I don't know; you'd have to link some video of anti-vaxx protests - so I can see for myself if "they're larger than is healthy."
You clearly haven't been following this thread because I've been encouraging masks more than anyone for a year now. Plus, I've had both of my shots.
As far as I can see the data on the 18-49 non-vaccinated group that was hospitalized doesn't show whether or not any pre-existing conditions were present with this particular group (e.g., hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, etc.).
I've clearly followed this thread and I know you're pro-mask and pro-vaccine. I'm very much pro-mask as well and on your side on that issue.
As an American things are very complicated, We have 545,000+ people dead. At issue for the general population, they are dead so if you don't know anyone who died,one important question is why? And the health officials say that there look to be some common factors for fatalities, obesity is often listed as a contributor. @40% of Americans obese @70% overweight..Hypertension also listed as a contributor for poor Covid outcomes..And it's commonly accepted that huge percentages of food and drinks consumed by America are harmful even after low level consumption, and diabetes was a undiscussed pandemic before this pandemic and with little surprise,diabetes makes the list for Covid complications.
) is not too easily put into a category. There is a very right wing part, which even consists of neo-nazis. But the even bigger part seems to be very left wing/ green/ esoteric. Those people are close to Rudolf Steiner's thinking and the Waldorf schools. In their demos, those groups meet and surprisingly have a certain common ground, although they otherwise don't want much to do with each other. But then, there were other times, when this was similar, when there was a "back to nature" romanticism, going against the complexities of the modern times...The difference is that I chose to get the vaccine based on science, you chose not to get the vaccine because vitamin D is better, I don't respect that. I chose to get the vaccine to protect myself and hopefully others, you chose not to because vitamin D is better, again, I can't respect that. I will admit that I had you on ignore for quite a while so maybe you posted some research based reason for not getting the vax that I missed.
There are many like that on this side of the Atlantic too. The most extreme are the paleo types who also eat raw food. The common bond is a mindset where getting immunity through infection is seen as the best route. IMO, that type of thinking can coexist in a society where the rest of population is immune through vaccines and things like measles and polio are not endemic. That way they can talk the talk without having to walk the walk. In my experience, this group are also big into homeopathy. The cure for what ails you is invariably some natural supplement that is being hawked.
True, it might be too early to tell. Was the 18 part of the 37 reported or in addition to? The numbers I read for Germany were 13 out of 1.6 mil, obviously a worse ratio than 37 out of 17-35 Mil.

Not just the D3 but because I eat a very healthy diet (no junk and everything organic) and I'm a fitness fanatic/age-group athlete, I trust my immune system to effectively fight off viral & bacterial infections. And that's exactly what my immune did when my son & I were stricken with a case of the severe flu last Feb, 2020.
It would depend on what kind of cancer and what type of treatments are recommended. And on the cardio issues, definitely not worried. A few years back I had a treadmill test and some other screening. Came out with a cardio fitness level that was off the charts for my age (55 at the time) and comparable to a fit 25 yr old. I'm currently doing Silver Era Bodybuilding training (1940s/50s style) and some running & triathlons. 7 days a week training, healthy eating, good sleep & supplements works for me.
I can 'me too' to all of your first stuff. I've eaten healthy all of my life because my parents were 'health food nuts' so thankfully to them I've always eaten well. If you'll recall, I have talked about how eating a balanced diet is the key to health, not mega dosing supplements. I have also been an athlete my entire life, including being a pro mountain bike racer for many years, and I still ride about 250 days a year with hiking, jogging, weights tossed in for some variety so my fitness is not too shabby. I too have a very strong immune system , and likely wouldn't get very sick from COVID, but I also want to protect those around me (family, friends, colleagues).
We were discussing the ratio of blood clots to doses given for AZ. 37/17 Mil (in EU overall) I think that 18 wasn't accurate for Germany though.
