Because the chance of infection is greatly reduced when two vaccinated people come into contact with one another.

Let me explain some more.

What we do know is that covid recovery time amongst the vaccinated testing positive is more than halved due to milder symptoms. Knowing that this leads to a much shorter period of the vaccinated person being infectious, when a covid-free vaccinated person comes into contact with them the odds of them getting infected are greatly reduced not only by this but there now being two barriers for the virus.

You can still get tested at any time if you are showing symptoms which is what the testing should only be used for IMO.



Interesting assumption to make. Did you know that 83% of over 18s in the UK have had the first dose and we are approaching 75% being double vaccinated by the end of August?

I guess I'm in the overwhelming majority of those in the UK who maybe can't have kids now or if I do they will have side effects.

It wasn’t an assumption Smith it was going off what you’ve said on here about not having kids. And I meant the side effects on you not future children.

No not had it eazy

I don't think I've ever said on here I don't want kids, only that I don't have kids right now. I'm not ruling it out for fear of what one vaccine might do when I've been vaccinated for a whole bunch of stuff for trips to South America and Africa already. Never been worried about side effects on me before so not now either.

Brother is a doctor and said every year they get around 10 different flu strains that they haven’t had before at the hospital every winter.
Don’t see why this would be any different really.

Are you saying Covid is like the Flu - Anti Vaxxer prick

9. There are four major risks associated with high numbers of infections. These are an increase in hospitalisations and deaths, more ‘Long-COVID’; workforce absences (including in the NHS); and the increased risk of new variants emerging. The combination of high prevalence and high levels of vaccination creates the conditions in which an immune escape variant is most likely to emerge. The likelihood of this happening is unknown, but such a variant would present a significant risk both in the UK and internationally.

Hence why efficacy rates decrease with new variants

I posted it so I know what it says - the virus can still be prevalent even with high vaccinations - point is Sage have said that the conditions can create a variant - its there in black and white. All I’m pointing out - and so are our scientists - is that we could see viral immune escape.

Nah I was talking about adults getting side effects later in life, and then not being able to take care of their kids. Like me, Dad to 3 young kids and want more. If I get that jab and end up ill in a few years from it, would it have been worth it? No it wouldn’t. There’s absolutely no way they’ve tested it properly. The whole thing from Autumn 2019 when it started to now has been a fuckin disaster.

Edit: just to add I’m not anti vax at all

The fact it came out within months of covid, which means they haven’t tested it in to years of having it.

Yeah agree - that’s why “Freedom Day” could cause chaos and hard work pissed up the wall. Also you can’t put everyone into the anti vax buzz saw - we have all been critical of this government in here - but a strange phenomenon is now happening where critical of government legislation now makes you an anti vax alt right brexiteer

Rick asked why other people weren’t speaking about it. I’ve given my opinion and reason. I’m not in to discussing this type of thing mate so I’ll leave you to it. You ever need to smell good give me a shout.
