As per BC CDC for Jan 2/22 to Jan 31/22 the number of Covid deaths Unvaccinated 59 Vaccinated 67. You still haven't paid any attention to my original post. You are asking the wrong question.


And if the vast majority of BC adults are vaccinated, then that shows that being vaccinated is CLEARLY a help in preventing death. Go to WoV for a statistics primer if you can’t understand that.

I am not surprised you got it right away SOOPOO. This series of posts started when I said that over 50% of the BC Covid patients in the hospitals are vaccinated. RX refused to believe that. I thought he would be able to figure out why that was true on his own, I was wrong. This will become true in all jurisdictions if they can get the percentage of vaccinated high enough. I realize that it does not mean that vaccinations are not effective.

Dude, I ain't the baby daddy. (Translation, posting the video was the first interaction I made with you on this particular conversation.)

I occasionally don't notice who I am responding to, if someone else chimes in, so no big deal, just letting you know.

You are right the original comment was from TP but then you and I started interacting after the Canadian truckers came up.

Doctor Who Discovered Omicron Was Pressured Not To Reveal It's Mild

"I was told not to state publicly that it was a mild illness. I have been asked to refrain from making such statements and to say that it is a serious illness. I declined."

????????
I've never heard of this Doctor
There are a gazillion Doctors on the planet with an opinion on Omicron
The story is much ado about nothing
Why did she knuckle under?
Why didn't she say no. She got asked and she describes that as pressure. What a pansy. Have some balls.
Sounds like a crappy Dr. Take her license away. She lied. Should never be allowed to practice medicine again.
Pressure was minimal and she buckled and lied to the public. I expect that from DeSantis, not a Dr
You want somebody like Fauci in charge that doesn't buckle under the intense pressure that dumb Rand Paul tries to exert.
Threatening to get the justice dept to charge you with perjury is pressure. What that doc faced was a tiptoe through the tulips compared to the attacks on Fauci
Pressure ??????? What pressure?????????????
Times have changed, asking is pressure and the Jan 6 riots were legitimate political discourse

Pretty much the first thing we ever heard about Omicron was that it was mild.

Clearly the pressure campaign didn’t work.

No more masks required in Vegas.

See how long it sticks this time. I suspect they’re gone for good (it IS an election year).

Sadly, my next Vegas trip may not be till May! Longest gap I’ve had in years.

I’ve gotta couple free* cruises I had to book this spring before I lost them.

*lol - I know a “free cruise” doesn’t exist
