Exactly, they are running like fuck to try and get match fit.
If you’re going to see heart problems from over exertion you would think it would be nowEdit… you changed your reply from still not match fit to not like playing a game?
Come on mate you’re clutching at strawsMatch fit is the same as playing a game lol, nice try though
Righto robo, fuck it’s like talking to a brick.
So by your logic when they are “match fit”, because you said they’re not yet, there will be a higher chance of a reaction.
I’ll take ya word for it. You may be correct
Geez, if you know anything about football you get match fit by playing games, just training is not the same high tensity, get it now, although they do replicate games these days but still not the same, i just changed the wording.

Australia is just under 78% fully vaccinated dopey. Try using a calculator next time.
Remember a few weeks ago when you were saying 94% of people in hospital were unvaccinated?
Don’t you feel stupid now?

He got that from 6pm nine news lol
Ok here's a Saturday night tin foil hat special for youse.
Way back at the start of Omicron, when it was still in Africa, a mate of mine mentioned to me that Omicron was the exact same symptoms as the side effects to the vaccine.
Thoughts on Omicron actually being vaccine side effects??
Not saying i'm yay or nay. Just putting up every possibility for debate for the great SN boffins.

NO!Now, bd, Your question. Does a person have a higher chance of myocarditis from getting a covid vaccine or from having covid?
Psst, bd?
Haaaaa Haaaaaaa,
Even at 78% fully vaxxed, the unvaxxed are still over-represented in the death stats Burleigh quoted your absolute morons.
And most of the 22% that aren't fully vaxxed are children and unlikely to die.
Fuck you two are that thick, it's scary.
Or put more simply, does the vaccine give alot of people a mild to severe covid? Interesting how the numbers of cases of omicron has exploded and how contagious it is...post double vaccination....
Is IGA still open?? Need another roll of tinfoil!!?? :-P

BTW. These stats are really not much of a surprise you would imagine 90% plus people in high risk groups would be fully vaxed and even when fully vaxed are still at a much higher chance of death than anyone else, often not just old, but obese and with other health issues, they are basically sitting on a cliff edge many things can push them over that edge very easily.
Plus you could imagine many older people would be double jabbed 6 months ago or longer and think they are still all good, but in reality aren't very protected anymore unless get a booster.

Interesting you should say that VL. I had a friend try to tell me yesterday how 4 people who were unvaccinated had died the day before, hence it's the unvaccinated dying. I actually mentioned to her the next day it was 6 vaccinated who died, to which she replied, 'oh'. I guess you can only relate to some on their level eh??

"The Taskforce highlights the differential effect of remdesivir on mortality within these subgroups (i.e. absolute effect estimate of 25 fewer deaths per 1000 in hospitalised patients who do not require ventilation, and absolute effect estimate of 50 more deaths per 1000 in hospitalised patients who require ventilation (invasive or non-invasive mechanical ventilation or ECMO))"
The point being that WHO did not distinguish between the two groups. I think it best to leave that one to the statisticians!

My 94% of ICU patients being unvaccinated statistic was from the point in time that I made it. You don't get to hold it up months later saying it is wrong today,
"NSW Health data showed that from June 16, 2021 up to Christmas Day, 2.1 per cent of unvaccinated people with COVID-19 ended up in the ICU or died, five times higher than vaccinated cases." There you go champ. 6 months worth of data showing you're completely full of shit.

Evil
Some good data here: https://ourworldindata.org/covid-deaths-by-vaccination
USA specific here: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/united-states-rates-of-covid-19-death...
Since the US have access to more vaccines it's interesting (I think).
We have to go through this pretty much every week. So many slow learners here. From the first link.
"Why we need to compare the rates of death between vaccinated and unvaccinated
During a pandemic, you might see headlines like “Half of those who died from the virus were vaccinated”.
It would be wrong to draw any conclusions about whether the vaccines are protecting people from the virus based on this headline. The headline is not providing enough information to draw any conclusions.
Let’s think through an example to see this.
Imagine we live in a place with a population of 60 people.
Then we learn that 10 people died. And we learn that 50% of them were vaccinated.
The newspaper may run the headline “Half of those who died from the virus were vaccinated”. But this headline does not tell us anything about whether the vaccine is protecting people or not.
To be able to say anything, we also need to know about those who did not die: how many people in this population were vaccinated? And how many were not vaccinated?
Now we have all the information we need and can calculate the death rates:
of 10 unvaccinated people, 5 died → the death rate among the unvaccinated is 50%
of 50 vaccinated people, 5 died → the death rate among the vaccinated is 10%
We therefore see that the death rate among the vaccinated is 5-times lower than among the unvaccinated.
In the example, we invented numbers to make it simple to calculate the death rates. But the same logic applies also in the current COVID-19 pandemic. Comparisons of the absolute numbers, as some headlines do, is making a mistake that’s known in statistics as a ‘base rate fallacy’: it ignores the fact that one group is much larger than the other. It is important to avoid this mistake, especially now, as in more and more countries the number of people who are vaccinated against COVID-19 is much larger than the number of people who are unvaccinated."
Slow learners and some that just will not accept facts. Even when clearly posted and beyond dispute, facts are disputed and ignored.
The rabbit hole is deep and full of stupid people.
I've created a spreadsheet forecast which I'll update as we go..
There's also a website with live running data.. https://sites.google.com/view/stayhomeaustralia
