    Go to minute 25 of the video below for an explanation in the spoken word, that might help. This video also shows studies average about 65% effective in early use and 85% as prophylactic.

     

    Cochrane reviews, Meta-analysis', and systematic reviews (the best types of research) have all shown that ivermectin is non-beneficial. There's no argument to be had until the research shows that's it's effective. 

    Ivermectin will get used once it's shown to be worth it. Until then, it sits on the sidelines.

    Fake news.

     

    The vaccinations have propelled the spread and put far more folks in danger then any other time during this pandemic. 3000 cases per day that they can even count...  

     

    The vaccination does ZERO to keep anyone else safe besides yourself, and the evidence is even showing this to be false as time goes on.  Looks to be a future of boosters every 3 months for life....to keep you "safe"

     

     

    https://news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2021HLTH0245-002461

    Past week, cases per 100,000 population after adjusting for age (Dec. 21-27)

    • Not vaccinated: 318.5
    • Partially vaccinated: 82.6
    • Fully vaccinated: 257.6

    Past two weeks, cases hospitalized per 100,000 population after adjusting for age (Dec. 14-27)

    • Not vaccinated: 17.5
    • Partially vaccinated: 0.0
    • Fully vaccinated: 1.2

    Yea it's not doing much for cases anymore, but look at those hospitalization numbers. 

    How has vaccination propelled the spread. You make it sound like the vaccine is increasing the transmissibility/infectivity of the virus, which is silly. The virus mutated and, as a result of that mutation, has increased it's transmissibility/become more contagious. Vaccination also keeps *everyone* safe by keeping people out of the hospital so that tests/procedures don't get pushed back due to the hospitals overcrowding with severe covid patients.

    Right, I didn't say anything, I asked a question. Why are 25-44 year olds in the States dying so much now that covid death rate is so low. 

    September deaths in the US peaked at around 2000 per day (14,000 a week).

    The graph posted shows about 2300 excess deaths in a two week period.

    What's the concern regarding 2300/28000 deaths (less than 10%) in that age group? Especially since when you go to the data sets, it's easy to see that red, unvaccinated states have generally higher spikes in death rates than vaccinated states.

    Your question has its answer.

     

    If vaccines increased death they would be stopped, immediately. They don't and have shown benefit in all age groups over 5 years old.

    What????? All these guys are double ( if not triple vaxxed)! Perhaps the vaccine isn't as effective as the 85%- 90% listed on the BC-CDC website? 

    Incorrect. Vaccination was tested and shown to have 90+% protection, at the time, against serious illness caused by covid. It is much less effective at protecting from catching the virus.

  5. MVP - Hughes and Garland can share this award, One forward and one defenseman. Very happy with Hughe's improvement in his defensive play this year. 

     

    Surprise - Garland for sure. One for his production but also his production relative to Petey and Boeser.
