as i said in the beninging of this, sneezing and coughing 100000s germ of particles was always said to travel like 6-10 meters at like 100kmh, hangs in the air around you in the right temp/humidity like an aura of sickness, but not now. almost like its been made up by people who have no clue.

Every environment is different. 2 or 3 meters is just a close enough distance where we can still interact with each other and is better than nothing.

Also, density of particles drops off exponentially with distance, so the difference between 1 and 2 meters is actually pretty massive.

I am not against vaccines ---- go ahead be my guest. I am however getting more concerned about the outstanding safety issues that are slowly but surely surfacing all over the place.

What are the statistics again? And what is the "correct" way to analyze them?

Covid vaccine that creates T-cells ‘gives better immune response than current jabs’

Ooooh, can't wait to get me some of that delicious vaccine juice!

at least vaccines have resulted in lower covid deaths in the US ... oh ... wait ...

U.S. Covid-19 Deaths in 2021 Surpass 2020’s

The pandemic continues to exact a huge toll, with the Delta variant and low vaccination rates important factors in the higher count. The milestone comes as cases and hospitalizations move higher again in places such as New England and the upper Midwest.

Meantime, here’s an interesting chart released by ECDC.

Amazing that people are still arguing against the vaccines.

you either want to stop the spread or you do not.

germ particles stick to mucus which flies through the air, you dont actually propel a single germ particle on its own.

 

[tetrasect]

you either want to stop the spread or you do not.

Within practical limits. If they were to tell people to stay 60m apart from each other, society wouldn't be able to function.

Amazing stat there

Vermont has the lowest COVID-19 death rate per 100,000 people since the pandemic began, according to the Journal. The state also has the most vaccinated population, with 72% fully vaccinated.

Mississippi has the highest death rate since the pandemic began, the newspaper reported. The state is among the least vaccinated states, with 47% fully vaccinated.

Amazing stat there

of course they need to spin it, zoom out: more covid deaths overall in 2021 with vaccination across all states vs 2020 without any vaccination

Ah, I see what you are doing.

Vaccination passport app shares personal data with Amazon and Royal Mail

Civil liberty campaigners and opposition politicians have reacted furiously to the Sunday Mail revelations.

www.dailyrecord.co.uk

The Scottish Government ’s controversial vaccination passport shares the personal data of users with a host of private firms, the Sunday Mail can reveal.

Proof of inoculation is now required by law to get into football grounds or nightclubs north of the border, despite plans for a scheme having been scrapped in England.

We have learned the NHS mobile phone app which presents the personal medical information in the form of a QR Code shares data with companies including Amazon, Microsoft, ServiceNow, Royal Mail and an AI facial recognition firm.

Civil liberty campaigners and opposition politicians have reacted furiously to our revelations.

One of the most highly vaxxed countries in Western Europe will be going back into lockdown despite Macron taking a hardline on vaccinations.

(More than three quarters of their population is vaccinated)

Every environment is different. 2 or 3 meters is just a close enough distance where we can still interact with each other and is better than nothing.

Also, density of particles drops off exponentially polynomially with distance, so the difference between 1 and 2 meters is actually pretty massive.

Pedant alert: The volume of air surrounding a person grows by the power of 2 in confined spaces (homes etc), and power of 3 in unconfined spaces (outdoors). For 1 and 2m spacing this would approximate to 1m^3 vs 4 or 8m^3.

My perspective? I thought you were posting stats on the vaccine efficacy and was interested to read the story. I then realised you trying to imply the vaccines aren't working and I have no desire to play your childish games.

Vaccines are NOT "working" the way the pro-vaxers want them to ------
