You can have the best singer in tge world but if the songs suck it makes little difference. But on this Skid Row album the songs are good.
still not Erik HEAT though is it 😉

I still think this situation is sad.
We get a half arsed HEAT album and a decent Skid Row album instead of a brilliant new HEAT album.

my favs are all the non singles

Honestly mate, who knows? It's all speculation.
I know you want to ignore places like Africa, or Sweden, but I don't. We all have our opinions. I think covid was something, and even a need for measured reaction. But I also think the most insane over-reaction in human history was how it was handled and honestly believe that over-reaction, in time, will far outweigh the effects of covid-19 itself.
I don't ignore Sweden, I just acknowledge that it has less than the population of London.
And Stockholm has a population density of 370/ Square Km.
London is over 5000 / Square km.
in fact Stockholm wouldn't even feature in the UK top 100 most densely populated areas.

But what about Africa, with the lowest vaccination numbers worldwide, as well as most of the lowest death rates worldwide? What say you of this?
Natural immunity and the natural evolution of a virus play no part? If not for vaccines we'd all be dead now?
covid never took hold much in Africa.
anyway aren't we talking about if vaccines reversed the stats in affected countries.
no one can argue that the vaccine rollout didnt reduce the spread and numbers in UK & US

Pfizer had admitted that it didn't even reduce spread. It did nothing about the spread. All it reduced were symptoms.
I also find people who use the pejorative term "misinformation" are the same people who are fully invested into indoctrination.
so what happened in the UK then lol? or was that a mere coincidence
oh wait, that was Astra not Pfizer 🤣🤣

My comment was more about you being confused by Auslander's remarks.
You don't agree with them and that's fair enough, but you can surely understand the point being made.
I thought it was pretty clear.
was it? he was basically saying that he was surprised that P said they knew all along it wouldnt stop spread.
How can you be surprised by that??
the vaccines would never stop spread only help to reduce spread & lessen the severity of the symptoms. That was made clear. And I'm not talking about Omicrom which is basically like a bad cold now. I'm talking about when covid was actually bad.
You remember those days yeah, when 1000s were dying in US, UK, Italy Spain. You know, those stats that even Geoff admitted were scary (in this thread) and prayed that those stats never hit Aus shores. You know those stats
Anyway, who the fuck cares anymore.
As I said this is about the only thread left on the Internet.
Apart from Dan's dodgy sites on course

But because Glen did either not understand, or not agree with the point, it is a conspiracy theory.
I’m not really sure how that game works, but if I don’t agree with Glen does that make all his points conspiracy theories too?
let's just term it misinformation - happy now

last 4 albums are by far their best imo.

C'mon mate.
please explain how the vaccines did not reduce the spread exactly. I'm all ears.
Whilst you're at it please explain how the UK went from a disaster zone to near zero cases and opened up way before most other countries after the roll out.
you're from Australia - your country's main issue was your disastrous vaccine roll out and buying into the ridiculous Astra panic. Ooh, 50 people out of 10 million had a blood clot. Mass panic over nothing.

On the plus side, she makes Boris look good
no she doesn't.
And she went maverick with the trickle down stance as hardly anyone else in the party would support reducing taxes in the wake of soaring inflation and increasing interest rates.
Completely barmy

Exactly, they claimed it would reduce spread. Now, they admit they knew it would not all along. Thus cost thousands of people their livelihoods as they lost jobs for refusing a vaccine which we now know did nothing to stop the spread. Sure it reduced symptoms but then why the panic if people didn't want it? If you had the vaccine you were still a spreader. And you are being a bit obtuse because you know yourself that all the health advice was that the vaccine would reduce the spread and it was a lie.
I'm confused by yr post?
if you got the vaccine you were less likely to 'catch' the virus. therefore less likely to spread it. But not immune to catching it.
If you caught it you should have isolated.
not sure I'm getting yr point.
You can't argue with history. The UK figures reduced to virtually zero after the vaccines were rolled out. After having been terrible with 1000s of deaths a day

Sounds like bullshit to me and a convenient distraction from the Pfizer reveal where they admitted that they knew the vaccine would not stop the spread.
And yep, I'm vaccinated, but in no way am I a sheep to big pharma and their sponsored media. Liars be liars who care more for profit than health of people.
is that really a reveal?
I was pretty clear from the outset that the vaccines only gave you a certain % immunity against COVID which would wane pretty drastically over time.
If a recall Pfizer was good at the outset (90% ??) but then waned pretty badly to around 60-70% protection over 6-9 months.
I think Astra was worse at the outset but held up better.
Don't quote me on these figures cos I'm just guessing off top of head.
My point is it was made clear that the vaccines wouldn't stop of you getting it but would reduce spread and make the illness less severe.
it worked well in the UK when first rolled out and meant the country could open up.
But fared less well when Omicrom turned up cos that was super spreadable , but no one really cared by then cos it was more like a bad cold

UK's version of Hillary Clinton?
she's about as right wing as they come - I was meaning that she's managed to virtually destroy our economy and plunge the country into chaos in about 5 weeks
Some feat.

Whether or not they achieve the perceived heights of those bands, I still heard the sound / style of those bands in this release. I'm not a fan of NFO so for me that was the element of the new album I didn't like, and recent Brother Firetribe has been pretty underwhelming too... so through my eyes it's not heavyweight comparisons, and therefore, for me, pretty valid comparisons.
BUT!!! To each their own.
sounds nothing like those bands to me BUT to each their own

wrong. I only use the term misinformation when it is warranted
perfectly happy to listen to other people's opinions and change my mind.
in this case though squawking about vaccines not working is spewing misinformation.
On the flip side, you call anyone who disagrees with you a liberal and end your debate in the same way
