What's this?

This clownshow will deny anything no matter how obvious...

The "efficacy against infection" BS was in Pfizer's own fucking press releases, and President Brandon was still touting this nonsense as recently as last month. The coronabros would do themselves and the rest of the country a huge favor if they'd just provide facts and context. This COVID -- what's that word again...oh, yeah -- "misinformation" isn't helping anyone.

Four doses is totally normal. Just like the rabies vaccine. ** -- jpmHoo 01/04/2022 9:12PM

They offered the vaccine to everyone in the control groups -- jpmHoo 01/04/2022 8:47PM

Well sure. It would be unethical to withhold an effective treatment -- 00 Hoo 01/04/2022 8:55PM

I'm confused. So there was no real control group? -- psychobilly 01/04/2022 8:57PM

There was a control group. -- 00 Hoo 01/04/2022 8:59PM

That’s pretty nefarious. ** -- 111Balz 01/04/2022 9:13PM

Don’t worry, NIH has bought the silence of most of academia -- jpmHoo 01/04/2022 8:38PM

Doesn't seem like its stopping the spread of Omnicron at all. -- psychobilly 01/04/2022 7:14PM

Not stopping the spread, but certainly reducing hospitalizations -- BocaHoo91 01/04/2022 8:37PM

Your 2nd point is the only thing i stated. ** -- psychobilly 01/04/2022 8:47PM

I agree. I just added to it. A 17x higher hospitalization -- BocaHoo91 01/04/2022 8:52PM

Or 3.7x and falling rapidly in a place that doesn’t guesstimate -- jpmHoo 01/04/2022 8:57PM

I was not expecting to see such a small % in canada at its peak right now -- psychobilly 01/04/2022 9:13PM

According to this, 26% of US ICU beds are occupied by covid patients -- BocaHoo91 01/04/2022 9:22PM

Roger. I thought Canada's sounded pretty low. ** -- psychobilly 01/04/2022 9:24PM

NY Times just said that up to 65% of NY COVID admissions are incidental -- jpmHoo 01/04/2022 9:05PM

Are you really this poorly informed, or are you willfully ignorant ** -- WaxHoo 01/04/2022 7:33PM

I don't understand what your problem is. -- psychobilly 01/04/2022 7:36PM

I think his problem is how badly you post on a UVA board ** -- 111Balz 01/04/2022 7:49PM

The vaccines weren't designed for the omicron variant. Stay tuned. ** -- NJHoo 01/04/2022 7:49PM

Hence, a lot of people let their guard down. ** -- psychobilly 01/04/2022 7:51PM

Or omicron developed because not enough people got vaccinated -- 111Balz 01/04/2022 7:58PM

Not sure that's really true. Omicrom first arose in South Africa. -- BocaHoo91 01/04/2022 8:40PM

Not true. Early reports on the vaccine were that they were to be effective -- psychobilly 01/04/2022 7:25PM

That was based on tests, how they worked early; some of that protection -- 111Balz 01/04/2022 7:34PM

Absolutely. 2020 Thanksgiving and Xmas gatherings were shut down. -- psychobilly 01/04/2022 7:20PM

So you are pushing for more lockdowns? ** -- DTsBicep 01/04/2022 7:24PM

Of course not. Lockdowns are moronic and a delay tactic. -- psychobilly 01/04/2022 7:26PM

So you blaming the vaccine - why people letting their guard down? ** -- DTsBicep 01/04/2022 7:36PM
