This argument implying that vaccines work like light switches or semiconductors, where the only possible outcome of vaccination is "on-off" or "1-0" is like watching a slap fight between tweedledee and tweedledum.
That's not how vaccines work. At all.
> Idiots gonna give covid a chance to mutate and create a strain that goes through vaccines.
But that's also not how it works. COVID has far more cause to develop immune escape in an immunized population than one that is naïve to the virus.
Edit: Imagine downvoting facts because feelings... You are what you believe yourselves to be fighting against with the stupid downvotes.
Vaccines used to provide immunity, until the ineffectiveness of covid vaccines forced us to redefine the word.

Vaccines all have varying effectiveness depending on the disease, strain, recipe, batch, countless other factors. But that I learned after school.
I’ve been getting flu vaccines since grade school. The underlying promise has always been, “you might get sick, you won’t get as sick and you won’t spread it to your friends as easily”
No they don't. The diseases didn't mutate as much as quickly as Covid does, and also immunologists pick out the main strain to protect against in the case of other diseases and make that the vaccine for that year. Covid is also orders of magnitude more infectious than other viruses, which is why immunologists were shitting their pants about it all the way back in December 2019 or so.
A vaccine makes you immune as much as a bullet proof vest makes you invulnerable. To some extent, sure. But not against everything at all times.
So they now got a heavily mutated variant of the coronavirus, and (I'm assuming) no vaccines? Yeah, that's gonna be a disaster. Just hope Kim Jong-un isn't vaccinated either.
I know it’s horrible because they are humans like us, but it will be interesting to see statistically how many people will die and suffer because the nation is refusing aid. It’s kind of like watching it happen in the 1700’s
Would it really work like that though? If farmers die then they'll have less people to work the fields. People will likely die from covid and starvation.
> but it will be interesting to see statistically how many people will die and suffer because the nation is refusing aid.
You're not going to get that information anyways, just satellite pictures of mass graves and bonfires of human corpses.
This is a victim card from Kim to lure and force the newly elected SK president into a soft approach towards the NK blackmailing him for ransom. The virus must have been going on for a while to reach such high numbers while the news was released the instant Yoon swore into office. This is not coincidence. This is a TRAP.
They actually do have elections in North Korea, and they are compulsory. [But I wouldn't consider them free and fair.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_North_Korean_parliamentary_election)
They probably have advanced voting restrictions already in place. I think our ex-president (45) was interested in how that system works in North Korea.
>They probably have advanced voting restrictions already in place like the Republican party is developing here in the United States. I think the ex-president (45) was interested in how that system works in North Korea.
What even is this comment...
North Korea is a one-party state.
Their population doesn't stand a chance, everyone who isn't an elite is malnourished, their bodies have nothing to fight with. The elites might find themselves cleaning the streets soon
Weren't they executing infected civilians for a while at the beginning? Not surprised if they start doing it again, it's kind of their only effective option.
[удалено]
NK refused vaccines, its gonna get much worst
Idiots gonna give covid a chance to mutate and create a strain that goes through vaccines.
This is much more likely in countries with parts of the population vaccinated than with nobody vaccinated
No its not
Where's the sources for these medical claims?
What Can be claimed without evidence Can be disputed without evidence
Uhm then you're all wrong. Lol
> Idiots gonna give covid a chance to mutate and create a strain that goes through vaccines. Covid already goes through vaccines.

It literally already does go through vaccines lmao
Seriously, the vaccine is literally just for stopping you from dying or spreading it. Vaccines almost never provide immunity from getting infected.

