Are the teachers blockading streets and disturbing an entire neighborhood late into the night? Are businesses closing as a result of their strike?

Should @OftenWrongbe cancelled? The hypocrisy...

Vaxed vs. unvaxed has seemingly taken over every thread.

Where it all started: On January 5, 2021, Major League Baseball (MLB) legend and Hall of Famer, Hank Aaron, publicly received his first dose of the Moderna vaccine series at Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Two weeks later, he passed away at the age of 86 years due to natural causes. Following his death, a prominent antivaccine activist and founder of a known antivaccine group posted information on the popular microblogging site Twitter, which claimed an unfounded link between Aaron’s death and the COVID-19 vaccine [1]. This claim was erroneously based on reports of elderly deaths following COVID-19 vaccination reported into the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). VAERS, established in 1990, is a public US database and passive reporting system comanaged by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration, where individuals can submit vaccine adverse event reports without clinical verification. Data provided by VAERS has been increasingly used by antivaccine advocates to spread misinformation [2]. This database has also seen increased reports since COVID-19 vaccines received emergency use authorization from the Food and Drug Administration [2]. Why they believe: ... we examine predictors of belief in the most common statements about the virus that contain misinformation. Summary: Older, and conservative; those who are more marginalized, reflected by lower levels of psychological well-being, education, and income; lower performance on numeracy tasks - which includes analytical and critical thinking. That's it for me, Goddess, you continue on with your fear porn. (Edited to add: LMAO - Fox News - at least as reliable as CNN.)

Study from India supporting the efficacy of vaccine (covaxin specifically) Study from France. Overall, vaccine effectiveness against hospitalization was 94% (95%CI [93–95]) and exceeded 90% in each overseas territory, except Mayotte. Spain. BNT162b2 showed high effectiveness in reducing SARS-CoV-2 infections in all age categories, reaching maximum VE ≥ 14 days after administering the second dose [18-64 years: VE = 92.9% (95%CI: 90.2-95.1); 65-79 years: VE = 85.8% (95%CI: 77.3-91.9), and ≥80 years: VE = 91.4% (95%CI: 87.9-94.1)] Brazil, pregnant women only: Of the 19,838 tested pregnant women, 7424 (37.4%) tested positive for COVID-19 and 588 (7.9%) had severe disease. Only 83% of pregnant women who received the first dose of CoronaVac completed the vaccination scheme. A single dose of the CoronaVac vaccine was not effective at preventing symptomatic COVID-19. The effectiveness of two doses of CoronaVac was 41% (95% CI 27.1–52.2) against symptomatic COVID-19 and 85% (95% CI 59.5–94.8) against severe COVID-19. Tell me again how the data I provided in my other post is different from the rest of the world.

Whose data? CDC? Department of Health in Washington? The UK study reported in New England Journal of Medicine that had over two million subjects?

If true, you'd not parrot all the right wing talking points.

Copying you people, actually. I bet you never complained when @OftenWrongor any other right-winger uses that phrase.

You people swallow misinformation like babies swallow breast milk.

From CDC. Rates of hospitalization of the unvaccinated compared to vaccinated: 1.7 times higher in children 5 to 11; 3.4x higher in 12 to 17 year age group; 3.5x higher in those 18 to 49; 7.4x higher in adults 50 to 65; 5.4x higher in adults 65 and older. (Goddess will say: The CDC is lying because they are part of the worldwide conspiracy, and Bill Gates contributed to their funding, and he's a leader of the worldwide conspiracy). From New England Journal of Medicine. 886,774 people infected with the Omicron variant and 201,154 infected with the Delta variant were compared against 1,572,621 non-infected people. Conclusion: Primary immunization with two doses of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 or BNT162b2 vaccine provided limited protection against symptomatic disease caused by the omicron variant. A BNT162b2 or mRNA-1273 booster after either the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 or BNT162b2 primary course substantially increased protection, but that protection waned over time. (Funded by the U.K. Health Security Agency.) Notice "Protection", limited or not, which explains why the rate of hospitalizations/death is higher among unvaxed than vaxed. (Goddess will say: Limited protection! See, the jab is no good!) Department of Health Washington. Rates of hospitalizations per 100,000, unvaxed to vaxed: Age 12 to 34: 18 to 6; Age 35 to 64: 32 to 11; 65+ 190 to 65. Clearly, the vaccine provides protection. (Goddess will say: Department of Health Washington is biased and will lie; people who are vaxed still end up in hospital; old people have always gotten sicker/died at a higher rate than anyone else; they are overstating the numbers). Etc.

Post what you found, then, punkin.

You wouldn't accept anything that calls into question your world of conspiracy so why would anyone bother. If you really have an open mind and are looking for truth, use your own research skills to look at the other side.

At much lower rates than unvaxed, a fact which you refuse to acknowledge.

LOL. I have unvaxed family. Their choice; I still associate with them and don't even harass them though we did discuss it civilly. Both have jobs, BTW, one in government. Real life constantly contradicts the hyperbolic claims you people make. I've said before and I'll say it again: I'm not convinced the EMA was needed, but I do think the protesters crossed the line of civil behavior. I suspect the government will lose this one, but we shall see.

Says a Trump sycophant.

Wow. Such ignorance.

Sounds like you, using words like "fag" and going to attack mode when someone disagrees.

Dunning-Kruger effect in action.

Don't lie about the dangers of the vaccine.

Don't lie about the meaning of your comment.

As long as the limits on the freedom of people to worship their god(s) is applied equally across all religions.

I think they'd give up after 15 minutes.

Subtext: you hope I'll get sick and maybe die. Well, in kind - I hope you get long Covid, but not die. Cheers.

1. You know a few people who got sick, so jabs are bad... 2. Clearly, you think it's better to say "f#*k all the old, fat and sick people who got Covid and died" as you people do? 3. Unlike someone who started an entire thread to demonstrate her lack of intelligence. Get lost.

Several of my work colleagues have been off work due to colds/flu/Covid - all jabbed - all back to work within a few days, as per usual. Me and a few others are hanging in there, jabbed though we are. Anyway, I see that even though you complain all the time about unjabbed people losing their jobs, you didn't. I know a few people who kept their jobs despite not being vaccinated. Kinda proves your hyperbole around the terrible "discrimination" levelled against the unjabbed. Continue on with your fear porn.
