I thought that the below pic, lifted from an ABC Covid update website, was funny
Funny in respect, that some people think that having no protection against a virus, will protect them

Equally as funny as protected people thinking that the unprotected people are a danger to them.

I don't get it. That's not funny because the virus can still mutate in unprotected people into a variant that is immune to the current vaccines. That's why the epidemiologists are suggesting that the rich countries should vaccinate the poorer countries before giving booster shots to their own citizens.

They are. Unvaccinated people carry far higher viral loads in their throat and nasal passages.

why do you think unprotected people (assuming you mean unvaccinated ) are not a danger to the protected (assuming vaccinated )
i hope if someone you know has an accident or illness, that the bed in the hospital that could have save their life wasn't occupied by someone suffering from covid ,who decided not to get vaccinated !

Well for a starter they do not mix contagious people in the general wards so the person in the next bed would NOT be affected.
The fear of overwhelming our hospitals didnt materialise pre vaccines so why should it happen post vaccines?
Particularly considering that the Delta variant, while apparently more contagious is nowhere near as deadly?
Now if you did any sort of research for yourself you would realise that there is no evidence to support the political spin that the virus is somehow diminished in its capacity in a vaccinated person.
I have read a lot of medical reports and have never seen that claim, however I have heard the authorities espousing that and using it as another tool for their fear mongering.
Theyre just making this up as they go along and sadly many are believing it without question.
I would be happy for you to correct me on this from a reputable source, and please dont quote the morons on TV who have been forecasting one disaster after the other which have never come to fruition.
My apologies to all as I understand that this is not the place to discuss these issues considering this is for jokes only.

I f you look at what happen overseas with bodies stored in freezer trucks an buried in mass graves, the the hospitals full no beds available, they where all full, had to make temporary hospitals in tents. we haven't had that happen here because we have had lockdown after lock down, to minimize the spread.
yes this is the joke section you should think about where you post some comments. when we open up we may still have some sad times to come i hope it doesn't get to the point that someone has to decide who lives an who dies due to the lack of resources

Oh diddums, what have you been reading? Just do a search on the New Scientist website for 'Delta variant' and you will see many articles debunking what you have just posted. Most of the articles have the links to the peer reviewed publication by epidemiologists and other experts in the field.
