Omicron vaxxing
Here is a bit of research, instead of gossip:
(this is just one reliable source - from the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention)
“[The study] clearly shows that those who were unvaccinated had much higher rates of infection and death,” said Dr. Shobha Swaminathan, an associate professor and infectious diseases physician at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School.
In fact, she said unvaccinated people in the study had an almost 20-times higher risk of dying from COVID-19 than the fully vaccinated.
In a third study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers looked at data from more than 70,000 people who were tested for coronavirus infection.
Three doses provided more protection against symptomatic infection, compared with two doses or being unvaccinated, the authors found.
The CDC also published additional COVID-19 data last week on its website showing that in December, unvaccinated Americans 50 to 64 years old were 44 times more likely to be hospitalized compared to those who were fully vaccinated and received a third dose.
The hospitalization risk was 49 times higher for unvaccinated people 65 and older.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
