Booster roll up and get your booster. So you pay attention to any science that confirms your biases, but put your fingers in your ears and shout when it doesn't, got you now. I watched the video yesterday, but as you're new to science it's worth pointing out to you that what he's discussing isn't a scientific paper, it's just the abstract from an unpublished paper which hasn't been through the peer review process. If there's anything in the paper if/when it's eventually published and peer reviewed that warrants further study then it will be done. That's the strength of looking for evidence rather than things that confirm your prejudices. https://mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSL1N2SH1HN https://www.logically.ai/factchecks/library/8667a706?hs_amp=true Edited November 27, 2021 by Beni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seymour M Hersh Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Witty now saying this new variant is less worrying than the Delta one was and as far as I remember that was a bit of a damp squib. Spread easily yes but was not overly destructive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redjambo Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Double jabbed yesterday, no effect on me whatsoever yet, not even a sore arm on either the booster or the flu side.

Nucky Thompson Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 The scientists and experts seem to be giving off positive vibes this morning 61 out of 600 passengers arriving into Amsterdam from South Africa yesterday tested positive. I'm presuming none of them had any symptoms or they wouldn't have travelled. Maybe this variant is a lot more asymptomatic and causes less severe disease Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victorian Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I think scientists' reasoning in saying that they're less concerned about Omicron than they were about Alpha and Delta is that Omicron has come along when we're quite a bit further down the road of vaccination coverage. Very few were vaccinated at the time of Alpha. Delta was very transmissible and quickly became dominant but it also yielded a benefit in that it eliminated Beta which was shown to partially escape vaccinations. If they're saying this on the basis of Omicron being less concerning, specifically because of vaccine mitigation, the implication I suspect is that the scientists may believe that the factor of vaccine escape by Omicron will be limited. If there was a belief that the factor of vaccine escape will be substantial then I don't see a reason for scientists to make confident predictions. At the moment, between the lines, these predictions appear to be quite positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocco_Jambo Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I’m going to stay calm for now until I see Sturgeon starting to follow the science by wearing a FFP3 mask or surgical mask instead of her cheeky wee tartan number. It’s bunker down time when that happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
