More than 50 people in Norway have been infected with Covid after a Christmas party that is likely to prove the world’s biggest outbreak of the new omicron variant.
One of them has tested positive for the omicron variant, and more cases are expected to follow, Oslo’s authorities said on Thursday.

That's a scary transmission level.

It really is tragic…
Imagine people comparing preventative medication and medical sanitary precautions with actions that ended up killing 60 million people and acts of genocide.

Trends are determined by an algorithm and, by default, are tailored for you based on who you follow, your interests, and your location. This algorithm identifies topics that are popular now, rather than topics that have been popular for a while or on a daily basis, to help you discover the hottest emerging topics of discussion on Twitter.

Re: Coronavirus
If I was a fully vaccinated person in country that had a poor vaccination rate and that country went in to lockdown because people decided they didn't want to the vaccine, I would be seething. Being selfish, why should I be locked down because others didn't want to get the vaccine.
The 2G rules Germany are bringing in seem an OK-ish compromise to me. Essential shopping and medical trips are still allowed

You’re protected, I’m protected, the vaccines protect the people getting vaccinated, if people choose not to be vaccinated, putting themselves at risk, that’s their choice and or loss, like the risk in catching other illnesses has been for eons, wtf ever happened to freedom of choice?
Totally against a two-tier society, so should you be.

I get what you're saying and to a degree i agree but freedom of choice doesn't mean freedom from consequence
an unvaccinated person isn't potentially just putting themselves at risk they're also putting
1. another person who's not vaccinated at risk. you could class this class this as karma i guess
2. someone who cannot have the vaccine for whatever medical reason, or who is severely immunocompromised at risk.

You are missing the parts where:
- the infected (unvaccinated) individuals can mix with others, significantly the vulnerable ones, and pass on an infection that could cause serious illness or death.
- the unvaccinated use up the small amount of spare capacity in the healthcare system causing knock on issues relating to NHS staff stress & burnout plus collateral bed-blocking damage
This issue not binary: how you might feel about mixing with someone who has Ebola differs to someone with a head cold. Covid is, of course, somewhere in the spectrum between the two.

People have actively decided to generate a two tier society by refusing vaccination.
I kind of get your point that it isn't my problem if people choose not to get vaccinated. However, that would only really stand if the unvaccinated who got sick were not a drain on the healthcare system.
