It was “pushed” as lowering your chances of catching it, and thereby spreading it. And it still does!

There is no question the vaccine has saved lives, in nearly all cases in older or vulnerable people however, but the transmission reduction has been massively underwhelming.

We are the most vaccinated we have ever been and it has still been spreading like wildfire with some of the highest number of cases ever.

Corrrr, it’s almost like there was a different, vaccine-evading variant on the loose…

So by the time we lockdown those who aren't boosted it will be time for another one.....Next thing you know, if you haven't had your 8 weekly jab that the vast majority don't personally really need, you can't leave the house to go to work.

I can see why macron is so fixated on punishing the unvaccinated what with his wife being 110 and seriously vulnerable

In which case people need to admit that it is not halting transmission then. It would make for a lot more honest conversations and solutions.

I worked at the Hill Street Blues coffee shop for about 3 weeks in 1994.....what a place! .....I got paid about 30 guilders a day plus as much free weed & hot-chocolate as I could handle.....marvellous

Went back many times since......the last time I was in that place was for 2006 world cup but I've just googled & its still there & still looks sound as a pound.

I’ve still got a Hill Street Blues lighter somewhere. Lovely Silver Haze there. Lost in Amsterdam was my favourite, even the missus was eyeing up the waitresses!

The vaccine is reducing transmission, not halting it but more importantly it’s reducing hospitalisations and ICU usage which is the important thing for avoiding lockdowns (interesting though someone ok R4 today saying England and Scotland has basically the same movement data over December so England was in a voluntary lockdown despite the rules - which brings into question how much official lockdown rules matter when most people lock themselves down if the virus is at large)

Up to 90% of Covid patients in ICU are unvaccinated, medic claims

Professor Rupert Pearse, who is on the frontlines at the Royal London Hospital, said most patients in critical care wards were in their 20s and 30s. He said unjabbed people were more at risk from Covid.

I felt worse from my booster last Wednesday than I do from having covid this Wednesday.
Does that mean the vaccine works? I thought it wouldn’t work fully for 14 days after the booster?

The first two shots would still be providing protection, but yeah the booster has an effect before even a week is up:

Oh so it’s nearly 100% of its effect within 7 days. I first showed symptoms 4 days after the booster.

Covid-19: Fact check—how many patients in hospital are unvaccinated?

Intensive care units in the UK are filling up with patients with covid-19 who have not been fully vaccinated, a number of media reports have claimed over the past week. It led to the prime minister, Boris Johnson, urging people to get vaccinated to reduce the pressure on hospitals. He said that...

You posted incorrect information into this thread and now start throwing laughing emojis around. It does not look good.

I have always maintained the vaccine is in general good, but we have lost all perspective on age and health, as well as general risk. Considering you had to lie when posting something to exaggerate, that sort of proves my point.

Is this like when you trotted out the line on myocarditis when it’s been proven there’s a higher risk of it with an infection?

You mean when I pointed out the vaccine and how effective it is on people changes based on health and age, with it being of very, very little influence to young healthy people? Then, any side effects of the vaccine compared to it mean that it is a worthwhile debate to have.

You couldn´t argue against that so you trotted out the being offended and rubbishing narrative.

It is.

I am frequently finding bars (when they are open) charging 8 to 10 euros a pint. Of course, it depends where you go and if it is a tourist location etc.

I was in Oslo in 2019 and that was actually cheaper in a nightclub for a pint than it was in some bars here.

Most I’ve ever paid was something like £20 for a pint of Tiger in Singapore airport.

Why don’t you tell that to the wife of a 35 year old from this forum who died of the virus with no opportunity of a vaccine?

I’m sure she will appreciate your commentary

Making it personal isn´t really cool Grendel, and that is pretty low even for you. It just once again proves my point that you have to go to those levels in order to try and win an argument on the internet, because your facts are dodgy as fuck.

We understand the virus a lot more now than we did back then, and like anyone who has passed away from the virus at a young age, it is tragic, but fortunately it is also extremely rare. This is a world wide issue that involves everybody, if we lose sight of that perspective, then no one will have a life left any more regardless.

Not how I recall that whatsoever. You went on about young people ‘having doubts’ which actually aren’t grounded in anything that shows the vaccine is a bigger threat than the virus.

Its hardly personal is it? It’s a statement that negates your own narrative where you glibly say “it’s only 100 deaths below this age it’s the old it’s the obese it’s the sick”
