John and Suzyn just noted the current IL Yankee starting lineup, which would be a formidable one in a postseason: Cole, Kluber, Monty, Germain, Severino.
What a fucking shit show: 0-10 RISP and Boooone actually let that loogy pitch to a righty. I don’t blame Odor - the loogy couldn’t find the plate at all except to serve up meatballs. It’s amazing the Mariners only got two runs out of that.
With all the Yankees' COVID woes, you'd think they would have made it a precondition of any trade that the player be vaccinated. But that would require a GM WITH A FUCKING BRAIN.
I'm willing to bet Rizzo was vaccinated. Re COVID, we're in the twilight zone. Our experts, our betters, have no fucking idea what they're doing. If it's on TV, it's bullshit. That's why I listen to John and Suzyn.
There have been several series where the Yankees were on the verge of a sweep and let it get away - it almost seems like they’re lacking a killer instinct by sleep-walking through that last game. Today was a perfect example of that. They just didn’t show up. It’s almost as if they’re satisfied with just taking a series and happy to phone in that last game.
If it's a comment by anti-rationalist anti-vaxxer morons like Pubius, it's bullshit. All the world's leading virologists and epidemiologists, who have spent an entire lifetime studying these matters, don't hold a candle to this Internet troll who takes his cues from fellow morons on youtube.
Actually, many more people died of smallpox than COVID. Entire populations were wiped out. Only a small percentage that contracted it survived. Those that did allowed antibodies to start to grow within the population. Resistance grew and fatalities went down. Native Americans dies by the millions because they had no natural immunities only being exposed to it by Europeans.. What has made COVID so harmful is that it was created in a lab through engineering.
Polio and Smallpox vaccines were developed over time with somewhat more safeguards, this was rushed. [Read the life story of Jonas Salk to find out.]That is why such a high number of people in the medical professions are not getting it. Where I live more than 25% of such people are not getting the vaccine. Like Kamala and Joe said, they didn't want to take a vaccine produced by Trump. Now only "Trumpsters" and "Counsin Humpers" won't take it. You'll need some consistency in your preaching
Liar/Moron "Godot" writes, "That is why such a high number of people in the medical professions are not getting it."
The truth: "CHICAGO — The American Medical Association (AMA) today released a new survey (PDF) among practicing physicians that shows more than 96 percent of surveyed U.S. physicians have been fully vaccinated for COVID-19, with no significant difference in vaccination rates across regions. Of the physicians who are not yet vaccinated, an additional 45 percent do plan to get vaccinated."
Shut up, asshole. Irresponsible cranks like you are causing people to suffer and die.
More stunning news about the Clown Car front office in the Bronx:
"Most Yankees received the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which has proved less effective than the two-shot Pfizer and Moderna vaccines." That is ONE THIRD less effective. Idiots.
And if the unvacinated Rizzo has contracted the more virulent Delta mutation, don't think he's going to waltz through this in ten days. He could be out for the rest of the season, depending on the course of his symptoms.
I don't have anything against Florida. I have friends and relatives who live there. I hate to see anything happen to them—hate to see anything happen to anyone in America.
Florida news outlets are now reporting unprecedented numbers of children dying and hospitalized with Covid. Glad you're enjoying yourself taunting us, Godot.
And Rizzo: yeah, this is the exact opposite of what I was told about him. His behavior is irresponsible regarding his teammates, uncaring regarding the fans, and insane regarding his own pre-existing conditions.

Basically we're being told to CT only the unvaxxed, old (+50), and, recently, the obese/those with co-morbs.

Just to set the record straight, I am not right wing. I have been a Libertarian since the post 9/11 Gulf War. I was in NYC for business on 9/11. Witnessed everything. Was there til that Friday. Witnessed some of the understandable hysteria afterward and the build up to the endless wars thereafter. Based upon a lot of bullcrap. Watched the government implement the "Patriot Act" and other such restrictions, while at the same time, could not find terrorists learning to fly but not land. Lost a nephew in one of them I love this country, but do not trust layers upon layers of government employees to govern my life. Seems as if most truly competent people do not go into government service. If you feel like you must have the basically untested Vac, by all means get. However do not denigrate those who choose not to, like those currently in the medical field or 20-something women who would like to have children some day and do not know what this Vac will do to them a few years out. P.S., it is generally not persuasive to convince a person to do something by starting out by telling them that they are stupid and proceed to insult them even more thereafter. But that is the current modus of operation of the modern left of center ideologue.
Oh--you're a libertarian but not right-wing. That's hilarious.
And exactly which medical experts are refusing the vaccine? I already posted the documentation that 96 percent of practicing physicians have been fully vaccinated, and of the remaining 4 percent 45 percent intend to do so. So what the FUCK are you talking about, asshole?
As for COVID vaccines and 20-something women: this must be another of your favorite crank conspiracy theories you glean from your fellow morons on youtube, because no serious virologist or pharmacologist or epidemiologist lends any credibility to this bullshit. To wit:
Common question Can the COVID-19 vaccine affect future pregnancy?

