Also, the reinfection argument is immaterial with a disease that has only a 0.2% IFR, and which shows that real-world numbers indicate that vaccination is of, at best, little benefit, and potentially significantly more deadly than the alternative (see death counts in the UK: &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/england-delta-donald-trump-government-public-health-england-b951620.html"&gt;www.standard.co.uk/.../england-delta-donald-trump-government-public-health-england-b951620.html&lt;/a&gt; &amp;nbsp;- 68% of all Covid deaths in the UK are among the VACCINATED, and yet the unvaccinated have had a longer run on exposure to the disease, so the numbers are likely much higher). &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The flu&amp;#39;s IFR is 0.1%, and the accounting on what constitutes a &amp;quot;Covid-19 death&amp;quot; is much more liberal than the accounting for the flu or other respiratory diseases, which is likely the reason nobody is dying from the flu anymore over the past 2 seasons and why the CDC&amp;#39;s own numbers on it are so highly contradictory (&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Provisional-COVID-19-Deaths-by-Sex-and-Age/9bhg-hcku"&gt;data.cdc.gov/.../9bhg-hcku&lt;/a&gt; &amp;nbsp;; &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/preliminary-in-season-estimates.htm"&gt;www.cdc.gov/.../preliminary-in-season-estimates.htm&lt;/a&gt; &amp;nbsp;; &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/past-seasons.html"&gt;www.cdc.gov/.../past-seasons.html&lt;/a&gt; &amp;nbsp;- there&amp;#39;s a MASSIVE disparity in all of these numbers).&lt;/p&gt;

I had blood drawn for &amp;quot;SARS-CoV-2 Semi-Quant Total Ab&amp;quot; at the bottom of the test result it states (clif note version) this test is valid until the EMA is revoked. So this test shows I have antibody&amp;#39;s to Covid, but after the EMU is revoked this test is invalid. WTH?&lt;/p&gt;
