It's clear that this is bothering you. Appreciate your concern. But let me explain a few things of the event.

- at least 70% of the attendees was vaccinated, that I know of personally.
- there were 22 people gathered in an outdoor setting. At the time the restrictions allowed for 2000. When it rained we moved to a large indoor hall were social distancing was easily observed. The restrictions allowed for 750 indoors.
- nobody at the gathering had any symptons at all.
- yes we e-zolled. And when we shared the e-zoll, the mouthpieces were sanitised.
- it's been more than 2 weeks since the meet and nobody reported having Covid afterwards.

It was safer than the Panorama Squash Club where you hang out every Friday.
 
Anyone else had to put on their tinfoil hats today? ... Man that 5G vaccination is working well! ... The additional limb that sprouted from my nether region seems to be some kind of antennae, and is receiving pseudo random binary glitches from this thread;

 
Dude instead of just spamming links to shots of people from this thread in close proximity without masks, say what you want to say. Be direct instead of this some what wanky passive aggressive nonsense, it stimulates conversation in a more effective manner. Don't rely on others when trying to stir up controversy.
OK
I thought most intelligent people would get it.
This thread is hundreds of pages long, many people and especially one clown had plenty of derogatory things to say about covidiots as he calls them, antivaxxers, people not wearing masks and not following regulations.
Was just pointing out the hypocrisy.

I think most people were getting what you were saying, but I also think people should in general be direct so that they can have at worst an argument and at best a conversation. I disagreed with what @Intuthu Kagesi said in another thread, we were having a discussion untill someone started posting facetious memes and images implying that I didn't know what I was talking about (without any scientific factual back up on their part) and I ended up just leaving the thread. So whether you're right or wrong, personally I'd prefer it if you just straight up ask your question, so that at the end of the day some kind of discourse happens.
 
And since my interest in now piqued. So the meet in question was before omicron was a thing, majority vaxxed, small outdoor meet, precautions were taken in to account.

So guys organizing the next meet, since it's now pretty solid that 3 pfizer jabs are the best protection against omicron, then 2 jabs and previous infection. Is this going to have an effect on the meet and what kind of precautions do you think you guys will be taking?
 
Well just like your previous posts where you made up your own regulations, rules and figures, yet again you don't know my vaccine status. Thumb sucking as usual.

If I called you vacc status incorrect I apologise for that.

As for all my other posts, they are factual with references. Except for where I post my personal opinion.

If you have any further questions or opinions you, and anybody else, are welcome to drop me a pm.

Listen. I have a history here, some love me other hate me. You will see I have not made many posts the last year. Yes I like a good argument, but at least it should contain some logic. I don't get into arguments with my wife for a reason, there is no point. Yet one guy here I try to ignore for the same reason, but he keeps coming back for more. The problem is if I call out his BS I will be the one getting a warning. So I just post general links and observations and see how they play the man:rofl:

You just made this up? Did you do any checks or asked for Vaccination proof?
But ok lets use your figures.
What does 70% mean? If you don't beat your wife 70% of the time, does that make you right?
And give us a link to where it say vaccinated people have different rules and regulations as to unvaccinated

- there were 22 people gathered in an outdoor setting. At the time the restrictions allowed for 2000. When it rained we moved to a large indoor hall were social distancing was easily observed. The restrictions allowed for 750 indoors.

With all these sidestepping can you please give a link to where it says you don't have to wear a mask at gatherings.

s.
- nobody at the gathering had any symptons at all.
So you are a doctor and had all the equipment to test them with you?
You also implying only people with obvious symptons can have the virus?
All the people from SA on planes to other countries that tested positive, did not go through any scans or even tests before leaving?

- yes we e-zolled. And when we shared the e-zoll, the mouthpieces were sanitised.
.
Well you did just make up everything else so far, so just keep on rolling.

- it's been more than 2 weeks since the meet and nobody reported having Covid afterwards.
.
Yes its like shooting a gun into the air in town and say look. I am a genius, I did not hit anyone, lets do it again.

As I said, feel free to drop me a pm. I'm not going to entertain this any further in the open forum.

I had the pleasure of dealing with an anti-vaxxer this morning and in a moment of weakness got sucked into an argument about the jab. 10 minutes and lots of brain cells later I couldn't do it anymore.

You cannot reason with them. At all.

Jordan Klepper is brilliant when it come to talking to 'pseudoscience believers'. He perfected the art of the comeback question.



 
The South African Health Products Authority (Sahpra) has approved the use of a third booster dose of Pfizer’s Comirnaty Covid-19 vaccine for most of South Africa’s population.

This comes after Sahpra received an application on 17 November 2021 from Pfizer to amend the dosing schedule for the Comirnaty Covid-19 vaccine, allowing an optional third dose.

After evaluating data submitted by the company, Sahpra approved the third dose in individuals aged 18 years and older to be administered at least six months after the second dose.

So my guys at my office today told me that they don’t have to wear masks because the councillors in their area have told them the the covid numbers are going down and it’s going away :eek:
 
Never in the history of mankind have we reached a stage where we agree with each other. There is no need to call each other dumb because of our beliefs, we are dumb because we are human.

At one end of the spectrum we had Mother Theresa ..... the other Ted Bundy. Yet both of these folks have been aggrandized and vilified. Now the battle rages between vaxxers and anti vaxxers, both of whom believe that they are right. In this instance I choose apathetic and will choose my own path and actions.
 
I don't really care, get it or don't makes no difference to me. Both sides are entertaining.
