Dec 1 - The Day The World Changed:

This is the day the world changed:
Three years ago, the COVID-19 pandemic began.

On this date three years ago, a man walked into Hubei Provincial Hospital in Wuhan, China, reporting flu-like symptoms.
Within two weeks, there were 27 cases showing similar symptoms. Then, just four days before the end of the year, the head of the hospital’s respiratory department, Dr. Zhang Jixian, made a report to state health officials that the cases were caused by “a novel coronavirus.”
At that point, the number of known infections was approaching 180.

Dec. 1 may have been the official start of the local novel coronavirus outbreak that would become a national epidemic that would become the COVID-19 pandemic. But it certainly wasn’t the first actual case.

As early as March 2020, a review of health records suggested that the first case had actually been seen in Wuhan as early as Nov. 17, and that there had been a steady trickle of new cases for two weeks before that first official case.

It would take another two years before scientists were able to pin down what had been suspected all along—the origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus was almost certainly the “wet” market in Wuhan, where a wide variety of wild-caught animals were sold for food and traditional medicine.

A similar market was the source of the original SARS virus in 2002. A combination of health care records and genetic information suggests that the virus made the jump from animals to humans at least twice in the closing months of 2019, though exactly which animal played host to the virus before it made the jump remains unclear.

With all that, it’s hard to give an official date for when the pandemic that has now generated at least 650 million cases and 6.6 million deaths around the world really began. But today is as good a day as any to say, “This is the day the world changed.”

Nancy Messonier, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, one of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, warned that Americans can expect to see the COVID-19 coronavirus spread within the United States, and that “disruption to everyday life may be severe.“

Messonier acknowledged in a press briefing,
“This whole situation may seem overwhelming,”
before revealing that she had been warning her own children that they needed to prepare for what’s coming.

“Ultimately, we expect we will see community spread in this country. It’s not so much a question of if this will happen any more, but rather more exactly when this will happen, and how many people in this country will have severe illness.”

After making that statement, Messonier was carefully removed from public speaking roles, sidelined from her daily briefings, and not made a part of Trump’s task force.

But no one may have given a better summary of what was coming than she did less than two months after
the first announcement from WHO.

153% more Republicans have died from COVID-19 since the Vaccine Arrived.

More Republicans have died from COVID-19 than any other political party since the implementation of the vaccine.
This tragedy is a direct result of the Republican Party's rhetoric against getting vaccinated, while Democrats and scientists encouraged everyone to get their shots. Unvaccinated people are now putting themselves - and others - in grave danger by disregarding this advice.

153% more Republicans have died from the virus compared to Democrats and Independents, which is a stark reminder of why vaccinations are so necessary.
It is time for everyone to listen to the scientists and get vaccinated. Let's save lives together!

Unvaccinated people are putting themselves - and others - at risk of deadly consequences. 153% more Republicans have tragically died from COVID-19 due to the anti-vaccine rhetoric from their party,

How could that be in light of the "robust protection" the vaccine provides for the vaccinated?

It's well established that the vaccine doesn't prevent the vaccinated from contracting covid 19...and it's well established that the vaccine doesn't prevent the vaccinated from transmitting covid 19.. Right? .. What the vaccine does is provide robust protection to the vaccinated, preventing them from getting seriously ill with only mild symptoms .. So the vaccinated aren't at risk of any deadly consequences... Right? ... So it doesn't seem too much to ask to leave the unvaccinated the fuck alone and let them worry about the risks

Being vaccinated prevents a person from
hospitalization and from dying-
If a vaccinated person were to get infected- -
their symptoms are slight no more than a cold or less
as some have not noticed they were infected..
Unvaccinated people are not protected..

you said-
''Unvaccinated people are putting themselves - and others -

Yes unvaccinated people are putting themselves and
other unvaccinated people in grave danger of hospitalization
horrific suffering to possible death..

grack..winter has just begun and all the upcoming holidays.
Just get the shot, and protect yourself..
Stop being a stupid whiner over it-
Covid is here to stay.

Nope.. I didn't write that, Dumfuk
...Is your problem that you can only copy and paste your articles in their entirety, or is it that you really don't know who wrote what, where, or when?
.. This is a very short thread for you to be confused about who wrote what, and there's really no way to dumb it down to make it any easier for you
This is what i wrote

In sarcasm, in case you don't understand that either

I've /snipped your remaining prattle, since it's nothing more than a rerun of what's just been posted .. You obviously have a problem with comprehension

I can't imagine what drives you to continuously lobby for the vaccines here, on this board .. We've given our thoughts and opinions on the subject many times .. Unless you've actually forgotten, didn't bother to read, or have been unable to comprehend

We're all adults here and able to make our own decisions .. Your repeated nagging isn't gonna change them