“Everybody is a little bit nervous about the possibility that the Delta variant could in fact be, in some way, more dangerous in kids,” said Dr. Richard Malley, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at Boston Children’s Hospital.
Pediatric hospitals are filling with coronavirus patients as schools start opening amid the latest surge in infections, this one driven by the highly contagious delta variant.
Children's hospitals in Tennessee will be completely full by the end of this week, the state health department projected. The 94 children admitted to Florida's Wolfson Children's Hospital in July was more than four times the number admitted in June.

Dr. Larry Brilliant, an epidemiologist who was part of the World Health Organization’s team that helped eradicate smallpox, said the delta variant of the coronavirus is “maybe the most contagious virus” ever."
TWO-THIRDS of mild or moderately ill coronavirus patients suffer from 'long Covid' with shortness of breath and brain fog more than a month after testing positive, study suggests A new study looked at 303 COVID-19 patients with mild or moderate symptoms who did not end up hospitalized In total, 208 participants, or 68.7%, reported experiencing at least one symptom after 30 days, known as 'long Covid' The most common symptoms were fatigue, shortness of breath, confusion/brain fog and stress/anxiety Researchers say the findings provide more evidence that long Covid does not just affect those who fall seriously ill with the virus
'We showed that an estimated 67 percent of people with mild or moderate COVID have long COVID. In other words they still have symptoms more than 30 days after their positive test,' said lead author Dr Melanie Bell, a biostatistics professor at the University of Arizona's Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health, in a statement.
'This is a real wake-up call for anyone who has not been vaccinated. If you get Covid, the chances that you'll experience long-term symptoms are surprisingly high.'
You quoted an irrelevancy--the point of the article was not about the yearly trend but about an alarming spike in the past few months. You're dishonest piece of shit.

Phil Valentine, a conservative radio host in Nashville who said he wouldn’t get vaccinated and made parody songs about “the Vaxman,” caught the virus, and his condition quickly turned critical. He’s now in the hospital, on a ventilator. “He regrets not being more vehemently ‘pro-vaccine,’ and looks forward to being able to more vigorously advocate that position as soon as he is back on the air,” his radio station said in a statement.

Alarming 94K surge in COVID-19 cases among kids, hospitals overwhelmed Some experts are urging the FDA to authorize vaccines for 5-11 year-olds.

3:46 Doctor explains rise in COVID-19 cases among children
Dr. Mark Kline, the physician-in-chief of Children's Hospital New Orleans, describes the increase...Read More Public health experts and state officials are raising alarms about a surge in COVID hospitalizations among children -- now at their steepest and seeing the most significant increase since the onset of the pandemic.
After declining in the early summer, child COVID-19 cases have steadily increased again in recent weeks -- just as many kids head back to the classroom.
Recent Stories from ABC News
In a newly released weekly report, which compiles state-by-state data on COVID-19 cases among children, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the Children's Hospital Association (CHA) found that nearly 94,000 new child COVID-19 cases were reported last week, a continued "substantial" increase.
MORE: COVID-19 live updates: 'This is not your grandfather's COVID,' pediatrician warns Some of the worst numbers are in Louisiana and Florida but could get worse elsewhere fast as public health officials express concerns with the highly contagious delta variant amid continued vaccine hesitancy.
"This is not your grandfather's COVID," Dr. Mark Kline, the physician in chief of Children's Hospital New Orleans told ABC's "Good Morning America" Monday. Louisiana is facing the nation's highest rate of new COVID-19 cases with the Children's Hospital in New Orleans describing what they're seeing as "an epidemic of very young children."
"We are hospitalizing record numbers of children," Kline continued. "Half of the children in our hospital today are under two years of age. Most of the others are between five and ten years of age -- too young to be vaccinated just yet."
You don't take any points--none that contain any facts, anyway. You just slather this blog with fictions and acrid parodies and the rest of your panoply of far-right-wing conspiracist paranoia. You didn't quote me--not once. Again--the NYT passage you ripped out of context cited a year-long trend, BUT THE ARTICLE WAS ABOUT THE LAST TWO MONTHS OF AN ALARMING SPIKE resulting from the Delta virus, which was not a factor earlier in the year--THE MAIN POINT OF THE ARTICLE that you conveniently ignore, as though you had read only one sentence of the article and not the rest. I have cited all the relevant data and facts surrounding this issue--pediatric hospitals stretched to the breaking point, under-two COVID mortality spiking, etc--but you ignore it all. Simply ignore the broad canvass of the science and the facts and the CURRENT trends--because you're a malicious, dishonest, fact-averse, selfish PIECE OF SHIT.
But Sophia was one of roughly 130 children with Covid-19 who were admitted to a U.S. hospital that day, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Hospitals in coronavirus hot spots have been particularly hard hit. On a single day last week, Arkansas Children’s Hospital, in Little Rock, had 19 hospitalized children with Covid; Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital, in St. Petersburg, Fla., had 15; and Children’s Mercy Kansas City, in Missouri, had 12.

