Dunno. I thought posting random stats and letting others decipher them was par for course on this thread. Or is that just for anti-vaxxers?
You need to add ‘I find it interesting that’ to join the anti vax misinformation club.

Is this total deaths or covid deaths? Again its correlation vs causation - potentially SK in lockdown to get low vax and low death.

I find the total rate of death (e.g. per 10,000) for each vaccination population, by age and for a fixed region the most compelling set of information as it holds many factors constant that otherwise can muddy the numbers you are looking at. It either confuses folks or leads to the numbers getting misused if correlations are presented that conflate these factors.

For e.g. for the crusaders - an antivax person can cherry pick the SK data and compare to LT, as much as provax can look at the general trend here. Confirmation bias is a *smile* as has been pointed out.

With that said when the rate numbers are presented, per the spreadsheet lamby shared, they are extremely compelling.

It's death rate of Covid per 1000,000 people.

Omicron.... sounds like a Transformer character... which is apt - quick to mutate, twice the speed of Delta....

Not worried unless it has the ability to get around vaccines.

Pfizer and J & J testing all that now ...

Like several other countries, why wouldn’t Hunt err on the side of caution and suspend access to Australia from SA until they can understand it’s impact ?

I hear our vaccines are 30% effective against omicron. Combine that with waning effects and we are back to square one.

Literally square one. We need preemptive efforts to impose a proper quarantine system.

Thankfully we have the most perceptive, efficient and agile federal government we’ve had since Keating.

I find it interesting that they don't specifically mention how that antiparasitics can combat the new strain

He had a booster and covid. Both sides are going to have a field day with this one.
Another bad reaction to the vaccine. I cant believe state governments are forcing people to put themselves at risk by getting an unproved vaccine.

He was dealing with myasthenia gravis and was undergoing chemotherapy so I assume he was immuno compromised.

Caroline Wilson and her family have contracted Covid as well, in Amsterdam.
