    I don't understand your post, but I'll try to explain how I see things.

    Trump's presidency delivered a heavy blow to the public image of the religious right, the religious in general, and the right in general. His die-hard supporters don't see his many faults, including his criminal disregard for the people he was elected to lead and protect. He was the president of the few who totally agreed with him, the rest be damned. I didn't like the Russia-collusion witch-hunt or the impeach-just-because hysteria, but those were peanuts compared to the damage Trump did. Although the polarization of the American society along racial, national, political and religious lines was well underway before Trump, he did everything in his power to deepen it and use it for personal gain.

    Right now, the public image of the right in general, and the religious right in particular, is tainted by association because their members are perceived as Trump supporters. Anti-vaxxers are usually right-wing and/or religious, so they're also automatically associated with Trump. Manny advertisers are running away from anything that might create in consumers' minds a connection between their product and Trump's supporters, between their company and the deep political divide in the American society. They usually prefer to have their products associated with happy thoughts.

    There are scientific studies about the influence of advertising on the media.

    Hmmm, can't says I even heard of that "Going down" until this moment! Even if I had I doubt it would have piqued my interest, odd the things people gravitate to on the internet! :wierdface:

    To be fair, I have seen my dog lick his tallywhacker, maybe I have my own quirks too, but in my own defense, I DIDN'T STARE at him, that would have been rude I think!!

    So that I am not misquoting you, you actually don't know how expediential infection works and you are stating that the US with 350 million people could populate more infections with their given population than over 7 billion people in the same time frame?
    And you actually posted that?

    Just by chance, you weren't hit in the head with a billy club from the Aussy Gestapo for not wearing your mask, were you?

    I agree in principle, but in today’s world of rampant social media and fake news sources, a lie goes around the world while the truth is still putting its pants on.
    There seems to be a definite increase in the number of people who are truly stupid, ignorant, selfish and bigoted on all sides and in many parts of the world. And now they have the means to disseminate their lies, innuendo, rumors and fake news instantaneously.
    I believe that we survive because there is a little bit more good than evil in the world and if the balance tips the other way, we are doomed as a civilization.

    No, most of those hospitalized are not vaccinated, and so are most of those in critical condition. The study, however, is for the Delta variant, not for the original virus for which the vaccines were initially developed., The vaccines are still effective for the Delta variant, but less so than for the original virus.

    I hope this doesn't include people who oppose vaccine mandates. It can't, or they would lose a fair chunk of their biggest earners in a snap.

    Are we discussing the printing press, or social media? Because everything in this comment was the exact consequence of the printing press.

    That isn't what the report states.
    https://www.science.org/content/art...er-immunity-vaccine-vaccination-remains-vital

    The new analysis relies on the database of Maccabi Healthcare Services, which enrolls about 2.5 million Israelis. The study, led by Tal Patalon and Sivan Gazit at KSM, the system’s research and innovation arm, found in two analyses that never-infected people who were vaccinated in January and February were, in June, July, and the first half of August, six to 13 times more likely to get infected than unvaccinated people who were previously infected with the coronavirus. In one analysis, comparing more than 32,000 people in the health system, the risk of developing symptomatic COVID-19 was 27 times higher among the vaccinated, and the risk of hospitalization eight times higher.

    Seems to me that the apparently disproportional higher number of cases in the US is due more to severe under-reporting of cases in third world countries and dictatorships.

    Raw data can be misleading.
    Over 90% of the adult population in Wales are fully vaccinated. So less than 10% of the population who are unvaccinated people make up around 33% of covid cases.

    There's a difference between "being likely to be hospitalized" - the term used in the study - and actually being hospitalized. The former is statistics, the latter is reality. I live in Israel, I read, hear and understand the news, I know most of those hospitalized are not vaccinated.

    Ummmmm….by any chance were you trying to write exponential infection…!!?? And the correct mathematical expression would be ‘exponential growth of infection’…

    Now, tell me again about people’s brains not working correctly……..hmmmm?

    Someone needs a lesson on how mathematics works…………priceless…

    And I accept your points in full.
    They aren't about the science of Covid vaccines, but I accept them.

    Its a mathematical impossibility. Viruses don't work that way.
    Funny, when asked, anti vaxers never can explain why. :)

    You also left out this.
    The team found that the unvaccinated group was twice as likely to be reinfected as the singly

    FWIW Ayn Rand, the arch advocate of freedom had this to say about censorship:
    Youtube is a private entity and may regulate content on their site all they want. People don't have to like it but there are alternatives for the anti vaxxxxxers. Find another site or try to create your own.

    Measles vaccine sure lifes at stake. Tetanus sure. Covid not really. Plus people get banned/struck for quoting the cdc eeven because the cdc changes so much.

    Exactly.

    It gets so tiresome watching these people scream "censorship".

    They are always free invent their own site, to hand leaflets out on street corners, or get a soapbox and a megaphone.

    It is just tough sheet, that the "Libs" beat them to the punch in inventing FB, YT, Twitter, Etc...
    Boo-freaking-hoo.

    We aren't comparing the obvious are we. Unvaccinated who already had Covid with it 99% survival rate have better immunity than the Phiser vaccine which means they have better chance of no reinfection.
