https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Kulldorff

quote:

Kulldorff is one of the three authors, along with Sunetra Gupta and Jay Bhattacharya, of the early October 2020 Great Barrington Declaration, which argues for letting COVID-19 spread in lower-risk groups to promote herd immunity while advocating "focused protection" of older, high-risk people. The declaration was sponsored by the American Institute for Economic Research (AIER), a libertarian free market think tank. The World Health Organization (WHO) and numerous academic and public-health bodies said the declaration's strategy was dangerous and lacked a sound scientific basis. They warned that the declaration's strategy could cause many unnecessary deaths, that it would be challenging to shield medically vulnerable people, that the long-term effects of COVID-19 were not yet understood, that herd immunity could be undermined by the limited duration of post-infection immunity, and that it was most likely to cause recurrent epidemics.

Kulldorff has appeared at events and on media platforms to oppose lockdowns, contact tracing and mask mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to support the Great Barrington Declaration. He has spoken out against COVID-19 vaccine passports, but has said he supports vaccinations.

I think it's not that they're trying to deliberately kill us off but instead that our leaders see millions of Americans dying, being given life-ruining disabilities, and/or made destitute as the least bad alternative.

Similar to how, during the cold war, the conventional wisdom among the military leadership and the business and political elite was that tens of millions of Americans dying in nuclear hellfire was an acceptable loss so long as the Soviet Union and communism were destroyed.

so I know that being fully vaxxed drastically lowers the likelihood of hospitalization and death from covid, but that you can still catch, get sick, and transmit the virus if fully vaccinated. I’m wondering, does being fully vaccinated reduces likelihood of catching it, and the amount of virus you shed if you do catch it? or are you just as susceptible to catch it and be a carrier/vector for further spread, but with significantly less consequences to yourself?

also, does vaccination reduce the risk of long covid if you do catch it?

I could have sworn there's been preprints both directions on if vaccinated people spread more or less. Im looking through the covid data spreadsheet though and not seeing it.

If anyone finds it - can you point it out / add it to the spreadsheet?

My understanding is that the current best answers are "not really if your antibodies have waned, but you do shed less virus faster as your body spins up antibody production from its memory of the vaccine" and "maybe"

Yes

Yes, but "sheds less load" can be irrelevant depending on the circumstances of the exposure event

No

If it helps, I caught delta or some other ungodly variant, got pretty sick and my sats still won’t go over 97% with maximal effort when before they were always 100-99%. 3 of my immediate family have come down with it too and all but my youngest were fully vaccinated.

Also evacuating for a hurricane with a family full of covid is not an option so we’re sheltering in place. So much for a peaceful convalescence before returning to the front lines. :(

being vaccinated seems to lower your chances to about 1/6 as likely to catch Delta as an unvaccinated person, which eventually wanes down to 1/3 as likely over time

vaccination only seems to lower your chances of long covid by lowering your chances of infection. once you do get infected, you have a 20% chance of long covid, roughly the same as an unvaccinated person who gets infected

the good news is that vaccinated people getting long covid seems to almost always be loss of smell and taste, and not the more severe things like memory loss and brain fog or loss of lung capacity.

Edit: This is a work in progress.

The Western world, it is implodin'
COVID's flowin', Ida's growin,
Climate change will kill, Al Gore is gloatin'
You'll never take the vax, but what's that paste you're totin'?
And even Lake Pontchartrain has bodies floatin'
But you tell me over and over and over again my friend
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction

Don't you understand what I'm trying to say?
Can't you feel the fear that I'm feeling today?
When my lungs turn to cheese, there's no tissue to save
There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave
Take a look around you boy, it's bound to scare you, boy
But you tell me over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction

Yeah, my blood's so thick, feels like coagulatin'
I'm sittin' here, just ventilatin'
They can't face the truth, the world's a simulation
Handful of Senators won't pass legislation
And COVID alone brings extermination
When NOLA's levees are disintegratin'
This whole crazy world is just too frustratin'
And you tell me over and over and over again my friend
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction

Think of all the COVID there ain't in Red China
Then take a look around, to Selma, Alabama
Bezos may leave here, for four hours in space
But when he returns it's the same old place
The coughing and the dread, the mask on your face
You can count up your dead, but don't leave a trace
Hate your next door neighbor but don't forget to say grace
And you tell me over and over and over and over again my friend
You don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
You don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
