  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

From one of the real reporters working the beat in our era…Sharyl Attkisson:

"However, vaccination rates alone tell little about a population’s true immune-status. And where high Covid case counts occur, it ultimately means a larger segment of that community ends up better-protected, vaccines aside. That’s according to virologists who point out that fighting off Covid, even without developing any symptoms, leaves people with what’s thought to be more robust and longer-lasting immunity than the vaccines confer."

Who to believe, scientists or journalists?

It’s a tough one and no mistake.

There’s no question that natural immunity is part of the picture. I suspect that’s one reason case tended to move elsewhere after the initial peaks in the NE. But if you look at cases per 100k, many of the places that are current hot spots have large cumulative case counts per capita, and thus presumably lots of people with immunity. United States COVID: 42,800,494 Cases and 690,715 Deaths - Worldometer (you can click the colum for cases per 100k to sort.) If you compare maps showing current hot spots and vaccination rates, it’s pretty striking. Look at the maps on the main page of The New York Times - Breaking News, US News, World News and Videos

I'm not even particularly endangering myself, because I could get it either way. Maybe I already had it, for all I know, and I'm already partially immune.
By the same token you may be yet to catch it and die from it. If only there was a way to dramatically decrease your risk of death.
