Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Pretty sure we all knew we were taking an experimental vaccine mate.

And that the media and Governments told many lies in order to get people to take it.

But hey, it worked, so no harm done hey.

Vaccines generally are not evaluated for transmission initially to get them to market. It's not a corner cut to get them to market and not shocking news. Transmission data generally comes later.
There has been recent data published showing a decrease in transmission rates, but it does decline over time a good bit faster than preventing severe illness in vaccinated people. There is a large transmission study going on now in the US.

Even if vaccines don't decrease transmission rates, "get vaccinated for others" still holds. Decreasing hospitalizations/death is good for everyone - less cost to a country as a whole, less burden on the healthcare system and those that need it for non-COVID reasons as well less strain on healthcare workers, among other societal benefits. To say nothing of the benefit to people who care about you not having to sit by your bed (or not be able to do that) and watch you struggle to breathe and the long term health problems, disabilities, reduced income, etc that can result from severe illness.

Had my 4th today. Didn’t really have any reaction to the first 3 so hopefully will be the same again

I've had a few of these shots now and I am still alive, in good nick and have a healthy amount of mistrust for the government. When does it kick in?

What truth has came out?

 

[Toff33Blues99]

What truth has came out?

That you must have it to help others. Pfizer has said it was a lie

That you must have it to help others. Pfizer has said it was a lie

That was the not the question and that was not the answer Pfizer said.

Pfizer director admits: vaccine was never tested on preventing transmission.
This is just the start of the unravelling of this myth the majority have been duped into getting

No vaccines, haven’t caught covid since November 2020 when I had mild symptoms, everyone I know who’s been vaccinated has caught it at least once in that same time frame. So I feel completely justified in my decision and am happy with it.

Think we all knew that from the off, it would have been a few more months testing on transmission.

The vaccine was to reduce the severity of the symptoms and to reduce hospital admissions. Which the data shows it worked.
