Right out of the dictatorship playbook - get everyone too sick and scared to fight you. The world needs Bolsonaro out of there sharpish before he bulldozes the rain forest and screws the whole planet.

Pfizer COVID-19 shot effective for people with chronic diseases: Israel study
The COVID-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech is effective at preventing symptomatic and severe disease in people with some chronic ...
www.channelnewsasia.com
For people who were vaccinated and were already suffering three or more chronic conditions or risk factors, such as heart disease, neurological disease, chronic kidney disease, chronic lung disease, smoking, pregnancy or obesity, the research shows it was 88% effective in preventing symptomatic infection.
It was more than 90 per cent effective against severe disease for people with type 2 diabetes, heart or cerebrovascular disease and 100 per cent for people suffering from immunodeficiency.
The data is the latest from Israel where a universal and digitised healthcare system and the speedy vaccination programme have allowed researchers insights into the vaccine's potency. Clalit covers more than half of Israel's population.
Should have got the Pfizer shot Pete
“It also found the vaccine to be 92 per cent effective in preventing symptomatic COVID-19 among people over the age of 70, 96 per cent for overweight people and 93 per cent for those suffering obesity and provided 90 per cent protection for people suffering from hypertension.”

Just a minute, who said I was overweight....I’m just a foot or so too short.....
Pretty sure that is DiCaprio's doing
Heartbreaking thread, was bad enough when we were blindsided by the virus in early 2020 but that this humanitarian tragedy could happen over a year later with all our new knowledge and vaccines is just inexcusable.
Seems like toffeepie might be finding fertile ground for his nonsense over at Mumsnet 
I've met some on my travels, they say Lula was a dangerous commie who hated his own country while that scumbag bolasanaro is a patriot. Sounds very very familiar. Weirdly those folk are generally not Brazilian but just live there while the travelling Brazilians I meet all hate him to a man (a lot of those happened to work for doctors without Borders which could explain it)

Infections didn't increase when schools opened Dave. You keep peddling this lie. They levelled off for a 2/3 week period despite testing doubling and thousands of asymptomatic cases being found daily. And since that initial levelling off cases have more than halved. He

Good that you both called this out. It's laughable to suggest that positivity rates increased just because they tested double the amount and still found a similar number of cases. Davek shouldn't be using fake statistics.
End of the pandemic and 4,000 people will be allowed into our great Brit awards.
What a glorious day.
Some muck and swill for me tonight.
