BA.5 sounds like one of Elon Musk’s children, name wise.
About time, we didn’t have a new “scariant” for about a week now!
@Yo Alice!!
I know right? I was getting tired of the reruns. 🙄
I was hoping for the “Omega” variant personally.. that one sounds pretty scary.
@Jon In SLO I saw that movie. It starred Charlton Heston. 😉
Uk medical journal for ba5 low hospitalization and death , take extra precautions on the elderly and END IT THERE!
Trudouche doesn’t wear masks anymore when he globetrots burning fuel
He is rich. Rich don’t wear masks. Only his divided into poor wear masks
Nobody cares.
Stop commenting and start questioning the bsl4znet partnership of zoonotic pat hogen labs.
They need another excuse for spending more money.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahaha bye Felicia!
Nope…no more for me…regret the two I got feared into taking.
Did u notice any adver se Sid.3 3ffects?
Just don’t take anymore and try and eat healthy. Hopefully you got one of the less dangerous batches and you can cleanse it out.
@Jon In SLO Get that Vitamine D and zink.
At this point I’ll risk infection!!!!
More joke science.
Start reporting on the injuries caused by the vaccines.
They wont. It is sick
Nobody cares, except the 75+ year old ladies wearing their N95s in their cars.
0.02 percentage points. That’s the difference in worst outcome (expiring from the virus) between having zero shots and three or more shots — 1.07% for those with 0 shots and 1.05% for those with 3+.
That’s according to official data from the Public Health Agency of Canada.
Based on that data, it seems the boosters are pretty much worthless in preventing the worst outcome of all.
Interesting how you chose to leave out that same math for individuals with two doses. Wonder why that would be. Care to show the math for that group as well?
Percentage of what? A percentage comparison is useless without stipulating the parameters of what was being measured. Either specify details of the comparison or, better yet, provide a link to the source so we can see what you were looking at for ourselves. I’m fairly confident you’re misinterpreting whatever you think you read. If the boosters are as useless as you claim then why is PHAC pushing them as the newest variant starts to take hold? It makes no sense for anyone who’s not a full blown conspiracy nut.
Dr. Maria Shapiro in lockstep with the regime.
High time to turn off the broken record.
I’m so scared
Dr. Maria Shapiro must be unsuccessful as a doctor – that’s why she tries to make career as a TV expert.
Give it a rest fools
