    An act. A pose. A front. Usually a put on, that is put on just long enough, to win favor. To exalt ones status as a morally intact person, when the opposite is true.

    None of those are epidemic proportions like covid-19. They are very predictable and not nearly as easily avoidable.

    I'm sorry but that comparison is insane. It's just absolutely dishonest.

    There is no vaccine for those things. They aren't contagious.

    You're just being ridiculous.

    https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/covid-19-breakthrough-data (Data from Jan 2, 2022)
    • Beginning the week of December 13, 2021, after the emergence of the Omicron variant, vaccine effectiveness against cases began to decline again. In the most recent week, vaccine effectiveness was 77.8%. This means fully-vaccinated New Yorkers had about a 78% lower chance of becoming a COVID-19 case, compared to unvaccinated New Yorkers. The New York State Department of Health will continue to closely monitor trends in vaccine effectiveness as the epidemic evolves.
    https://www.doh.wa.gov/Portals/1/Do...-tables/421-010-CasesInNotFullyVaccinated.pdf (Data from Jan 5, 2022)

    Unvaccinated 12-34 year-olds in Washington are • 2 times more likely to get COVID-19 compared with fully vaccinated 12-34 year-olds.
    Unvaccinated 35-64 year-olds are • 3 times more likely to get COVID-19 compared with fully vaccinated 35-64 year-olds.
    Unvaccinated 65+ year-olds are • 6 times more likely to get COVID-19 compared with fully vaccinated 65+ year-olds

    The NY Data shows 5 times less likely, the WA data shows between 2 times to 5 times - so the 7 times I remembered might have been from the Delta data, but the general idea still stands.

    Add the fact that at least in the past the Mayo clinic showed that vaccinated breakthrough cases last a shorter time than unvaccinated cases - thus have less time to spread the disease - and the point still stands.


    Also, remember that at the end of Dec, only 30% of the fully vaccinated got a booster, so these numbers should improve as more people get boosted.

    Vaccines not only protect from severe cases and deaths, they also contribute to slowing the spread.

    Get vaccinated, people.

    I currently know 3 teenagers quarantining with their second case of covid-19.

    I'm sure they'll all be ok, but they aren't having a good time. Wonder if they'll get vaccinated after this?

    Not to mention the length of time vaccinated people shed the virus is shortened which also reduces the spread. But that's also been repeated 100 times in this thread so I don't know why I'm wasting another 30 seconds of my life typing this. There will always be another royo to come along with the same tired arguments. Fortunately I've stopped caring so it's just funny now.

    Nothing we can do for the ignorant, stubborn freedummies. I mean, if they're not going to listen to a guy with a Bubbles avatar there is little hope......

    So, there would be less anti-vaxxers if proper scientists worked with their pants down?

    Welcome to the Wacky World of Novak Djokovic... and meet his equally wacky wife! Anti-vaxxer tennis star insists Bosnia's 'pyramids' give off mystic energy and positive thoughts can PURIFY water - while his wife Jelena believes 5G caused Covid
    • Novak Djokovic is denied entry into Australia after officials rejected player's visa
    • After an airport stand-off which lasted hours, the Government cancelled his visa
    • He applied for a visa that doesn't support vax exemption on medical grounds
    • It is just the latest controversial episode in the life of the 34-year-old tennis star
    • Wife Jelena, 35, has also courted controversy, spreading conspiracies online
    • In April 2020, she shared a conspiracy video about 5G causing coronavirus

    I hope Djokovic tells Australia to fuck off and he never plays in an Australian open again.

    My boss is out sick after coughing and sneezing on Tuesday. Testing is a mess right now.

    I’m in close contact with her and I’m starting to get that feeling that I’m getting sick too

    I’m not boosted yet because I thought I made an apppiintment to get one for December 30th, but apparently I didn’t. It’s a two week wait to get scheduled where I live
