Pandemic over soon ...

[rogespeed]

with another day another 30,000+ cases within NSW the pandemic will surely end soon as they run out of the unvaccinated or will Camberra run out of unvaccinated first ? 

Fortunately the South Africans were correct in evaluating Omicron as being highly infectious but relatively mild - almost effectively the fourth vaccine for those fated to contract 

[rogespeed]

finished ?

Not yet - Booster booked for tomorrow.

I fully agree with you. However, while tiring and difficult, I think it is important that we continue to support each other to take precautions. Becoming complacent could cost lives. What more concerns me is the number of deaths and the absence of shock horror to those deaths. We are so different to how we were in 2020. I hope that isn't a sign of progress!

You agree with me and I agree with you!

I keep up with the numbers in each state, and I am so disturbed by the absence of details for the people who have died…. Victoria doesn’t release even the gender of the dead. I extrapolate from the daily cumulative death numbers, in an attempt to give some sort of face to those who have lost that terrible struggle.

In 2020 the public were “feeling” those deaths much more. Now it is perfunctory. I cannot let it be perfunctory…

I don't believe the pandemic as such will be 'over' any time soon, but with luck, we may be entering a period where we just proceed with caution.

But unless we faced another version of covid that was much more severe, then lockdowns should be a thing of the past. I feel we may be moving to just 'managing' on an individual basis with covid.

I looked at some very rough figures the other day. Number of reported covid cases/ number of deaths.

On May 14 2020, the figure was running at about 1:98.

In Vic on 3 Oct 2020 though, it was 1:30 and by 25 Nov 2020 it was 1:25. That was at the tail end of our long lockdown. Yes, it was that deadly. It was before any vaccine was available.

Fast forward to now and if we look at total deaths against total number of reported cases Australia wide over the last couple of years, the overall death rate is about 1:637. That's the omicron effect.

Once you get over 50 though, your overall odds haven't been anywhere as good.(talking of the last 2 years, not just omicron)

I'm in Vic and I don't know anyone lately who has not been affected by omicron or has not had family affected. It's everywhere. But it is not killing most people.

It is always going to kill some though.

But we may be entering the 'managing' stage of the disease if we are lucky.

I read this on the WHO website.

As a matter of global equity, as long as many parts of the world are facing extreme vaccine shortages, countries that have achieved high vaccine coverage in their high-risk populations should prioritize global sharing of COVID-19 vaccines through the COVAX facility before proceeding to vaccination of children and adolescents who are at low risk for severe disease.

It is of utmost importance for children to continue to receive the recommended childhood vaccines for other infectious diseases.

What I would like to see is a bit more common sense in regard to vaccination and booster shots.

I do believe it is important to be vaccinated. However, forcing the booster onto people too soon regardless of circumstances isn't the best use of boosters, in my opinion.

For example, my daughter has had her 2 vaccinations, second one in Nov I think. She had covid a couple of weeks ago. Now she is supposed to have the booster by the end of this month if she wants to keep her job.

She would have developed some antibodies from her bout of covid. To me, it would make more sense if she could delay her booster till April/May, 3 months after her illness and just before the colder weather sets in.

Mind & Body
Perspectives on the Pandemic With Dr. Peter McCullough

Udumbara
Jan 19, 2022

Dr. Peter McCullough has an impressive list of credentials — he’s an internist, cardiologist, epidemiologist and a full professor of medicine at Texas A&M College of Medicine in Dallas and is the editor of two medical journals and published hundreds of studies in the literature. He’s also among those brave and courageous persons speaking out about the dangers of COVID-19 jabs, and putting his medical license and future livelihood at risk by so doing.

“There’s a hunting that’s going on here that’s very disturbing,” McCullough said in an episode of Perspectives on the Pandemic. He was referring to state medical boards hunting down doctors and their and threatening revocation of their licenses based on the spreading of unidentified “misinformation.”

“This is absolutely astonishing that this is happening over a fair exchange of ideas,” he said. What is Dr. McCullough sharing that the powers that be don’t want you to hear? It’s about COVID-19 injections and, to sum it up in a sentence, “It’s not working and it’s causing tremendous damage.”

COVID Jab Efficacy and Safety Overstated From the Start

In the U.S., Operation Warp Speed is the federal effort that fast-tracked COVID-19 jab candidates to market. Gene transfer technology platforms emerged as the frontrunners, including adenoviral DNA platforms or messenger RNA (mRNA) platforms designed to deliver genetic material to the human body.

Once the mRNA is injected, the body then takes up the genetic material and changes in some way. These technologies have been under study for years, in most cases being designed to replace a defective gene, which could potentially be used for cancer treatment, for example. Except historically, “all failed,” McCullough said.

In November 2020, however, Pfizer, in a joint venture with Germany-based BioNTech, announced that their mRNA-based injection was “more than 90% effective” in a Phase 3 trial. This does not mean that 90% of people who get injected will be protected from COVID-19, though, as it’s based on relative risk reduction (RRR).

The absolute risk reduction (ARR) for the jab is less than 1%. “Although the RRR considers only participants who could benefit from the jab, the absolute risk reduction (ARR), which is the difference between attack rates with and without a jab, considers the whole population. ARRs tend to be ignored because they give a much less impressive effect size than RRRs,” researchers wrote in The Lancet Microbe in April 2021.

Nonetheless, the jabs received emergency use authorization. By giving the emergency authorization, not approval, the jab administration constituted a research trial, with the sponsors being the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration. According to McCullough:

Dr. Peter McCullough is a known vaccine-sceptic and has numerous claims made by him shown to be, at best, misleading.

As has been mentioned to 4C many times.

But won't change their mindset

At least the misleading misinformation is now in a spoiler. lol

I think you need to rethink your belief, or go to specsavers and read more recent reporting on COVID. 

Your rogespeed quote is from 15th FEBRUARY, almost TWO months ago.

TWO MONTHS is a long time in the life of this virus.  In just recent days there has been an omicron variant that has seen a spike in cases in several places across the world, including NSW:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-03-10/what-we-know-about-covid-omicron-sub-variant-ba2/100899980

This, I suppose, means that things can change quickly with COVID numbers, especially in two months.

From the abc news story 10th March (a day ago):

Just as we begin to enjoy our renewed freedoms, a potentially more infectious coronavirus mutation is emerging.

New South Wales Health Minister Brad Hazzard said cases could "more than double" in six weeks due to new Omicron sub-variant BA.2, as the state recorded 16,288 cases on Thursday, its highest number since January.

Across the globe, countries have experienced a surge in cases credited to BA.2, including Denmark, the UK, Norway and Sweden, according to Danish research institute Statens Serum Institut (SSI).
