Interesting. Apparently Texas has some incredibly unhealthy people, as the unvaccinated death rate there is significantly higher than the unvaccinated death rate in the UK.

> We believe... I'm vaccinated but had no idea I had such representation on HN, I believe you should speak for yourself sir.
If you disagree, you're wrong, because the GP comment reflects the best currently-available information. Are you OK with being wrong? That's been the weirdest part of this whole business for me... learning just how many people simply don't care if they're wrong.

Anecdote: I personally feel more comfortable eating at restaurants after being vaccinated. A little, but more.
Someone who is unvaccinated most likely never felt uncomfortable eating at a restaurant.

The vaccines aren't risk-free; the damage of covid looks plainly to be orders of magnitude worse, but papering over any potential risk of vaccines is doing everything a disservice.
Getting people inoculated is important, but the chilling effects of this kind of short-circuiting is worrisome.
Lots of people are pro-mask, pro-mask-mandate, and still wary about the vaccine.

Why would they take a covid test if they believe they are immune?
Who says the vaccinated believe they're immune? I certainly don't.
tl;dr: Vaccination status correlates with a 13x reduction of infection risk and a 20x reduction of death risk. Now, to be clear that's a confounded number. The vaccinated are also likely to be taking other mitigation strategies seriously. So the vaccine itself will be somewhat less effective than this. Nonetheless, this is pretty damning for the horse paste set. In decades to come we'll wonder and think and study how…
> Nonetheless, this is pretty damning for the horse paste set. Look I agree that vaccines confer a reduction in risk, but you really shouldn't be referring to ivermectin as “horse paste”. That is clearly pejorative misinformation, and is equivalent to calling all antibiotics “cow pills” just because there happen to be antibiotics administered to livestock.
Being embarrassed when someone calls you an idiot isn't being persecuted if you're actually being an idiot. If you don't want me to laugh at you for taking horse paste then don't take it.

> In decades to come we'll wonder and think and study how this all went so horrifically wrong. lol, it might take decades to massage public consciousness for a desired outcome in the state's interest, but it certainly doesn't take that long to get a handle on the actual issues: institutions used up all their credibility on transparently obvious misinformation. It started with the WHO, an organization already hurting…
There are always things for you to be upset about. But facts are facts. My "side" (led, perhaps, by misinformation pushed to us by various Institutions acting in The States Interest) was right, yours (seeing clearly) was... wrong.
So maybe it's time to maybe revisit some of your other priors?
It's not much use if the data isn't broken down by age, as that is an enormous risk factor with Covid. Here's some better data, from the UK: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/... The relevant data is on Table 4, page 15. Eg: For the 30-39 age group, Covid death rate amongst the unvaccinated was 0.7 per 100,000, and it was 0.1 per 100,000 for the double vaccinated. For the over 80 age group,…

CNN/MSNBC have misinformed you about Ivermectin. Do you think the inventors would get a Nobel Prize if it was just for horses? Advil is also used for horses but we don't misinform people and call it pain killer for horses. The new Pfizer drug, with 89% efficacy, is a protease inhibitor targeting 3CLPro. Ivermectin seems to also work as a protease inhibitor targeting 3CLPro. Repurposing a drug that we know is safe mea…
