If everyone eligible had been boosted, there would’ve been 95% fewer coronavirus cases, and 98% fewer hospital admissions.

All pure conjecture, not supported by actual data.

I know that it is only my personal experience with so many going out due to isolation these past few weeks, but for most who are not senior citizens it was a month after getting their third shot booster in November and December.

Right....information from Dr. Eric Topol, director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute in La Jolla, Dr. Grant Colfax, San Francisco’s director of health, and the researchers at USC who study and interpret modeling data is all just made up.

Possibly. From that article: "3 million L.A. County residents haven’t received a booster even though they are eligible, said the county’s public health director, Barbara Ferrer."

The thing is as essential we have been working the entire pandemic period and only now have multiple people gone out. I don't think vaccines are doing anything to prevent infection, mother nature adapted faster than man.

I agree that the vaccines can't prevent infection; what they do is reduce severe illness and possible hospitalization. COVID-19 is an airborne virus, and a vaccination can't stop that if the person is maskless and exposed to enough viral particles.

I do think L.A. has greater issues than other counties to deal with.

The findings lay bare how even a highly contagious variant like Omicron couldn’t overcome the pervasive and systemic inequities of public health in a massive county like Los Angeles.

That the people offering the conjecture have scientific credentials doesn't change the fact that it is pure conjecture. They offer nothing more than guesses about things that didn't actually happen.

Because they lie about the numbers.

Again, lax enforcement

If fines don't escalate and if fines for refusing access are small amounts, of course some private schools won't cooperate and will have outbreaks.