Clear enough now, asshole, or can I post some more facts for you, you selfish piece of shit?
More facts about the effect of the RECENT DELTA VARIANT on children from the same article that you have apparently yet to read, YOU SELFISH, SLIMY, DISHONEST PIECE OF SHIT.
From July 22 to July 29, nearly 72,000 new pediatric Covid cases were reported, ALMOST TWICE AS MANY AS THE PREVIOUS WEEK (all caps for dishonest piece-of-shit selfish right-wing assholes), according to the association. At Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital, 181 children tested positive for the virus in July, up from just 12 in June.
Most of those children have relatively mild symptoms, such as runny noses, congestion, coughs or fevers, said Dr. Wassam Rahman, the medical director of the pediatric emergency center at All Children’s. “Most of the kids are not very sick,” he said. “Most will go home and be treated with preventive care at home. But as you might imagine, families are scared.”
A small share of children do develop severe disease, showing up at the hospital with pneumonia or in respiratory distress.
Of the 15 children with Covid-19 who were inpatients at Children’s Hospital New Orleans late last week, four — including a 3-month-old baby — were in intensive care, said Dr. Mark Kline, the hospital’s physician in chief. None of the children, including the eight who were old enough to be eligible, had been vaccinated.
HINT TO SELFISH, COGNITIVELY CHALLENGED RIGHT-WING ASSHOLE ABOUT HOW TO GRASP THE MAIN POINT OF AN ARTICLE--READ THE FUCKING HEADLINE:
The Delta Variant Is Sending More Children to the Hospital.
It is not yet clear whether the Delta variant causes more severe disease in children, but its high level of infectiousness is causing A SURGE IN PEDIATRIC COVID-10 CASES. [all caps added for a semi-retarded selfish piece of shit]

Hospitals in coronavirus hot spots have been particularly hard hit.

These numbers have sparked concerns that what had once seemed like the smallest of silver linings — that Covid-19 mostly spared children — might be changing.

“Everybody is a little bit nervous about the possibility that the Delta variant could in fact be, in some way, more dangerous in kids,” said Dr. Richard Malley, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at Boston Children’s Hospital.

TWO-THIRDS of mild or moderately ill coronavirus patients suffer from 'long Covid' with shortness of breath and brain fog more than a month after testing positive, study suggests
ReplyDeleteA new study looked at 303 COVID-19 patients with mild or moderate symptoms who did not end up hospitalized
In total, 208 participants, or 68.7%, reported experiencing at least one symptom after 30 days, known as 'long Covid'
The most common symptoms were fatigue, shortness of breath, confusion/brain fog and stress/anxiety
Researchers say the findings provide more evidence that long Covid does not just affect those who fall seriously ill with the virus

'We showed that an estimated 67 percent of people with mild or moderate COVID have long COVID. In other words they still have symptoms more than 30 days after their positive test,' said lead author Dr Melanie Bell, a biostatistics professor at the University of Arizona's Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health, in a statement.

You quoted an irrelevancy--the point of the article was not about the yearly trend but about an alarming spike in the past few months. You're dishonest piece of shit. You post lies and youtube conspiracist propaganda. ONce again, here's the recent trend, YOU LYING PIECE OF SHIT. "MORE CRITICALLY ILL CHILDREND THAN AT ANY PREVIOUS POINT OF THE PANDEMIC," YOU LYING VERMIN.

