Iceland's COVID response shows gloomy future for Australia

With vaccination rates well above 80 per cent, Iceland has become a case study for the rest of the world. But the Delta strain is causing problems.

And yet politicans and so called health experts in Australia are saying the jabs _are_ the solution.

In Iceland we have a slogan " Ég Hlýði Víði "
It is a rhyme like in English " I Obey Mr. Jose "
Sounds like something that could only happen in N-Korea ...
Early on in this idoticization process i decided not to vaccinate.
And those who have decided to do so have been heavily under attack.
But i did buy a T-shirt with this slogan. Never going to wear it, im gonna frame it for the fun.
With time it could be very valuable.

"It's believed Iceland's high jab rates have helped limit hospitalisation and death": just a belief as in summer respiratory viruses are less dangerous.

Have you ever thought that the jab might be the problem. Just saying.

[tzwikiritzwikirairaai]

if 97% show no symptoms or only mild disease, then why are the hospitals overwhelmed?

[DR-cqsc]

What I don't understand is how one can know an individual is getting less sick with having the jab, versus if they didn't take it. How do they determine this?

Key phrase: "pandemic is here to stay".

Why has this to do with Australia? Iceland has one covid death so far. Most of the rest have mild to no effects. Theres a lot of cases but are their hospitals overwhelmed? It scares me when someone says the pandemic is here to stay.
