People have been wondering about the effect of the vaccines, hospital admissions, percentages etc; this twitter thread is well worth a reassuring look. The doomers need to give it a fucking rest

 

There it is.  Literally in picture form for them, and they still won’t get it.

We have vaccinated enough people that it is no longer an issue.

End of.

No sane and intelligent person is currently saying anything different.

Of course, there are some other people who should read that thread too. 

They had their silly protest in London today, here are some highlights

 

with a Trump 2024 flag right in the centre, on Trafalgar Square, in London, England, last time i looked he wasn't in the running for Bozza's job. Fucking idiots the lot of them, its basically a conspiracy theorists day out, with a few far right nutters thrown in.

They would rather you didn't. They have actual work to do - not like you teachers and your six weeks summer holidays. 

Please do me a favor and think of some decent put downs. Ideally involving the previously mentioned lubricant and perhaps even public toilets to spice it up a bit. Noticed you been on site for a year so assume you a COVID OAP come over, but let me fill you in, this forum has a long held tradition old boy of some seriously edgy stuff so please keep up a good show.

Dr Ewart said models weren’t helpful here due to our small numbers and I can see where she’s coming from. I’ve spent the last year plus modelling this pandemic. My first effort did the trick quite well, but recently the confidence intervals have just been far too wide - we don’t really know R for delta, we don’t know the exact vaccine efficacy, and all models are very sensitive to these inputs. 

Had quants, actuaries, and people in gaming, tell me the comments she made regarding mathematical modeling was cringeworthy and embarrassing. Finance, insurance and gaming are parts of economy which bring home the bacon. See the IOM GDP figures, and ask were the foreign earnings and coming from. All three are based on mathematical modeling, all three require specialist training, and all three to continue here need to continually import talent. What she should have said is mathematical modeling in fine and IoM IOMG is funded by its application but Ben Fairfax and a complete bell end and should shut the f**k up! I would have been absolutely cool with that, but representing the IoM like its a country still living in the dark ages I am not. 

Before that we had some really odd comments on Herd Immunity from Health Minister and other one. Fair enough I suppose from them but what Dr H did was not cool. I think it must have been a rush of blood, and she is regretting what she said now. Here is a recap, try not to cringe:

"Herd immunity would be if you had it for the rest of your life" - Howard Quayle Herd immunity does not mean lifetime immunity.

 

"Herd immunity only works if it's a permanent barrier against infection" - David Ashford

"Our chief defense against COVID is not trying to achieve herd immunity, it's the vaccination program" - Henrietta Ewart

I am just please (as I hoped from the start) that IOMG Government is just a bunch of people who do what UK PH said', photocopy whatever they sent here and memorize the catchphrases and repeat them at the press conferences. I feel lot safer with that set up than if decisions were actually being made here.

You lose all credibility when you start posting this sort of tripe.

Blimey, that's a bit harsh coming from you fella... 

Perhaps. Moreso utilitarian. Her shitespewing over the last 18 months has likely damaged a number of lives.

If I had a preference it'd be for her to stop being a complete knob and trying to convince people to do things that are more likely to cause them serious harm, but that doesn't seem likely, so second best option...
