"The vaccines have worked to keep most of the population out of the hospital, with 98.4 percent of cases presenting mild or no symptoms. The deaths have occurred mostly in seniors, usually with comorbidities, and account for 0.2 percent of the cases over the past 28 days. But the shots cannot protect against infection, especially when up against the Delta variant, Mr. Wong said."

Answering to all of the above, as it seems this is a recurring point.
Naturally immunity (ie the one you get after contracting covid) is NOT superior to the vaccine immunity. It has been proven and tested that it is wildly fluctuating, meaning that for *some* people it its good and for others it's totally trash. On average, it is much worse than the vaccine's immunity.
Lookup "natural immunity vs vaccine covid" and let me know what you find.

Thanks for reaffirming my belief that most antivaxxers don't want to get involved in a meaningful conversation. It seems most of them just want their pitchforks and to hang the witch.
Good bye and good luck.

Not really surprising when anyone who dares question the vaccine has been universally vilified and slathered with dehumanizing labels.

Of course my wife was out for three days after her shot and my dad was nearly comatose after his, but the thought of taking an 89 year old to the hospital seemed like a bigger risk than keeping him home and hoping he pulled out of it.

Covid plunges after Indonesia distributes Ivermectin
Ignore the plunging cases of Covid when Ivermectin is used in Indonesia.
Media blackout as Ivermectin & Doxycyclin defeat Covid in India
Ignore the real-world success of the numbers in India.
When your mom gets Covid, definitely DON'T give her Ivermectin, because science.

I thought this piece, also referenced in that link, was well worth breaking out and posting on its own:

The level of deliberate misinformation (aka disinformation!) about ivermectin is criminal.

FYI: Those last two videos I posted were actually by Dr. Campbell who is noted in your link there.

Trust those numbers.
The New York Times issued a correction on Friday after a reporter said 900,000 children have been hospitalized in the US with Covid-19 when the true figure is a tiny fraction of that: 63,000.
The mistake was made by the Times' health and science reporter Apoorva Mandavilli, who took to Twitter back in May to claim the theory that coronavirus was leaked from a Wuhan lab has 'racist roots'.
'The article misstated the number of Covid hospitalizations in US children. It is more than 63,000 from August 2020 to October 2021, not 900,000 since the beginning of the pandemic,' the correction read.

Apparently some pilots dont want to die from heart attacks midflight:
Waiting for Reverent to post that they are all cancelled due to perfect weather outside.

They said it happened Monday at a Walgreens pharmacy, WFIE reported.
The family of four includes two adults and children who are 4 and 5 years old.
The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is only approved for people ages 12 and older. The companies are seeking approval for use in children ages 5 to 11 with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
...
Tuley said the children have been taken to a pediatric cardiologist, and the family was told both are showing signs of heart issues.
The family said the younger child has been sick with a fever and a cough.
Walgreens had not responded to requests for comment by Friday evening.
