BBC still spouting tripe that you can still “spread it” even if you are vaccinated I see.....

Just like I said in this thread about the Cambridge study saying it cuts it..... it will soon be swept under the carpet because the MSM love to scaremonger.

It says may still be able to spread it, even if vaccinated. Which is still probably the case.

Johnson & Johnson applied for vaccine approval in UK late last week

The UK has already secured 30 million doses of the vaccine.

People are getting the wrong end of the stick with this aren`t they ?

He`s opening up Wales for Welsh people, holiday homes, self catering accommodation, Air B&B etc.

Please don’t think I’m getting the wrong end of the stick. I know the rules and I stick to them.

But sure as night follows day, some (many) English will take any green light from the Welsh government as a literal green light for them to cross the border. We all know it will happen!

Missus has had her 2nd Pfizer jab this morning. Straight back out on the job like a trooper and hopefully that's her as protected as can be for the year.

It takes a liitle longer time to get up to full immunity after the second jab but a big step on the way and nearly there

And the Welsh police will be waiting for them, at the borders and beauty spots, fixed penalties at the ready, as they have been doing since day one.

The best indications are that reduced transmission is likely, maybe drastically reduced but it's almost certainly still possible to transmit it.

Either way safety measures can't be relaxed......

Until we have far more definite and widespread evidence for drastically reduced transmission it's best to act as if transmission rates are largely unaffected, even if it's not true.

If there's only a very minimal chance of passing it on then no harm done but if the reduction isn't as much as we thought then safety first procedures will be highly beneficial in keeping rates low anyway.

She's immune from criticism mate so I'm sure a vaccine will have kicked in instantly

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

And they give nurses a 1% pay increase.

This party can get away with anything.

Its amazing

Who actually thought they would get anything, I mean some people clapped and they expect more, silly people in the NHS, not enough other people really care about you. So strike all you like, me myself and I ain't listening.

The vaccine is amazingly good.

I hated leaving the EU, the constant pathetic memes and jokes let alone media scaremongering, but if we stayed in, we would have been in a right nasty mess with Covid and vaccine access.

The world leader doing its job again. 100% reliable against serious versions of every variant of covid.

Personally I would feel much more comfortable having the AZ vaccine although obviously you take whatever you are given.
