"I Know, a bunch of gringos here who did get the shot, but strangely none of them are dying." Not surprising since such a small & of people die from this virus with or without the vaccine.
Agreed -just a small number die.
But looking closer at the numbers....
older people, compromised people, etc skew the numbers up somewhat.
They seem to be more at risk...and therefore in need of a vaccine
The idea (I think) is to try to get 75% of the population vaccinated to 'tamp down' the virus
There is no clear - sure fire- path yet.... still a crap shoot

older people, compromised people" This would apply to many illnesses. I'm in the states visiting my mom for a few weeks and thank God for the shape and strength she has at 93 years old. Still works in her garden most days. Every year she says she won't put in tomatoes the next year but sure enough she has some tomatoes already getting ripe, 2 cucumbers already picked and a few peppers on the plants.
Fear supersedes rational thinking and common sense.
So you value the older and infirm, who aren't blessed like your Moms, less than others. Especially if their views differ from yours. Got it.
Only an absolute IDIOT would Misinterpret/ ie not comprehend what you just wrote there ...i
ts crystal clear to any other Sane person.
Happy to hear your mom is still doing well at 93 ... many more years to her ..
but YES... Many people in their 80s and 90s are not so lucky, and NOT in good health any longer ..
SO YES, Logically they are skewing the #s ....
Not that long ago it was always said " if she gets Pnymonia ,she wont make it " , when speaking of a loved one in their 90s , who was unfortunate enough to have her health Failing and perhaps Hospitalized .
Which is exactly what happened to my grandmother , in her 90's .. long before this Covid ..
Sorry folks , but your Loved ones , yes they will eventually Pass on from one thing or another
.. and one day it will be our turn .
This is the Circle of Live ..
I see nothing weong with people having opposing views however those views should not be used as an excuse to impose restrictions on other people's lives. Ebola was the real deal. You caught it, you were done yet life moved on. Covid is more of an excuse at this point. Am I right or am I right?
Covid has turned fear into a virtue for many people, especially the press.
I could be wrong but Ebola has never been a real threat for any of your healthy 90 yr old mom, that s the difference.
No disrespect to ANYONES Mom, or any 90 year old ..
but if we take your underlying statement to its extreme conclusion..
WE , should ALL give up our Freedoms and Rights ? .. so that EVERY 90 Year old can be guaranteed to LIVE to 100 ?
or at least NOT EVER EVER come into contact with Covid...
Really
is that the goal now ?
My underlying statement?
Ebola isnt Covid, it didnt affect people in the same locations. Quite simple. As tragic as it was, no similarities.
No underlying statement.
Ebola was the REAL DEAL... a Real KILLER ... there is no disputing it
Covid is = to Pneumonia ...... My assertion, and many others
Both Pneumonia and covid Kill Older people and the weaker ..... can we agree on that ?
No one was comparing Covid to Ebola ,, we were merely DEFINING them
one is a Killer of all .. the other kills Mostly Older and people with pre existing .. although there are exceptions ..
No disrespect.. but you are all over the place .. or back peddling .
From the NY Times today, a way to extend controls is needed so now we have this since poor areas of the world are breeding variants that the current vaccines may not control. They are now assigning "politically correct" names to these new variants instead of naming the country where they spawned.

As Virus Variants Spread, ‘No One Is Safe Until Everyone Is Safe’
Rich countries are buying up coronavirus vaccines, leaving poorer regions vulnerable — and as potential breeding grounds for variants, like one found in South Africa, that could make vaccines less effective.
