CV and mad panic behaviour

[kruddler]

No just didn't need to ostracise everyone and force people who were hesitant into getting vaccinated of fear of being a social outcast.

Look at Liam Jones as an example.  Not even a pre season complete and its going to be irrelevant whether he got vaccinated or not but he's had to retire, leave us with a gaping hole in defense and he's missing out on 400k etdtimated at minimum.

No one has been victorious in that scenario.

Keep in mind im double vaxxed and im going for my booster Jan 6th.

Why?  I work in a hospital and my risk profile is different to average Joe.


The measures, fine.  The vaccines fine.  The vaccine mandate and draconian response?  Not fine.  No where near fine. A massive issue, and one that has guaranteed that if there is another vaccine required a bigger portion are going to skip it irrespective of vaccine mandates. 

The noise in the city is growing larger not smaller.

You guys are too arrogant thinking you know better.

A couple points on this.

1. Jones didn't HAVE to retire. He had a choice, he chose not to get vaccinated, which meant he couldn't play. He could've stayed on the list at minimum wage. He chose not to bother and retired.

2. re 'Draconian response'...
Of all the 'anti-vaxxers' and 'my body my choice-ers' what is one of their main gripes with the lockdown mandates? The damage it is doing to the people, mentally.....which is mainly due to the economic impacts of the lockdowns.
With that in mind, the AFL is a billion dollar industry which employs thousands of people. There is a risk that the whole AFL could be brought to its knees, putting 1000's out of work, costing millions etc etc.
The AFLW had its season cancelled (in finals no less!). The same thing can happen to the AFL.

To quote Star Trek...."The Needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few......or the one."

How did Omricon get in to the country when the unvaxxed can't come in?

They obviously don't know how it works.
J Brown and his radio co host both got it and spread despite being full vaxxed.

Who doesn’t know how what works?

My son in law’s company followed the procedures to the letter and, despite a couple of days’ exposure to their infected colleague, escaped infection.  One of the partners is severely immuno-compromised.

The only mistake they made was allowing the former anti-vaxxer to attend the workplace until he was fully vaccinated.

Why do you ask questions like this when you know the answer?

As you know, no vaccine is perfect, even if everybody gets vaccinated, people can still get infected. You have to think of the efficacy as a number that represents chance.

Surrounding yourself with infected people, not social distancing, not wearing a mask, is basically exposing yourself to more and more virus. Like playing the pokies, given enough spins you eventually get a jackpot but still lose overall, the math works against you! Some get the jackpot on the first spin, others can play years and not get a single one, but if they keep playing no matter what luck they've had in the past the math says they eventually lose!

btw., That is how the pokey money laundering works, they pump megabucks through the machines knowing full well they only get 85% of every dollar they feed in returned, that's the math at work. The minimum 15% they lose is the price they happily pay for the cleaners!

Just because you may be double vaccinated, do not gullibly think you are impervious to the virus, chance your hand enough and you will lose!

If a vaccine has 85% efficacy, it doesn't mean it protects 85 of every 100 people, that's the simplistic explanation we give the kiddies. What it really means is that every time you are exposed to an infectious dose you have 85% chance of being protected, or 15% chance of getting infected, every time you are chancing your luck!

And just for the record, this variant has been known since at least July:

https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/07/h...-variants/

Fly, when did you first read this article ?
Did you read it in July 2021 or yesterday ?

The article spends most of its time discussing the Alpha and Delta mutations and the research and study of them.
I ask because I was reading an abc article where they quoted the SA Dr as saying she detected the Omicron mutation in early November 2021 when some peoples symptoms weren’t “classic”
I’m of the belief that the weforum.org has rehashed the July article and basically added the first 3 paragraphs to provide an updated perspective of the changes and mutations of virus, in particular Covid.

It’s a downside of the digital age… the written word can mutate faster than any virus. ?

[northernblue]

The biggest concern with the Omicron strain is the press hyperbole that follows it - the media scrum is creating their own spin which almost inevitably will be far worse than the reality.  That is more dangerous than the virus itself, as it will lead to an ill-informed public that demands that the politicians do something, and we don't need knee-jerk reactions right now.

Agree on stopping flights from Africa, but let's not all crawl back into our bunkers....

Sure gather facts from your trusted news source, but the chief medical officers are the only ones anyone should be listening to, certainly not Slowmo and his mates/enemies

So that's why when the WHO are staying in motels they chain the TVs to the walls, and put bars on the windows! ;D
