Coronavirus in Poland

I have read doctors found people in their prime ending up with badly damaged lungs after fighting off covid (that was pre-vaccine)

Agreed.

One key factor about Covid is that it can affect different people in different ways. Some people die from it, others are seriously ill from it, some have sypmtoms similar to a very heavy cold and a (vaccinated) member of my family in their 90s had it last month without symptoms.

Have you seen the latest disgraceful propaganda that Pfizer has put out to brainwash children ?
Pfizer is telling them if they get the vaccine they will become super hero's with super powers.
This B.S. is just to much for me

And a member of my family - me - still doesn't know what the hell we are talking about. I mean that covid thingy. For the record, I sneezed a couple of times...

there's no evidence they ever had 'short covid' that is there's no record of a positive test and they don't have antibodies...

And once you get vaccinated you will never know if you have had it or not.

Day 91 (or 81 or 31)* of the fourth wave...

nb. numbers for today and tomorrow will be higher than usual as holiday delayed record-keeping makes its way through the system...

percent of positive test results: 19.7 % of 78,757 tests... bit jump in test numbers

hospitalization: + 338 = 8595

intensive care: + 21 = 713

deaths: 250 (206 with comorbidities)... I think this is still working through the holiday backlog in record keeping

from the previous day**: seven day moving average of daily deaths -1 = 68

Currently infected (how ever they happen to calculate that....) some bogus number over 260,000.... (which kind of throws a lot of the other numbers into doubt as well...)

*differing accounts of when the fourth wave began

**the source I use is a day behind and I'm too lazy to calculate on my own

that....) some bogus number over 260,000....

I think I have an answer to that. Scientists still disagree on how long it takes to fully recover from Covid on average, which also includes no longer being a possible spreader of the disease. Some countries now list people as infected for 3-4 weeks after the diagnosis, perhaps Poland does the same?

UK first to approve oral antiviral molnupiravir to treat Covid

Let's the Brits test it first and look how it works.....

there have been no polio cases in Poland for 40 years now

Polio is considered to be virutally eradicated in the developed world but it's still prevalent in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Ditto tuberculosis which was once the scourge of western Europe and has been eliminated but there is a high prevalence of it in eastern Europe. The thing is that as long as any strain of a disease remains, it can be spread and unless 100% of the world's population is vaccinated the disease is likely to remain.

100% OF COVID 19 VACCINE DEATHS WERE CAUSED BY JUST 5% OF THE BATCHES PRODUCED ACCORDING TO OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT DATA.
I feel so much safer now that the "truth" of the matter is out now. :-/

It's out!

The implications of a pill treating only the sick directly competes with a vaccine.
Win-win. The corp get their cash cow and the vax-tards can now quaff pills and those not sick can finally be left alone.
Surely that's enough to shut up the vax-tards.
Or am I too optimistic here? Thoughts?

If it works and every infected can be cured (I'm not sure if that pill is already there but it's a beginning) the pressure to be vaccinated will let up for sure...

In Germany all that hysteria is reasoned with the health system and it's inability to handle to many sick people at once....that reason should fall flat then!

Let's hope it's a success.

Sounds good so far....

I'm sure in another year there will be lotsa real medicine available and that chinese flu will loose it's dangerousness!

Korvinus

Just a small point to contemplate... the vaccine is hurting and killing people, what makes people think that this pill won't do the same?

Big Pharma has ruined trust in medicine as a whole. They're raking in the dough now, but unless they can get government-mandated pharmaceuticals on an annual basis, they're just salting their own earth... and even the mandates will only kick the can so far down the road.

I'm sure in another year

The amount of current research on this is huge, so hopefully yes.

Tacitus

all that hysteria

It is not really hysteria though. Our health system is currently pushed to the brink, many medical professionals are burnt out from the current and previous stress and if we can not break the wave, we will soon have to implement drastic measures like 2G or a lockdown for the unvaccinated. My personal favourite would be denying unvaccinated medical care if there is a shortage of ICU, but that is likely not legally possible.

Bratwurst Boy

You know....as you watch how the media treats people who dare to have another opinion concerning vaccinations (like Volksschädlinge) it fits the bill of whipped up hysteria...

My personal favourite would be denying unvaccinated medical care....

Thanks for the example!

But I must admit I'm honestly positively surprised about my Germans. We have now one of the lowest vaccination quotas in Europe but historically we earned rather the image of a people of obedient and meek followers....but now other Europeans have definitely took that "award" from us.

German vaccination-deniers seem to be a sturdy rebellious bunch, not bowing to higher costs or threats at all....astounding! :)

I am so proud of them.

Is the middle finger used in Germany to convey the same message as in the US?

Bratwurst Boy
4 Nov 2021  #8359

Definitely!

I had my middle finger moment as the gov decided to let unvaccinated pay for tests...till then I was still thinking about it but to such an obvious, blatant try to force and manipulate people against their will I believe many many felt the same as I did in that moment...."f*uck you"!

