"Omicron is being spread by the vaccinated" - yes, because:

1. The unvaccinated are not allowed to travel (ergo only vaccinated people are travelling interstate & overseas just now)

2. Omicron is highly contagious, & the vaccine does not prevent infection - it does however, reduce the severity of symptoms (making hospitalisation less likely) & reduce the duration & volume of peak viral load (thereby lowering the chances of passing it on).

Where were all the anti-vaxxers when their kids received MMR shots when infants & HPV shots when teenagers?

The vaccine doesnt work because:

1. Vaccinated people are still getting infected by Omicron - yes, because Omicron is a different variant to the Alpha, Beta & Delta strains.

2. Vaccinated people are still dying from COVID - yes, because most are elderly &/or have existing comorbidities that means they are more vulnerable to the virus, even the reduced load as per the vaccine.

3. Oh but a 20 year old man died last week from COVID! yes, there are always outliers to any statistical data. However, using independant thought processes, I sought out more information on this matter & discovered he was 23 years old & a former powerlifter. Perhaps he was simply vulnerable to COVID, despite vaccination, or perhaps powerlifters put a lot of strain on their hearts in performing their sport & perhaps some powerlifters use PEDs to increase their strength & recovery, which can place further strain on their hearts.

Just wondering if Covid Discussion deserves its very own section on Silvertails? This section could be devoted to all things Covid, and ALL Covid threads could be moved into that section for full and frank discussion. Clearly Covid is not going away anytime soon, and neither will the enthusiastic but increasingly bizarre, and sometimes nonsensical opposing perspectives, that we see popping up on a daily basis in the Rugby League Forum section. I for one will not be posting there, as the only reason I log into Silvertails, is to discuss Rugby League, and more specifically anything that is MWSE related. Strange concept I know, but perhaps setting clearer boundaries will facilitate more focussed discussion. Just a thought.

I mean this post has Covid in the title, you could just scroll past it.

Havn't posted much on this, as prefer footy and tbh....I think we ALL know much more about footy than Covid also....I am doing what I feel is best for myself and happy with decisions now and going forward.
The way I see it - we can all give advice on a Melbourne Cup winner and if it wins it's Gold, if not we give each other sh** and it's no big deal......but when it comes to a decision regarding health and welfare with so much uncertainty, I feel it's better to respectfully make our own choices without copping abuse and judgement.
Anyway that's my 5 cents worth, so I'll see you all back on Silvertails "Footy forums"

It also has Season 2022 in the title which was probably an attempt to keep it Rugby League related. Unfortunately it has devolved into just another COVID19 thread. By being in the Rugby League Forum it is stealing oxygen from actual footy chat.

Thanks mate. I have my brand new tin foil hat on. It's a ripper.

Did you get the large 50 metre roll for all the family?

 

[Adz]

Yep, you're way to smart for me crazy guy.

Aw don't be like that champ,you should not sell yourself so short.

It's a fair question but its almost certain there will actually be Covid implications for 2022 NRL so from that perspective the thread has been legitimately in the rugby league section (so far).
There will be players and staff testing positive, getting isolated as close contacts, some might get sick, players missing games at short notice, games might be moved or postponed or cancelled (hopefully not) or rescheduled, crowds might be out, might be in, might be part out and part in, Vlandys might get ill (he doesn't look very healthy) so basically any number of actual rugby league related things might crop up.
Other Covid issues should definitely be in General forum, not here.
(Apologies in advance if anyone feels victimised by this comment.)

No need, my family have owned and operated the finest tin foil hattery In these parts for five generations. We have a design for every conspiracy. The link below is one I made especially for you my friend.

The definition of a vaccine was different back then. Actually, the definition of a vaccine was unchanged for decades up until recently. I think that may have a little something to do with it.

 

[Kevinward777]

Seven of the deaths reported today are from September, October last year as per Kerry Chant. Kerry says they will be reporting historical cases in their daily death count now. Apparently there are MANY past cases that the Coroner is working on, and these deaths will count each day moving forward. The Coroner will determine whether those historical cases died with Covid from mouth swabs.

Thanks Kerry, I feel so much better about all this now.

 

[Kevinward777]

So, our highest daily death toll since the outbreak began, is a little skewered. All good.

Agree with all of the above. However, this thread has consistently been used (hijacked) to discuss other Covid issues that do not have direct implications for season 2022. Surely, if it's not specifically related to the thread title it should be removed?

Kev sent you a pm

 

[Jerry1]

I agree with Jerry

11 deaths yesterday. All aged 70 and above. 9 vaccinated - 2 unvaccinated.

at 90 percent vaccination rate it says you are twice as likely to die if you are unvaccinated by the figures you give.
