You're 78 years old and suffer from preexisting conditions. You are in the highest risk group for China Virus fatalities. You're fully clot shotted and clot boosted and thought you were protected. Now you're learning you're not. Railing against the facts won't help you. It will only hurt by weakening your already frail immune system further. Data coming from northern states will soon show up in the southern states as temps drop. Be careful.

99% of 65+ senior citizens in Maine have had at least one clot shot. 63% have had 2 clot shots and clot booster. Yet hospitalizations of seniors in Maine for China virus are at record highs and are up 902% since July.

How did you decide that Bullett is 78? Methinks he told me his age not too long ago, but it was no where near 78 years old.

Does anyone remember when the two liberal assholes berated me about inflation, saying it was good and not a problem. Well gas jumped over 6% in November alone. They resorted to insults and name calling. Well seem I was right and they were full of nonesense.

So, if inflation here is Biden's fault, why is inflation also spiking in Europe?

From The NY Times:

"PARIS — The European Central Bank’s top task is to keep inflation at bay. But as the cost of everything from gas to food has soared to record highs, the bank’s employees are joining workers across Europe in demanding something rarely seen in recent years: a hefty wage increase.

“It seems like a paradox, but the E.C.B. isn’t protecting its own staff against inflation,” said Carlos Bowles, an economist at the central bank and vice president of IPSO, an employee trade union. Workers are pressing for a raise of at least 5 percent to keep up with a historic inflationary surge set off by the end of pandemic lockdowns. The bank says it won’t budge from a planned a 1.3 percent increase.

That simply won’t offset inflation’s pain, said Mr. Bowles, whose union represents 20 percent of the bank’s employees. “Workers shouldn’t have to take a hit when prices rise so much,” he said.
Inflation, relatively quiet for nearly a decade in Europe, has suddenly flared in labor contract talks as a run-up in prices that started in spring courses through the economy and everyday life.
From Spain to Sweden, workers and organized labor are increasingly demanding wages that keep up with inflation, which last month reached 4.90 percent, a record high for the eurozone.

Austrian metalworkers wrested a 3.6 percent pay raise for 2022. Irish employers said they expect to have to lift wages by at least 3 percent next year. Workers at Tesco supermarkets in Britain won a 5.5 percent raise after threatening to strike around Christmas. And in Germany, where the European Central Bank has its headquarters, the new government raised the minimum wage by a whopping 25 percent, to 12 euros (about $13.60) an hour.

"There's lots more if you go to today's Times.

You wouldn't know a fact if you saw one. No matter how hard you try, you can't even estimate my age to within 3 years. To date, there have been 796.764 (and counting) COVID-related deaths in the USA There have been 3 blamed on blood clots. (https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/12/cdc-...d-vaccine.html) and yet you insist on calling the vaccines the "clot shot. " I was being overly kind by calling you a mere buffoon. You are a danger to yourself and others. Daily, you make it harder and harder for me to care about your welfare, but your lack of concern for others is disgraceful.

You have forced me into taking action to block your posts, as I don't wish to see your drivel ant more.

Thank you Bullett64, I'm encouraged by the fact there are still decent people like you.

You should read the cdc info! Your link offers the evidence that supports the claims that the vaccines are safe and effective and details the rarity of complications.

He was 72, played tennis religiously both singles and on a team on a league, ran regularly, and was in great health! When you assume you risk making an ass out of you and Me! There are perfectly healthy men and women who die from the shot but no one wishes to acknowledge it. Go read what is on the CDC, Walgreens, CVS, and other such sites for the warnings about each and every brand of shot for this chinavirus.

I asked you how the truly ignorant can possibly see true ignorance. Or for that matter, see true genius or even mediocrity. I asked if you can see that and surmised you couldn't. Now those who can't will instead grasp after shiny objects. Your ignorance doesn't allow you to see true value or true ignorance so you're in a perpetual state of seeking immediate gratification by grasping for those shiny objects or by changing a subject matter which provides the same sort of immediate gratification. Can you see that manifest itself daily in your own life? You can't can you? Do you know why? Of course you don't. That's the point.

You have no point, other than the one on your head. Try wearing a hat!

Just as clear as day.

The true ignorance is the latest data release showing China virus hospitalizations of those 65 and older in Maine are up 902% since July, even with 99.9% of seniors at least partially clot shotted and 63% having had two clot shots and a booster clot shot. But the truly ignorant can't see that true ignorance. Makes sense right? How can the ignorant possibly see true ignorance or genius for that matter. They lack insight. Right? But you can't see that can you?

And yet more undocumented fear-mongering. Here is the current data from the State of Maine: https://www.wmtw.com/article/maine-c...ation/38377489#.

Are cases up? Of course they are. The current vaccines were developed for the alpha, beta, and gamma strains. They are less effective for delta and omicron, and you can certainly catch a breakthrough case even if fully vaccinated. The difference is that even though the current vaccines are not targeted specifically against the current mutation, they significantly reduce the severity of the disease and even more significantly reduce the chances of you dying from it. A recent study showed that 92% of covid related in the last three months deaths were unvaccinated.

Its easy, and apparently fun, to pick out two numbers and come up with a broad generalization of "902%." Its quite another to put it in context with the real world.

Please do your own research and do not be swayed by the buffoons.

Ignorance is alive and well. Clot shot? China virus? I thought Archie Bunker died long ago.

Cytokine storm-'A severe immune reaction in which the body releases too many cytokines into the blood too quickly. Cytokines play an important role in normal immune responses, but having a large amount of them released in the body all at once can be harmful. A cytokine storm can occur as a result of an infection, autoimmune condition, or other disease. It may also occur after treatment with some types of immunotherapy.'

"Cytokine storms" are bad; no question about it. But they are caused by the body's response to the infection. They are what kills you when you have a COVID infection.

Once again: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles...020.01446/full.

For a shorter version try: https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-f...-idUSKBN29Q2UT.

In short - "Experts say there is no evidence to suggest mRNA vaccines will cause a cytokine storm when an immunised individual is faced with a live variant of COVID-19. " (op cit).

Vaccine-Associated Disease Enhancement:
'VADE occurs when the antibodies generated during an immune response recognize and bind to a pathogen, but they are unable to prevent infection. Instead, these antibodies act as a Trojan horse, allowing the pathogen to get into cells and exacerbate the immune response...

Yet more fear mongering and manure spreading.

To join reality, try: https://www.nebraskamed.com/COVID/an...nt-in-vaccines.

The Reader's Digest version: To date there have been zero cases of VADE associated with the COVID virus. Zero. NONE. NOT ANY.

So why even bring it up? The only possible reason is the desire to cause harm to others. You are a reprehensible human being.
