To save me having to come back and respond I would like to point out that I am obsessed, I do need to get a life, I realise that splitting everyone up as pro or anti vaxxers is ridiculously simplistic and I don't care whether you want to have the vaccination or not.

I think you'll find that Facebook don't tolerate any deviation from the World Hoax Organisation dictates. How else could you get the entire world acting in lockstep? You will own nothing and you will be happy (as long as you take your medicine). The term- Anti-vaxxer is such a weaponisation of language. Someone who wishes to make their own decisions about their own health and bodily integrity is not anti anything but criminal violation of their god given rights. You might as well say they are anti cancer or anti being tortured. It's deliberately giving a negative connotation to a positive attitude.

Anyone becoming infected is likely to affect someone else. Vaccination reduces the viral load in the affected person and thus reduces both the risk of infection and and the severity of infection if it occurs.
There are plenty of people who can't be vaccinated for medical reasons, people with certain auto-immune disorders or having cancer treatment, and the vaccine hasn't been tested on pregnant women, so its effects on them and their babies is unknown.
I think not having the vaccine if you are able to have it is pure selfishness, tbh.

I'm sure this line is being insinuated by the media 24/7, that's why I don't watch or read it. The experimental gene therapy is being tested on us as we communicate and the benefits you describe are NOT PROVEN. All we have are details released by pharmaceutical companies with a track record which, should you have the inclination to examine, is far from spotless; communicated by a panel of experts, many of whom with a substantial financial interest in the drugs they are pushing.
If we were talking about the Black Death there might be a good reason for the corner cutting in drug testing and licensing which is being carried out; but in the case of complaint that has a 99+% survival rate, I'm not so sure. This corona virus is nothing more than what was commonly known as the flu, a cold or a virus. The fact that they have disappeared should alert you to that in spite of it not being pointed out in the media.
Thus I utterly repudiate your imputation of selfishness and repeat the old maxim- take the plank out of your own eye before looking for sawdust in another's.

In an instance of serendipity, I chanced on a report from October 2008 by the American National Institute of Health co-authored by Dr. Fauchi. It was a study of the cause of deaths in the 1918 Spanish Flu epidemic. It was concluded that death was caused by BACTERIAL pneumonia.
I don't pretend to have any professional medical knowledge, but I have read that wearing masks can cause bacterial infections. Whether or not this has any bearing on the present situation I have no idea but it does sustain my belief that mask wearing is not healthy and may be as bad for others as myself.

TP: Bacterial pneumonia is a complication of viral respiratory infections. Whether it was bacterial pneumonia or the Spanish flu virus, the fact is that 100,000,000 people died from it.
And it doesn't spontaneously generate behind a mask - you pick it up by contagion (touching something contaminated then transferring it to your mouth or nose) or infection by inhaling contaminated air (someone else's cough or sneeze for example).
You're not Piers Adams are you? He spouts similar anti-vax nonsense.

A chartist is not a medical expert, at least not to my knowledge. Bacterial pneumonia is caused by a bacteria called streptococcus and other bacteria.

TP, let's not waste time on the nonsense of nominative determinism.
I know full well the difference between a bacterium (the singular of bacteria) and a virus. Bacterial pneumonia can be a complication (as in secondary infection) of a viral respiratory infection.
Masks help reduce the risk of spreading infection, and of picking it up. Yes I wear a mask. No I'm not anti-vax, in fact I'm ardently pro-vax. What on earth made you think I might be anti?
No I am not the handy man, whoever they are, and my statements are relevant to this thread.

Survival here is 99%+ now, but for quite a while it was about the world average and the experience of other countries, more like 97%. That's why, despite the unknown risks, I had the first dose.
I don't understand how masks can cause a bacterial infection. That is not to say that you are wrong TP, I'm just a bit flummoxed. Can you remember where you read it?
One of the pieces of guidance which seem to have been missed is "Don't share masks".
Of course the vaccine approval was rushed; it was all a question of balancing risks. It's because it was rushed that the results (as they were) were not properly understood; hence the AZ continental hoo-ha. For all we know, those vaccinated will all expire after about three years. Each individual has to weigh up the risks and make a decision.

It's always been less than 99% and we have some of the worst stats in the world. That might be because they're exaggerated by the the recording method of including everyone who dies after testing positive no matter what they died of. That 99% is of people who GOT the damned flu. I don't know anyone who did. It's not a serious disease despite the propaganda. Did you enjoy the Christmas Pantodemic this year? The dullest show on earth- The Uncommon Cold.

@TP - a very good question, and one i struggled to easily google myself, perhaps someone else can dispute or correct these figures below if they can find something better though?
What i found is a figure of around 5.5m deaths, but I'm not entirely sure if this is for a 1 year or a 5 year period. If its 1 year, then it would equate to around 15,000 deaths per day on average. If that statistic covers an entire 5 year period, then we are talking about 3,000 deaths in Brazil on average per day.....so if 4,000 people died of COVID in one day, then its an alarming stat either way. Probably why we see news clips in Brazil struggling to cope with burying the dead....

Tom Pain is probably a big fan of Brazillian president Jair Bolsonaro who is another covid denier.
Almost another 4k deaths recorded yesterday after the previous days record number. As per my previous post, Brazil averages in non-covid years around 1.3m deaths of all causes per year. This averages out to about 3000-3500 deaths per day. When Brazil starts to announce over 4000 deaths in a single day simply from covid, it's no wonder why Bolsonaro is being labelled as a genocidal maniac.
Seasonal flu blah blah blah...

@tom pain. No, I double checked the death numbers in Brazil after my earlier post and 15000 a day (or over 5m a year) wasn't accurate and that 5m+ figure was indeed over a 5 year period. Hence why my more recent post centred on around an average of about 3-4k deaths per day in Brazil of all causes.
As I said before, it would have been alarming enough had it even been the larger figure, but the fact that it's average is 3k and covid has been killing 4k in recent days is even more staggering. It's not about causing fear, it's about facing reality. This pandemic has killed 3m people globally in just over a year despite enormous efforts to curb it and a huge vaccine roll out.
You think Bolsonaro is an ok guy then? I've only ever heard deluded Trump fans and Trump himself use the term "Trump derangement syndrome". It's never too late to admit you may have been wrong on all this. You would get a lot more respect for doing so...youll only face more ridicule by doubling down on this, which you appear to be.

Of course not, he's a total buffoon, and would have made a bad situation worse.
However, the 400k deaths caused by coronavirus in the US during his clumsy handling of the pandemic truly exposed Trump the elite incompentent imbecile he is.
