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.

In the the-government-is-temporarily-being-less-evil category, Biden announced they'll ship 500 million free covid tests to Americans because of omicron fears and his redheaded stepchild of a spokesperson is mildly embarrassed because she mocked the idea just 2 weeks ago.

More awkward real-world data, from an ONS survey of Omicron infections:



Four times more likely to be infected if triple-jabbed. Almost as though Omicron evolved specifically in response to the limited immunity the jabs (designed for Alpha, completely obsolete now) provide and now completely bypass it. With added antibody dependent enhancement, that they were warned about before the programs began (which is why the jabbed get infected more frequently).

That doesn't show what you think it does.

It shows exactly what I said. Of people presenting positive PCR tests identified as the Omicron (sniffles minus) variant, the overwhelming majority are jabbed.

Which also jibes with the repeated anecdotes of "I'm triple jabbed, but just got covid".

Yes, that is a great half-truth. The rest is that the nonvaccinated tend to show much more of other variants.

That's bollocks, natural immunity is broad spectrum. It's the jabs that only give you a weak response to Alpha, which is now obsolete, having been displaced first by Delta, and now gradually by Omicron.

No, they don't.  When a particular strain becomes dominant, it's because it has outcompeted all the other strains which fall by the wayside.  Same reason why, come March-ish, COVID will be displaced by rhinovirus as the primary respiratory virus in circulation when it outcompetes flu, adenovirus, PIV, and coronaviruses.

Incredible that there are people dumb enough to believe that two jabs and they'd go back to normal. Whilst you mugs are getting your "boosters", you'd better be ready for jab number four: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/12/22/britain-consider-fourth-covid-vaccination-israel-germany-press/

Which will be followed by five, and six - are you getting it yet? It's a never-ending carousel, just as having had none I'll never be "fully vaccinated", neither will you no matter how many you've had.

Welcome to Immunity as a Service (which doesn't actually work, but they don't care because you're a subscriber). And if that wasn't funny enough, I've seen one article today saying the jabs don't provide any protection for the first two weeks, and another one that the "protection" wanes after six. Welcome to 9 jabs a year!

No one has mentioned yet how Omicron is yet another byproduct of gain-of-function research?

Oh noes, I will suffer mild arm pain every year just like the flu shot, whatever will I do?

Ignorance is bliss. Good luck with your cumulative damage.

And it won't be "every year", it'll be every season. You're prepared for 4 covid shots a year, every year until you die, right?

Strictly speaking, the data on the image is on the link. There is an Excel download at that link, and there is data on tab 1b that spreadsheet which corresponds to the image. Here's the link written out:

https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/conditionsanddiseases/adhocs/14107coronaviruscovid19infectionsurveyukcharacteristicsrelatedtohavinganomicroncompatibleresultinthosewhotestpositiveforcovid19

I don't have the full context to interpret that data, though -- notably, what are the characteristics of the sample. The conclusion in the "Results" tab of the spreadsheet says:

QuoteVaccination status: Those who have received three doses of a vaccine and test positive for COVID-19 are more likely to be infected with infections compatible with the Omicron variant compared with those who are unvaccinated, though individuals who had received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine continued to be less likely to test positive for COVID-19, regardless of variant. It is too early to draw conclusions from our data on the effectiveness of vaccines against the Omicron variant.

Don't threaten me with a good time. Where I live the official policy is minimum 5 months maximum 6 months. Shortening that to four months would be wonderful. I have pretty much a 0% chance of dying or having anything serious happen but am pretty serious about long distance trail running and even a small reduction in lung capacity would be horrible.

Why you would think I'd be such a pussy to cry about a needle and a bit of arm soreness I don't understand.
