just like the original 2 shots, symptoms will vary from person to person

Anecdotally, from my colleagues regarding Pfizer, people had pretty much the same reaction to the third shot as they did to the second

It'll be interesting to see the data (when we eventually get it) regarding how long the third booster lasts- annual boosters are going to be hugely problematic globally, as they just won't be an option for most countries. We really need to hope either the third booster is much longer lasting or that some next gen vaccines or treatments start to come through that offer much longer suppression/immuntiy. Guess we won't know for several months.

There is a very direct line between the experience with SARS and Avian flu in particular countries that you are ignoring, more than once now. It is directly linked as to why their exposure to COVID in the early 2020 months was much better than the rest of the world (masking had already been commonplace); it wasn't some completely theoretical reason and weak correlation that you are trying to pull without much substantiation.
There are some deep, dark parts of American and Europe that don't report numbers correctly. It happens everywhere. In all sorts of types of governments.
You may have had family and friends who lived in Vietnam (so have I), but have you ever YOURSELF lived in Vietnam or in any commie country for that matter? If not, you are hardly in a position to accuse anyone of ignorance. Especially, since you base your claims on statistics that may plainly be false, as commies are fond of producing such stats.
Other Asian countries would not do, there could be a chasm between any two Asian countries living under different political systems (just compare North and South Koreas).

It is like saying that anyone using the term 'nazis' is stuck back in 1933-1945.
But you are right about my mindset.

I would just look at the VAERS database on injuries https://openvaers.com/covid-data (Though the general info is for all CV vaccines.)
And thanks for the prior info guys.

yes, communist regimes are not transparent about many things and about the welfare of its citizens. Americans melting pot and culture of western settlement, southern rebellious, and northern righteousness all creates a seemingly me first appearance. We even pit siblings into competition sometimes to encourage competitiveness.
Asian cultures family takes pride and shame if one falls or succeeds. Neighborhoods are a source of pride, community and the collective health. Thus if a neighborhood gets covid they are more prone to accept it being quarantined rather the rail against being victomized. They wear masks and have for years. We have morons paint it as “Tyranny” and compare it to the Holocaust. Its a piece of fabric.
If you lived under communist rule I get the inherent mistrust. Using “Commie” is old school and reeks of a time of paranoia and ignorance in our past.
Social media created Trump and dumbed it back down.
Like most things we tend to simplify and lay opinion and easy labels on complex issues. Trump used and failed to gain from the Pandemic. It cost him his presidency in my opinion.
With Freedoms comes responsibilities. Im not so sure most americans understand this. In part the freedom to spend freely but not to provide for retirement? Socialism is vilified as evil with many not seeing Medicare and Social Security as social programs. I have a clown neighbor with a sign “100% american, 0% socialist”. I stoped to say hello and asked him how his retirement was going. He said monthy benefits from both programs was very helpful as was having paid off his house. I live in a very diversified area with houses of varied pricing. He enjoyed the social benefits but wants the illusion of independence. The hard right gravitates toward the autocratic Trump perhaps as way of safety. What they really NEED is socialized retirement and their undereducated kids need more schooling. Not saying 4 year elite, just career training too! We associate high taxes as infringement of liberty rather than an economic discipline.
its all good, but too many are not saving enough and depend on social programs. The MAGA right is confused.
Trump tells you Obama care is bad, but offers not alternative. He is intellectually void, sociopath, cognitive deficient and narcissistic. Bad for democracy. We’ll lose it gravitating to a man like that who gains fans but offers little substance. Bad for your health Too. He did not create the pandemic but he set the minds of americans on the wrong path. Like a massive war, we would have been better to galvanize the country into unity to combat the disease. The Asian countries did well with that. The health of all is a good thing.

Yes
But really one doesn't really need to in order to bring the sorts of reasoning and evidence and thought process that has been widely put forth and available about why some countries have faired better than others during this COVID pandemic. A lot of it has to do with the types of leaders and leadership process and the people and culture themselves. For example, after initial blasts, NY and CA have done pretty well; states with dumb fuck leaders and residence who continue to ignore common sense, have not. All of those states have the same type of so called democratic underpinnings, it just doesn't matter.
Even IF a country like Vietnam fudged their numbers - just like any other country could and most likely have - it wouldn't explain why their natural way of living and cultural experiences HAVE changed the trajectory of COVID infections into their communities, especially pre vaccines.
Above and beyond the 1 antidotal thread of commonality you have based your entire point on, it just doesn't hold much weight against everything else that is also happening, none of which you choose to consider or address, relying more on the hopes that I have zero association with Vietnam or a communist regime - you fail grossly on that point.

I find it a bit fishy that you first claim that it is your family that lived in Vietnam, then say it was yourself, but whatever, no good to argue with the host. As long as you admit the possibility of them faking their numbers - in repressive systems with no civil society to keep the authorities in check it is par for the course - which has been my point exactly. And any statistical analysis based on fudged numbers is, well, not worth the paper it is written on, which has been my other point exactly.

