How is this with so many people being vaccinated? Are most hospitalized not vaccinated?
Please see the 84,000 thread by knee block. Yes, a great majority disproportionate higher number of the hospitalized are unvaccinated. Vaccination provide some protection against hospitalization but not as much as those with a booster shot. Luckily omicron tends to be more mild than Delta or Wuhan strains, but also vaccination is less effective.

More people now have novel Coronavirus at the same time than before. So even though there's a much smaller percentage of people going into the hospital with omicron versus Delta, the case load is going to be insanely high and with it that will lead to high hospitalizations even if it's low percentages of the total.


Edit - for accuracy.

Going full Godwin with the Nazi comparisons is pathetic. A friend posted the other day that even Hitler didn't have vaccination requirements (implying Nazi Germany was better than Australia). I had to point out that he did, however, kill six million Jews.
He’s directly responsible for 60-80 million deaths

not a cool guy

" You really ought to consider following Hitler's position on these vaccine mandates" is such a strange position to try to make a point.

Sheepdog @Former Maycee Barber Fan @John Lee Pettimore this is a terrible look for the government of Australia imo:


You create rules for entry for foreign nationals. One of them allows medical exemptions to the vaccination requirement. Decisions on exemptions are made by an independent medical body.

Djokovic gets such an exemption. Reason not made public bc of privacy laws, obviously.

People get upset so the leader of the country seemingly reneges on the already granted exemption but only after Djokovic takes a cunt of a flight to Australia.

Make rules/laws and stick to them. Shit makes you look like a banana republic.
It is a massive shitshow.

The anti-Djokovic reaction in particular is hysterical. I hate anti-vaxxers too, but people here are talking about him as if he is some sort of terrorist just because some cunts said he could come and then backtracked on it due to public pressure.

If they officially told him he could come, which it looks like they did, then I think he should be allowed to stay. He's had Omicron and is therefore not a risk to public health - and we're fucked anyway. And there is a good chance the judge is going to agree.

I'm just glad to see you back. We were worried sick.

"California governor Gavin Newsom has picked up on the new trend and doubled down with a new requirement that all Californians be forcibly infected by a legion of transients. The new program is expected to create millions of jobs."
