WOULD YOU VACCINATE TO BE ABLE TO WATCH SPORTS

Oh, and ignore my name, I’m under 40 and fully vaccinated.

lol. I've always assumed you were 70.

I never got older? Haha.

Everyone lives happily ever after and does what is right for them

But they don't, they die

Mate the chances of dying from a virus that has a 98% suvival rate is slim

Where Covid has been rampant (eg UK, and USA etc ) it is 1 in 500 die. That's not 1 in 500 that get Covid die it is 1 in 500 of the population die of Covid. Additionally to that is the long Covid issue where those that get Covid suffer for months and some never fully recover.

If Covid gets a hold here, your changes of dying are 1 in 500. Good luck.

Your math is somewhat flawed. Also rubbish of the first order.

It’s pretty simple, in those countries I have mentioned 1 in 500 have died of Covid. Nothing rubbish about or the numbers, it’s horrendous

I see some people are struggling with the maths, so here we go. Let's do the US, simply because I haven't done them for a while.

US Population is 333,143,413 so a bit more than 333 million.
US Deaths due to Covid19 is 631,299 so over 631 thousand.

333,142,413 / 631,299 is 527.7 so lets say 528

So for every 528 people in the US a person has died of Covid19. 1 in 528.

SPC today have announced all their employees have to be vaccinated as well as all visitors to their plant.Laundy hotels have also mentioned that all their staff have to be vaccinated.ITS STARTING

I agree with your maths but the elderly deaths heavily impact the overall rate being a significant % of the deaths whilst a low % of the population

Assuming (I don’t know these rates, they are guesstimates) they are 80% of the deaths but 20% of the population it comes down to around 1 death in 2,100 excluding the elderly

Elderly rate would be high but so would their rate of death in general

I’m not disagreeing with you, just trying to illustrate it moves around a lot by segment

Australia in total is around 1 death in 25,000 in total and would come down to 1 in 100,000 using the same theoretical exclusion of the elderly

Hey look who's back?! When's Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon getting back in Col?

It's only 1 in 25,000 in Australia because we are an Island and we have built a wall to keep the world and the virus out. That wall has been breached by the Delta strain and we can no longer rely on the wall. If the virus gets hold here we will have similar number to the US unless we vaccinate.

In regards to the elderly, while this may have been the case early on, the majority of the elderly have now been vaccinated and the virus profile has shifted to those that remain unvaccinated. ie the lower age groups.

Regardless of how you slice and dice it, that does not change the over all numbers and the fact remains that so far in the US 1 in 528 people have died of Covid19 during the Pandemic. That is what we are looking at here if the Delta strain takes hold and we remain unvaccinated.

i dont give a rats about stats ,and as stubborn as a donkey[some would say,jackass]and paranoid about untested vax.but will book shots 2morrow,being a pariah in society .no thanks.we all go out 1 way or the other.rather spend the time conversing/interacting with my fellow humans than poop scared of them.its a democratic choice that will only put non vaccinated into solitery confinement over time.welcome 2 the brave new world one and all

2nd jab of Pfizer done for me today, all good nothing hurting unlike the first time - my whole body ached, this time it's sweet as 🙂

I love reading back and forths where both parties are posting links, as if it’s really going to change the other persons opinion.

There are a few thousand views on this thread.

They may not be able to change each other's opinions but if a dozen opinions change and get their vaccine because of this, it's worth it.

i think both sides have been presented well enough that people should make the right decision.

you can't censor the other side just because you don't agree with it.

sure this thread has turned all concerned fence sitters,confirmed vax's/non vax's brains to soup,over the last few days

 

[voice_of_reason]

My 23 year old daughter had her first AZ shot yesterday. She, and a lot of her friends, have simply decided to be done with it and get the vaccination they can.

None of them are doing it to watch sport, they just want to be part of the solution. I'm quite proud of them.

Huge well done to all.

 

[swag_tiger]

All of my friends are getting vaccinated as we actually want to go back to normal and do stuff together. E.g. cinemas, Fishing, Clubbing.

Mike your facts in this post and previous posts are indisputable, and also quite alarming, the mind boggles as to how some can write them off Donald Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon style.
I suppose the herd mentality will sort them out

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Also just some numbers to assist people who are in fits about the AZ vaccine.

So far there's been 7 deaths from 6.5 million odd doses.

Comparative to the deaths in countries that have had around 6.5 million cases of COVID-19:

Russia - 6.379m cases, 162,500 deaths
France - 6.233m cases, 112,100 deaths
