There've been some ignorant posts in this thread, but this takes the cake. I'd sit this one out, you clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

Disagree completely. Once you start dumping players whenever they hit a speed bump you start having trouble keeping players or attracting new ones. If we want the players to give their all in playing for the club and each other, that has to go two ways. Just as players can't decide "when to go"...

They may only get diagnosed later in life, but ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder, i.e., present from birth. Though the vast majority of people who have ADHD are undiagnosed (around 80%).

Delusional. Just because his name hasn't been splashed all over the newspapers it doesn't mean he's been doing "fine". Though, even if he has, for someone with ADHD the costs and effort of doing so can be unsustainable, especially over the longer term.

The club have been pretty transparent about all this (to the extent that it's possible while respecting his privacy) and have been upfront about calling out his shortcomings when required. So when they say, "he's being supported through a private health matter", he's being supported through a...

Just because it doesn't fit your agenda doesn't mean it's BS.

Which was the right thing to do. Once you start dumping players whenever they have problems not only will no-one want to come, others will want to leave. That "culture" that you're so dismissive of is what attracts players like Lever and May to the club while keeping Trac, Pickett etc.

Did he actually say that? I thought he spoke in more general terms about protection etc, which plenty of people then interpreted as "you won't get it". Equally, in the early days there was so little data it was all bit of a moving target. Easy to be right in hindsight.

Dees supporter, sorry to intrude. Handy pickup, very happy for Oscar. He has good football smarts, reads the ball well in the air and is a useful kick for a KP player. Also a good bloke and teammate. Has his limitations (mainly speed), but can run all day. For the last few years his career has...

Wonder why that is. After all, what would an AFL head coach know?

With all due respect, that's not true of the Dees: our backline has been decimated this year. From our GF team, only May and Bowey have played from Round 1. Rivers came back in last week (but is underdone), and we're still missing Hibberd, Petty and in particular, Lever and Salem. Anyway, hope...

Unfortunately true.

Not sure what organic food is doing in that little list of off-with-the-fairies.

Meanwhile ... Premier League announces record 103 new positive Covid-19 cases Fifteen top-flight matches postponed after December outbreaks https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/dec/27/premier-league-announces-record-103-new-positive-covid-19-cases

Yes we know, and there are more than 2 studies. Also, in regards to Covid, all immunity is "natural" immunity - it's your body's immune system doing the work, no matter how it learnt to do so (vaccination or prior infection).

Overall, immunity is both more effective and more predictable/controlled from vaccines. Not to mention, with Covid infection you run the risk of serious health issues from Covid itself, regardless of the variant. "It's not as bad as Delta" is a pretty low bar.

I'd be very careful about the "lot less disease" part. Too early to tell, and there are enough reports out there that it's only marginally less harmful than Delta to raise real concern. The "Omicron is mild" discourse suits governments and individuals who are opposed to restrictions of any...

There are any numbers of measures short of complete lockdown. e.g., Australia badly needs a health pass (whatever you call it) to keep the unvaccinated away from everyone else. Also, an agressive policy on boosters.

Given the extent and virulence of the outbreak in NSW, an act of lunacy.

Seriously? It's a psych's blog for people who are/have been dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction etc.

Great find - but depressingly predictable. Though I did enjoy this re our friend mentioned above: "What about this Tokyo Medical Association that Ozaki apparently chairs? Alas, it is not an official government organization. It’s not an academic organization either. It’s not even any type of...

As for what you published, jesus H christ, it's just utter BS. Your "expert" there cites FLCCC in the U.S. as some kind of reference. FLCC, or "Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance", is another of these collection of cranks and professional s**t-stirrers, most of them fringe figures who...

Typical confirmation bias BS. You cite this "expert" (cough) while ignoring all the thousands of other experts pointing out that there's no credible scientific evidence for the use of Ivermectin for Covid.

Not sure of anywhere else, but in France there's backdoor mandating: as of about 3 weeks ago, if you use vaccination to keep your health pass valid, validity lapses 7 months after your second dose without a booster. Got mine last week. (Pfizer after 2 Astrazenecas). Currently a mad rush to get...

There are still plenty of them trotting that out, even though as you point out it hasn't been included for years, and wasn't included in all vaccines anyway.

It's designed to look absurd. The anti-vaxers have asked for over 300 000 pages of documents. That's the equivalent of about a thousand meaty novels, when just a handful of papers would cover the key data (and which FDA have offered to release). It's a performative stunt so that they can turn...

Sounds legit. But it's all they have, these crank sites and blogs. Someone posted a video the other day as justification for a patently false claim they'd made. It was on a site I'd never heard of (thankfully) because as they pointed out "it couldn't be posted on Youtube because of the...

This is par for the course for anti-vaxers. Take something out of context, add or increase the numbers to make them sound scary, add or drop a few words to misrepresent what's actually happening, and parade it all as where-there's-smoke-there's-fire evidence of ... well something. Behind this...

Yes, but they've been incredibly slack on non-vax measures - to sit in a packed Tube carriage in London when almost no-one is wearing a mask is quite something.

On the other hand ... Admission to hospital, over 80's, France. Orange line is unvaccinated, blue lines are 1 or 2 doses. Black line along the bottom is 2 doses + booster. Figures are per million for each group.
