What do you mean, Iâd argue that all those things are unhealthy?
But none of them done once are as likely to put you in hospital, are they?
Itâs more whataboutery, the unvaxxed are a danger to themselves in large social gatherings and indirectly a danger to the rest of us, particularly those that may need a hospital bed, the facts show this to be true.
Has anyone said that or is it a straw man you invented all by yourself?
The American right-wing culture is rabidly anti-intellectual. Hence you have morons comparing complex lifelong problems such as addiction and obesity to a refusal to get a couple of three seconds long jabs based on the equivalent of flat earthism.
The Israeli study was immediately pulled apart and to the best of my knowledge has not been published as a peer reviewed paper.
So called ânatural immunityâ has steadily been exposed as the crock anybody with an ounce of critical thinking always knew it was.
Heâs unlikely to have invented it all by himself.
Itâs been said many times on this thread. The unvaxxed taking up hospital spaces are the reason for restrictions
Oh the Ironing 
Fauci claiming today Omicron âalmost certainlyâ not more severe than Delta, why would I listen to him when we have more qualified experts on here who claim we are doomed.
Top US scientist Anthony Fauci said on Tuesday that while it would take weeks to judge the severity of the new COVID-19 variant Omicron, early indications suggested it was not worse than prior strains, and possibly milder.
Speaking to AFP, President Joe Bidenâs chief medical advisor broke down the knowns and unknowns about Omicron into three major areas: transmissibility, how well it evades immunity from prior infection and vaccines, and severity of illness.
The new variant is âclearly highly transmissible,â very likely more so than Delta, the current dominant global strain, Fauci said.
Accumulating epidemiological data from around the world also indicates re-infections are higher with Omicron.
Fauci, the long-time director of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases, said lab experiments that tested the potency of antibodies from current vaccines against Omicron should come in the ânext few days to a week.â
On the question of severity, âit almost certainly is not more severe than Delta,â said Fauci.
âThere is some suggestion that it might even be less severe because when you look at some of the cohorts that are being followed in South Africa, the ratio between the number of infections and the number of hospitalizations seems to be less than with Delta.â
99% is not a good recovery rate when youâre talking about a pandemic. Itâs a terrible recovery rate.
And that isnât even the recovery rate. The recovery rate is less.
The median reinfection time for unvaccinateds being reinfected with Covid is 16 months.
Thatâs basically nothing. It means that if people follow the advice of you and other extremist zealots and reject vaccination, Covid will be a never ending problem.
So called ânatural immunityâ is a right wing anti-science, anti-vaccine, anti-intellectual crock.
The doomsday merchants will hate that.
That seems like excellent news
Everyone needs to get Omicron. Itâs selfish not to, Omicron is our way out of this fiasco
Until next winters strain
Natural immunity is what its all about.
Unless youâre happy to be vaccinated every 6 months for the rest of your life. Thats fine for the people who are vulnerable - even for those people 10% or so , if youâre immune comprimised you wonât be able to generate an immune response. Its far from perfect.
End of the day it should be a personal choice. I donât think vaccinating the entire population down to 6 month olds is going to help the situation at all.
The great thing is I never have to lie, because I donât follow cranks.
I note you didnât say all eligible humans.
So this South African variant is a cod. What a surprise.
I respect peopleâs right to choose and have bodily integrity but they should be thrown out of ICU onto the street to die wheezing.
Awake from your slumber, arise from your sleep
A new day is dawning for all those who weep
The people in darkness have seen a great light
The Lord of our longing has conquered the night
