Highly contagious COVID variant causing nationwide spike in cases - CBS Boston

BOSTON (CBS) - As COVID cases and hospitalizations are rising in parts of the country yet again, local experts are weighing in on what the latest variant means for Massachusetts. In the state's first week reporting COVID-19 numbers on a weekly rather than a daily basis, the state reported 7,096 cases in a week.

Hospitalizations are very slowly rising, and death rates seem to be declining right now. "We are not in a… Omicron situation where [the graph] is going vertical at all," Dr. Doron said.

Rather, she views repeat COVID-19 cases and small upticks as just another part of the cycle of this virus that we have experienced over the last 2+ years. "This is the story that we are going to have for the foreseeable future," she said. "It's going to keep splitting off into new [subvariants]. It's going to keep on mutating, and we will see the next thing outcompete the last thing forever."

Regarding vaccination, Americans over the age of 50 or with weekend immune systems are currently eligible for a second booster shot. Dr. Doron tells WBZ that while the vaccine may not protect against transmission, it undoubtedly protects against severe disease and death.

Should have used PG. You are a HOAX just like COVID is a HOAX.

Right, btch.  Over six million world deaths from "a hoax." And that's a vast UNDERCOUNT because countries led by despots like your Putin and Kim have hidden the truths... as usual.

If you'd lost a loved one to the virus you wouldn't be calling it a hoax, asshole. Then again, maybe you WOULD. You've already proven yourself to be an unscrupulous bstrd, HAVEN'T you??

COVID Vaccines and Cardiac Effects – Reality vs Lies | Science-Based MedicineTweet

After airing a viral video showing a young athlete unconscious on the field following a cardiac arrest, anti-vaccine crank Del Bigtree asked his viewers, “All of these sports are mandating this vaccine on everybody in order to play, and I can only ask the very simple question, do you ever remember hearing a story of an athlete having a heart attack on the field?” The obvious implication is that this is a new phenomenon, and he is encouraging his audience to make a connection to the COVID vaccines. He also states there is no evidence for a connection, and he can also hide behind the notion that he is “just asking questions”, but the implication is undeniable, and that’s all it takes.

Social media also facilitates compiling and spreading video and audio clips to create what are in essence mini-documentaries, with a specific message apparently supported by the video evidence being presented. These videos, however, may be complete fabrications, all lies and misinformation. That athlete lying on the field, for example, had a cardiac arrest due to a primary cardiac condition having nothing to do with COVID vaccines. We can be highly confident that the vaccine was not involved – because the video is from 2013.

This is now the reality we are living in. Pictures can be used out-of-context to falsely support a narrative. Eventually, they tend to get debunked as “the internet” will generally find the source material and expose the fraud, but by the time this happens the damage is already done. This phenomenon is also not limited to social media – even major news outlets (like Fox News and Newsmax) have been caught red-handed using misleading photos out-of-context. This is combined with opinions presented as facts, or hiding behind posing leading questions without making explicit claims.

I've had it twice, and I have long covid, which is not so nice, but not so bad as regular covid. At least long covid only lasts a day or two days per attack.

I don't know why some people get long covid and others don't. I can only attribute it to when my allergies started after 9/11. Because i never had allergies before that, and was never sick. Since then, i have had major allergies, and covid just made it worse.
