The statistics are freely available. Google it. BTW your memory sucks. They could not and did not promise transmission before the vaccine was in distribution. They could hope and assume, based on the % of cases prevented, that is was very likely transmission would be prevented, but they couldn't guarantee until it was distributed widely. In Feb 2021 Fauci called it "the looming question". By May 2021 the case collapse in Israel was so dramatic, effectiveness against transmission was proven for that original variant. And then of course the variants came.

Your original response inaccurately makes it seem like there are on average 12 such cardiac football deaths per year, and when a lowly layperson has the temerity to point that out, you quote a portion of your cited study in what my limited capacity can only assume was an attempt to prove me wrong. And, while I surely can't possibly understand the intricacies of statistical analysis, I am able, with the aid of a calculator a trusted adult let me borrow, to figure out that 41.2% of 12 is less than 6.

You also unequivocally asserted that the poster was factually incorrect when he said he felt like there were more such deaths in the past year, but cited only to statistics from 3+ years ago. To an intellectually inferior non-scientist, that evidence doesn't actually have any weight since it doesn't include the relevant time period.

You are obviously (in the sense that you keep saying it) a person of superior intelligence, which makes a lesser person like myself wonder why your responses are so full of anger and insults and so lacking in accurate substance or even complete comprehension of the points I've made.

I'll just go back to my tv so I can misapprehend some other story that I see.

That is a wonderful-looking response, full of plenty of statistics that we'll just assume are accurate because you wrote them.

It is not at all, however, a response to the point I made, which was that while all of the sources you would deem to be legitimate told us that we needed to take the vaccine because it would stop transmission, they knew that ZERO studies had been done about preventing transmission.

After the big pharma companies expressly admitted that a few months ago, your hallowed sources changed their narratives in a manner that would make Orwell proud and started acting as if they'd focused solely on reducing severity/death from the beginning.

Even ignorant, conspiratorial fools have memories of the mantras about our duty to others that were incessantly repeated throughout 2021.

I know it sucks when you can't intimidate or embarrass the great unwashed into accepting your smugly superior take on things, so I'll just slip back into the primordial ooze from whence I came and leave you be.

I dunno maybe controversial but I didn’t think razza was a mind blowing pizza experience…..

Don’t get me wrong, tasty for sure and gives off the artisanal vibes but for the price…idk. Didn’t feel the value.

For date night I’ve loved Kitchen Step, Orale (honestly just get drunk on whatever the frozen marg special is and you’ll have a great night), Light Horse tavern has great vibes and food but I’ve been there a few times with reaaaalllyyy long food wait times, Wurstbar for cozy vibes!

You need to take another look at the data - for older age ranges myocarditis is at background levels - by May 2021, only older and middle age adults had real access to the vaccine, so the the statement there is no link was 100% true at the time. Only when enough young males got the vaccine was there a statistically significant indication that the rate was higher than background. Nothing nefarious there, just math. And again, repeating the point you so obviously sidestepped, the odds of myocarditis are far higher, even in the young male cohort, from myocarditis from unvaccinated covid, and vaccine induced myocarditis is far milder than "natural" covid myocarditis (10x less death rate).

I am not misinterpreting you. The approval process is totally different for vaccines vs therapeutics. There is zero reason to believe they should be the same or compared. The dangerous politics isn't coming from the scientist. There is only one political party that found it worthwhile to shore up the base by seeding doubt in a lifesaving vaccine at the cost of the lives of their own constituents.

I have a friend who REFUSES to give her name, ever. She will use a fake name to order food, shop online, get a manicure appointment, whatever. I used to think she was nuts to maintain that level of privacy. Now I think she's a genius. The whole world does not need our info....I learned that the hard way.

agree with all these points and dont claim to have the answers but do believe in improving quality of life issues all across jersey city will require investments in police dept. if done responsibly (like hiring more diverse officers) it could have a positive impact on jobs and communities
