Shell….. the quote got mixed up in your last posting… instead of replying to Geoff… it looks like Lastnail wrote what Geoff wrote… I had to go back and forth to work it out as it seemed odd
Thank you Lols. I see now what I've done. I quoted from a quote. I won't make that mistake again. My apologies to Sir Lastnail. These quotes were from AusGeoff, NOT from Sir Lastnail.
I caught this. No probs.
The only thing I'll query on your detailed response Shell is this...
Quote:I have no idea what these results from another country have to do with Australia. You're becoming just a victim of your own confirmation bias. You keep ignoring the obvious elephant in the room. Namely, that NO VACCINATED PERSON IS SUPPOSE TO DIE AT ALL!
It doesn't matter from which country I draw my COVID statistics from as long
as that country has a generally comparable population as far as society, wealth,
lifestyle, and medical facilities go. I'm thinking that was just a deflection by you?
So no, I don't accept that using US statistics is confirmation bias at all.
And of course—duh—no vaccinated person is "supposed" to die. (Why the CAPS?)
Which comment is disingenuous and totally misses the point.
According to figures I've posted multiple times here, unvaccinated people are
up to eight time more likely to die of COVID than vaccinated people. And that's
really the end of the story.
The chances of being in an ICU bed in any given week if you’re unvaccinated
is 60 per 1 million people, compared with 8 per 1 million people who have two
or more doses of the vaccine. Image: Australian Academy of Science. Data

28 April 2022: I meant no disrespect. And I certainly could have worded my comments differently. The problem that I have, is that I also look at the daily deaths from/with Covid-19, and the number of cases in Australia. I also look at the demographics, the mortality rates, those vaccinated/unvaccinated, those with other comorbidities, and other related factors.
But what I am seeing is that the majority of people dying from this virus are those who are vaccinated. I'm not saying that being vaccinated or unvaccinated, is the causal link between dying from this virus and surviving. That is an unknowable. But, how do I reconcile what you are saying, with what I am seeing everyday?
Also, how is it possible in an over 90% vaccinated population, to have 8 times more vaccinated people dying from this virus? This would mean that for every 1 vaccinated person dying, 8 unvaccinated persons are dying from this virus. I just don't see this in Australia.
This is why I've asked you for relevance and context, when you use stats from other countries. I don't use stats from other countries unless their stats are relevant to my country. There are many factors to consider. including their climate, density, weather, geography, seasonal differences, demographics, and many other factors that must be clear. So quoting stats from other countries, without context or relevance, does matter.
Tell me something? If there was no world media coverage about this virus at all, and given all the same stats(minus lockdowns and restrictions), how would your life have changed in any way? What events would've made you think that there was a pandemic going on? Would you have noticed something that was out of the ordinary? I'm just curious.
Again, I meant no disrespect.
