    I did, hence i said:

    Even if they were not vaccinated for a while, there’s always a percentage of immunity.

    Sorry, but I’m not up to the fearmongering campaigns once again. The first response to Covid was totally out of measure in my opinion and they’re retrying it again.

      what-the-hell

      Inconveniencing boomers consuming their sit-in restaurant treats until they started blockading hospitals and breaking into government buildings until those inconveniences were rolled back was “out of measure?”

        I haven’t been around Lemmy for a few weeks and today is my first time seeing anyone from the Hexbear instance. I like you people.

      Death is not the only negative outcome from Covid infection. When you consider the literature on Covid causing grey matter loss, prion disease, chronic vasculitis, cardiac disease, autoimmune disease, etc, you could argue death is actually one of the preferred outcomes.

      Immunity isn’t an on/off switch and the virus is mutating to escape immune detection. It seems like you do not have a solid grasp on the kinetics of vaccine and viral immunity, is there a question I can answer for you or would you like some resources that might help improve your comprehension?

      Bruh.

      The curse of successful mitigation is skeptics will then say afterwards that ‘X was no big deal, look how few people died’

      Don’t be one of those.

        I blame the combination of how over-hyped the (real) issue of Y2K was combined with how successfully we handled it (partly because everyone was so worked up about it) leading to the (common issue for IT professionals) take away of “well nothing went wrong, why did we put all that effort into trying to stop something going wrong?” for no small part of why people weren’t as willing to try to stop/minimise Covid as they otherwise might have been (of course it was always going to be a harder sell as Y2K mostly required from the general public that they don’t have a tantrum about organisations paying professionals to fix the problem directly whereas Covid required the general public to follow the advice of the professionals in taking action in their own lives.)

      We all knew you had already drawn your conclusion that this was “fearmongering” before seeing any facts.

      No one is going to logic you out of a position you didn’t use logic to get into in the first place.
