a)thanks for the link

b)I HATE when everyone says "cases". They should be saying "infections" and then calling hospitalizations "cases"

c)I'm not sure what you're trying to show me with the link. It appears to say that deaths for breakthrough cases is .2% (not .5%).

And so is dying from COVID or it's variants.


Agreed (although the chances of dying of Covid, while very small, are way higher than the vaccine, that really is not a question)

All of this is hyped up political nonsense that needs to end.

You’ve become such a shite poster. Lame. Do something worthwhile with your life.

The countries that have done the best are the ones where the party leaderships chose not to politicize public health. You can hold public health authorities accountable in a bipartisan/multipartisan manner and when you do, larger shares of the public follow guidance as it improves with the data and better outcomes tend to follow.

SFP,

The media hypes what they want people to see, hear, feel and fear. And this experiment has been wildly successful. I am saddened by the people that want to forcibly push a drug in to another person's body. It makes zero sense. Humanity is losing touch...

We won't know what "the best" is until this is all done.

I don't see how countries like Australia haven't fricked themselves for a generation or 2, economically. And, ultimately, we may find out that we all have to live with CV19 variants in perpetuity.

That's the problem with a virus created in a lab getting out.

If I’d only counted how many times I saw people do this exact same thing when someone died that wasn’t vax’d.

It’s not about hopes and wishes. It’s about what is and isn’t.

They have like 5% the per capita mortality we have and no worse economic outcomes.

How is that even close?

According to whom exactly? The same people you were stupid enough to believe would let life get back to normal if people would just get vaccinated?

That means that both in parties and out parties have shut their mouths and let their health agencies run the pandemic response.

We have 20 times the per capita mortality rate of other nations? Which ones?

We won't know the full effects until they start to return to a "normal" economy. They're going to feel inflation like a motherfricker.

The areas that have shut down cannot be close to their previous economic output and the government has pumped a ton of money into the economy. The fundamentals just aren't there.

He's saying unelected bureaucrats are non-political actors and politicians, who face direct democratic pressures, are suboptimal due to those constraints.

Good discussion here. The antivax mania by many on the PT has become frenetic and quite frankly, ghoulish.


It's an equal and opposite reaction of the ghouls on the left celebrating last summer when red states were getting slammed with Covid because that's where most of the unvaccinated were.
