  1.  @easymoney8535  Exactly. People fail to recognise that the unvaccinated in Israel, especially among the more likely to be hospitalised crowd over 60, is over 90%. That means from the stats provided along being unvaxed is 6 time more dangerous at a minimum.

  2.  @easymoney8535  They don't even personally cherry-pick the data. They get it fed to them, then when they are told something that disagrees they shutdown. They are using inductive reasoning to arguing for something they "know" is right. My favourite was earlier I got sent a study that agreed with everything I had just said, and it was being passed off as evidence I was wrong. You can't make it up.

  3.  @deborahwyndham-lewis5188  Not really funny, more sad that you feel the need to laugh at facts.

  4.  @joepaul4471  Because dehumanising the people presenting facts to you is the only way you can maintain your ignorance.

  5.  @deborahwyndham-lewis5188  You're right, just look at the cherry-picked stats from Joe Paul. He states something without context of the population sizes or rates they represent. Using his own stat against him we can see that being unvaxxed makes you 3.1 time more likely to be hospitalised with delta. What are you disagreeing with here?

  6.  @deborahwyndham-lewis5188  It's definitely not true. For starters, we have records of the number of cases of myocarditis that the vaccines have caused. Current estimates, even in kids and teens, put the risk in the rare range, less than 1 in 10,000. What's more, you can mitigate this by avoiding exercise for 2 weeks after vaccination. The risk is substantially lower than the risk of myocarditis if you catch covid, which is at least 1%, with 70% of deaths having confirmed myocarditis, and 7% of surviving covid patients having some form of organ damage, usually around the heart and lungs. This bizarre claim of 150K vax deaths is completely unfounded.

  7. @Stick it where the sun dont shine You really don't understand what happened with HIV and Fauci do you?

  8. @Stick it where the sun dont shine What you seem to be ignorant on is actually 3-fold. 1. At the time HIV was such a death sentence that almost nobody would live even a single year with the disease. 2. So little was known about it, but drugs were not being tested on people with HIV at the time. Fauci and the people working with him made it so that testing could be done on people with HIV. People in the HIV community and the medical community have actually praised him for the ability to start testing. 3. Fauci didn't push any specific drugs. AZT was one of the drugs being tested, and people who had a literal death sentence were open to the experimental treatment. What's more is that your claims on AZT are bollocks. It was both FDA approved and released as a generic 20 years later. They still prescribe it today.

  9.  @deborahwyndham-lewis5188  "he said that 99% of people hospitalised were unvaccinated" Well Paul didn't say that, nor the comments below, but you're right this is likely an exaggeration. According to the study published under this name: "New COVID-19 Cases and Hospitalizations Among Adults, by Vaccination Status — New York, May 3–July 25, 2021" The vax is able to reduce the number of people needing to be admitted by 90% among those vaxed. They found that a the unvaxed population in NY, which is half the sizes of their counterparts, were responsible for 4 times the number of infections, leading to 8 times the risk of infection. They put the hospitalisation numbers as 12 times likely in the unvaxed, so as a rate you're looking at 12:1. As a percentage difference of total population the actual number is around 83% unvaxed, bearing in mind they make up half the population. Deaths however are a different story. I need to do more digging, but deaths are far less common in the vaxed. "Our government have been requesting statistics for the double vaccinated dying within 2 months of the vaccine for months!! Why is this not a priority when we are pushing the vaccine?" We have those numbers.

  11.  @deborahwyndham-lewis5188  Rude? It's bollocks.

  12.  @deborahwyndham-lewis5188  I have looked it up, it's bollocks. You can call me rude until you're blue in the face, it won't change the fact that ONS is reporting nothing of the sort.

  13.  @deborahwyndham-lewis5188  No, it's not. No, they aren't. Stop making things up.

  14. ​ @deborahwyndham-lewis5188  The number you are referring to is the people dead from covid btw.

  15.  @deborahwyndham-lewis5188  I agree that 1 is too high, but between this Delta variant and the lack of widespread masking and vaccinating we are still seeing spread and subsequent deaths.
