This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

The RPGPundit's Own Forum Rules
This part of the site is controlled by the RPGPundit. This is where he discusses topics that he finds interesting. You may post here, but understand that there are limits. The RPGPundit can shut down any thread, topic of discussion, or user in a thread at his pleasure. This part of the site is essentially his house, so keep that in mind. Note that this is the only part of the site where political discussion is permitted, but is regulated by the RPGPundit.

So the vaccines are too risky to give without government indemnification.

Stateless people have more protections than citizens who are paying taxes and belong to a state. Incredible.

If you're jealous, become a refugee and walk in their shoes for a few years.

You're nothing if not consistent in reaching entirely the wrong conclusion. Bravo.

The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

Has anyone noticed the incredible irony of the title of this thread? That is exactly where they are in Australia, and where most of continental Europe are heading soon.

Canada want unvaccinated foreigners to leave by the end of February.

Meanwhile it's rumoured the UK government is now planning a two week "circuit breaker" lockdown after Christmas with restrictions only being lifted if enough people get jabbed. They can get fucked.

With this latest variant, if it is as mild as is claimed, everyone who can ought to get infected, suck it up for two weeks of the sniffles, and go on about their lives.  Karens trying to demand to see their papers should just get a figurative (or literal, if needed) punch in the mouth in response from everyone.  Of course, that's easier in the US where we've got the ability to deal with rogue government with more than just strong words.

As an aside, a pub in NY refused to let a NYC health inspector in to see peoples' vaccination cards - because she refused to show her card first...  Exactly what everyone else ought to be doing to these health gestapo cunts.

The UK government's "doubling every two days" narrative has already fallen apart mere days after they said it. "Cases" are falling again. Meanwhile only the most rabid vaxholes are queuing up to get their third jab, and the unjabbed like me aren't the least bit interested in their pathetic attempts at coercion.

More awkward real life data: https://twitter.com/chaxie/status/1473239327341785092

"For my London clinic, those aged <50y and vaccinated are nearly 6 times more likely to be Covid +ve in December 2021 than their unvaccinated peers:"



Shows that it's working, right?

What is "covid +ve"? Specifically the "+ve" part. Thanks.

Positive, ie they test positive for covid.

Where does the denominator come from? General population? Clinic staff? Clinic patients?

It's the number of patients in that population, at that clinic.

"Vacc Only" means two doses, "Booster" means three.

Ok. On first blush that is an interesting take-away from the data.

Now, other factors besides age and vax status could be leading to that result need to be examined. Things like vaccine type, comorbidities, economic class, geographic location, sex, race, etc. For example, it could be that people with the vax and vax + booster are sicker (and hence more likely to get vaxxed) than no vac people.

The correct response to the point you raise is for a traceable and transparent analysis to be performed. Instead, anyone questioning the narrative is branded a heretic by the cult of St. Fauci.
