Trust me, your posts on this topic make this ABUNDANTLY clear

No they’re not

Pace yourself, it's a new year

I saw this title and just assumed it was a list of your posts from the past 12 months Happy New Years!

Speaking of cold days, how's the trip?

That's your response to a post about a shooting that involved an injured cop...You have a 'back the blue' sticker on the back of your truck?

When a new infection occurs, cells called plasmablasts provide antibodies, but when the virus is cleared, longer lasting memory B cells move in to monitor blood for signs of reinfection. Bone marrow plasma cells (BMPCs) also exist in bones, acting as “persistent and essential sources of protective antibodies.” According to Ellebedy, “A plasma cell is our life history, in terms of the pathogens we’ve been exposed to,” and it’s in these long-lived BMPCs were immunity to SARS-CoV-2 resides. Long-Term Immunity Likely After COVID-19 Infection For the study, blood samples were collected from 77 people who had recovered from COVID-19, about one month after the onset of symptoms; most had experienced mild cases. Additional blood samples were collected three more times at three-month intervals to track antibody production; memory B cells and bone marrow were also collected from some of the participants. Levels of anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (S) antibodies declined rapidly in the first four months after infection, then slowed over the next seven months. The most exciting part of the research is that, at both seven months and 11 months after infection, most of the participants had BMPCs that secreted antibodies specific for the spike protein encoded by SARS-CoV-2. The BMPCs were found in amounts similar to those found in people who had been vaccinated against tetanus or diphtheria, which are considered to provide long-lasting immunity. “Overall, our data provide strong evidence that SARS-CoV-2 infection in humans robustly establishes the two arms of humoral immune memory: long-lived BMPCs and memory B cells,” the researchers noted. This is perhaps the best available evidence of long-lasting immunity, Radbruch and Chang explained, because this immunological memory is a distinct part of the immune system that’s essential to long-term protection, beyond the initial immune response to the virus: In addition, in 2020 it was reported that people who had recovered from SARS-CoV — a virus that is genetically closely related to SARS-CoV-2 and belongs to the same viral species — maintained significant levels of neutralizing antibodies at least 17 years after initial infection. This also suggests that long-term immunity against SARS-CoV-2 should be expected. Ellebedy even said the protection is likely to continue “indefinitely”: References Nature May 24, 2021 NewsWise May 24, 2021 Nature June 14, 2021 Nature. 1997 Jul 10;388(6638):133-4. doi: 10.1038/40540 Nature May 26, 2021 Adv Immunol. 2002;80:115-81. doi: 10.1016/s0065-2776(02)80014-1 Nature. 1997 Jul 10;388(6638):133-4. doi: 10.1038/40540 European Journal of Immunology May 19, 2021 Emerg Microbes Infect. 2020; 9(1): 900–902 FFS…You do realize that the first known US death from the Omicron variant was somebody who had been preciously infected.

Your stamina on this is downright impressive

I finally understand why my wife insists on buying organic!

Wow, you found the "Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency" document. When anti-vaxxers give themselves a fancy name and buy a URL with a '.org' domain they can post all types of bullshit and people looking to confirm their biases will eat it the fuck up! Here's a link to the original document: https://phmpt.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/5.3.6-postmarketing-experience.pdf These guys got a bit crafty trying to make it look like a legit Pfizer doc: the header has the research name of the vaccine, they're lawsuit-seekingly close to claiming that the whole thing was prepared by Pfizer on page 1, and they even put a file-path stamp on the side of the document...from that stamp, you can clearly see that it was in the 'approved' folder, so you know it is extra verified and totally good. Come on, Doctor! Put that big, multisyllabic brain of yours to use before you regurgitate this type of shit

I'd suggest you wake up to the lies, but we all know how you feel about wokeness. You're getting damn near Trumpian now: There's evidence, mounds of evidence, but you won't share it to protect Ken's feelings.

You have any links to reputable reports that make that comparison? How often do recipients of the Pfizer vaccine require medical intervention? Are you making things up again?

....and did you hear what happened to Nicki Minaj's cousin's friend in Trinidad?!?!?!?!

Again, the fact that two people decided to have a duel over 200 years ago has ZERO relevance to someone unloading semi-auto weapons into kids who were just trying to go to school. I'm not a parent and I won't pretend to understand the difficulty of the decision you've got to make with your step-daughter in the aftermath of this, but I wish you and your family the best.

The had a duel, they didn't go shoot up the school house...see the difference?

This certainly is the thread for gabled thinking.

Can I offer you some hand lotion?

I think I’m just beer butt-hurt. Been stuck in TX for way too long….just landed in Toronto all pumped to get some Alexander Keith’s in me but there’s not a drop of it to be found in the airport! And the bars will all be closed by the time I land in Sydney tonight….not a snob, just butt-hurt

Bill, From a brief meeting at Eloy years ago to reading your posts here, I’ve had nothing but the upmost respect for you…please don’t ruin that by telling you’re a fan of Molson.

When the culture is such that any asshat can pick up a gun with less fuss than what’s involved with adopting a cat from the shelter, stupid dipshits end up (briefly) shutting down airports. https://www.npr.org/2021/11/20/1057661558/atlantas-airport-had-an-active-shooter-scare-as-millions-prepare-for-holiday-tra

Nothing counters my point that your argument is weak like posting a meme!

The actually worship Space Jesus. While the location and era of his birth would suggest that Space Jesus was a little green man, modern literature depicts him as a 6'5 white dude with flowing blond hair....weird

How many people on here have tried to start a conversation with you about the fact that your definition of 'woke' is extreme at best and doesn't fit with the rest of the world? Instead of having any kind of conversation, you just keep trotting out random links to articles that you believe prove your point...it's just getting downright masturbatory at this point!

Ron, is that you???

You really can't figure out why doctors were discouraging the use of Ivermectin, just as dipshits were calling poison control after getting a bad dose from the feed shop?
