Chris Ferguson out of NORTH / SOUTH 100 weekend. He tested positive with COVID today.

Excellent post……..but you hit the nail on the head with the superpowers that the vaccine doesn’t give you….nor does just the mask or just washing hands or etc.etc.

It’s a combination of all of those things that are most effective.

Great post paradox, one of the best perspectives I’ve seen written on the subject so far.

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

Is he even sick or just positive from the test?

He had symptoms. Not sure how bad.

Very good post

What I do know you're the last person I would listen to. Like I said I will take my chance with the vaccine over the virus. I've had a good friend of mine who I worked with for 25 years brother thought like you and was on a ventilator for 24 days and ended up passing away and I have an Aunt who is in the Hospital and is very sick right now. You do whatever you feel is right for you and I'm doing what I feel is right for me. Who is Arnold?

Right there with ya Kid. I know of 2 people who refused the shot and are no longer here. So if you refuse the shot and get deathly sic, tough sht. Enjoy.
Also going up to Canada for some hunting/fishing in a couple months. They along with others, and more are sure to jump on board, require the vac. apon entering their country. I had to show proof of vaccination before they would let me in to the boobybar. Eventually they will make it mandatory for just about everything.

[Highside Hustler25]

I dont understand the problem with having this exchange with anyone regarding the vaccine.

random guy - "well I got the vaccine"

other guy - "cool.. I decided to hold off on getting it"

first guy - "cool" I don't have any symptoms yet but I did test positive this AM.

fixed it for ya.

[Highside Hustler25]

Why do you have to be an a$$ about it.. almost happy they died since they didnt get the shot?

You dont think people should be concerned of long term effects on something developed so quick?

Well that's really twisting it around. Never said happy, but I will say I don't feel any sorrow for anyone that stubborn. Why should I care? They didn't.

[Highside Hustler25]

I dont need you to fix anything you P.O.S.

👅glad I could make your day sweets!

If we look back across most of our lifetimes, the thing that has controlled or eradicated worldwide diseases has been when enough of the population gets a vaccine. Polio, smallpox, mmr, etc., it usually takes enough of us getting a vaccine to make sh!t disappear. The Rona will be no different. Once enough people get vaccinated the Rona will run its course through the deniers and fade off. Based on infectious disease history, the main concern is the longer it takes the population to get to a high vax rate, the more mutations the Rona goes through. If it mutates enough the vaccines don’t work as well and we’re back to square 1 or 2. Stay tuned, and it sucks for Fergy, he runs alright at Florence.

Heh Heh ! ! Thats tellin him ! !

[Barbecueboy]

To throw it back on topic a little……Common sense and faith.

Chris has both of those, hope he gets to feeling better and the team has a chance to rest and regroup a little.

[Highside Hustler25]

BBQ, to answer that first question, I smoked cigarettes for over 40 years and recently quit 9 months ago. If I had gotten lung cancer or get it down the road, I wouldn't expect anyone to feel sorry for me. I was the dumba$$ that knew the risks.

[Highside Hustler25]

They will just tell you to take another shot in 6 months.

Mine is about 8 months old &I haven't gotten a recall notice yet.

At this point, the unvaccinated people are basically holding the rest of the country hostage. You can argue it and spin it any way you want to, but it’s the truth. Their political beliefs are more important to them than our country is. And apparently more important to them than there families, friends and coworkers are.

Unfortunately this disease is a fast mutator and capable of moving in and out of animals. Our best hope is that thru vaccines and infection our bodies will easily deal with it over time. This is never going back in the box.

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

We've never dealt with a virus that was so efficient, so ever-changing, and able to infect so many types of mammals. You can vaccine shame all you want, but who's out there vaccinating white tailed deer?

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

Vaccination does NOT guarantee against catching or passing a virus. Vaccines are for sheep!!!!

Nope, but it does improve your odds of not dying.

Since this thread started DJ Troutman (39 years old) was added to the list of Americans who died from Covid-19.

We've lost 620,000 Americans in 18 months.

And now this doctor!Who should we believe? Social media will be the death of us!

Terry M -- Your analysis is spot on.

That is so sad. I just recently talked to him and Drake at the UMP Summer Nationals race @ Macon Speedway. Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.
