It uhh is the first thing you see when you click the story. It’s before the first line. So there’s that. 


The study was of children under 3 experiencing substantial learning g delays compared to pre Covid children. The headline only mentioned 18 month old developmental delays. 
 

Lockdowns ***** up kids. No ***** Sherlock. 


Weird. I have no kids so I have no clue but I thought it was “impossible” to get kids off the computer and PlayStation and out of the house.  Now keeping them in ***** them up. 😂

Hello everyone, and I had the opportunity to visit Cassandra at Buffalo Children's today. As mentioned she is off the Ecmo machine and doing most of the work. It will take some time for her to heal. S

And there you have it, just in time for school to start back up. 

 

I hold firm to my beliefs to just let people develop the antibodies naturally and get on with our lives, of course the chicken littles will crucify me for that belief. This being said, I have elementary school aged kids. 

 

With infection rates rising in younger folks with delta, I’m worried.  Although mortality rates still look low I’m concerned with long term effects on kids.

We are going to have to learn to live with this, the quicker we adapt the better off we are.

The virus may hang around, but by vaccinating as many as possible you deprive the virus of hosts to propagate and/or mutate.

A very good friend was not feeling good Wednesday. Got tested Thursday and was confirmed positive yesterday.  I asked her just now how she’s doing. She said “I’m ok. I think I’m going to cut the grass tomorrow.”

WRONG

So wrong. 
insanely wrong. 
 

Please let us know your science background, please?

I have a doctorate in Anatomy and have done cell biological and clinical research for over 40 years, plus I teach physiology (including basic immunology) and sit on an FDA advisory panel. 

 

Viruses are not cells.  They are basically packages of DNA or RNA generally with a protein coat (capsid) that allows the virus to attach to the host cell.  The Covid-19 spike protein is an example of such.  Upon entry into the host cell the viral DNA uses the host cell’s protein synthetic apparatus to create more copies of the virus.  Eventually the cell dies, the now multiple copies of the virus go on to infect other cells and propagation continues.

 

Vaccines work by inducing the immune system to either make antibodies (humoral response) that block the viral receptors on host cells or induce T cell responses (cellular immunity) that recognize and kill the virus.  Either way, vaccines induce immune responses that decrease the ability of viruses to infect cells, and when that happens the virus is deprived of its ability to propagate.  This is basic virology and immunology.

 

Now, what is your background, and do you want to continue arguing?

This is incorrect.  

 

It's not a blood-born virus that can be "killed off", never has been. 

 

It's a simple cold/flu virus that resides in the Epithelial layers of the Respiratory system, it will be here forever like every other such virus that still could be found embedded in any dead hospital victim ever if we only tested for them.

 

It is slightly more dangerous, slightly more contagious, slightly more transmissable, and comes after two down Flu seasons.

 

It's absurdity.
