Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

I know a lot of people that do. I did for a while too.. But im fully vaccinated up now.

Obviously I'm very much for vaccination but it's not an incorrect view to hold in the sense that if you're healthy, you're gonna have a better chance against any illness.

Now, unfortunately, there's always exceptions to the rule. But just having one jab could well have saved the guy's life.

Lot of vaccine hesitancy and anti masking attitudes isn’t great when Delta seems very good at infecting.

Even places that have decent vax coverage (for US) and mask requirements are showing a bump

Honestly we've just screwed up mask PR from day one and continue to do so.

I will hold up my hand and say very early days I didn't think we should all mask based on what we thought we knew about virus spread, efficacy of non N95 masks and PPE shortage.

Not sure that's true. Soap will destroy the lipid layer of the virus, killing it without the need for heat

I've had had my second dose of the pfizer vaccine at around 3pm today. At the moment i feel fine, but that could change in the next few hours/days. I feel a lot better that it's done though.

I hope he is not given special treatment just because he is well-known and controversial. If someone else who is not anti-vax and who didn't promote dangerous views needs a helicopter to transfer to a different/better hospital, they should have priority over this bozo.

From what i read online some people had no side effects whatsoever, and then i read about people with similar experiences to you. Still though at least i have some immunity to covid now.

Have to say, the Ireland vaccine rollout has been nothing short of exceptional. Amazing uptake which is really nice to see

On the plus side you know your body can recognise the virus if it ever sees it again!

Hope you are feeling better x
