Why stop at clubs? If you ask me if you aren’t vaccinated you shouldn’t be able to buy food or work.

A sensible post, totally agree

Aaand the first decent sized festival (Houghton) has cancelled due to the pingdemic.

Here we go.

Don't get people moaning about these vaccine passports. Just get the jab. Can't see many reasons why you wouldn't. Bet the people who haven't had it would still get a injection when they go on their exotic holidays though.

Hospital figures - 15 deaths were announced today, nothing to compare to from yesterday but it’s up 10 on last Monday. 11 deaths were in English hospitals, again nothing to compare from yesterday but it is up 7 on last week. The 7 day rolling average rises to an even 33

All settings - for the 28 day cut off, 19 deaths were announced today, down 6 on yesterday and up 13 on last Monday. The 7 day rolling average rises to 42.29

For the 60 day cut off, 23 deaths were announced today, down 5 on yesterday and up 17 on last Monday. The 7 day rolling average rises to 50.43

Correlation does not equal causation but hard to avoid noticing the Dow down 800 points seems to have triggered Fox News into a bit of responsible journalism, at least for their day shift, that overwhelmed hospitals didn’t

I know mistakes can be made but this is a pretty big thing to have got incorrect at a press briefing

He has made many, many errors throughout this, specifically in terms of projections presented in graphs as near-enough fact to the public.

This is just the latest.

Criticall omitted info, yet again.

Those who have been fully vaccinated but are dying will be aged 70+ nearly universally, in all likelihood 80+.

We aren't getting those stats as it doesn't fit the narrative.

I seen somewhere (possibly on here) that a double vaccinated 80+ year old is at the same risk as a 50 year old who isn't vaccinated. They need to make it clear that very old people still could die but for the majority of people under the age of about 70 once you've been vaccinated the chance of death is extremely low.

A lot of the anti vac argument seems to relate to inconclusive results. Incorrect statements by government officials doesn't help to disprove their daft narratives.

I'm starting to worry with all these stories that delta is looking more and more vaccine resistant

What? The vaccines are clearly working really well. Deaths have plummeted.

I mean in terms of infections mate, sorry. Just as likely to catch it, less likely to die
