NowhereMan313
Yeah, the vaccine has a few months left to kill 11,997 people to hit the yearly average. Quite the game of catch-up.
didyouseewhatgodjustdidtousman
If you phrase it like that it makes sense. But to to compare the “safety” of one to the other is statistical silliness.
ThePunishersVengefulBrother
I think if the number of stairs is factored in, it's more of a parity.
NowhereMan313
I also didn't count anything other than fall deaths, such as injury or heart attacks induced by excessive stair-climbing.
ThePunishersVengefulBrother
If you count injuries, you'd have to count vaccine side-effect illnesses.
creamyt
I fully encourage people take the vaccine, but this isn't a good comparison. You have to compare rates of usage / deaths, not total deaths.
gimmehope
Everybody on the planet closer then 1.5 meter to each other vs people who have to take stairs? My English and math is worst since vaccine ..
creamyt
Obviously that data isn't there. You could say if everyone walked up/down X flights of stairs per day for a year vs the vaccine.
creamyt
OK I posted some math that was totally incorrect, lemme redo this...
creamyt
20 str flights/day: 12k / (360m * 30 * 365) = 0.0000005% of dying per flight. Vaccines, 3/241m = 0.000001% per full vaccination. So...

We ought to be sending out the national guard. They can carry a syringe and a gun. Your "personal choice" is which one gives you the shot.

Six weeks after they started closing down vaccine sites due to lack of interest I stopped wearing a mask. Fuck them.

It’s not showing anyone anything. It’s me stopping my worries for people who don’t give a shit about others.

I get the thought process; we're still under mask orders here in ON, but I will likely continue to wear afterwards, esp. during flu season

I got vaccinated the first day I could and continued to always wear a mask. Once the sites started closing down I counted six weeks (bc if >

you got the vax on the last “full” day, you had six more weeks until you were fully vaxx’d). That way, I protected everyone who gave a shit.

…but those who couldn’t be bothered to get vaxx’d? Fuck them. I stand by it.

Delta variant is killing vaccinated elders 50+. It's Gonna mutate again until we need a new vaccine. Only option is to Stop the spread!

Indeed it is. Elaborating: Of course if a store has a sign up I’ll wear a mask, or if anyone asks me to. But in my county (30% vaxx’d) if >

You have to know that those antivax people will get someone else sick. I wear a mask for the people antivaxers might get sick
truthsmiles
Of course I wear a mask if it’s policy, but you’d have to convince me that I (fully vaxx’d) pose any real danger to anyone. And obviously >

I get that there are still people saying vaccinated should wear masks, but I’d like to see evidence showing vaccinated spread Covid.

I don't know if it's policy here right now. I wear it to keep from killing people. What's wrong with you?
