One day after CES made a smilar call, the NAB announced that all attendees and participants planning to attend the October NAB Show will be required to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination. Both shows attact tens of thousands of people. Both shows are held in Las Vegas.
The NAB’s Chris Brown said, “We think this is a positive step in reducing the spread of COVID-19 and will provide further details on implementation as well as other safety measures under consideration.”
The 2021 NAB show (October 9-13) and the RAB Radio Show (October 13-14) are also being held in Las Vegas. Proof of vaccination will be required for both events.
I will not be attending. I contracted and recovered from SARs CoV 2 prior to vaccinations or mRNA therapy shots being available for me. People need to read peer reviewed medical literature and inform themselves on how pathogens and our immune system work as well as understanding the difference in natural immunity, mRNA shots, true vaccinations that contain the virion. The issue should be immunity, not vaccination. This is overly simplifying it but the mRNA approach only attempts to prevent any cells from being infected. It is effective but not 100% effective. With each new variant it becomes less effective. As antibody levels drop it becomes less effective. Antibodies are designed to gradually reduce when they are no longer needed. But more can be made by B Cells when needed. But the mRNA shots do absolutely nothing to fight the actual virus once there is a breakthrough infection. That is because the mRNA shots do not contain the virus. T Cells attach to cells infected with the virus and destroy the infected cell stopping replication of the virus and neutralizing it (they don’t kill it because viruses are not alive so they can’t be killed. Viruses are either viable or inviable). If you don’t get as sick from an infection if you have the mRNA shot it is because many of the spiked proteins are surrounded by antibodies and neutralized or prevented from bonding with, infecting cells, and replicating. But the actual vaccination that contains the virion creates the same antibodies that neutralize the spiked protein while also creating T cells that destroy infected cells. Natural immunity from contracting and surviving the virus provides the same level of immunity as the actual vaccination containing the virus because the mechanism is the same. If people have immunity, they have immunity. But immunity acquired from the real vaccination or surviving infection is superior to mRNA shots because that approach plays defense only and does not have anything to do with preparing the body to fight the actual virus once encountered in an infected cell. B Cell and T Cell “memory” lasts a long time – probably a lifetime. We know from SARs CoV 1 (a very similar virus) survivors that immunity lasts at least 17 years for that virus. That is because the B Cells and T Cells remember the virus itself and quickly identify and eradicate infected cells while creating antibodies for isolating spiked proteins. For sports fans the mRNA therapy shot strategy is like having only a defensive squad on a football team with the goal being every game a tie at zero to zero. Absolutely no plan for what happens if the opposing team ever scores even a single touchdown or kicks a single field goal. It is all about preventing any cells from ever being infected – which is great if it worked 100% – but it doesn’t. Plus the longer the game goes on the more likely the opposing team will score at least once. Then there is a lifetime of “booster” shots every 8 months. In the end, everyone will contract the virus. It is too infectious and it lasts too long. Even with the vaccination or mRNA therapy. So the issue is not vaccination but immunity. Test for immunity. If immunity exists don’t worry about it. We can test for immunity and more accurately with fewer false positives than for infection. So what we should be showing if we have to show anything is that we have the protection of immunity. We have had roughly 10 members of congress contract SARs CoV 2 after being fully vaccinated, wearing masks, socially distancing, etc. So what good does it do to require proof of vaccination when we can show proof that does not prevent infection or spread. If the virus is replicating (infection) it is shedding (spread). Proof of vaccination is proof of nothing. You can still be infected. Proof of immunity and no active symptoms is about the best we can do. Encourage those who have no immunity to get the actual vaccination which offers superior protection because it uses all of the immune system and not just antibodies. T cells can only attack the virus once a cell is infected because they bind to the virus antigen on the surface of an infected cell. They do not bind to the spiked protein or any other pathogen outside the cell. The mRNA is fighting with one weapon. The actual vaccination (or naturally acquired immunity after surviving infection) is fighting with two weapons. One final comment is that this virus infects not only humans but also apes, bats, cats, dogs, etc. Since it can infect animals this virus is not going to disappear. It has hosts even if every human on the planet was vaccinated and had a booster shot every month. We need to trust our immune system to deal with this just like we do other pathogens whether viruses or bacteria. We need to get better at treatment so those who do become infected don’t get as sick or die. So please get informed and try to inform others that the focus should be on immunity, not vaccination. Then the effort should be early detection and treatment. Treatments that can help our immune system battle the infection. Don’t let it get out-of-hand and end up in the hospital or ICU. Anti-inflammatory and anti-viral drugs. Steroids. Antibiotics to fight other bacterial infections. Things that boost the immune system like D3, Zinc, etc. Immunity, early detection, early intervention with effective treatments to help recovery. That is the way to get on with life and have the least loss.
Don’t attend. No one will miss you. And, are you a doctor?
Stop discrediting the vaccines. They are SAVING LIVES. And our best hope to stop Covid.
Thoughts and prayers.
Conservative talk radio host Phil Valentine is in a “grave condition” after catching COVID over a month ago, according to his family. Valentine, who hosts a self-titled show on Nashville-based radio station SuperTalk 99.7 WTN. The host had been publicly skeptical of the safety of COVID vaccines, including after it emerged he had caught the virus.
The host was put on a ventilator in late July “out of an abundance of caution” to give his body “much-needed rest, Please continue to pray!! #PrayforPhil.”
WOW, people who were against the vaccine have died. Guess what, there have been thousands that DID receive the vaccine that have died as well. Why shout about the ones that opted out, but not illustrate that getting the shot(s) does not stop the virus?
Those who are vaccinated and getting COVID rarely die, vs. those that didn’t get it at all. It is a horrible situation.
BS. A few weeks ago, more were dying from the stab! Who wants to play Russian Roulette with something that has a 99.9x survival rate?
