Covid Cruises is the New Thing: this time, fully-vaxxed-and-boosted passengers and crew off Dubai had to shorten their Persian Gulf trip because of…a Covid outbreak
Covid Cruises is the New Thing: this time, fully-vaxxed-and-boosted passengers and crew off Dubai had to shorten their Persian Gulf trip because of…a Covid outbreak
As reported by German media, here's yet another incident that shows the marvels of 'vaccine efficacy' (not), which should make govt's re-think their policies towards 'the unvaxxed'
The Australian govts are still pimping people to get the third dose. Here is the latest example.
They are spinning their vaccine failure by pointing the disproportionate of the unvacced, supposedly, of hospital cases. (Yes, I've reminded the NSW Australia Health Minister that was not how the vaccines were advertised!)
---------------
Premier Steven Marshall said a disproportionate number of those in hospital were not fully vaccinated.
"Thirty to 40 per cent of those [in hospital with the virus] are not fully vaccinated, and yet the proportion of [people in] SA [who are] not fully vaccinated aged 12 and over is about 10 per cent," he said.
"So it's a massive over-representation for those who are not vaccinated."
The Premier said he was relieved by an uptick in vaccination rates, after a dip in recent days, as the push for boosters continues.
"I have to say I'm starting to smile a little bit more," he said.
"Yesterday there was an increase, a very substantial increase in the number of people through the SA Health sites."
Why on earth would I want to "relax" by getting tested with those godawful nasal swabs frequently and be living in fear of a positive hit when even everyone around me is already vaccinated (and boosted!) AND had to take a test before boarding? I'm guessing that many of these passengers must be masochists if actually pay for this experience.
Those scare mongers are in a difficult situation: on the one hand, they need lots of cases to keep the fear level up; on the other hand, the vaccinated must not be affected too much. Just a few minutes ago, I read about a comment by the Gesundheitssenatorin (senator for health) of Bremen, the smallest Bundesland. They have both the highest vaccination rate and (currently) the highest case rate, the latter in combination with few hospitalizations. She attributed the low hospitalization rate to the high vaccination rate, and the high case rate to Bremen being better at capturing all cases than the other Bundesländer. She doesn't seem to have heard about Occam's Omicron...

It’s clear all that’s needed for the ill/not-ill is another booster.

That, my friend, appears to be the question at-hand, isn't it?
