Sorry, Butterfly, I missed your postGary, this is the first I've heard of your son's death, and I'm so very sorry for your loss.
Yeah, it was quite the shock
Some things in life just bring you to yer knees
Not supposed to outlive yer kids

That's very sad. It's the wrong order.Not supposed to outlive yer kids
Given the extent to which new case rates seem to map to higher vaccination rates, there are some questions that need to be asked yet again.Just an interesting piece of information that does not seem to be an isolated example. Why would the most heavily vaccinated areas have the highest new case rates? ADE?

There needs to be a major focus on antibody testing for immunity studies. Along those lines, this just came across my wires a bit ago (I many have seen/posted it earlier/somewhere else)They should be doing more testing of the vaxxed and previously infected to see more precisely what this variant is doing. Some places they are saying hospitals and doctors are skipping testing if vax is on record.
The WSJ article is quite telling. And yes, the answer is easy and obvious.There needs to be a major focus on antibody testing for immunity studies. Along those lines, this just came across my wires a bit ago (I many have seen/posted it earlier/somewhere else)
Precision Vaccinations: Natural Immunity After COVID-19 Found Durable and Robust
Also of interest was WSJ: Why Is the FDA Attacking a Safe, Effective Drug? The answer to that one is easy and obvious.
Some sources state that blood type can impact a person's ability to either contract or ward off a covid infection with O type blood making it harder to acquire a virus load sufficient to get a full on covid infection. In other words, they say type O shows more resiliency to the viral attack.When did you get the virus?
Are you sure that is what they said?
Group O+ is the most common blood type and I don't think Group Os have more natural immunity than A, B or AB.
Yes......you have to remain vigilant about those little nasties.I'm trusting behaviour modification more than natural immunity right now.
My immune system has always been robust but I am happy to have it educated by appropriate inoculation against the nastier pathogens.
Gary O',Glad you're doing fine
My son didn't fare so well
He died four days after getting the Moderna shot
Healthy as a horse
49 yrs old
Dropped in his tracks at the kitchen sink
We're not getting the shot....and we're doing fine
Is it true type A is most susceptible to it? That's what I read/heard a long while ago. I don't even remember anymore. I can't quite tell from the MIT chart.Some sources state that blood type can impact a person's ability to either contract or ward off a covid infection with O type blood making it harder to acquire a virus load sufficient to get a full on covid infection. In other words, they say type O shows more resiliency to the viral attack.
But I've not done much research on it myself.
Well, uh......you're fully vaccinated & "have no faith in it." There's a joke in there somewhere.My over 90 YO stepfather was on the fence about it. He told me last evening though he went into the drug store and got his first shot, goes back in 3 weeks for the second. I think the delta variant finally did it.
I'm fully vaccinated, have no faith in the thing and I'm keeping my mask on.

Curiosity got the best of me and I have found a report about a Canadian study that supports your statement about immune variability according to blood type.Some sources state that blood type can impact a person's ability to either contract or ward off a covid infection with O type blood making it harder to acquire a virus load sufficient to get a full on covid infection. In other words, they say type O shows more resiliency to the viral attack.
