The gamble is like rolling the dice, unfortunately for many, it will come up snake eyes.

I scrolled through the link and had them send me an email of their findings vaccinated versus unvaccinated ending up in ICU. Now if you were are betting man or woman would you put your bucks on the left or the right side of the chart?View attachment 2003164

Here's more from the same report and the whole report as reported from the site.

A study on COVID vaccinated vs. unvaccinated that required hospitalization

Researchers compared the characteristics of fully vaccinated and boosted and unvaccinated patients requiring hospitalization for COVID-19.

There's so many different views in the world. But so many are controlled by a few (too few) it's always interesting to read another view on what is happening in the mainstream news.

"Follow the $$$" they say, it's in so many shows, and in so many things that happen in life.

Bill Gates’s stranglehold on the MSM
"Less widely known is that he has spent hundreds of millions bankrolling news outlets, in the process turning the GF into one of journalism’s main gatekeepers. According to Tim Schwab of Columbia Journalism Review, by last June more than $250million had gone to news operations including the BBC, NBC, Al Jazeera, ProPublica, National Journal, the Guardian, the Financial Times, Univision, Medium, the Atlantic, the Texas Tribune, Gannett, Washington Monthly, Le Monde, and the Center for Investigative Reporting; and to charitable organisations affiliated with news outlets, like the BBC’s Media Action and the New York Times’s Neediest Cases Fund."

https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/bill-gatess-stranglehold-on-the-msm-part-2-britain/"

"Gates also funds an army of independent fact checkers including the Poynter Institute and Gannett which, Kennedy points out, use their platforms to silence detractors and to debunk as ‘false conspiracy theories’ and ‘misinformation’ charges that Gates has championed and invested in sinister endeavours like biometric chips, vaccine passports and satellite systems."

I/we have always towed the line so to speak, listening to the mainstream, and allowing it to generally inform our ways and thoughts and dreams.

But seriously the past 18-24 months the whole thing that has been happening in our own little world and the lifes of many others has us really questioning the narrative as a whole.
Turning off he switch has in part saved a whole lot of questioning, but it seems when the switch is turned back on the change is getting slippery.

65 vaccinated vs 2,935 unvaccinated.
Hints of less vaccinated people being hospitalized than unvaccinated people.
But does not tell how many vaccinated vs unvaccinated people exist. Or thier exposure rates.

Afternoon RC
One also had to take into account that the stat was compiled from the Delta variant.
The different and present Omicron variant has a different response it seems.
So one again apples and oranges.

When I was tested positive they don’t tell you what variant it is. I guess with intense lab work they might could. My doctor came in after the swab and said you have Covid and got the heck out of Dodge.

I'm feeling quite good. Going to run on my treadmill and we shall see how that goes.

John if you feel like getting on a treadmill, you may not have Covid. Just saying. I’m in my third day and still feel like the devil.

Perhaps though definitely had symptoms of omicron. I had also spent time in a small apartment that all tested positive. Hence why I got called up. Still staying away from people. Only issue I'm having is a slightly sore throat with flem. My ankles are sore and knees along with lower back but just a minor annoyance

The song heavily samples the 1963 track “Be My Baby” by the Ronettes. As such Ronnie Spector’s feature on the song is due to her reprising her role from that original hit tune.
Eddie Money (1949-2019) also tried out his pal Martha Davis of The Motels as vocalist for these parts, initially believing that he could not realistically get Ronnie Spector on board. But Martha also supported the idea of bringing in Ronnie Spector.

Indeed in convincing Ronnie Spector to participate, Eddie described “Take Me Home Tonight” as a tribute to her. In fact what ultimately did convince her to participate was hearing her own name in the lyrics.
Eddie Money later admitted he was not particularly fond of “Take Me Home Tonight”. However, he still celebrates the fact that he released it since it revitalized Ronnie Spector’s career as well as getting Money’s own, which had been derailed by drug addiction, back on track.

Eddie Money! Right up there with the best!

Hello everyone. Sorry I haven’t been posting. 4 of us got Covid. 3 Are not vaxed, 1 (me) has one dose of Moderna. I had the absolute least of the symptoms. Not really sure if I am still having headaches from it or the stress. One of my friends had to go to the ER and was treated and released. Our friends are still recovering. Hubby has been in the hospital since Saturday. It’s bad. I could really use your prayers. I seen ARC and family has it, JVA5TH your mom, and Treasure Hunter and wife. I am praying for you. The 2nd week is the hardest we were told by a doctor. It does come in waves it seems. Relentless attacks. Rusty I was glad to see you and yours were recovering. I may be off the site for a while. Take care and stay in hermitsville.

Thanks for the update WD,hoping for a complete and quick recovery for you all! Prayers going out for all the pirates!!

 

[JVA5th]

Well that definitely was more unpleasant than usual so definitely not at 100%

Some of the treasures on the property.

This year I plan on going further north, considering Dawson City.
