Maybe I'm just ignorant because I don't follow the news but what's so bad about being vaccinated and getting Covid? I've known several vaccinated people who got Covid and got over it in a couple days. It's just like getting the flu or whatever. Very dangerous for those unvaccinated but otherwise why are we still in a state of panic over this? I feel so lost in these discussions and can't trust the media until they are honest about numbers, dividing them between vaccinate and non-vaccinated.
Vaccines reduce the risk of serious illness, hospitalizations and death considerably. So if you are young and in top health - vaccines make the risk of covid very low. If you are older and/or have a pre-existing condition it can still be very dangerous because your risk was so high to begin with, the vax does not negate all of that risk. Flu still kills an awful lot of vaccinated elderly each year.
Also there are people who medically cannot be vaccinated - the immunosuppressed for example. Not to mention poorer countries who just cant get hold of vaccines.
As for the breakdown in figures you asked for - they are available if you look for them.
@bisonhero: difference is they didnt get a hundred bucks per postcard. Just like postcards, there is nothing to force you to listen to them being read, I know I will not.
It isnt something they invented either, lots of patreons do it. It is a decent revenue stream.
Did they actually say bombcast is on hiatus? I know videos are but they have advertising deals in place - I expect the bombcast to continue as normal. Unlike the beastcast, they are only one man down.
