Finally. Except it will never work, as most people are too lazy. Much easier to just get the jab(s).

Oh,more detraction from the rafters,colour me surprised /s
Other than a comparison against a Novel virus favouring Polio,feel free to discredit it if you can,won't hold my breath though,you haven't delivered anything of value to date

Polio and covid are completely different virus,
But I continue hearing this comparison I order to create this sense of fear and "need" for the 3,4 ,5 dose vaccine.
The stats that has been presented show opposite to what has been predicted.
It started
1. Lockdown to flatten the curve, then
2. Mandatory masks to curb infections, then
3. Vax to stop infections, the
4. Ok vax don't stop but it stops you from spreading,then
5. Ok vax don't stop the spread but you won't die
6. Ok you can still die but less likely
7. Ok vax runs out, you need 1 booster
8. Ok You need another booster
9. Ok You would need a yearly booster
10. Ok you would need a 6months booster.
Compared to polio, compared to HIV, compared to the flu....
I'm sure in the near future(18-48 months) we will get a proper vaccine to stop this, but right now it's all anybodys guess.
I'm not here to discredit anyone... that's the pro Vax psychopaths job.

The fatties will be here shortly to say two years isn't enough time for that to have an effect so that's why absolutely nobody has focused on it

Remember Canada is locking down because of high cases, but deaths are lowIt has but we don't let facts get in our way on MyBB
This is why I keep harping on about why are we counting total cases? Why...
Although in truth organisations like the CDC have been recommending all those things the whole time.

France detects new COVID-19 variant 'IHU', more infectious than Omicron: All we know about it
The new variant — B.1.640.2 — which has been detected in 12 patients near Marseille, contains 46 mutations, making it more resistant to vaccines and infectious

Mostly, yes. I don't recall it ever being claimed that being vaccinated meant no chance of dying. We already have proper vaccines. Your first line is the reason why a vaccine will work better against some viruses. They may find a way to make more effective ones, but sometimes more effective vaccines are found to carry much higher risks.
No, it was out in the open. Reminds me of the persistent lie that governments tried to hide the benefits of vitamin D.

Yes,off to a good start,though irrelevant when talking vaccines?
No fear,it's not a novel concept though as claimed by your peers. "Need"? It helps,not sure how that's evading your sensibilities
Again,relevance when talking vaccines?
Um,alright? Thought you as a human would grasp things are never 100% certain,predictions are optimistic based on available data,like "Omicron taking over and becoming the flu"
Did you personally ask a relevant virologist for a confidence %? Or you just listening to TV and shaking your head when the data changes?
And again,relevance when talking vaccines?
As things do
Lockdowns have been confirmed to help
And again,relevance when talking vaccines?
Also shown to help
And again,relevance when talking vaccines?
Vaccines again are proven to be beneficial,nobody claimed 100% prevention ever

Polio relevance again,boosters are not a new thing

Compared to non-novel viruses,each has similarities warranting comparisons,seems you don't understand how comparisons work?
And again,relevance when talking vaccines?
Doesn't know what a "proper" vaccine is,but predicts one would be made at some point. Pick 3 of the current vaccines people receive to exhibit this "proper" vaccine,and your criteria to determine this,let's see if it passes mustard
You discredited yourself pretty well,no need for anybody else to do it
So let's summarize,you don't know how vaccines work,and it shows,but somehow comparing to polio is the problem?
hilarious70%? With our low vaccination rate. Must be a miracle
Sounds like something SoldierBoy would agree with. More likely its just massive spread early on in townships, taxis etc. Combined with relatively high levels of urban vaccination I HOPE this might mean we're in a good position to overcome COVID.

Wasn't at the front and centre of lockdown regulations though, was it? Keep open McDs but close down gyms!
Also in SA remember we weren't even allowed to do anything outside of our homes besides shopping at retail shops or pharmacies for a couple of months in 2020.
You really believe (or the OP anyway) that Big Bertha who loves having her 2 x Doughnuts for breakfast every day and McDonalds for lunch, is going to quit that ****, start exercising(!) and quit the smokes? Even moderately unhealthy people struggle to overcome these vices, which is why there are so many failed New Years resolutions round about now. I think its great advice but without the vaccines the aforementioned folks are gonna kick it.

I'm guessing their government realized that if people are too low IQ to realize that vaccines help, they also need to be told to live healthily as well.
