Article goes out of its way to avoid saying what's actually in the song or video.

there is a Twitter video linked. it's truly nonsense and in glad it was banned tbh. he says the pandemic was planned and COVID vaccine didn't work amongst other misinformation

Not sure where you're getting your data but here's some data for you: http://www.bccdc.ca/Health-Info-Site/Documents/COVID_sitrep/... Over the past month, fully vaccinated individuals accounted for 29% of cases and 19% of hospitalizations (In British Columbia, Canada). We have ~75% of the population vaccinated. So 25% of the people account for 71% of the cases and the case rate amongst vaccinated is significantly low…

You're looking at presented cases and hospitalizations - a fraction of a fraction of total covid infections. There's no way this accurately reflects R0 (assuming that's what you're talking about - sorry if I'm wrong!). And determining the impact vaccines have on R0 is nearly impossible - there's too many unknown unknowns that would confound it. For example, if a flu vaccine was administered at the end of a seasonal p…

We don’t actually care about infections, we care about the things infections cause. A single virus infecting a single cell is an infection, what happens after that depends on the immune system. Antibodies are supposed to stick around briefly after an infection to minimize the risks of reinfection. For near lifetime immunity as provided by the measles vaccine it comes down to memory B cells which drastically speed up the adaptive immune response. Thus reducing the period an infection is contagious and reducing the risks of severe infection.

Note, the above applies both to natural infections and vaccination. Also note many childhood vaccinations are effective for decades.

> Pandemic ain't real, they just planned it probably that part?

In what oppressed world should you not be able to say that.

They're more than allowed to say it, YouTube is equally allowed to not repeat it.

> they aren't preventing the spread. > less likely to infect their close contacts than are unvaccinated people with Delta I don't see these as contradictory. Vaccines are more effective against transmissions, yet vaccines don't slow down transmissions in a significative way. As per the article: > Unfortunately, the vaccine’s beneficial effect on Delta transmission waned to almost negligible levels over time. In peopl…

The study contradicts his assumptions so he is unable to take this new information and update preexisting beliefs. Or he didn't read the new study. A bunch of people are living in denial.

It seems you are using a tactic of obfuscation and confusion to derail the conversation.

Seems like you’ve successfully done just that.

When I advertise to consumers, it is not important to me that they believe vaccination against COVID-19 is good or not. I really struggle to think of any company for which it is important that their customers are not sceptical of vaccinations? Maybe airlines and hotels. Since I can’t see how any company would want to reject customers for making certain decisions about their health or not, it appears to me that it rat…

I really struggle to think of any company for which it is important that their customers are not sceptical of vaccinations? So you've never heard of the entire healthcare industry? Aside from healthcare, every company of a reasonable size wants people to get vaccinated so that the supply chain can be repaired and they can go back to selling things the way they used to.

This is a really funny take on the supply chain problems. I guess it's always fun to blame the deplorables, but you might want to read about what the actual problems with the supply chain are, including on the front page of HN.

No, you're wrong. Vaccinations slow the spread, they don't stop them.

I'm sorry you struggle this way with casual english

I'm sorry you're resorting to insults when the facts don't support your argument?

I think that's changing as challenging the vaccine efficacy or risk profile has become less controversial in the last month. Been sent about half a dozen videos in last week with high viewership and they haven't been removed. This is probably because all of Northern Europe has essentially banned Moderna due to myocarditis risk, and data from many countries, even the CDC's own, show the vaccinated now getting infected…

In regards to covid-19 in particular:

have you never heard of conflict of interest and availability bias? also, reasonable people understand that vaccines aren't the limiting factor to supply chains or business, it's politics.

Youtube doesn't care. It can't have antivax stuff on their platform because advertisers don't want their ads on controversial content.

Brand owners don't want their brands next to conspiracy theories in the same way they don't want their brands next to pornography.