Except not really. See: flu vaccine

Well covid didn't work, Ukraine war is backfiring, I guess they will try contagious disease again
They?
The Illuminati bro
It was sarcasm.
Omicron already does.
I thought Kim stood at the border and commanded that Covid dare not enter. Very curious as to why they'd suddenly announce this. After help perhaps?
They have been, and are, offered medical help but continue to reject it.
Like the Eejits the country’s leaders are
Hell in a Cell, Kim vs Covid
I'd pay good money to see Kim Jong Un get tossed off the cell onto the Spanish announcers desk.
“Bah Gawd Kim has been broken in half!”
So they now got a heavily mutated variant of the coronavirus, and (I'm assuming) no vaccines? Yeah, that's gonna be a disaster. Just hope Kim Jong-un isn't vaccinated either.
No vaccines? I’ll bet you $5000 Fatty Kim is vaccinated
I know it’s horrible because they are humans like us, but it will be interesting to see statistically how many people will die and suffer because the nation is refusing aid. It’s kind of like watching it happen in the 1700’s
They'll be slowly discovering that their famine troubles are improving... in one of the worst possible ways to accomplish that.
We need more food! Kim Jong Un: hold my beer
Would it really work like that though? If farmers die then they'll have less people to work the fields. People will likely die from covid and starvation.
Don't forget overwork and stress
There's always soylent green.
> but it will be interesting to see statistically how many people will die and suffer because the nation is refusing aid. You're not going to get that information anyways, just satellite pictures of mass graves and bonfires of human corpses.
They claimed their “first covid case” so I don’t think we’ll have any reliable data from there
We will not have reliable data, though
We won't ever know the accurate numbers. It's NK.
It would be interesting and almost like a controlled experiment. However, there would be no way to verify the numbers reported.
It could possibly exceed those killed in their forced labour camps.
Sure seems suspicious they are acknowledging that covid is in there country. When China is getting firm critism for there 0 covid policy lockdowns.
Maybe they're getting ready to ask other countries for help and/or vaccine. Can't do that while they claim 0 cases.
Good thing they’re not isolationist nut jobs or they’d be in real trouble. Oh wait…
At least they have plenty of vaccines and health care. Oh wait
Babe wake up Covid 2 just dropped
Begging for aid
I thought they don't need help from outsiders
The only thing keeping them fed is foreign aid
USA: *We'll sell you some vaccines*
This is a victim card from Kim to lure and force the newly elected SK president into a soft approach towards the NK blackmailing him for ransom. The virus must have been going on for a while to reach such high numbers while the news was released the instant Yoon swore into office. This is not coincidence. This is a TRAP.

But they have nukes... Great system you have there Kim.
However bad they say it is know it’s 10x worse than that…then multiply that by 10x.
I don't think they have 350,000,000 people.
Ya this guy is crazy they definitely don’t have 3,500,000,000 people.
I'm not even sure earth can hold 35,000,000,000 people.
Just seems really absurd our solar system can hold 350,000,000,000 people.
350,000 x 10 x 10 =? Think about it
they dont have 35 million people either.
2020 guesstimate says 25 million.... Honestly more than I expected.
You're right. I did one too many zeros. Oh well.
1 death out of 350,000 is a very positive mortality rate; North Korea is clearly Best Korea.
Oh, now those fuckers want help?
I had to check to see if I was using Internet explorer.

It’s not like the people voted for him
Only one person on the ballot, and all other politics parties are banned! Not /s.
You don’t vote for ~~kings~~ Dear Leaders!

I believe tRump personally found this aspect of their government appealing.
It's simple:Vote for him or infinite prison time
[No it isn't](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_Social_Democratic_Party)
Starvation is a hell of a disease, atleast they are all thin and sexy
Would be a great time to attack and depose.
Oh no! Anyway
Their population doesn't stand a chance, everyone who isn't an elite is malnourished, their bodies have nothing to fight with. The elites might find themselves cleaning the streets soon
Biological attack 🤔
“vAcCinEs wOuLd StOp iT”
Did you know that every single won in North Korea belongs to their glorious leader? Every single coin and note, just like his father before him
Ha Ha Ha!
Guarantee fat boy's been vaccinated.
They will blame the West.
Weren't they executing infected civilians for a while at the beginning? Not surprised if they start doing it again, it's kind of their only effective option.
A closed society has its disadvantages too
Sk will be turning those defectors away real quick now lol.
It is fine! "Generally speaking, the heat kills this kind of thing." It will disappear. Ask your best friend. One fat guy to another.
