If nobody would find it frightening, why would anyone consider it to be "fear porn"?

He didnt say "nobody" did he?

He said anyone with half a functioning brain

Anyone scared at this point is a dumb **** eating up all the propaganda from the MSM

This post was brought to you by Pfizer.

the first omicron case in the uk was reproted at the end of november, and not much earlier than that in south africa. how could they accurately study reinfection so early?

also, who gives a fuk. 25k cases, 7 deaths

They used genotype and Ct data.

right, which gave them an estimate, as opposed to actually recording reinfection cases.

i'll be surprised if that number remains the same in the long term

Yeah, you'd need a case control study restricted to only those with confirmed prior infection.

There are always assumptions in the analysis. If we knew the true generative process, we wouldn't need models.

Nobody with half a functioning brain cell would find it frightening. Apparently that still leaves millions of people to support shutting things back down, cancelling Christmas, supporting more boosters, and screaming at everyone to “trust the science”.


For everyone with at least half a functioning brain cell we consider it fear porn because the aforementioned potatoes seem to get off on it despite the fact that it always ends up being inaccurate and grossly overblown hype.

Do you think there are millions of people on the Misc? If so, do you think most of them support those measures?The article doesn't discuss mandates, restrictions, or policies.

It cracks me up to see liberals invoke Christ when it’s apparent they have no idea what they’re talking about and when they don’t even believe the Scriptures themselves.

Liberals are irate that we are living our best lives. They’re irate we aren’t living in fear. They’re irate because we’ve called their bluff on the politicization of the virus despite them telling us it isn’t political. They’re irate we are getting the virus and not dying from it, which they’ll claim we are. Stay mad while we live our best lives.

You're asking me to post something from the article that you stated is not contained in the article. It's not a request that can be accommodated, but perhaps that's the goal?

gay OPs gonna gay OP

I don't think there are any liberals posting ITT. It does look like there are some irate folks though.

My thoughts, and they’re not scientific, are that if you support lockdowns, masks, forced vaccinations, and passports, you’re a liberal. Big government supported. I think the cities where they are imposing this are proof.

I can see your reasoning there, but it doesn't look like anyone ITT is supporting lockdowns, masks, forced vaccinations, or passports.

Five times zero is still zero dumbass

Like 2-3 days tops after cybertron variant entered Canada they were claiming 1/3rd of cases were omnicron already. ****ing how

It's right in your request:I posted a quote from the article (note quotation marks). The number for reinfection came from the article. I didn't calculate it.

Now you're demanding that I present a calculation that you wish to critique, but won't say what it is you want exactly?

If you know what you're looking for, then just post it here so we can all see and maybe get past the whole "guess my argument" game.

So your argument is that there is zero reinfection with either Delta or Omicron?

Negative

I'm thinking "guess my argument" might not be completely intellectually honest.

Nope.

But throwing unfounded accusations around is a good way to keep people angry.

“Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth”

dont worry the 4th booster will end it

Post the number you want to discuss

I don't have the data.

I finally reached my breaking point with this Omicron garbage and have accepted that some people are just embracing fear and stupidity.

Piles of evidence from around the world that it is equivalent to a cold and nothing to worry about. Yet everyone is freaking out about more cases (oh no, cases) and doing more restrictions, asking for lockdowns, pulling kids out of school, closing down things. Meanwhile, you try to point out what is actually happening and people don't want to hear it. Yes, cases are going to erupt. Yes, it's the same as a cold. Health care system is fine almost everywhere except in certain countries where Delta may still be in the mix. Vaccines have also diminished severity significantly.

The only reason I'm taking precautions this week is because I'm spending Christmas with two 90 year olds who even with a cold might be in serious trouble. So I do what's responsible to make sure they are definitely okay and don't have a chance to catch it. Then I'll go back to living my life. These idiots wearing supermasks and begging for businesses to be closed can jump in a fire.

inb4 "but that study isn't legit and mine is"

I don't have the requisite data to pool the 4 vaccine/dosing estimates. We have point estimates and CI's, we need the raw data to carry the variance forward through pooling.

We could kind of treat the vaccine/dosing estimates as separate studies and do a pseudo meta-analysis, but that's a hack leaving a lot to be desired.

I haven't seen "piles of evidence" yet, but I totally get where you're coming from.

Nobody said that when we discussed this study a few pages back.

Let's hope what they posit/suggest ("may be an indicator of lower disease severity") is true.
