I read it.23 out of 25 people were fully vaccinated. Small sample size doesn't make it any less disturbing.
Science has unrealistic standards anyways, 23 people is more than a big enough sample size to prove omicron ignores vaccines.

How is the second one misrepresented? I posted the entire article.The first one, ok.
Kind of an unfair standard to rebuke the sender if the mail is "sensationalist", but I'll be more though in posting.
I was talking about your interpretation of it too, and how you're painting it in the forum.
It's bad form, and is beyond your usual "I'll be an edgy contrarian" bullshit. Almost anything else on this forum, I give people a lot more leeway, but this is a literal pandemic.
Apathy and misinformation LITERALLY gets people killed.

walgreens and cvs were f*cking useless. they deliberately send you online to lead you into the appointment process, answer a million questions, just to find out at the end that no appointments are available. worthless incompetent shitbags.called a small local pharmacy and had the shot with an hour.
I didn't imagine it would actually be hard to get a vaccine when they tout it so much as being "come and get it, it's widely available".

Lets stick with the Jerusalem Post one.
What did I say that crosses the line into dangerous misinformation?
I mean, yes, I didn't go into detail, but when I posted the 4x less effective comment, I figured it was at least supported by the article.

You need to call the phone number. The website is a shit show.

Seriously..? Behave dur
He wants a booster shot, doesn't he? Walmart is where I got my Pfizer booster. Walked in with two other people, they asked what shot we wanted, asked for our Covid cards and ID's, handed over some paperwork to sign, took us in one at a time, and 15 minutes of sitting down later we left.
Entire process took maybe 25-30 minutes at most. No appointments.
If we're not talking about boosters than my bad.
Highlights:
UK public health risk for omicron virus raised from level 3 to level 4, the second highest level.
This after 1,239 new cases recorded this past Sunday. A 65% increase from 1,898 on Saturday.
Omicron is projected to become the dominant strain.
Pfizer and Moderna reported to show good effectiveness.
Now they say that and I hope it's true, but the BBC reported this:
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-59627188
Essentially predicting a (And I use their wording) big wave with potentially deaths.
Of course no one says the vaccine is immunity, but this is still very discouraging news.
Edited for accuracy, removed "many" from deaths (They only said potential deaths, my mistake)

U.S. COVID Deaths Surpass 800K
The United States on Sunday reached 800,000 coronavirus-related deaths, as the nation braces for a potential surge in infections due to more time spent indoors with colder weather and the highly-transmissible Omicron variant of the virus.
The milestone means the U.S. death toll from this one virus now exceeds the entire population of North Dakota.
Even with vaccines widely and freely available, the country has lost more lives to the virus this year than in 2020 due to the more contagious Delta variant and people refusing to get inoculated against COVID-19.
