The bottom line
The CDC made the RIGHT decision


It looks that way but can we truly know until many years have passed?

Update:

The sister-in-law on the respirator is probably not going to make it her doctors say. Even though fully vaccinated she shows no signs of improvement and to say the five children 20 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren are beside themselves with grief is an understatement. The woman is only 69 years old and was in good health a month ago. Yet I made a rare trip to the store today and 90% of the people we're wearing no masks. They felt perfectly safe because they have been vaccinated and over half of them were 60 or older. Suckers...
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

On this side of the state, it’s the complete opposite. I don’t wear a mask in stores anymore but I’m in the small minority who don’t. I’d say about 80-90% do.

Such a breakthrough case is rare but not unheard of.

Thanks for sharing. Is everyone else seeming to be coming out of it?

They are experimenting with MesenCure in Israel.

"Israel to expand use of COVID drug that gets 88% of patients out of hospital"

"Can this Israeli coronavirus drug 'completely prevent' lung damage?"

"...found to reduce inflammation, promote the regeneration of the diseased lung tissue and alleviate respiratory and other symptoms in laboratory and animal models."

A large dose of fentanyl has proved 100% effective on preventing that person of passing on Covid.

That is exactly the kind of information we need to disseminate. Survival of the fittest.
