How many do you think would have gotten sick on you’re non-vaxed ship?

I actually don't care. This story delights me because it's more evidence that the vaccine is a failure and corporate America is crippling itself. I'm good with all of it. So, go on a cruise, take a booster or two, I simply don't give a rip :)

“I actually don’t care.”

You’re lying to yourself, you actually do care otherwise you would stop posting on the topic.

“This story delights me because it’s more evidence that the vaccine is a failure”

That comment is more evidence that you have limited analytic abilities. You’re letting your obvious irrational bias keeping you from seeing reality.

In other words, you suffer from a bad case of self:gaslighting.

But you don’t care.

Xi mutation?! ... What are you ... a racist?!

Please, for this politically-correct virus you must use a political term: It's the "ME variant" (the "midterm election" variant)

Thanks for making my points.

You are not totally beyond help.

You have equated “gotten sick” with positive tests.

You really do not want to go there...

That is not science, that is magic.

It will be interesting to follow this and see if its Omicron rather than earlier strains.

True, probably not that good, but imagine still quite good.

I was just countering the argument that the vaccine is ineffective because of those 10 cases out of 5000. It’s a moronic argument because no vaccine is 100% effective.

To really find out the effectiveness would be to do a similar test with a ship full of 100% non vaxed seasoned citizens.

Which ship would you get on? (None is not a choice).

I totally don’t get your point. Maybe you can expand on it.

They haven’t had that many people on their ships since this started. They are averaging 500 people

From the article...

“More than 3,200 people are on board the ship, officials said.”

The tests are very inaccurate—and they do not measure “sickness” at all.

It is magic, pure and simple.

They measure something wicked, or something like that.

I don’t even give it the ‘quite good’ grade.

Not with:

Boosters after 6-8 months after a second dose and Fauci is saying we could be subjected to yearly ‘boosters,’

The full data set of the trials for the Pfizer concoction won’t be released in full until 2076,

More and more reports of breakthroughs and retransmissions from all over the world,

Reports that the first 4 Botswana Omicronics were actually vaccinated (a little incubation and mutation going on? Who knows?),

Multiple reports and studies out of noticeable increases in pericarditis, myocarditis, Bells Palsy and other ailments in people who should have it,

Biden’s government holding up Government shipments of monoclonal antibody drugs to Florida for why?

And so on.

AFAIC, it is a failed drug with little efficacy and the reason why the actual test data are being withheld would show it.

Finally, efficacy is a matter of perspective. If one were a person with high comorbidity factors, being forced this now-defined-as-a-vaccine is a dangerous choice some are not free to make because of government and/or employer coercion.

I have similar concerns.

My point was about all the freepers going orgasmic that their anti Vax bias was confirmed by 10 vaxed people testing positive out of thousands.

It’s a great example of confirmation bias which we all suffer from to one extent or other.

It’s a cautionary tale to be conscious of our biases and whether they are well founded.

As for your other points, I don’t disagree with most of them. There’s is definitely politics and disinformation on BOTH sides, and as far as long term effects we still don’t know, which is totally understandable and undeniable given that it’s so new.

I got my jabs because I’m 73 with heart problems, so I just played the odds. I’m not in favor of mandates - people and companies should make their own decisions, and if I had little kids I would not let them get vaxed - same reason, playing the odds.

Does any of this make sense?

Cruise ships will be the best Covid labs. It will become impossible to say it’s a disease of the evil unvaxxed. All on board are vaxxed!

Also if they have omicron they basically only have a cold.
