Non-peer reviewed and taking a correlation equals causation viewpoint. I definitely would be thinking of confirmation bias with this one.

HaaHaaaaa ok. People can say and believe as they want (for now).

Even the person who wrote it says it needs more investigation and admits they wanted to prove only one thing. When you go looking for something and control what data you use, it is easy to find it.

I hope the Supreme Court overturns the mandate.

Previous employer on the verge of firing unvaccinated employees, talk about overstepping.

Citigroup to fire unvaccinated employees this month

Citigroup staff in the United States who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19 by Jan. 14 will be placed on unpaid leave and fired at the end of the month unless they are granted an exemption, a source familiar with the matter said on Friday.

Thankfully they have for small businesses.

Sorry about you that have been misplaced in the workforce. Our granddaughter has been marked as essential, the only reason is she low on the totem pole. She work at the deli and is one to closed up the place. But she has a card to show the police if she stop.

Yep, got mine too. A laminated printed note card basically.

In regards to the Flu vs Covid-19... let's keep in mind the mortality rate of the Flu is .1%... so far the mortality rate of Covid-19 is 2-3%. Now I would expect that rate to drop once the infection rate is figured out with the people with mild symptoms, but even at a 1% mortality rate if Covid-19 infects as many people as the flu you're looking at 800,000 people dead... so... it's kinda a big deal.

I do agree the media is blowing this up... but we should all take some precautions too... or as Scrooge would "less we decrease the surplus population."

One of the better articles I've read on rational Covid policy.

@It Takes Eleven , good read. Thanks.

Forty-five percent (45%) of Democrats would favor governments requiring citizens to temporarily live in designated facilities or locations if they refuse to get a Covid-19 vaccine. A large majority (71%) of all voters strongly oppose such a proposal, with 78% of Republicans and 64% of unaffiliated voters saying they would "strongly oppose" putting the unvaccinated in “designated facilities.”

(READ) Democrats favor 'punitive measures' for unvaccinated | Sharyl Attkisson

Democrat voters embrace restrictive policies, including punitive measures, against those who choose to not get the Covid-19 vaccine. That’s according to a recent Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey. The Covid-19 vaccines have proven to be […]

It's been a little while since I've shared this, as of this morning new cases - nationally - continue to plummet. Hospitalizations are following suit, with the seven-day average of hospitalizations now down below the original surge and daily numbers indicating continued improvement. The daily death count is beginning to flatten. Alabama had a flare up of new cases this week that has subsided, MS is improving and a localized surge is working north through TN and into KY and WV. Beyond that, I'm hopeful things continue in the right direction.

I haven't flown in the last month, just traveling by auto between AL and GA, but the only two places I've been asked to wear a mask was my local REI in Kennesaw (following the lead of their Seattle-based HQ) and at the oral surgeon I took my Mom to last week off Valleydale Road. The noncompliant at both places were not being hounded to mask up. The return to normalcy is well on its way. As fewer workers call in sick, hopefully it will help all businesses get back on a full footing. Supposedly, the supply chain in general is catching up, but I haven't noticed it at the grocery store or paint aisles.

RTR,

Tim

The death rates of this have gone way up in the larger metropolitan areas per the John Hopkins site. They don't identify by variant, but I was under the impression that omicron was less deadly.

Vitamin D is making the news again, now they've correlated a vitamin D deficiency to severity of covid symptoms.

Imagine if this was discovered back in 2020...

The problem is that they have not been able to link increasing vitamin D after infection with increased survivability, not have they linked vitamin D levels with increased immunity . Matter of fact, another study has shown that giving high doses of vitamin D after infection does not decrease hospital stay length. So it has a protective effect against death in many cases, but you must already have good levels of vitamin D before you are infected.

 

[MunchyOs]

Well, look at it this way. If all else fails, we can always reset it back to March 2020

Wait until the bullying happens for those who don't wear masks, etc...it's coming.

There is no money to be made on OTC drugs.

I told my mom 1.5 years ago to increase her vitamin d intake.

Vitamin D is dangerous if too much is taken. Those 50,000 IU doses are way too much if taken daily, they are usually used as weekly doses or when someone is really low, most people need about 5,000 daily at most. That being said, most people could stand to take at least 1,000 daily.

This is what my FIL is dealing with right now... they are anti-vax and all that jazz but damn if he didn't load up on entirely too much vitamin D over a pretty long period of time without realizing just how much he was taking in (until recently). It has taken a toll on him... he looks like a POW compared to what he looked like a year ago.

Too much of anything is bad in most cases.
