  1.  @robbiereekie3694  Erm..........yeah you did. "Most of the scientists who discovered the problem now say they were wrong"

  2.  @andrew30m  Yes, and what has that got to do with the damage to the ozone layer, which is the subject of this video? (Clue: nothing whatsoever).

  3.  @IshoRulesLuciferGoetiaWitchc  Thanks for such an insightful and well thought out critique. So helpful.

  4.  @history6988  Are you being serious? Are you really trying to say that the massive hole is just because they sampled the upper atmosphere at the wrong time of year?

  5.  @jazzysoggy12  Because there are endless separate research papers published in all sorts of science journals all over the world, all coming to the same conclusion. Scientists compete with each other, and if one team could show that another team's research was flawed, they would......and they haven't. Not everything on this planet is a conspiracy.

  6.  @jazzysoggy12  This thread is 46 replies long, so it is very difficult to follow any one line of conversation. Yes, anthropomorphic climate change is real. However, this video is about the hole in the ozone layer, which is of course a very different thing. Indeed, they're completely unrelated topics, so I am not sure why you would raise the issue of climate change at all. It is incontrovertible that there is a hole in the ozone layer, and it is incontrovertible that the Montreal protocol's banning of CFCs and HCFCs in the 80s has led to a reduction in the size of that hole. It is those findings I was referring to. There are dozens of papers on the subject. Youtube doesn't allow links.

  7.  @JohnDoe-du1ks  The difference between humans and yin & yang is that humans exist.

  8.  @jazzysoggy12  "How do you know you're not being fed lies" is the source of the confusion. I responded by saying in terms that the science doesn't lie, and you started talking about climate change. It's not me making the mistakes in this thread.

  9.  @physicalgrafiti12345  No. It isn't.

  10. I think the other point, in addition to the answer you've already received, is (or at least, was) to give boosters in something of a priority order. For the sake of fairness, people who had their second dose 2 or 3 months ago shouldn't really be getting their booster ahead of those who has it 6 months ago...particularly as the longr ago you had your second jab, the older you are (in general).

  11.  @homeland1128  Could you read your reply through again slowly, do an edit, and maybe someone will then have a clue as to what point you are trying to make.

  12. I think it's pretty reasonable to expect to have a booster every year. You know, like we do for other fast evolving viruses such as the flu. So what?

  13. You don't have to. The main reason for the wait was to make sure that the more vulnerable got their boosters first. There is no downside to having them early.

  14.  @littlereptilian7580  No, keeping people alive is the plan.

  15.  @DrCruel  Jeez, what an idiotic comment. Are you still in kindergarten?

  16.  @robbiereekie3694  This is a straight-out lie. Hundreds of people have "found" the ozone hole. Any university student of meteorology could travel down south and with a few hundred pounds worth of kit find it for him/herself. Indeed, they do this by the score evry single year. You can't name me a single scientist who has recanted on the existence of this hole, and if you can, his/ her name will still have brown on it because you'll have plucked it out of your backside.

  17.  @taptapdig5487  Not so. Not so at all. Vaccines provide protection which declines over time. It isn't zero at 3 months, as you suggest, it's just less than it was. And if you read the other answers, you'll find that the time limits (6 months then 3 months) were more about ensuring that people got their boosters in a priority order.

  18. End times was supposed to be within the lifetime of the writers of the gospels. You domesday cultists just keep on thinking up excuses for why it doesn't happen......over and over and over again.

  19. Early treatment with what, Jaspreet? The very first anti-virals to win approval for covid are only just coming onto the market, so the doctors have had literally nothing with which to treat the disease in its early stages before now.

  20. So what, if it keeps millions of people alive?

  21.  @PasAthene  You are obviously a simpleton, and a conspiracy theorist (the two normally go hand-in-hand). It doesn't matter who discovered the hole, because its existence has been independantly confirmed by every scientist that has looked at the issue. University kids can go south and do the measurements themselves.....it's really that simple. It also doesn't matter who benefits financially, so long as the disaster is avoided. Now grow up.

  22.  @person5633  There's a chance we'll need one every year, as for flu. So what?

  23.  @kelvinsurname7051  Why would you do that when there is no need?
    1
  24. Because it's made up nonsense.

  25. Possibly. We get boosters every year for other diseases, so it's not illogical to think we might have to do that with covid. So what?

  26. Not much you don't. Not on a population wide basis. 1.5% mortality rate for the unvaccinated...so what's 1.5% of the population of your country?

  27. Because computer virus is a good model for a natural virus and the body's immune system, right?

  28. The South African population is very much younger than that in Europe and North America (life expectancy of 60, compared with our 85). They have very few over 60's, for instance. The virus is circulating amongst their youngsters, too, so it will be a little while before we know if it causes serious disease. Yes, the initial signs have some hope in them, but it really is far too early to tell. We should know by the new year.

  29. Well, true, but unfortunately natural infection kills 1.5% of the people who get it. What's 1.5% of the population of your country?

  30.  @callmeyourmajesty09  No, I'm not. Most of the grown ups have flu booster jabs every year. Ask your mummy about it.

  31. No it hasn't. It's too early to tell how deadly omicron is. They'll know around new year. Please don't misrepresent science with nonsense such as "it's been proven....".

  32. Probably. So what?

  33.  @ArgonNoble  Annual boosters, adjusted to account for variations (as they do with flu). What's the problem?
