This was also rendered somewhat moot by the Pfizer announcement this afternoon. Gonna be some months before these vaccines are available anyways.
One hour ago:
i’m not reading a 68 page presentation. Can you point to what part of that you are referring to? Can you cite the SA numbers? Can you avoid the catty comments?
Your presentation shows numbers 88%-97% for death after a very quick read. So lmk when you have data backing your assertion.
Everyone chill out, all this sniping is obnoxious. There’s very little we know yet about how severe Omicron is. Preliminary stuff from SA is promising but preliminary.
Cvs didn’t give a sticker. Just hand wrote in bottom space. So suss.
Don’t trust anyone w two first names.
I’ve been staying out of these but c’mon man. Do you really believe what you write or are you trolling?
There are immunity factors besides antibodies. Any edge the body has is a big force multiplier to avoid severe disease. Lots of factors at play. We can cite all the reasons why it’s not as bad or worse or that the product of cases x morbidity is better or worse. Making any conclusions with high confidence is foolish.
The level of certainty itt seems to inversely proportional to the level of relevant expertise.

I’m not trolling at all. Of course I believe that no one yet knows whether omicron deaths are going to rise horribly or not. I’ve posted to that effect several times (I’ve also posted links that support it being possibly less deadly than delta, in theory). I’ve constantly been saying we should wait until the end of the month. Go back and look at the posts.
Half of adults in the UK have now had a Covid-19 booster dose after the programme was accelerated this week amid the Omicron variant.
A total of 26.3 million people aged 18 and over have received a vaccine top-up.
The government said the milestone makes the UK’s booster rollout one of the fastest in the whole wide world.

This is factually incorrect. R0 values are rates of people who get infected, not a total of the number that get infected. You can greatly increase R0 without greatly increasing total infected.

I already knew she was married to him, but this gives me some hope that she’s not as big a shithead as him.
Obviously. Point addressed above wrt plenty of vulnerable people (age and other factors) left in the UK who delta was already killing, and 50% of population isn’t boosted.
This does not make sense in the context of your previous posts, but if you want to withdraw your previous point that’s cool.

Wat, no “walk it back”? I admire the restraint. The metamorphosis is a sight to behold.
