Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Can I ask a question to the anti vaxxers?

If a country had a mandatory vaccination policy, would you refuse to travel there?

I think that'll be a redundant question in a couple of months!

So we need three jabs now according to British scientists (peace be upon them) but Israeli scientists (peace be upon them) are saying we need four...

Which science are we supposed to listen to rn?

By golly, I think you've cracked it! Science almost had us, but they have slipped up big time here

Incredible that people are still investing so much in stuff they have seen on social media/listened to on podcasts cos it sounds exciting/makes them feel superior

What is the situation with kids and vaccines?

What's the alternatives? The government who can't get their information correct when they have an announcement?

I’m done

Had my booster 2 weeks ago, this never ending [Poor language removed] show is just a waste of people time and is deflecting from all of societies issues which need resolving.

Same

But if you know from a base data that the symptoms are milder, it's causing less hospitalisation , less deaths. Then why can't you run with that without just going all in on the other side of covid again? There is taking precautions and then there is what the UK is doing, week by week getting closer to a point that is just not needed.

Hell there is data out there that shows the decreasing element of the variant in levels of antibodies , sure someone posted that here.

What I'm trying to say is we are acting the completely opposite way to South Africa with their actual brilliant medical and scientific brains in an almost deniability way, except we are denying the idea that it may be milder in favour of taking action as if it's worse.

What's the worst case scenario honestly? We lock down or we replace one variant with a less harmful one. I know you can say deaths but we already know that vaccinations protect against it, again South Africa have told us this. The sheet amount of vaccines and natural antibodies in this population so far has to count for something , all of this is acting like it doesn't when truth be told even 2 vaccinations is protection.

We just aren't getting told that because the government want us to get number 3, then number 4 in April time , and then number 5 next winter and so on. The vaccine works , the more you have the better you are protected but that doesn't mean 30 million double jabbed are suddenly without protection and it certainly doesn't mean we will see a significant increase in deaths either. Otherwise the vaccine was designed to fail and we both know that is not true.

@Jebus_lives answered for me here mate.

I see your point, I do get it. I'm too a bit worried that in April we'll suddenly see this 4th jab thing. They might as well just say now this is going to have to be a yearly vaccination along with the flu jab or whatever, because that seems likely to be the case.

But, right now even though the data from South Africa is good, you need more real-world evidence. Norway and Denmark appear to be a few days ahead of the UK, so these two countries are basically the pilots for Omicron in Europe too.

See, there is a line of thought that South Africa's increased natural immunity might have helped them keep down this fourth wave, btw (Omicron)

We're going to see now what it's like in a country that's immunity generally comes more from vaccination than infection, though obviously a lot of people have had the infection too.

Omicron, looking at it from a slightly positive note, does so far seem to produce a really strong immune response from the body, which is very good news. Because it is, so far, a very mild disease causing a very strong immune response.

 

[BlueToff]

I don't think people should laugh at others for expressing concerns that the vaccine/booster jabs thing will never end, btw.

I had doubts a few weeks back about the booster. I still don't think it's right that I'll be getting 3 jabs in 6 months, as will tons of other people my age, but I'll go get it. I'm as pro-vax as you can be with this thing (I just don't think anyone not getting it is a bad person). And in this case I see why they're doing it, because Omicron is so infectious that if an extra level of protection isn't out there, the hospitalisations will be too much.

Incredible that people are still believing what the media publish and what the government say.
Sleepwalking into quarterly shots of gnats piss for years to come.
