Have you been vaccinated yet?

As usual those percentages need a little background in math to explain why the vaccine is very effective in the prevention of sickness and death even with some breakthrough cases.

Based on the first video (which is obviously a giant oversimplification), it's impossible for the proportion of vaccinated ppl in hospital to be greater than the proportion of vaccinated ppl in general population.

For the 95% stated by the Israeli doctor, there would have to be a near 100% vaccination rate of the most-at-risk, which is believable, or some other factor.
 
Some parts of Australia are rolling out a "No jab, no job" policy, so it's not just "advice"; it's coercion and discrimination.

Anyone that has had a campfire likely would've put their hand in many times; it would be an infringement on their personal rights to now exclude them from working or entering a building, travelling, etc. because of that.
 

In the US the 65+ population is ~92% single and ~82% fully vaccinated. Wisdom grows with age..

The virus doesn't care about personal rights or infringement. There is no personal right not to get vaccinated because those rights are useless if we are dead. The Constitution is not a suicide pact guaranteeing a right to harm others and there is 'clear and present danger' in not being vaccinated without a valid medical reason.

And the rights of your fellow employees, building users, travellers? Should your rights trump theirs?
 
I would say that without vaccinations and reasonable precautions, travel and buildings are not allowed, shouldn't they be? Should the whole region be put on hiatus because of you alone? With all the economic development stalled and all the losses so much, once a place stops moving, the economy comes to a halt! How many farmers, how many stores closed down during the time when the epidemic started, have you seen it? You definitely haven't, because you're only biased to see the bad side
 
I'm sorry, did they not get vaccinated?
Yes. And if you are an asymptomatic carrier, they are probably mostly protected from the worst of it. But their kids aren't. Their unvaccinated-on-legitimate-medical-ground relatives and friends aren't.

That makes them an asymptomatic carrier as well then.
 
Maybe employers are looking for team players who will help the business succeed by working together, not make every decision on what they, the selfish individual employee wants to do.

The campfire thing is not a helpful analogy. You're still thinking narrowly about risk and harm to the individual and not considering the wider population (made up of individuals).

You used that as a noun? But most people not being vaccinations see it as their reason not too, since he is the savior. Even though he got the jab, they don't believe because to them it's fake news.

In Israel, Being Fully Vaccinated Now Means Three Shots

It's time to triple tap that virus.
 

If there's anything more bogus than horse paste as a virus remedy it's BS stories about the hidden secrets of Nikola Tesla. There is nothing the guy engineered that couldn't be designed by a EE undergrad today. He's was a great mind for the 1880's but by the time he died he was a small footnote (and eventually a SI standard term) in modern scientific theories.
