This makes me nervous, out of Ontario:


50% of current hospitalisations are fully vaccinated.

are the vaccinated people hospitalized more likely to have significant comorbidities?

This is what happens when you've staked your entire professional life on the idea that action requires solid, nearly incontrovertible evidence and you suddenly find yourself front and center in a situation that requires extreme levels of caution and a need to take a pessimistic view of data until you have a good reason to do otherwise.

quote:

To be eligible for reimbursement, death certificates for those who died after May 16, 2020, must indicate that the death was attributed to COVID-19.

For deaths that occurred in the early months of the pandemic — from Jan. 20 to May 16, 2020 — death certificates must be accompanied with a signed statement from a medical examiner, coroner or the certifying official listed on the certificate indicating that COVID-19 was the cause or a contributing cause of death.

The percentage of individuals who have been reimbursed varies dramatically from state to state — from nearly 40% in North Carolina and Maryland to fewer than 15% in Idaho and Oregon, according to state-by-state data compiled by FEMA.

...

The program has paid out more than 21,000 reimbursements in California and Texas, which have both reported more than 74,000 COVID-19 deaths. Residents applied for more than $141 million in each state.

The fewest number of reimbursements have occurred in Vermont, where 123 people were awarded a total of about $704,000.

it's definitely not a novel take but my current take is that after new years, the consent manufacturing machine is going to a complete 180 on omicron being mild. the whiplash is, of course, going to break a lot of brains and not a single liberal will ask the question of the timing of these events

Semper Shitpost Ubique

There are 3000 CAF members requesting exemption from the covid vaccine, despite major outbreaks in barracks on all the bases. This is going to accelerate when everybody from block leave comes back from all over the country in a week or so. Recruitment and training pipelines are already hosed, morale is lower than the worst days of Afghanistan. Just misery as guys get driven into the ground.

Considering they gave us malaria vaccines that drove people crazy and led to suicides, I don’t know how to talk to people who are against the covid shot.

What a shitshow.

https://twitter.com/umichmedicine/status/1473091350610464770?s=19

generally, yeah... the vaccinated people in the hospital are almost always at high risk of severe disease in the first place

ontario is about 80% vaccinated and i would guess their vulnerable populations are in the high 90% vaccinated range, so there aren't a while lot of unvaccinated at risk individuals to make up the rest of the pie

this but replace "health system" with "overall economy"

if this thing keeps spreading the way it is right now (and it will), everyone is gonna get sick within the next 2-3 weeks and nobody is going to be able to show up for work

even in some ridiculously optimistic scenario where 60% of cases are asymptomatic it will still be devastating

now might be a really good time to stock up on poo poo, ngl

I am so loving sorry man. I try to educate antivax on N95 and validate their fears of government, because there are definite reasons people feel that way. It rarely works but I'm not okay with people being left to die either. Like I cannot live with myself if I don't try at least once every wave.