You can keep moving the goal posts if you like, won't help you one bit. And if you like, please go ahead and start up front with yourself and reveal all of your personal details and background, cause you haven't, I feel no need to.
You started by projecting your own country's experiences onto another and tying them together based off of their gov't type - while literally ignoring everything else, stuff that is fairly grounded and out there to absorb - and landed on the statement concerning the earth shattering conclusion that stats aren't good if you can't relay on them cause of the possibility when fudging numbers? I mean, I'll give you kudos with being good with the obvious.
After that, you remain oblivious to the fact that there are a lot of other really good reasons for things to play out the way they have, a couple of which I have stated. That is literal ignorance.

Aaron Rodgers Didn't Just Lie
His lies, his illogical defense, and his hubris damage all professional athletes.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Nov 8
Professional athletes have come so far from the dark days when the public saw them as perpetually partying adolescents, mean-spirited bullies, and worse: dim-wits one step above tackling dummies on the evolutionary scale. Today, many players are eloquent spokespersons as well as admirable athletes. This hard-fought change occurred gradually over decades as more and more athletes proved themselves to be passionate and articulate advocates for a better, more inclusive society.
This shift in public perception is especially important when we understand how impactful athletes are in influencing our children. According to a Kaiser Family Foundation study, children 10-17 years old admire famous athletes second (73 percent) only to their parents (92 percent). That’s a sacred trust not to be abused. Unfortunately, the pandemic has revealed several athletes who abuse their position and responsibility, not just to the public, but to other professional athletes’ livelihood.
That latest egregious abuser is Green Bay quarterback and three-time MVP Aaron Rodgers who directly and deliberately lied to fans and the public when he assured everyone he was “immunized,” knowing that word would be interpreted as his being vaccinated. He wasn’t vaccinated. And he got COVID-19. And he went maskless during in-person press conferences, which not only violated NFL rules, but put everyone else’s health at risk.
Instead of consulting immunologists, he consulted anti-vaxxer and podcast host Joe Rogan, who also contracted the virus. If he ever requires open-heart surgery will he hand the scalpel to romance writers because they know about matters of the heart? While many who came into contact with him thought he was vaccinated, Rodgers had embarked on his own regimen to boost his “natural immunity.” He failed, as any scientist could have told him—and as they have been publicly telling us for over a year. University of Michigan microbiologist Ariangela Kozik explained that achieving “natural immunity” through these homeopathic methods is a non-starter because vaccines inform our immune system what the virus looks like so the body can build its own protection.
Rodgers compounded his lie by adding another lie. While being interviewed about the backlash on the Pat McAfee Show, he claimed that a league doctor told him “it would be impossible for a vaccinated person to catch or spread COVID.” However, the NFL responded by saying no doctor from the league or consultants from the NFL-NFLPA communicated with the players. And if they had, they wouldn’t have given such clear misinformation, which anyone who’s read a newspaper or watched a legitimate news show would already know. No medical expert claimed the vaccine prevents getting or transmitting the virus, only that their chances of spreading it to others or developing severe symptoms themselves are significantly reduced.
What’s especially bothersome is that Aaron Rodgers didn’t just lie and threaten the health of those around him, he also damaged professional sports. Many athletes make a lot of money on product endorsements, which depends on the public’s favorable perception of athletes. In 2020, global sports sponsorship was worth about $57 billion. Yet, every time a pro athlete like Kyrie Irving (anti-vax), Henry Ruggs (speeding at 156 mph, crashing, and killing someone), Evander Kane (forging vaccination card), or Aaron Rodgers does or says something stupid, the public trust in athletes lowers and sponsors might consider avoiding players in favor of actors, pop stars, or social media influencers. Steph Curry and LeBron James don’t have to worry, but some up-and-comers might not get the same opportunities.
Rodgers’ ignorance regarding the science of immunology brings back to life the old stereotype of the big dumb jock. His utter lack of even the most basic knowledge and logic is shocking. In an effort to defend his lying, he stated, “This idea that it’s a pandemic of the unvaccinated, it’s just a total lie … If the vaccine is so great, then how come people are still getting covid and spreading covid and, unfortunately dying of covid?” Those two statements don’t even belong together. Statistics from many sources conclude that around 97 percent of those being hospitalized or who have died in the past several months are unvaccinated. The CDC found that the unvaccinated are 11 times more likely to die than those vaccinated. If he thinks that’s a lie, what credible evidence does he have? None.
The second part of his statement that laments the vaccine isn’t that great because people are still dying and getting sick is staggeringly illogical. People are still getting COVID—like him and Joe Rogan—because they didn’t get vaccinated. Yes, some people who have been vaccinated have also caught it, but a lot fewer of them than the unvaccinated, and their symptoms are generally more mild. His logic is like someone having a debt of $50,000 and a friend offers to give them a gift of $40,000. But they complain that it isn’t the full amount so they aren’t accepting the gift.
