Hello Onecent. You have no idea what you are talking about. Vaccines do not cause resistant strains of virus. People who get the virus, especially those that are not vaccinated and carry a huge viral load on their bodies, are the soup for the next variant. Your chitter chatter and talking like you are some expert is dangerous and wrong. You talk about conspiracies and protecting people from them? you are part of the problem. People. Get vaccinated and don't take antibiotics for a virus. Also don't drink bleach or take de-wormer. Onecent. Halfcent should be your name.

John, when you cannot convince people to get vaccinated, I agree with you. This problem is never going away. We know that. But the intensity of the surges is all based upon who is vaccinated and who is not. I have been reading all kinds of posts for months related to people's conspiracy riddled ideas about the vaccine. Unfortunately, unless the goverment mandates everyone get vaccinated? This little country of ours is going to have many ongoing problems. I am on the same page as you and the U.S. has its group of anti-vaxers that are idiots and adding to the inability of that country to get some level of stabilization.

By the way. Get vaccinated so we can get our country churning again. For the idiots who think there is a chip in the vaccine, no hope for you. Good luck.
By the way, we spent our way into this. Blame anyone and everyone you want. We wrote the checks and did not have the cash to back it up. Blaming IMF and others is such a weak cop out.

Death by ventilator is a rediculous theory. with the limited number of ventilators we had/have, there math does not add up. An over reaction of your immune system inflames you lung tissue, along with the potential of blood clots also. All from the Virus. Not from a life saving piece off equipment. People that are put on ventilators are very very sick to begin with. Might as well blame their deaths on the color of the room. Yes, it is true they have stopped being as aggressive with ventilators with instead using cheap steroids and hyper oxygen devices to deliver oxygen to the patients, but the fundamental issue is if you were vaccinated the likelihood of you being in the ICU is reduced dramatically. Plane simple truth. Get vaccinated and quit all of you listening to the crazies talking.

COVID-19 continues to be a leading cause of death in the U.S. in September 2021

COVID-19 was the third leading cause of death across most of 2020, but in December 2020 and early 2021, the illness surged and briefly became the number one leading cause of death in the U.S., far surpassing even cancer and heart disease deaths in those months.
With the rapid uptake in vaccinations in the months when vaccines first became widely available, COVID-19 deaths fell sharply. COVID-19 dropped to the number 7 leading cause of death in the U.S. in July 2021.
However, with the more infectious COVID-19 Delta variant, insufficient vaccination rates, and local and state governments easing up social distancing restrictions, COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths increased again. Vaccination rates are particularly lagging for younger adults and people living in certain states. As of October 7, 2021, about 78% of adults (ages 18+) in the U.S. have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose and over 50 million adults remain unvaccinated.
This brief revisits where deaths from COVID-19 rank among leading causes of death in the U.S. We find that COVID-19 was the second leading cause of death in September 2021. We also find in September COVID-19 was the number 1 cause of death for people age 35-54 and among the top 7 leading causes of death for people in other age groups.
We also estimate how many COVID-19 deaths were among unvaccinated adults and could have been prevented since June 2021 when safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines became widely available to all adults in the U.S. From June through September 2021, approximately 90,000 COVID-19 deaths among adults likely would have been prevented with vaccination.
COVID-19 was the 2nd leading cause of death in the U.S. in September 2021
Looking at the most recent data available on deaths from COVID-19 and other causes, we estimate that COVID-19 was the number 2 leading cause of death in the U.S. in September 2021. Deaths from other causes represent the daily average deaths from January through June of this year. (Average daily deaths from accidents and suicides in the chart above are from 2020, as 2021 data are not yet available.)
The number of daily deaths from COVID-19 had decreased remarkably from the once staggering 3,135 deaths per day in January 2021 but started increasing again, in August 2021, with the Delta variant wave. In September 2021, COVID-19 took the lives of 1,899 people per day on average. By comparison, heart disease, which is typically the number one cause of death in the U.S. each year, leads to the death of about 2,000 Americans per day, and cancer claims about 1,600 American lives per day, on average.
As of October 2021, COVID-19 deaths are declin

Twocent,
Impressive list of many drugs therapies that had minor to disastrous effects. You do recall that people were dying exponentially with Covid and there was not an end in sight before the vaccines were introduced. Yes hernias are uncomfortable, obesity is a variable for early death and other comorbidities, Celebrex is still prescribed today for specific pain reduction and without a vaccination for Covid and given a person's age, weight, sex, blood type, and other underlying medical conditions, death was a significant outcome. No one can catch your hernia, obesity, pain, silicone implants for mostly the enlargement of breasts..... this is a therapeudic to deal with a world wide pandemic. There is a distinction. Will we know the long term effects? No. But the options were not many and anti-parasite drugs, vitamin D, Vitamin C and crystals hanging from your neck were not going to provide you protection. You might get Covid and get little or no symptoms or you could die. That is a different choice to make then the products you listed that were anywhere from not effective to completely deadly disasters. Context of the illness/disease is important. A world pandemic overloading ICU units all over the world is different. Sorry if you don't agree.

Idiotic not to get a vaccine. I wish all you nut jobs well. You watch my prediction on tourism drop when the next major surge takes place in this country. Conspiracy riddled village idiots.

Classic. Leave it to our own people, not the Government this time, to be blamed for their ignorance and stupidity in not getting the vaccine. Our continued delusional conspiracy riddled feelings towards getting vaccinated will be the final nail in our already debt ridden and destroyed economy. We demand proof that visitors are vaccinated/ and or a PCR test to enter our country. What happens when visitors stop coming because we have a bunch of unvaccinated citizens and Covid has another surge? There going to say, "We have to be tested ($ and time) to visit your covid riddled paradise? Not to mention we are still the most expensive destination in the caribbean? Death nail.

Who's left to be vaccinated? about 60% of the whack jobs like you
