And Dear Mr Russel might want to check out emperor and chief propagandist and possibly soon to be arrested lol fauci begrudgingly admitting that most of those hospitalation were for other reasons…(as most people with sense have noted since the beginning) sorry Rus you re drinking the wrong koolade ;)

Really Bobby? And how exactly does that stack up to bars and restaurants being open? Adults can get drunk and eat while seated at a table but children can’t sit in a room and listen to their teacher together? Adults are less of a risk to Grammy? Hmmm come on Bobby be better dude…

Again the acute risk is not just ‘old’ people it’s old sick or fat people. 90+ percent had more than 2 comorbidities… If Grammy is sick you take precautions…it’s that simple. Meanwhile kids should be at school.

Bobby buddy flattered I can piss you off but- the reality is most the vaccinated population were conned instead of sterile lasting protection - they got flash in the pan protection for a few months, lots of side effects, and unknown long term consequences because well there were no trials on boosters… what pisses me off is that relatively intelligent people like your self don’t stand up and recognize that most of what we ve been fed is horse shit… omicron finally exposes that

Bobby dear you seem to have trouble with the English language...?

Your words - "you will see that they reference other similar studies in other countries that show significantly different results to theirs."

That is simply patently false... The findings of this study were:

"Two doses of COVID-19 vaccines are unlikely to protect against infection by Omicron. A third dose provides some protection in the immediate term, but substantially less than against Delta."

Thats is broadly what the English, danish and South African studies found.
The authors state that: "the pattern of our results were similar, our absolute estimates were lower"...It's right there but you contended these 'similar studies' provided 'different' results thats incorrect bud ~ sorry.

Interesting in Ontario 76% of hospitalised are vaccinated.. from a 82% vaccinated population…hmmm

And suddenly health officials want to talk about ‘with’ versus ‘us’ double hmmm

Kids have never a major contributor to RO...they generally have stronger t-cell immunity...You'd sacrifice their education rather than take precautions at home? Test scores have plummeted..Handwriting motor skills failing in the lower grades...Aliv speeds impossibly slow...and only discourage participators...This has got to end dude...Omicron is less deadly than the flu...

Do kids under 18 fly planes at United - Yes? Right or left?

To the contrary bobbser the studies cited English, Danish and South African studies all produced similar findings: severe reduction in efficacy on the second dose and small bump from the booster - just the absolute results varied.

"In a test-negative study conducted in England, Andrews et al. found substantial waning of VE after 2 doses, and lower VE against symptomatic infection from Omicron than Delta at each time point following 2 or 3 doses ....Similar to those findings, our results show a marked reduction in 2-dose effectiveness against Omicron infection relative to Delta"

"Our results align more closely with recent Danish data"

"Finally, a study from South Africa estimated VE against infection at 33% in the Omicron period compared to 77% in the pre-Omicron period."

Plus there stance is clear the jury is still out on the efficacy against severe disease:

"However, if the primary goal of these policies is to protect against severe illness and impact on the health system, further data will be needed to determine the number of doses required to provide adequate protection against severe outcomes caused by Omicron."

And ultimately policy based on vaccination status might be a fools errand..

"Our work adds to an emerging body of research that suggests that immunization status cannot be simply dichotomized, and that protection is instead based on a variety of factors such as type of vaccine received, age of recipient, time since latest dose, and circulating variant."

Mr TalRussel did you forgot the honorer citizens of Israel that are now on the their 16th booster because the first 15 failed to protect them for than a few Days...?

I jest but the reason for the booster is because 2 doses fails to protect against severe outcomes...if last there would be no need for additional shots..

Mr TalRussel - The new 'science', the additional 'truth' is that vaccines do not protect against certain variants and now with the Omicron situation is a fact that vaccinated or not, hospitalisation are being driven by the sick and old and the fat.

Here is research from Canada which concludes : "Two doses of COVID-19 vaccines are unlikely to protect against infection by Omicron. A third dose provides some protection in the immediate term, but substantially less than against Delta."

lol you're gaslighting - No? - Mr TahRussel you be the one close to not finding the truth today unless today is 'opposites' day and I didn't know. How many times did we hear Fauci, Biden, Minnis and CDC say the vaccinated will stop the spread!? Or if only enough people were vaccinated the pandemic would be over... Remember they were so confident Vaccinated people could take off masks...Remember Vax passport meant you could join society...It was 2 jabs to stop the spread, then it went to 2 jabs to keep your job...what happened? Vaccine stopped working as the hoped it would...The promise was always that this would end with public health measures deployed (including vaccination) - it's hasn't or they don't want it too...?

We're never going to vaccinate our way out this...Vaccination doesn't prevent transmission, the protection from severe symptoms capitulates in a matter of weeks which mean vaccination status does not matter....just give up the gig...Vaccines, Masks etc should be a personal health choice not a not national health protocol. Don't waste time and money...for something that is now essentially the equivalent severity of cold..
