    Omicron is milder than delta but that does mean it is “mild” and remains in essence a disease of the lining of the blood vessels which means it can still do major damage throughout the body

    Benjamin Franklin didn't say that and it's a stupid saying to begin with.

    Everybody dies. How public health measures are enforced can indicate a police state.

    Not trying, - I compared them.

    Please take population size into consideration, and still learn that US has suffered MASSIVE casualties compared to countries like Australia,

    Deaths per million
    ==============
    Australia = 112
    USA = 2,950

    US figure is 25 times larger.

    Right. No matter how you spin it, US lost a LOT OF people, and some people behave like its no big deal.

    I never watch CNN, but you can provide a link if you want to discuss.

    'Some Republican woman'......:rolleyes:

    This seems a genuine discussion about ethics around vaccine discussion

    Maybe you didn't watch your own clip...... It's CNN talking about people who mock people who get Covid (like Ingram clapping her hands on FOX, or people mocking anti-vaxxers). How did that translate to CNN celebrating it?

    No it’s not. CNN headlined it so behind the scenes they can laugh at her death. Listen man, I was born at night, but I wasn’t born last night.

    Yes, it is. You should have watched it before posting it, because now you look as naive as someone born just last night.

    Its a thread about Australia, although you are working hard to make it about CNN

    You are making a false assumption. There is no evidence of “mocking” and in fact there is quite some effort put into stating how wrong the comments were on her social media page

    Nah! Just boring compared with America
    I am still fascinated as to why you attack each other instead of the politicians

    Typical Australian political discussion

    “That mob in parliament are real drongo bludgers. If brains were dynamite they couldnt blow their hats off their heads in a high wind”

    “Yeah I agree - most of those bastards are bastards but THOSE bastards are right bastards! “

    BTW this thread is actually about Australian politics

    Yet here you are, an American obsessing about Australian politics.
    Medice, cura te ipsum.

    Where in this thread did I mention anything about Australian politics?

    Irrelevant country that would literally beg for US military support if something ever kicked off because Lord knows they couldn’t do anything themselves.
