You know we like a bit of "sukkel" over here...
Think the aliens are here to get us!

Latest in the arsenal of Aunty Waxy's excuses....
China is sending billions of "vaccines" (aka poison) to Africa to reduce the population in order for them to reap all the natural resources in Africa....
Question: What resources are they getting out of the UK with 50k new cases recorded in a population greater than ours with a higher vaccination count as well?

Besides the fact that we don’t even have the China jab here.
Damn, @Adephi , you and your facts, that is not what I want to hear. Tell me what I want to hear! OK!
Damn!
After intensive fact checking I came to the conclusion that its Friday night.
It’s also December
That’s a scary illustration of just how bad it is

"Standard Bank employees working on the business premises will have to be vaccinated as the banking institution makes vaccines mandatory in its latest vaccination policy.
In a leaked internal communication sent to staff and seen by IOL, Standard Bank CEO, Sim Tshabalala announced the company’s new Covid-19 Vaccination Policy which will come into effect on April 4, 2022..."

I've seen a couple of scammers online lately. You pay them R850 and they will defend your case at the CCMA. Some of them aren't even lawyers.
To handle a case with the CCMA is free.
If the employer alowed you to do weekly testing, they gave you the alternative to the jab. They are under no obligation to pay for the test. It can however be negotiated pay some of it or accept the rapid antigen test. So the case will most likely get thrown out.
Alternatively, they can get the jab. It will make their lives so much easier.
An intersting graph from a paper that is still in preprint.
A big driver of omicron seems to be re-infections. So it can pass natural immunity. Still no concrete information about the effectiveness of the vaccine. But looking at hospital numbers so far, it's definitely helping.

If this is the usual "weekend" slump... oh my oh my I wonder what Mon/Tuesday holds...
The weekend slump is normally seen Monday/Tuesday. I think this might just be a little dip before it goes up again.
See the other provinces are starting to catch up.
Yup. We’re starting to play our part in KZN.
Looks like a recombination may have occurred.

"This genetic sequence does not appear in any earlier versions of the coronavirus, called SARS-CoV-2, but is ubiquitous in many other viruses including those that cause the common cold, and also in the human genome, researchers said. By inserting this particular snippet into itself, Omicron might be making itself look "more human," which would help it evade attack by the human immune system"

If they say: “5G spreads Covid-19.”
You say: “Viruses cannot travel on radio waves/mobile networks. Besides, Covid-19 is spreading in countries that do not have 5G mobile networks, so how does it get spread via 5G?”
If they say: “A microchip is inside the vaccine, tracking your every move.”
You say: “You posted about your cat minutes ago on Facebook and Instagram, Karen.”
If they say: “Why should I get it if everyone else is?”
You say: “The more people say this, the slimmer are our chances of achieving herd immunity. We need herd immunity for people who cannot get vaccinated. If you and thousands more are saying the same thing, babies and the elderly are going to be the ones suffering because of your selfishness.”
If they say: “It’s just a water. It’s not a real vaccine”
You say: “If it’s just water, you should have no problem taking it then.”
If they say: "I don't know what’s in the vaccine"
You say: “Well, you don’t know exactly what is in that burger but here we are. The vaccine contains weakened or inactive parts of the virus that will trigger an immune response within the body.”
If they say: “I am scared of side effects.”
Unlike the 5G and tracking chip arguments, this is a genuine and understandable concern. Explain that while one may experience mild to severe symptoms after being vaccinated, no one in South Africa has died from the vaccine. Explain that while the vaccine minimises your chances of death from Covid-19, by being vaccinated, you are protecting those who cannot be vaccinated.
What to remember when talking to sceptic or anti-vaxxer
It is important to note that just because a person is not vaccinated does not mean they are an anti-vaxxer. Maybe they are hesitant, maybe they have fears about side effects or maybe they just missed their appointment.
Know who you are talking to
First, it is important to understand where they are coming from. It might be more difficult to talk to anti-vaxxers, but others might just be hesitant or cautious. Knowing why they are not taking the vaccine will help you present your arguments better.
Try to be civil
Yes, it is infuriating to talk to someone who just called you a “sheeple” and “brainwashed”, but you don’t have stoop to their level. Be civil and present the facts to tackle misinformation.

I've heard the "I'm scared of the side-effects" a few times.
My reply:
"So you're scared of having a headache for a day or two? You'd rather be in ICU unable to breathe?"
