| Anti vax criminals on 19:38 - Jan 4 by Catullus | Yet by the percentages there are many more unvaccinated people being hospitalised and ending up in ICU with covid. Being young, fit and healthy isn't helping some people. Demographics have to be taken into account, SA is a younger country by average age. |
Younger by average but not by percentage of "life expectancy" which is very low in SA that is 60 for males and 65 for females. |  | |  |

No it is not, it is the age + morbidities. Their morbidites at 60 are the same as our morbities at 80, it kills both groups. So if you get COVID it will exploit or exaggerate the co-morbidities. You don't get to change the scientific evidence. |  | |  |

Yes but what the comorbidities are matters too. It doesn't change that SA is a younger country which is what doctors were saying, that we may find it's worse for us when it hits our older population. |  |

It's not. Age is the biggest factor in covid outcomes because of age related cormibities and age related immunosenescence. Any proof that a 60 year old South African has an equivalent level of health and immune system as a 80 year old UK citizen? We've been through this before, several times. I'm not changing anything. Look at the facts not some opinion you seem to have plucked out of thin air. The most common underlying health conditions associated with Covid death is Dementia. Even when other conditions that aren't always associated with age are considered (even though they usually are condiditons related to age) age is still the greatest risk factor. https://www.nature.com/article Some of the leading causes of death in South Africa are TB and HIV with "non natural" casues making up 12% of deaths. the populations are not in anyway comparable enough to consider impacts of covid. |  | |  |

So which are most likely to die, those with? 1 co-morbity 2 co-morbidities 3 co-morbidities 4 co-morbidities someone 80, healthy with no co-morbidities Dementia is the number one illness in old people, therefore when someone very old dies with COVID they are most likely to have dementia, but there is nothing to say that the dementia actually contributed to the death, whereas heart, lung, liver, hypertension, diabetes and immune system illnesses will. |  | |  |

Are you still saying it is safe to catch the virus when over 1% of people will die from it? Or is it safer to be vaccinated and reduce your chances of catching it, ending up in hospital, in ICU and dying. |  |

It's complete bull and diversion. Age is by far the biggest risk factor and the reason vaccine efficacy is much lower in older populations.

You stupid man. What do you think an infectious disease is if not including TB? I also see disease of the blood and immune system, although of course HIV patients don't actually die of HIV, they die because they're immune system is destroyed. Having a life expectancy of 60, doesn't mean everyone dies at 60 mind just that a higher proportion die younger. If their aging process and comorbities were the same as ours but speeded up as you're alluding to then you'd see the same pattern of cause of death. Nearly as many people appear to die of heat disease as TB and malaria in South Africa. The entire society and culture is different and not remotely comparable. Just 10% of people die from cancer in South Africa, again a disease associated with aging, there are 3 different cancers in our highest 10 causes of death. 12% of people in South Africa die of unnatural causes. I bet that's less than 1% in the UK. Covid has less impact because there are less older people, there are less people with comorbidities too for the same reason. They've died before they develop them. |  | |  |

TB, Malaria and Salmonella are amongst the main causes of death in HIV in Sub Saharan Africa. The inability to mount a cellular immune response leaves the affected wide open to these secondary infections. |  | |  |

So why on earth vaccinate everyone willing over the age of 12? Why not stick to the elderly and those on immunosuppressant drugs? Vaccination of the under 50s seems insane and looking at the infection rates today in the UK (200,000) and France (380,000) - the highest in the history of this pandemic just bears it out. The vaccinated are passing it round like confetti between themselves! |  |

Vaccinations are not insane, they reduce the risk of catching the virus, the risk of spreading the virus, the risk of ending up in hospital, the risk of dying. The only truly insane thing is not to get vaccinated catch the virus and ending up with a country in permanent lockdown. |  |

They don't do anything that medicine cannot do. They were sold as the "way to end the pandemic", instead they are prolonging the pandemic, because every single one of them can still catch it and spread it. They were warned that is what would happen with leaky vaccines and didn't listen. Even the UK's so called experts now agree we can't vaccinate our way out the pandemic. |  | |  |

You keep repeating your little mantra - it’s obviously a comfort blanket to you. As regards the vaccinations - let’s see how your health goes in the next 3 to 5years. Then we will see who’s insane. Don’t forget - first it was one dose . Then for full protection it became two. Now it’s three here and the efficacy seems to be getting shorter as the days unfold. Soon it will be four then five. What are they doing to your immune system ? All those spike proteins being mass produced inside you? Life isn’t just about the next 8 weeks - it could be another 10 - 60 years depending on your current age. It’s all well and good saying the vaccine will protect you from Covid (but not very much though in truth does it) when the flu may come along in two years time and kill you because your immune system is so compromised you can’t fight it off. |  |

That's not true though is it?. There is serious disease in the younger population-record levels of Children admitted with Covid this week. The vaccines still reduce transmission, but you seem unable to fathom this. In fact, in most infections we would be lauding the efficacy against transmission as well as the undoubted disease reduction. The unvaccinated population is most at risk, the more likely to transmit disease and foster emergence of new variants. |  | |  |
