You are very correct. Most hospitalizations, most ICU visits and most deaths are in people that are not vaccinated. PERIOD. It is easy to spot what works and what does not.

Scientists are smart enough to know they don't have THE answer but estimates that will evolve and be refined over time. So far they have predicted this one pretty well. Also, and this applies to your grass cutting example, you can't solve a problem, but you can optimize or in the case of a...

We should stop talking "did I get a 2nd dose/ am I fully vaccinated" and replace it with "is my immunization up to date". You can get a feel for what percent of the population needs to have their immunization up to date. I got a call from my doc, that I am due for my 10 year Tetanus shot...

There is something that was discussed way earlier in the thread called the effective reproduction number (R0) which measures how easily the virus spreads. It is well known the delta has a much much higher R0 There is actually a "magical number" for herd immunity and it is calculated as...

It's an expression basically blaming everything on Obama even if he had no influence. I think it was being used jokingly here. Republicans blame Obama and democrats ridicule republicans for blaming Obama.

You can't fix stupid

yes and no The red line is deaths per million population. Red is Quebec, Blue Ontario, Green Alberta First wave, OK it was the CHSLD. Second wave was in the fall. They knew what was coming and failed The Legault went on and on about how great they were compared to Ontario in the third, yet...

A Scientist would say a study with no review process has no value. No value may be a number an economist could understand.

massage are not in the list requiring the passport

Agreed It was bad enough that the previous admin was threatening the head f the FDA. Leave the decision to the politicians and the US would have been shooting up Lysol before November 4th. Leave it to pharma and doctors and you get things like the opioid crisis. The FDA has to be accountable...

Did you know that Pfizer and Moderna have a booster shot that has been tweaked to be more effective for the Delta Variant, yet this is not the one the pharmas are pushing the FDA to approve ? Maybe, just maybe, the FDA wants to see the improved formula be the booster shot rather than the same...

Good to hear the QR is not hurting business.

It's partly a form of coercion. But it's also a way to limit the exposure of the unvaccinated. Restrictions and lockdowns did exactly this. But the vaccinated will say "why should I be restricted". So it's basically restrictions for the unvaccinated. Imposing restrictions on everyone would be...

You didn't answer this previously : are the SPs you see "exclusive" to you ? I know you said they were vaccinated. I think you will be disappointed to see how little the vaccine passport protects you as an individual It definitely improves vaccination rate It definitely protects the...

They did a survey and 40% of Americans believe they could compete in the Olympics. You really think these people are capable of intelligent decisions to end a pandemic ? You think these people are grounded in reality ? BTW, I think you just insulted the chimps.

You said : "I just read that Pfizer is confirming that its effectiveness ends after 8 months. This means that you need to get 4 shots a year..." It was a JOKE, but if effectiveness is 8 months and I need 4 per year, then a year has 32 months. You know a joke isn't funny when you need to explain...

I like your math : 32 months per year. I'm back to a teenager.

I said this is another thread. We have models of what works (Denmark). We have models of failure (Alberta and parts of the US). Why does this have to be so complicated ? Head doctor of Alberta was interviewed by CBC. She apologized for her role in the disaster. It must be gut wrenching...
