Also I think you screenshot is NOT something you looked up on the OED website, but something you found on one of your "Fake News" websites. I'd love to see the link because that parenthetical statement seems to be an insert.

I read that line as the word used in context, whether or not you define "against" as directly or indirectly..

 

[longcast]

Too much flip flopping back and forth, on what works and what doesn't work. Mask work, mask don't work. You get the shot no need for mask, now you need it. Too much shoving it down our throats and rushing. I think it's one political scam. I'm still not taking the jab yet and like I said for work since it's being pushed so hard, I'll get tested when need be.

So you mean sort of a playbook written in pencil so you can make changes on the fly by using an eraser and updating certain parts of the book on an everchanging playing field?

Just saw a report that the Moderna shot last up to 6 months.
So basically it’s a flu shot?

Yes, that's a couple of hours old, while yesterday the noise was no need "yet"...

What else could u get for what is at its core an enhanced by man
Flu
Flu shots are not everlasting gob stoppers
Nor do you eradicate the flu
At least not to date

everyone better get their heads around that or were going to be at odds

forever

Been to several medical & research facilities in the tristate area over the last few weeks. People are starting to deny me access again at some. Other places are having their researchers work remotely. Reminds me of way back when all this started. I got a hunch the flu will no longer be around this fall and everything will be covid. I smell a lockdown coming. I hope I’m wrong.

Regrettably, I think you're correct...

Flu or the cold hasn't been around since this started. I agree about a lockdown coming, hopefully not!

Doesn’t fit the narrative.

How Covid-19 Precautions Have Kept Flu Cases Low

By this time last year, the U.S. had recorded over 65,000 cases of influenza

www.smithsonianmag.com

The United States has recorded just over 1,000 cases of the flu since September 2020, which is unusually low, Sara Kiley Watson reports for Popular Science.

During the same time period last winter, the country recorded over 65,000 cases of the flu. But in the last year, the Covid-19 pandemic has changed a lot about the way that people act to prevent the spread of disease. Precautions like wearing masks, taking extra care when washing hands, and keeping activities outdoors and at a distance from others have all been implemented to slow the spread of Covid-19. The same measures may have stymied the spread of influenza and other seasonal viruses.

"I’d be very surprised if we have a typical flu season now,” says virologist John McCauley, the director of the Francis Crick Institute’s Worldwide Influenza Centre, to Science magazine’s Kelly Servick. “To see nothing so far, it’s difficult to see how it’s going to come up in large numbers in January.”

Countries across the Northern Hemisphere are seeing a quiet flu season. In England, flu cases are about one-twentieth of the usual cases at this time of year, Linda Geddes reports for the Guardian. The Southern Hemisphere saw a similar phenomenon between June and August, when influenza cases usually peak, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported in September.

Flu vaccination rates are also higher than usual this year. In 2019, about 42 percent of adults in the U.S. received the flu vaccine; this year, 53 percent have. That would also tamp down the spread of influenza, although it doesn’t account for the entire drop in flu cases this year, McCauley tells Science magazine.

They can count me out
Not playing this time around

 

[TonySmjc]

But I agree it’s most likely coming
I’ve been Abel to submit a lot of paper work
Even death certificates to places that would usually clamor for originals , via text n email , form that would normally require originals and at times notary they are allowing me to simply email over

Ss even said yea no in person mail it over

That's because everything is recorded as COVid. I have a co worker who is also a medic on the side... He responds to a guy creamed by a bus, they work him, bring to hospital. COVid test is positive. ER doc says cause of death is COVid. Not the fact he was crushed by a bus.. unreal.

That was happening a lot

 

[Rick67]

No definition is fine, just how we use the term, similar to calling photocopies "Xeroxes" or facial tissue "Kleenex". Yes, no vaccine itself works directly against a virus, they depend on stimulating the immune system to do that, and I've never said that any vaccine directly stops a virus so what's your point?

FYI: Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine, is the officially FDA approved product name, for this, a vaccine that elicits in immune response against the COVID-19 spike protein.

Also I think you screenshot is NOT something you looked up on the OED website, but something you found on one of your "Fake News" websites. I'd love to see the link because that parenthetical statement seems to be an insert.

Here's what I get from OED, and it doesn't have that statement: https://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/oi/authority.20110803115026742

Google Vaccine definition. Are you always so thick? I’ll bet you throw left hooks at home plate?

 

[Roccus7]

Not arguing with definition. Just think that comment regarding COVID Is a plant.

C’mon @Rick67, provide the link. If you can’t, or choose not to, that speaks volumes.

Don’t want a Covid vaccine? Be prepared to pay more for insurance

America’s covid-19 vaccination rate is around 60% for ages 12 and up. That’s not enough to reach so-called herd immunity, and in states like Missouri—where a number of counties have vaccination rates under 25%—hospitals are overwhelmed by serious outbreaks of the more contagious delta variant.

Not gonna work out to well for the city of ny
And most big cities
No way to force the retirees or their dependants
Not way to pass on the cost to them either

another bullcrap idea doomed to backfire on someone

I really hate to be the fly in the ointment on this one but what is going to be in the news when vaccinated areas start getting overrun with cases again. Then there’s a mutation that doesn’t respond to the vaccine. Who are they going to blame? Let me guess LOL. I said it once and I’ll say it again. Some inner city folks aren’t getting it for a variety of reasons. Again. Doesn’t fit the narrative so they skate.
