Yeah, can we keep the Facebook Karen shit out of this thread. Seriously
You really think the dozens (is it even that many?) of people around the world with blood clot issues after vaccination are responsible for a 12% rise in one of their blood thinning drugs? Did you know that about 30% of Covid patients who go into ICU experience blood clots? I think that number might be slightly more significant.

Nothing to do with Covid vaccinations.
Given the data I've seen, if I had a blood clot problem, I'd take the Pfeizer vaccine to improve my chances with my blood clots... regardless of the Covid stuff.
Those are impressive odds, considering Germany reported one in every 90,000 vaccinations, for example. Must be something in the water there.
What he said, basically
We didn't have a national lockdown before, it was state by state. I totally believe Biden and his clown crew would pull something like that.
Fake news.
Poso is pretty reliable actually. But these leaks could also be used to gauge online response and adjust accordingly.
Interesting theory. There are valid reasons to float an idea and disown it later if it goes south in a hurry.
But I don't see it. Delta is bad, but it's not been nearly as bad as the US peak last summer. So why now and not then? Doesn't add up. And then there's what you pointed out about the fact that it's been down to states.
Managing through seems like the only realistic course from where the US is currently. We've kind of done that already here in Portugal, as we along with the UK and Russia were the initial Delta hotspots in Europe several weeks ago but now our R is < 1.
Of course, people still wear masks outside here for the most part, so there's greater support and compliance for public health policies overall, unlike the US. But our vaccination rates are similar, even if Portugal is soon to pass the US in fully vaccinated.
