning, I recognize the effect of thirty-five years of 'bullet point' lecture ( 'PowerPoint' ) presentations ( Not mine ! ), ,,, and ( something. I will think about that 'something.' Maybe If I just used the 'Return' key eighty percent Less. And . . . )

Get out there and do stuff!
Enjoy life to the fullest!!
See you on the slopes! "
