I don't know what I'm talking about? I'm simply reiterating what the medical professionals are saying, and posted a couple of articles for you to check my math against.
I thought it would be wonderful if it was highly infectious and only had mild symptoms. But it's mild symptoms has been in a young population. Also many in SA have been infected with covid before. So the idea of you getting omi and then you are safe for the duration may not hold water. If this version could reinfect people who had covid before why would there not be a new mutation that will reinfect people that had omi? Especially if it is very infectious, it will have a lot of hosts to mutate in.

SMH..... :wall:
an unvaccinated mother whose baby died after contracting COVID-19 has said that she has no regrets about not being vaccinated against the disease.

On October 22, just days after mother of three Katie Leeming, 22, tested positive for COVID-19, Ivy-Rose Court, who was born prematurely at 26 weeks,died.

Leeming, a bakery assistant from Blackpool, Lancashire, said that she chose not to get vaccinated after hearing "horror stories about women having miscarriages." She said the accounts scared her and she didn't want to "take the risk."

Omicron is just 1 of many variants of Covid. Omicron is Covid
This thread is specifically discussing the Omicron variant. It's kind of like if there was a thread about OG Kush, and you decided to start talking about Blue Dream. They are both weed, so I guess that's a thing.

well, the longer the virus is active in a body, the more time it has to develop new mutations, and each mutation has the potential to be radically different than it's parent, potentially much more deadly, potentially much harder to resist.
with this particular virus, with mild symptoms, there's a good chance that it will be dismissed as the cold, or the flu, and people won't seek treatment, which will give it that much longer to mutate
and you treat it with what to get rid of it? Like they got rid of influenza? Its here to stay.

well, first of all, it's clade, not clave...Clade is a group in which every member shares a common ancestor (a unique common ancestor). A clade is a group for which all the descendants of the last common ancestor of the members of the group are included in the group.
so you're wrong, you still have the same ancestors, so you're still a member of the same clade.
second, Phylocode has nothing to do with genetic engineering, it's merely an alternative to the Linnean system of nomenclature...
third, almost all vaccines have some animal component in them, and just about everyone in this country has had the required vaccinations as a child, so we've all already been exposed to the partial dna of mice, or eggs, or w/e they used to get the required code for the vaccine...
so...are you craving cheese? do you want to find a place to roost and lay eggs?...
if you don't understand what you're reading, don't try to use it to prove a point...
Different branch of the same clade (linnean? sp? Linnaeaun run-that game-. Phylocode- has space for GMO organisms, Linnaean does not. How's the transmission rate in your vaccine working out? No, really how is the transmission rate in your immunization working out? Why do you need 2,3,4 shots? Same as polio, malaria? Immunization or vaccine?
Vaccine that doesn't work? Called a treatment, not a Vaccine.
Exposed to other vaccines? Yes, so to call me anti-vaxx is ? Same with almost all Americans and Canadians- so the vaxx, anti-vaxx dichotomy is a false paradigm. Craving cheese, yes!!! looking for a place to roost and lay eggs? Sorry, rooster here. Not motivated by todays transvestite trans-humanism. Animal component in a vaccine, ok, but humanized rat-dna? hard pass thanx. Go get that graphene-oxide, never-mind over 100 pro soccer players dropping on the field, like never before.

we have a new pharmacy close by they were 2x delivered bad refrigerators i tried to sneak over there but no luck. I'm just gonna sign up; next available is around Christmas. the flu shot i already called the pharmacy i go to and will get that just walking down no appointment necessary; they're mom and pop and don't do Covid probably due to special refrigeration. + if i just show they may only have enough on hand for those scheduled that day.

Just because were in a pandemic doesn't mean we shouldn't have manners.

i once asked job foreman to use his dumpster and he looked at me like i had two heads 'you're the first person who's ever asked'.

i think i'm part Canadian..i know i would blend in nicely up there.
:o!

Nevermind the vaccination. This post gave aneurysm.

White House says DOJ will defend government's authority to promote vaccine requirement
We agree it is impossible to be both "free" and able to be ordered to take an experimental gene therapy injection against your will though, right?

You mean like telling business they can’t protect employees or good customers by requiring a mask ?
Or do you mean the freedumb like taking away womens rights?
Or maybe it’s the freedumb to politicize a virus to give hope to a dying right wing
Tough to be free with the violent threats from the radical right

No, I mean the freedom to control your own body. Same freedom many exercised for decades when they smoked, grew or traded weed.

It's pretty common knowledge that the gene therapy known as "vaccines" don't magically make the person who got injected immune from covid.

I think a business should be able to enforce their policies, not be forced or coerced into enforcing the overlords polices. There is a difference. I think people who don't like those policies should be free to go somewhere else or start their own competitive business, unmolested by the government or the government sucking corporations ( governmentalities) that lobby to shut down small businesses or potential competitors.

Also, I'm pro choice when it comes to vaccines etc. Women don't have any more or any less rights than other people, so I try to avoid saying vacuous things like, "womens rights" . That kind of speech threatens logic.

You love violent threats, if you push mandatory injections.
