Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Maybe not the government, but there were many healthcare professionals not associated with the government that were providing good information.

There were, some weren’t listened to as they weren’t pushing the government narrative that they wanted to feed people.

I mean, why are you acting like natural immunity is some sort of conspiracy theory?

I mean, why are you acting like natural immunity is some sort of totality that anyone can opt into and their word be considered proof enough?

I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.

I’m not saying that everyone had natural immunity by default, if that’s what you’re thinking I meant.

I was asking to find out how 'natural immunity' was diagnosed. Or was the point raised something very different?

By actually having the virus.

Now I am confused.

Now I am confused.

I’m not sure how much more simple I can make it mate. If you have had the virus you have a level of natural immunity.

I am unsure how someone can be 'naturally immune' and be infected with the virus at the same time.

What? No. If you’ve recently had the virus then you are naturally immune, this is not a hard concept to understand?

And there lies a really big potential problem ( imo ), if we ever find ourselves here again, as people will be naturally be very sceptical of anything that comes from the government.

Like we were following ''weapons of mass destruction ''?

Ok, now I follow slightly more. A level of immunity was/is built having been infected, although that is not a certainty for all, and isn't guaranteed cover against mutations of the virus. Granted no vaccine is guaranteed against all mutations either, but that's about aiming at a background widespread antibody prediction than targeted bespoke treatment.
I was vaxxed, I got a type of covid after my second vax that put me in bed for two solid weeks. I didn't rest on my laurels - I still went for the following two jabs. I'd make those decisions again. I hope covid gets considered and included into the seasonal flu jabs that I have been receiving end of autumn every year for over 15 years.

No one takes my breathing quite as seriously as I do.

Whilst true for a lot of viruses, not necessarily true for the COVID SARS type of virus.

But it is true mate, according to the experts.

We really need to define what we mean by ''true'' and ''an expert''.
