    Why do Trump supporters who barely passed H.S biology give advice on covid/vaccines/masks? Why not also give advice on CANCER?

    Retards like "A Hutch" areretarded, delusional redneck with a god complex who works at Walmart and spend hours a day telling people about covid , vaccines and masks.

    They thinks they know more than ACTUAL infectious disease doctors with 8 years of education and decades of training and experience from a few hours of googleIf he and all the other retarded rednecks with god complexes knew more than actual infectious disease doctors about covid, vaccines and masks they would just become infectious disease MDs and earn over 400,000 while getting 10X the respect than they do now.

    Once I am vaccinated with both shots of Pfizer Vaccine is it virtually impossible for me to catch Covid-19 after that ?

    Favorite Answer:

    In early March, Newsweek reported that 4000 people had died of covid after getting sick with covid 3 or more weeks after the 2nd vaccination.

    - Last week, Business Insider said it was 74. 

    - So take your pick.  I'm going with the more legitimate one from Newsweek. 

    In an average year 51 American get struck by lighting.

    Even taking the hooky BI information --

    about 5000 sick with covid since fully vaccinated and 74 deaths. 

    with approximately 200M vaccinated that gives you a .025% chance of getting covid, shich is significantly higher than chance than being hit by lightening. 

    HOWEVER, remember most of these people have only been vaccinated since February 1st so the time line is REALLY SHORT.

    And Pfizer already announced you will need a 3rd vaccination some time between 6-12 months.

    What's worse: the Spanish flu pandemic or the COVID-19 pandemic?

    I think, at this point, people are beginning to understand that having a healthy lifestyle will not save you from the virus, but will only strengthen the immune system and lessen the severity of producing symptoms. I'm just wondering if the Spanish flu was much worse than COVID-19 because, back then, there were no medical treatments aside from vaccines. I don't understand why the current pace of vaccinations are very slow, but it couldn't have been bad as compared back then, right? I've following the news ever since the pandemic started, and a lot of antiviral drugs were recommended, like hydroxychloroquine, remdesivir, dexamethasone, and then ivermectin. Do you think this pandemic is worse, as compared back then when there were no drugs to treat patients? Again, I'm talking about medical treatments, not vaccines, just to put things into perspective.

    I am sick. Whole household tested positive for covid on rapid test but I tested negative on rapid test?

    We are also waiting on the PCR tests. Is there still a good chance I could test positive on the PCR test if they all tested positive on the rapid test and I’m just as sick as they are?

    With so many people vaccinated why are we still closing places down and starting a 4th surge ?

    Favorite Answer:

    Yes, but the Supreme Court has ruled that churches can open if other places can.

    Why are we still closing places down?  The government officials don't understand illness and contagion, and they just want to look like they are doing something so that they can justify their salaries.

    If Trump supporters know so much more about infectious disease than actual doctors, why not become a infectious disease doctor? ?

    Favorite Answer:

    The vast numbers of clueless, superstitious ppl have helped me understand why a person needs to go to medical school to become a doctor.  The worse are ppl who behave like they have been vaccinated but have not-- they go to superspreader events maskless.  Many ppl are still in denial about COVID bc they are like babies who close their eyes when they see something scary hoping that if they can't see the danger, it isn't there.  Michigan is being overwhelmed by ppl sick with COVID.  The worse thing isn't that the nurses and the doctors in the hospitals are swamped with sick ppl.  The worse thing is that you can go to the hospital with COVID and die there despite being on a ventilator.  I am a Republican who wears a mask and got vaccinated.

    Is taking vaccine the only option to prevent corona virus? ?

    Favorite Answer:

    No. Vaccine is for a long term prevention. It can't be the only option to prevent covid-19. Awareness may play a vital role here.

    Is my dad right about this pandemic?

    He is a physician specializing in infectious diseases. He has worked on the COVID vaccine and says that despite what you hear in the media the current vaccines only offer protection for 1-2 months. He says the virus just keeps mutating and getting stronger, and this pandemic is going to play out very similarly to the Black Death pandemic of the 14th century, and we will have over a billion deaths within the next 5 years. He spends a lot of time alone now, and cries a lot, and I can tell he is really wearing down. I'm so worried about both him and this world.
