@ButchBaydala @ClaudetteGGibs1 @merry123459 4/ I’m muting this bc I don’t want to talk with people who cannot be reasoned with. I’m tired and sad that babies are being intubated for Covid bc of cowardly, uninformed adults. Just putting this here to correct you so that those reading are not misinformed.

@ButchBaydala @ClaudetteGGibs1 @merry123459 3/they are also still are 90-98% protected from hospitalization and death, thereby protecting their community from the hardships faced by all when hospitals are maxed out.

@ButchBaydala @ClaudetteGGibs1 @merry123459 2/ it’s also being studied how fast the neutralizing antibodies wrap around the virus detected as similar load as unvax’d @ diagnosis—that means much of the spread is neutralized even if the viral load levels are equal to that of unvax’d without the preemptive antibodies.

[mary @marymcmiao]

@ButchBaydala @ClaudetteGGibs1 @merry123459 1/You haven’t kept up. The vaccinated are still significantly less likely to contract Covid. If they do, yes, their Ct value is comparable to the unvaccinated, so possibly just as contagious initially— but the clear the virus significantly faster, meaning they’re R0 is less.

Well I can’t speak to what God said to you, but she was very clear with me. She said I gave you a good mind and heart to obtain an MD PhD at the world’s finest universities, and gave you the passion and zeal to make vaccines and vaccinate the world. Work tirelessly. Do your best

[mary @marymcmiao]

@niceladyhelp @PeterHotez Then all the adults need to put their big boy and girl pants on and do it. So more babies don’t need to be intubated FFS!

@nomoretweedles @jamiegangel I think the “liking” of a story on social media just gets it more visibility. Anyone who actually likes this news is sociopathic. But hitting the “like” button just helps get this news to more eyes in the algorithm.

[mary @marymcmiao]

@jamiegangel I’ve had it with the collective selfishness of unvaccinated, anti-mask adults. I can’t take this anymore. Children should not be suffering from Covid 19. We had/have every resource available to squash this pandemic but are to cowardly and selfish to do it.

I'd take the 1:10 odds for vaccinated: not vaccinated

This is… I do not know what this is. But it’s definitely not public health.

FYI: The US has ~4% of the world’s population but current estimates suggest the US has had ~17% of the world’s COVID cases, so attitudes like this👇🏼are really incorrect.

So many other countries are doing MUCH better than the US at controlling COVID, often without even vaccines!

@mc93823939 @bbbogus_diva @USVaccineCount But honestly, the reason i responded to you is bc your cat pic made me smile. So let’s agree to disagree in peace. Miao-on, my friend! Muting. 💚

[mary @marymcmiao]

@mc93823939 @bbbogus_diva @USVaccineCount I love your cat pic. But you are misinformed.

[mary @marymcmiao]

@mc93823939 @bbbogus_diva @USVaccineCount Lots of evidence & experience with vaccines. Also, lots of evidence that many who had Covid have lost gray matter & have Lewy bodies in their brains, so may suffer what you fear those who took the vaccine will. There is no mechanism by which this could occur from the vaccine.

@ArrBee777 @Cleavon_MD @PattyArquette @SusanSchutte2 Thank you! I am confident in my choice now. But deliberating on said decision back in April and May consumed me with anxiety. I’m due in less than 2 weeks, as given the state of things with delta, I am so relieved to have made the decision I did. Thank you for the kind words. 💚

@Juvepazzo85 @abolishfakenews @auneakeffect @DaveLTurner @American_Heart Muting convo now. Have a good night!
