All the answers to your "questions" are in this thread. You obviously don't like them - which is why we keep getting all the straw man "questions". It's what you're done the whole thread. I suggest a new strategy.

I don’t know what they are because you don’t say when asked directly. How can I not like them if I don’t know what they are.

All I want to know is your view and reason for posting a table showing hospital admissions for children that are unvaccinated. It’s really not that hard

Why would you want to do that, when you can listen to a load of people on the internet, with barely a BTEC between them, who are obviously experts.

From the BBC. Is it just another cold or flu? Doesn’t read so to me. And these figures would have been much worse without lockdowns, vaccinations, masks etc.

According to the Office for National Statistics, approximately 665,000 deaths were registered in the UK in 2021.

That is nearly 25,000 fewer than the year before, but still about 10% higher than the average seen in the five years before the pandemic.

That “excess” of deaths was the second highest figure since World War Two (after 2020).

Comparing last year’s figures to the five years before the pandemic takes account of the changes in population size, age and healthcare that would otherwise make it impossible to compare the raw numbers from the 2020s with those from, say, the 1970s.

The last two years have been exceptional by historical standards. Death rates normally fall over time, so any increase is unusual, but this change does not return us to the death rates of WW2.

During this pandemic i have carried around a pocket full of large quartz crystals, and pieces of obsidian a type of glass like lava to protect me...

I throw them at Anti-Vaxxers...

I don’t think anyone would argue that COVID has been a simple cold (conspiracy theorists excepted). But it will become a normal winter illness to manage. That’s just how these things work.

With regards to when it’s officially become endemic, I use Nicola Sturgeon as my measuring tool. She’s anti-UK and anti-Boris, and she’s been dead against the speed at which we’re opening up and dropping restrictions. The fact that she’s just announced that Scots should accept it’s becoming endemic suggests to me it’s pretty much done and dusted and we’re all moving on. I’m sure it has nothing to do with the Six Nations, whatever that is.

Hopefully this season will go nice and smoothly now, but respectfully towards those who are still anxious.
