Read the article, then respond. #1 you don't know everyone who worked on it, and #2 the entire point of the article is this is WAY lower than their prevaccinated days in January.


I'm not arguing wether the vaccine keeps some people out of the hospital, I've read the article broski. The article points out what some Israeli doctors are seeing; to quote one "80-90% of my covid cases are 100% vaccinated". This vaccine is coming up short and is probably causing more harm than good in the long run; we're heading into an endemic cycle. Everyone (each company) that has worked on mRNA vaccines in the last 10 years+ are facing the same ethical dilemma, as all of the compounds have not been approved for human use. Just saying what the virologist tells me. Go nuts with your vaccine ingestion (I don't care what you do one way or the other), but I would stay with Sputnik or the Sino vaccines especially if you have a history of blood clots or genetic predisposition to heart conditions.

You seem to think this is bad or something? As the vaccine rate increases of course more patients will be vaccinated. If the vaccine rate was 100% then 100% of people seen would be vaccinated!

The number of people being hospitalised has decreased hugely though.

Well this isn't true at all.

I don't know much about the Sino vaccine, but Sputnik is a adenovirus-based vaccine (the same as AstraZeneca). It probably has the same blood clotting issues as AZ, but the places it has been deployed have much less robust post vaccine medical surveillance.

But it's good you'd take it! I'd encourage you to do so ASAP.


It is bad. When 80% of your hospitalizations (serious conditions) have gotten two jabs of the mRNA vaccine. Hospitalizations in my state are only increasing, and its not the un-vaccinated, it's those that believe being vaccinated means you no longer hold any risk with relation to spreading the virus.

The blood clots from AstraZeneca have not been thoroughly investigated - we don't know the pathways involved. By the way, the mRNA vaccines are producing many more blood clot calls into triage lines and offices than AZ (prolly because of slow rollout here).

Why would you encourage me to do something my body doesn't need?
