would you like to volunteer to be one of the quarter of one percent? How many doctors, nurses, scientists, cops, bus drivers, mothers and fathers comprise that one quarter of the one percent? Is life so casual to you ? Or is it your fear that pushes reality into an impersonal decimal?
Approx 1 in 6 UKers have been confirmed infected (similar to the US). Around 1/3 of those infected will have some form of long covid - which may be simple, like sniffles that last 6 months or brain fog, clumsiness, or it might be neurologic or organic, some severe. Of those discharged from ICU around 20 percent roughly will be readmitted in crisis within 90 days and 20 percent will be dead by one year. Discharge from hospital doesn’t mean 100% shiny brand new. Some have to learn to breathe or walk again. Some may never work again. Even asymptomatics can and do incur damage (notice all the people acting crazy lately?)
“rampage” as in from 2 cases to 67,000 omi cases in 3 weeks. That’s a remarkable rate of exponential spread that’s burning thru the 10% unvaccinated population, along with taking another share of the more frail and elderly. But I suppose since that population will only be one quarter of one percent they don’t matter. In which case, why treat them at all, right?
As one who has not been injected with an experimental, phase three clinical trial, and given that the “fully vaccinated” are being spoken about with “breakthrough” infections, I suppose we all are volunteers, one way or another.
I am well aware that some people are experiencing follow-on problems from a viral infections, and you surely are aware that other people are experiencing ADE in numbers reported larger than generally allowed for the continuance of a clinical trial.
You ask, “In which case, why treat them at all, right?” I never suggested that at all. The question is worthy of a BBC interviewer like Cathy Newman.
“So what you're saying is...” in interviews can yield a response “that's not what I'm saying.”
“...a remarkable rate of exponential spread” is not occurring. Documenting the spread — graph or chart — will show that “exponential” is not a descriptor of the data.