Like Laurie indirectly pointed out, your statements are patently FALSE. Vaccined people are NOT dying from Covid. That is a fact.
I respect the choice that has to be made for everyone. No guarantees in anything these days but double measures would be the safest action. Online access for the ones that do not choose to travel in these times would also be great.
Dick Farrel, a longtime conservative radio host based in Palm Beach County, Florida, who was skeptical of the seriousness of the coronavirus pandemic and refused to get vaccinated, has died of COVID-19.
Prove it. The tests do not work AS PER THE CDC. They can not detect the difference between the FLU and C. The FLU disappeared for over a year. The numbers for C are the same as the FLU. Does not take a rocket scientist to figure this out. Just critical thinking, which seems to be gone in this country.
Christian Radio Host And Vaccine Skeptic Dies From COVID
Dr Jimmy DeYoung Sr asked, “Could this vaccine be another form of government control of the people?” I guess he got his answer.
PCR tests are fake, phoney and false. They are not accurate said the developer of them and the CDC even admits the PCR’s can not tell if it is flu or C. They are doing away with those tests in December for this very reason. So why are they still even using them now? WHY? The flu disappeared last year. I seriously doubt he died from C and if he did, they have no way to tell because the tests do not work. In fact there is no test that is accurate.
George Carlin would not approve. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X29lF43mUlo
Where is the option for the many who have had Covid 19 ? I had it last November. Was tested, got over it, and have had blood tested a number of times since…. All active antibodies in my bloodstream. I am safer to be around than anyone who has had the vax. Anyone doubting natural immunity needs to be a little more aware. Studies by John’s Hopkins. Emory University. Need more? I have them. Reading is effective. Try it NAB.
I guess my paid airfare. Lodging and Registration is in vain. I better get it all back from all the vendors I used or NAB should consider what I plan to do next.
The C19 is really.
However the hype is the more dangerous variant. And there is no FDA approval in any of the juice!
This is stab for the sake of stab!
Stop the fear!
Do life.
God only gave you ONE!
Jeff in Sa-ra-so-ta!
AMEN! All of this BS for a common cold virus in a fake political pandemic. Variants are even less lethal than the original. Does anyone know that? Oh they forgot to tell you! Now they say the vac is not working on Delta. LOL. They already said it does not work, PERIOD! And the sheep line up for another because IT’s Trending. It’s cool. No it is insane. I have never worn a mask. I take my vitamins regularly to keep the wonderful immune system that God gave me, as strong as possible and I have not been sick for nearly 2 years. Oh and the CDC said the PCR tests can not distinguish between Covid and the Flu but the FLU disappeared! I wonder why? So why does anyone believe there are real C19 infections? Nope. Not buying it. It is just common sense. The vast majority have a cold or flu or nothing. The creator of mRNA vaccines is warning people, “DO NOT GET THE VACCINE”. The maker of the PCR testing machine said (before he was killed…um died) that the PCR machine should NEVER be used to test for virus. It was not made for that and would give nothing but false positives. You too, can research and find out all of this information and then report the truth to your audience instead of passing on the lies and fake news.
The NAB failed. There should be an option to show a negative test result OR the vax. In fact people WITH the vax CAN STILL get and spread C19. A negative test result actually might provide MORE safety. I will be asking for a refund.
This is why hospital ICUs are filling up once again.
No they are not. Many videos everywhere of folks like me going in to the supposed full hospitals to find NOTHING going on. They are busy but they are not full. You know why? Because those that were turned away during the last shutdown are finally being able to get their surgeries/treatments and they are also busy because of reduced staff who were either fired or quit because of the poison vaccine mandates. Do your research!
The elites continue the game in every corner of our lives. I hope no one shows up. The pandemic is fake. It has never been isolated. Prove me wrong. The flu disappeared? REALLY? and you all are in MEDIA? No research? If you can’t see this by now, you never will.
It doesn’t work that way. If you believe it’s all a lie it’s up to you to prove it. Basic stuff, Boris.
I don’t need to prove anything. It has been proven many times over by scientist and Dr. after doctor. MSM sucks with their lies, fake news, and if you are in MSM, you a big part of the lie.
The tin foil hats are out in force today, telling us the vaccine doesn’t work and it’s all a giant government conspiracy. Yep, the whole world is in on this conspiracy including Bill Gates with his chip and the DNA changing vaccine. I’d like to know where we got so stupid in this country in a short time. Two things…an effective conspiracy involves the smallest amount of people and some die after the conspiracy has ended. Not millions. Example? The Kennedy assassination. And the other thing…ask your doctor if you should take the vaccine. Your doctor advises you on all medical decisions. Tell the me the last time you walked out of your doctor’s office with a prescription and threw it on the ground and said, “he doesn’t know anything!” Fox News and right wing blogs love the gullible. They make tons of money off telling you what you want to hear while killing others.
I’m out of conspiracies! All of mine have either come true or are coming true! Now go back to your CNN! The true Conspiracy News Network.
As I recall, NAB has fought “unnecessary” government regulation and control. Given the recent surge in Covid-19 infections, hospitalizations and deaths, this would certainly be a necessary requirement to help protect the well-being of attendees and workers. This might cost NAB some attendance and the dollars that go with it, but it’s good to see NAB putting health and safety ahead of revenue.
This is the right call by NAB, and the organization deserves credit for trying to keep people safe. Well done, NAB, and see you in Vegas!
There’s a difference between the government mandating something to everyone and a private membership group requiring something with its members. It’s spelled out in the US Constitution. They’re not regulating anything. If you don’t want to attend, stay home. No one is being forced to spend a week in Las Vegas.
Not sure I like this. As an organization that fights against government regulation and control, it seems hypocritical to mandate regulation to its members. This is not different.
