    so far sounds like it's still the unvaccinated being hospitalized for this new variant, but really too early to tell, could just be luck of the draw as most people in Africa are unvaccinated

    let's hope the current vaccine still covers this new variant

    Exactly how they want it too. A perpetual state of fear. A authoritarian governments wet dream.

    Make it a priority to check the label on everything you buy to avoid buying Chinese crap. Vietnam, India, USA, Mexico, etc… are all fine in this family. You can’t avoid everything, but you can eliminate a lot of it under your own roof.

    Correction.

    Most of the stuff required in our day to day life is manufactured and imported from CNINA because of onerous government regulations, high taxes and costly, unproductive labor unions that randomly extorted companies. So corporations got tired of the bullshit and left. It's a global economy now....Americanskis needed their cheap crap...and Democrats decried protectionism....just as they decry sealing the border.

    So now you got what you got Democrats. Quit bitching or do something about it. Electing Trump comes to mind.

    Looks like the vaccine was in fact worthless if this is truly vaccine resistant. How many vaccines are we going to be required to pump into our body? 2 shots then 6 months later another Jab, now a new strain and in 100 days when this new vaccine is estimated to come out, yet another jab.

    seriously, how many shots can a body handle? When I took my first two it made me feel like crap and have weird reactions. I’m not going to turn into a pin cushion. This is crazy.

    Depends on the person, their immune system, and their overall state of health. I won't be taking any chances. I had the virus early on ... March 2020 ... and a few months later, an antibody test came up negative, so yeah, I took the two-shot Phizer vax, and had the booster several weeks ago.

    If you don't have the test for T Cells and B Cells, then you likely just wasted your time. The government and medicine have made such a test expensive, but it's really the one that matters. It appears that CV-19 natural immunity offers B Cells for life and T Cells for decades. The odds on catching it again and being hospitalized is near zero.

    Well, you CAN use just anyone - that is if you don’t mind a high mortality rate. Look at the stats - deaths rates rose EVERY time the ICUs got stressed

    Yes, one person was infected after returning from Africa. Vaccinated people can get infected, but they rarely get seriously sick and/or die.

    The more important question is the answer. Are they both racist or does only the MSM get to decide;)

    I decide for myself, but it seems MSM decides for you, which explains all the angst you have about the MSM. You hate the MSM, so you watch it non-stop until you have to come here to vent out about them.

    You are conflating deaths with spread. You aren't going to be able to vaccinate the whole world. New variants will continue to arise out of those not "privileged" enough to be on Pfizer's distribution list. And even if they did get a doss, they still spread it, and I have a feeling this new variant will show that to even the most entrenched in Big Pharma's marketing scheme.

    This is a disease of the unhealthy. Even vaccinated people are dying, especially those with high comorbidity. The goal post are continually moving and Pharma is leading the directive and policies and people are getting filthy rich. The same companies who have misled the world time and time again.

    2. Pfizer, $2.3 billion ← Link
    Drugs: Bextra, Geodon, Zyvox, Lyrica


    The criminal fine was $1.3 billion, and the additional $1 billion was for civil allegations under the False Claims Act. Pfizer falsely promoted Bextra, antipsychotic drug Geodon, antibiotic Zyvox, and antiepileptic Lyrica. The company was also accused of paying kickbacks related to these drugs and submitting false claims to government health care programs based on uses that weren’t medically accepted.


    Bextra was pulled from the market in 2005 after it was deemed unsafe.


    If you want to survive this, get healthy and have a plan to get a monoclonal antibodies infusion at first signs of symptoms. This has been proven to knock out COVID symptoms within 24 to 48 hours.

    Hospitalizations rising among fully vaccinated in U.S., Fauci says

    In Europe the hospitalized are mostly unvaccinated, but I don't think its because of the new variant. South Africans are saying the symptoms from the new variant are mild, but then again, Africa elder population is practically non-existent, so the impact could be different in Europe and US.

    Many nations have reached a 50\50 vaccinated/unvaccinated Hospitalization Rate, however, percent on ventilators/ICU’s, mainly unvaccinated.

    Note: Booster shots will likely increase the Unvaccinated/Vaccinated Hospitalization Ratio back to 9 - 1.

    Bottom line; Today’s hospitalized Covid patients requiring ventilators/ICU’s, and are dying of Covid complications are MAINLY unvaccinated.

    It isn't the government's job to build hospitals, is it? I thought hospitals were a private enterprise...so many don't want to see healthcare in the hands of the government. So the question is, why haven't private investors seen this opportunity and started building more hospitals?

    Its a personal choice, and sometimes you pay the price for bad choices. Some people choose to smoke, and as a result 80% to 90% of lung cancer deaths are smokers.

    Why can't the government build facilities for Covid detection and care? We should stop the biggest fraud in history, and start using our money for something that will actually help.
