Nope. The vaccinated are much less likely to become infected, and less likely to infect others. Either you don’t understand that (even though the statistics have been posted here many times), or you are a troll. I don’t understand how a troll thinks they are helping anyone.

“I am tired of this epidemic, it’s been 2 years already, so I will keep the epidemic going by not vaccinating”.

….or people could vaccinate. Easy choice.

I can imagine you during World War 2: “it’s been 3 years and we are still fighting the Germans. They don’t seem to be giving up, so we might as well learn to live with them”. The virus is relentless, it will take advantage of stupid people who don’t vaccinate, first by killing as many of them as possible, and by using their bodies as hosts for mutations. if you are tired of the plague, encourage as many to vaccinate - that is the key to ending the virus.

And then the virus morphs again into a variant that is both more lethal and more infectious. Build more hospitals and create more doctors is not a viable solution.

Okay, it’s your night for stupid questions. The greater the exposure to the virus, the greater the chance of infection. Those who are vaccinated are less likely to be vaccinated, but they are still at risk. And yes, there are still deadender doctors and nurses who don’t vaccinate.

You are posting an old tired cliche. The vaccinated are far less likely to be infected, and when infected, have a much shorter infectious period. You are doing your best to avoid reality: vaccination saves lives.

Wow, you really don’t understand probabilities, do you? Almost a million dead from Covid in the US now. If you can reduce your risk of joining them by getting vaccinated, I would suggest you do so.

Your wrath should be directed at those idiots who are keeping the virus alive by not vaccinating.

I guess you are not paying attention to current events. The world is suffering the worst plague in 100 years. The more people who vaccinate, the greater the chance to end the epidemic before the virus mutates again, this time into a more lethal form. You can help stop this plague by vaccinating.

At much lower probability levels.

Wow, you are doing your best to disprove your claim about your intelligence. If some unvaccinated superspreader gets close enough to me, yeah, probably not wearing a face mask, I am liable to be infected, despite my vaccinations. The difference is that I am less likely to be infected than you, and much less likely to die than you. Despite your alleged high IQ, if you choose not to get vaccinated, and die from a Covid infection, that would be pretty much the height of stupidity.

Ignorance must be bliss. Omicron is sufficiently infectious that an older vaccinated person can still be infected by an unvaccinated superspreader. Omicron is also sufficiently infectious that you may find yourself in line for a Herman Cain Award. Thousands of people who thought they could beat Covid have now received their HCA.

Of course there ARE consequences for unvaccinateds under 50, at best, they can infect many others, some becoming superspreaders. The unvaccinated under-50 types are keeping the pandemic alive.

So, you only care about surviving Covid, you don’t care about getting infected, not knowing because you are asymptomatic, and infecting others. Nice.

The issue on the table is not the competence of Thai physicians, but your opinion that you are more knowledgeable concerning the field of immunology than the world’s leading experts, who are nearly unanimous in recommending that you vaccinate.

Your risk profile is that you are significantly at risk for winning a Herman Cain award.

It is common for Covid deniers and anti-vaxxers to sow doubt by questioning various statistics about Covid. Or by discussing questionable clinical trials. The deniers and anti-vaxxers are fed by a misinformation network that constantly produces material for their victims to post on social media. They are not stupid enough to spread the message that vaccines don’t work, but rather to attack around the edges, focusing on posting misleading quotes or poorly conducted clinical trials. this misinformation network is based on the Climate Change Denier lie factory, which has pretty much closed up shop and refocused on Covid.

Paradoxically, hospital occupancy is down to 73,000.

Stubby’s post questioned the accuracy of a report about vaccine efficacy. He neglected the flip side of his objections, what is the efficacy of remaining unvaccinated? Since the unvaccinated die at a rate some 50 times more than those with boosters, a rational person would opt for full vaccination.

During October–November, unvaccinated persons had 13.9 and 53.2 times the risks for infection and COVID-19–associated death, respectively, compared with fully vaccinated persons who received booster doses, and 4.0 and 12.7 times the risks compared with fully vaccinated persons without booster doses.

Those are old quotes, based on the problem that there are a lot of worthless clinical trials. The scientific community weeds out bad clinical trials, like the early studies of Ivermectin as a treatment for Covid.

Get vaccinated. There is no serious disagreement among scientists about the importance of vaccines in saving lives.

You are missing the forest for the trees. If you don't want to die from Covid, get vaccinated, early and often.

Since you invoked the flu earlier, what percent of flu mortality is due to co-morbidities? Don't worry, your internet friends will never give you that data, so you can't answer.