He also claimed he was allergic to ingredients in the vaccine, but offered no proof, which may be why the NFL denied his petition for vaccine exemption. Statistically, only 21 out of two million vaccinated people had severe allergic reactions. He also expressed concern over fertility issues, even though there is a greater risk of infertility from COVID-19, which he has.
Rodgers complained that the “cancel culture” was coming for him, but his own words cancel him as a liar and a bad thinker. If he had a principled objection to the vaccine, he could have chosen not to play, like Kyrie Irving, who at least is honest. What really sacked his whining stance was his refusal to wear a mask during interviews to protect others from sickness and death. That was merely his hubris and arrogance against what he called the “woke mob.” In this case, woke means compassion and responsibility toward others. He might also remember that the only reason he is able to play in front of crowds again is because all those suckers got vaccinated.
What will happen to Aaron Rodgers? Other than the brief suspension probably very little. He’s a valuable asset to a multi-billion dollar industry. The deal he signed with the Packers in 2018 is worth $134 million, plus the $9 million for commercial endorsements such as the one he has with Adidas, State Farm Insurance, and others. He has lost one endorsement: Prevea Health, a health care provider, cancelled their contract because his actions were contrary to their commitment to encourage vaccines to end the pandemic. When Rodgers signed with the company in 2019, Dr. Ashok Rai, president and CEO of Prevea, remarked at the time, “As one of the most respected athletes in the country, Aaron is truly passionate about improving the health and wellness of our communities.” That, too, turned out not to be true.
I can’t help but think of Colin Kaepernick, who was blacklisted by the NFL for passively expressing his frustration with systemic racism—a brave act meant to help his community and save lives—while multi-millionaire Rodgers will continue to play, despite lying to the fans and his teammates and putting innocent lives in danger. Time will tell whether Rodgers will be judged by the content of his character or the strength of his throwing arm.
Im not one to get into consumer protest and I am a 35 year client of Statefarm. This bothers me a bit. Insurance Companies find you in a fib it costs or they protect theselves.
Problem is if State farm Cancels Rogers now right wing anti what evers will cancel them perhaps. The problem with endorsement personalities are this very issue. The Geico Gekko has not issues. Flo from Progressive is an actor playing a charactor. She can be a nut job, she gets fired. Nobody cares. Jared from Subway? He in Jail and subway took small hit but who gonna argue with a pedophile convict. He fired an it was good.
Kyrie for some time has killed his brand. Uncle Drew was brilliant and fun but after his flat earth comments and unpredictable nature he kind of faded out.
Rogers is a hero, MVP, reputation as a smart dude, bit salty in his personal/family life but thats his business.
Kareem had some good points. At least Kyrie was open and honest even if ignorant. Aaron put others in jeopardy. Pun intended.
That was not cool. Getting advice from radio personality known for his non unifying views and now rails that the liberal left is coming for him. No dude, they coming for what you did, not for who you are.
Not sure what I’ll do with Statefarm. My agent retired a few years ago and died, not really tight with new guy. I will shop it and perhaps if savings are there I’ll do it. Statefarms app is quite amazing. Had a claim, too pictures, did all the paperwork electronically, and settlement all thru the phone. My company has a affiliate insurance Brokerage and I intended to price it anyway. LIke I said hate to be that guy.
State farm and the NFL likley suspends him a small bit, maybe he stops being a dick to leave Green Bay and maintains some damage control to his image.
Kareem is a national treasure and has been his whole career. On and off the court he really is the true Goat. The chips, the stats, longevity, and dominance as a single player. His only mistep was being used as a symbol by the nation of Islam. He was misrepresented and the public did not know what to do with it. It was a different time and radical element promoted violence to some extent. Once he got away from them, and was better understood the public respect was regained.
Its not that I agree or disagree with everything he says. He does it thoughtfully and with intelligence without the emotional charge. Aaron Rogers has a lot to learn. His best course was to basically admit he messed up, say he was a bit confused and let his views get the better of him. Digging in rarely works. Now he has to face what ever comes his way and divide things even more. I doubt he saw himself ever being a symbol but here he is with consequences. Most likley this blows over with little damage. But he will have a longer window to a second career if it was to be public, unless it involves politics.

We all knew it was coming sooner or later. Hopefully they catch this variant before it spreads and becomes our new normal like the Delta. This one seems to spreads faster, evade immunization better and cause extremely high viral loads. The fact that two people who was never in direct contact in 2 separate rooms can transfer it between themselves with both having very high viral loads is concerning. This one also seems to have different spike proteins due to many mutations than the other variants. Seeing as the spike proteins are the basis of the vaccines attack that could be why the second fully vaxxed person still caught it so easily while in quarantine. This new variant is coming right when dumb people are trying to go about life like COVID is no longer a thing. For example, the OKC Thunder are lifting their vaxx and testing policies soon.
