You preach discussion and bitch about insults and then do this? Your complaints ring hollow when you put your own values aside.

Comedic disruption. Purposefully running the asinine lingua franca into the ground to demonstrate the futility and hilarity of said lingua franca.

I'll make sure to run my hairbrain heat of the moment ideas by you next time, mmkay? You can be my conscience, helping me live up to the standards that you believe I should be held to.

Don't get snippy at me for calling you out.

Nah man, we're cool. Thank you for pointing out this specific issue. I will work to do better to not be affected by or respond to indecent behavior in the future.

Did you secure the bag for the new job yet?

 

[LouderVol]

It should be mandatory...

Unless it's a situation where other vaccinations were required, what's the support for further mandates?

Life

 

[tpsdave]

But 99.9999999999999999999999 survival

Are YOU really sure about that??

 

[tpsdave]

Quite simple. It’s a virus with an extremely high survival rate. Yet if it indeed originated from a Wuhan lab leak and not of natural origin then millions world wide and 600k+ in the US still died. It isn’t a dichotomy dude

Thanks, professor...

 

[NorthDallas40]

Thanks, professor...

You’re welcome plebe.

[Jxn Vol]

Maybe it will be 97% survivable

 

[Orangeburst]

Would not surprise me the Delta was engineered to only affect the unvaccinated. Yes I am that cynical.
From my understanding this is the Indian variant and it did not even seem to be in the news during Alpha-Charlie.

 

[volinbham]

This is an interesting fact check -- assuming they are correct they are confirming that the death rate from the delta variant is less than 1%.

Inadvertently it is confirming the delta (or any known variant) isn't likely to cause a wave because most of the at risk people have been vaxxed.

So the question is should we treat the current Covid situation the way we treated it in 2020?

There is no evidence that the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 has a lower fatality rate than the wild-type virus

Conclusion
The CFR of the Delta variant is low for the general population, around 0.2%, but this may be because most of the population at a higher risk of dying from COVID-19 has been vaccinated in the U.K., which has reduced deaths caused by the disease. This also means that those who remain unvaccinated and unprotected are mainly people under 50 years old. The majority of Delta variant infections in the U.K. are occurring in this population, hence the CFR of the Delta variant mainly represents that of the population under 50 years old. Comparing the CFR of the Delta variant with that of the wild-type virus at a time before vaccines were available is misleading, since the former excludes most of the population over 50 years old, which has a higher CFR but is mostly vaccinated. In summary, there isn’t sufficient evidence that allows us to conclude that the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 is less lethal than the wild-type virus.

Okay people need to stop with the "if you don't choose the vaccine, you are choosing death" rhetoric. That is simply not true and "the science" tells us your chance of death (if contracting Covid) is 1-2% depending on your age and health.
I don't doubt her sincerity in believing people will die (she is correct) but her statement is at odds with facts.

Facts do not matter anymore. Science has been shot to hell. Fauci can’t throw a baseball or maintain a consistent message.

Folks on this board have been scared to death and keep posting their warnings and worries.

Best thing for everyone to do is go Live your life without fear.

I'm sure she's a fine doctor but claiming if you don't choose the vaccine you choose death is simply incorrect - it's hyperbole.

Every adult has had the opportunity to get the vaccine at this point. The majority of those who have yet to get it probably have no intention of getting it any time soon. I think everyone, physicians included, should accept that it's time to stop begging people and stop trying to scare people into getting the vaccine like Dr. O'Neal is doing here and others have done.

Let events unfold and, as with anything else in life, let people deal with the consequences of the choices they make, whether they be good or bad.

The vaccine or die rhetoric is really going to surprise @Vol Main who said this was never done

I'm get it coming from a hack like Beccera but a physician should know better.

 

[VolStrom]

Since none of my kids or grandkids have gotten the vaccine does this mean my entire family other than me is going to die from the..... dun dun dun "delta variant"?