I hope this happens to you, asshole. One less science-denying worm to endanger others and cause them to suffer and die:
ReplyDeletePhil Valentine, a conservative radio host in Nashville who said he wouldn’t get vaccinated and made parody songs about “the Vaxman,” caught the virus, and his condition quickly turned critical. He’s now in the hospital, on a ventilator. “He regrets not being more vehemently ‘pro-vaccine,’ and looks forward to being able to more vigorously advocate that position as soon as he is back on the air,” his radio station said in a statement.

Doctor explains rise in COVID-19 cases among children

Public health experts and state officials are raising alarms about a surge in COVID hospitalizations among children -- now at their steepest and seeing the most significant increase since the onset of the pandemic.
After declining in the early summer, child COVID-19 cases have steadily increased again in recent weeks -- just as many kids head back to the classroom.
Recent Stories from ABC News
In a newly released weekly report, which compiles state-by-state data on COVID-19 cases among children, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the Children's Hospital Association (CHA) found that nearly 94,000 new child COVID-19 cases were reported last week, a continued "substantial" increase.

Some of the worst numbers are in Louisiana and Florida but could get worse elsewhere fast as public health officials express concerns with the highly contagious delta variant amid continued vaccine hesitancy.
"This is not your grandfather's COVID," Dr. Mark Kline, the physician in chief of Children's Hospital New Orleans told ABC's "Good Morning America" Monday. Louisiana is facing the nation's highest rate of new COVID-19 cases with the Children's Hospital in New Orleans describing what they're seeing as "an epidemic of very young children."
"We are hospitalizing record numbers of children," Kline continued. "Half of the children in our hospital today are under two years of age. Most of the others are between five and ten years of age -- too young to be vaccinated just yet."

Children with COVID-19 used to make up 1% of patients hospitalized at Children’s Hospital New Orleans.
ReplyDeleteNow they account for about 20%, Dr. Mark Kline tells @RobinRoberts. https://abcn.ws/3ivJWFB
Point taken -- you don't care what I think.
ReplyDeleteI'll be sure to include a trigger warning the next time I quote you. Because, science.
You don't take any points--none that contain any facts, anyway. You just slather this blog with fictions and acrid parodies and the rest of your panoply of far-right-wing conspiracist paranoia. You didn't quote me--not once. Again--the NYT passage you ripped out of context cited a year-long trend, BUT THE ARTICLE WAS ABOUT THE LAST TWO MONTHS OF AN ALARMING SPIKE resulting from the Delta virus, which was not a factor earlier in the year--THE MAIN POINT OF THE ARTICLE that you conveniently ignore, as though you had read only one sentence of the article and not the rest. I have cited all the relevant data and facts surrounding this issue--pediatric hospitals stretched to the breaking point, under-two COVID mortality spiking, etc--but you ignore it all. Simply ignore the broad canvass of the science and the facts and the CURRENT trends--because you're a malicious, dishonest, fact-averse, selfish PIECE OF SHIT.

Clear enough now, asshole, or can I post some more facts for you, you selfish piece of shit?
More facts about the effect of the RECENT DELTA VARIANT on children from the same article that you have apparently yet to read, YOU SELFISH, SLIMY, DISHONEST PIECE OF SHIT.
ReplyDeleteFrom July 22 to July 29, nearly 72,000 new pediatric Covid cases were reported, ALMOST TWICE AS MANY AS THE PREVIOUS WEEK (all caps for dishonest piece-of-shit selfish right-wing assholes), according to the association. At Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital, 181 children tested positive for the virus in July, up from just 12 in June.
Most of those children have relatively mild symptoms, such as runny noses, congestion, coughs or fevers, said Dr. Wassam Rahman, the medical director of the pediatric emergency center at All Children’s. “Most of the kids are not very sick,” he said. “Most will go home and be treated with preventive care at home. But as you might imagine, families are scared.”
A small share of children do develop severe disease, showing up at the hospital with pneumonia or in respiratory distress.
Of the 15 children with Covid-19 who were inpatients at Children’s Hospital New Orleans late last week, four — including a 3-month-old baby — were in intensive care, said Dr. Mark Kline, the hospital’s physician in chief. None of the children, including the eight who were old enough to be eligible, had been vaccinated.
Trigger warning!

It is not yet clear whether the Delta variant causes more severe disease in children, but its high level of infectiousness is causing A SURGE IN PEDIATRIC COVID-10 CASES. [all caps added for a semi-retarded selfish piece of shit]