The human psyche is a curious thing....not always rational and sensible, heh:)

Tacitus

let unvaccinated pay for tests.

Where is the problem? Why should the tax payer continue to pay the bill for people when there is an easy, safe alternative for free?

people of obedient and meek followers.

Getting vaccinated is less about being obedient and more about listening to science and facts. Vaccination deniers are kinda like the guys who insist that the Earth is flat or that the FRG does not exist. Either completely caught in their own bubble, and or contrarians for contrarians sake in order to feel better.

Why should the tax payer continue to pay the bill for people

Oh please....do you think we are stupid? That wasn't about saving money....or otherwise I wouldn't be forced to pay the medical bill for people like alcoholics who need a new liver....or food addicts who need a stomach stapling....or smoker who need new lungs....or car driver who use the absence of a tempo limit to hurt themselves and innocent bystanders etc. etc. etc.

That was solely meant as an instrument for punishment and pressure, and had nothing at all to do with our oh so poor government which otherwise shucks out tax payer's money for everybody and his grandmom with full hands gladly...even in far away countries.

That message was so clear I really thought "From me not one cent you ****!"

And safe isn't anything with these vaccinations....if I become a number in the statistic, collateral damage, the "unlucky" Einzelfall....can I then come back and say "told you so"?

and more about listening to science and facts.

Nah, what you mean is: "Listening more to hapless politicians telling you how safe everything is"!

Thanks to you, BB, I don't have to post this stuff. Just read yours and enjoy...

Tacitus

That wasn't about saving money..

Partly it is. We are talking billions down the line, which is money I'd rather see invested elsewhere. That it also incentivizes getting a jab is of course also a welcome addition.

Listening more to hapless politicians

Yes, because no medical authorities are advocating it too... .

safe isn't anything with these vaccinations

Nothing is 100% safe in life. You can die from Pennicilin, yet people still take it because it saves vastly more lifes than it takes. The main problem is that the human brain is not wired to fully appreciate statistics and odds, which is why lotteries are a thing. You are hundreds of times more likely to be murdered than to win the lottery, yet people still think they have a chance. The vaccinations are reasonably safe by any measure...

they have been used on 500 million people so we have a good view on the risk compares to a Covid infection and an overwhelmed health system. My uncle was supposed to get a bypass surgery but they had to delay for weeks because the hospital is running out of ICUs. People who refuse to take the vaccine put not only themselves at risk, and others by potentially infecting them. They also add to the strain on our health system and cause additional vivtims down the line... all because they are too thick to understand statistics.

but they had to delay for weeks because the hospital is running out of ICUs.

That would seriously annoy me - especially if I died while waiting.
Other than that, your post is spot on.

Germans. ..have now one of the lowest vaccination quotas in Europe ... the image of obedient and meek followers....

I would say it's caution rather than obedience, it's too bad Germany decided to quit nuclear power, because.... what other country would be better suited to work out and establish safety protocols? Though looking at the new Berlin airport..... never mind.....

The vaccine messaging in most countries is just... odd. It's obviously gone about as far as it's gonna go and governments are by turns, pleading, surly, threatening... Poland went from an upbeat Ostatnia prosta! (The home stretch!) to a whiny add about surviving another wave...

People have moved on and governments have turned into whiny streetcorner pushers, trying to get random passers by to shoot up....

Pfizer antiviral pill reduced risk of covid hospitalization and death by 89 percent in high-risk people

washingtonpost.com/health/2021/11/05/pfizer-covid-pill/

First Molnupiravir which should stop the virus from doing really harm in the body, now (soon) Paxlovid which is expected to cut down the hospitalizations by about 90%...that should end the discussions about intensive care places and appointments with the surgeons!

An understatement of the century...The bastards are lying depending on what they want. Get vaccinated to prevent spreading!!! OK, I got vaccinated.
Put that mask on to prevent spreading!!! I thought that getting vaccinated made me a non-spreader...Neeeext!!!

Bratwurst Boy
5 Nov 2021  #8369

Well...since we now know that vaccinated people can get infected and spread like the best of us, especially when they feel safe with these 2G or 3G "events" running around as if there never was any virus at all....that was truly the understatement of the century!

Any unvaccinated wearing his mask and just taking most basic care is better off....

vaccinated people can get infected and spread like the best of us

In Poland, the vaccinated make up over 35% of infections... (slightly increasing from week to week)

Oct 29 - Nov 5
vaccinated: 26 084 [38,23%]
unvaccinated: 42 140 [61,77%]

previous week:
vaccinatedi: 17 097 [36,87%]
unvaccinatedi: 29 274 [63,13%]

The vaccinated also make up a little over 30 % of deaths...

Oct 29 - Nov 5
vaccinated: 210 [31,25%]
unvaccinated: 462 [68,75%]

Why are they pushing the vaccines so hard again?
