It was “pushed” as lowering your chances of catching it, and thereby spreading it. And it still does!

We do this every time with French elections - never happens.

Bear with me on this one. But if unvaccinated people get jabbed, or if unboosted people get the booster, it lowers your chances of getting and spreading Omicron.

Here’s another version of a similar chart: That’s a huge surge of old people deciding to get vaccinated in just the past week, after almost a year of holding out! All after the vaccine rules tightened up. I’m not here to argue about whether vaccine requirements are designed to ‘threaten...

So yeah, it happened to Leyton Orient in the pre-vaccine days of 2020 and they had to forfeit, but it seems like Covid rules have been added for this year’s tournament so I don’t think there’s gonna be an issue.

Did that happen earlier in the competition? Can’t say I follow it too closely… If there’s an opportunity to reschedule the game, then that’s always going to be the preferred option. With only four teams left and the final not until next month, there should be ample time to do so. It’s always...

Based on what? It seems like a pretty sensible decision to postpone the game judging by the scale of the outbreak at Liverpool. I don’t think there’s a huge urgency to play this first leg, so plenty of time to reschedule.

What makes you say that? There are still plenty of policy levers to pull around the world and they’re having a positive impact on the number of people getting vaccinated, including the most vulnerable. For example, this chart of vaccinations for the over-70s in Hong Kong - see if you can spot...

No, you started a thread specifically arguing that they shouldn’t complain about a pay freeze: Pay Freeze for Public Workers But tell us more about how you’re worried for their well-being

Nice to see you suddenly worried about NHS staff welfare after you spent 2020 slagging them off for protesting a pay freeze!

Never understood the perspex screens - surely they’re mostly useless?

Not that anyone’s delighted with no new signings in January (I think we’re looking a gift horse in the mouth), but hasn’t this current squad shown that it’s capable of being pretty damn good in this division? I wouldn’t mind seeing another 20 games personally.

What’s there to defend - the millions of lives it’s saved? Its ability to open up our economies again? The question marks are so insignificant in comparison they’re barely worth thinking about. Oh, two shots of the vaccine didn’t wipe out Covid overnight, boo hoo. Why focus on that when I can...

Really? What vaccines from history and what efficacy rates would impress you? Or is it 100% or nothing for you?

Don’t confuse getting lucky with Covid as evidence that you never needed the booster. You made a dumb decision and got away with it - I’m glad for you, but don’t expect to be lauded for it, and certainly don’t start lecturing others for “shitting themselves” as you continue to justify your own...

Yes, congratulations on walking around in a thunderstorm carrying a big sheet of metal and not being struck by lightning - you truly are the smartest of us all.

This ‘milder’ variant would have had this country on its knees in March 2020. You got away with a mild illness largely thanks to the two doses of the vaccine you got last year. Might not have even contracted it at all had you got the booster, but you were too busy publicly fretting over whether...

You’ve spent months fretting and whining about whether to get the booster - which you openly accept is “the best thing we could have asked for” - up until the point you ended up getting infected yourself. Why are you the one who suddenly gets to lecture people about shitting themselves?

Never even met her
