Dazo Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 7 minutes ago, Taffin said: What's the thinking it through though? Being vaccinated doesn't stop you getting the virus, so it can still mutate, yes maybe slightly less so but I've yet to see that being proven. So what is the benefit to young people of getting vaccinated? And don't say because they need a vaccine certificate, that's not the reason for them being vaccinated, that's a tool to make it happen. More people vaccinated equals less transmission and less opportunity to mutate. Surely that benefits everyone ? On that basis those in the really low risk groups should also get vaccinated for the greater good rather than looking at it for their own health. Nothing more or less than that.

Not comfortable with that . Yes I acknowledge that the blood clots / side effects risks is minimal like any medication one takes . Why are boosters an issue ?

They think it does, and hope it does and small data studies suggests it does but as far as I know they still haven't proven that on any decent scale.

It's still about asking some people to do something to hopefully benefit others, which is fine and good, but why can't they just be up front about it rather than the charade of it being for our own personal health? They've played on it being a threat to all despite the data saying it's not, now they're having to conceded that actually the miniscule risk of blood clots for under 30s is a similar risk of serious issues from Covid which blows a hole in their narrative of the last year. It is, and always has been a need for the young to play their part in helping those not as fortunate but rather than be transparent on that and, heavens forbid, a bit grateful to youths giving up a year of their lives they've tried to scare them all, demonise them and cojole them into getting on board. Just say 'othere less fortunate really need your help and compliance right now, and we're extremely grateful for doing so'. It's not just the government though, people and the press calling people covidiots and chastising students etc when actually you need their buy in is just a spectaular own goal and risks them rebelling against it. Let's not forget that the Tories are notoriously all about self interest, protectionism and capitalism...the only demographics where the majority vote for them are the over 60s, so maybe they're now seeing the society they've voted for over the years.

Victorian Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 1 hour ago, TheOak88 said: Was wondering if someone more clued up on the vaccine could answer this question for me, as there may be an obvious answer that I have missed in the news etc. My understanding is that people who have been vaccinated can still catch CV, however the vaccine essentially stops them from getting ill from it. If vaccinated people can still catch CV and become a host for the virus, why can’t it mutate within a vaccinated person? Quoted yourself Gards as you mentioned the topic in your above post, but really just an open question to anyone. Because they'll be less infectious and for a shorter time.

I’m not going to get bogged down looking for the stats and proof and I’m guilty of going from memory. if I’m wrong I’ll hold my hands up but everything I have read from the trials and limited data from the roll out suggests transmission is reduced when vaccinated. I can’t recall reading anything to claim otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no obvious symptoms for high blood pressure and only by having it checked can you determine if you have hypertension or not - and it's also deadly. Same goes for lots of other things.

Note that the historical comparison date has now been changed from 1 March to 1 April. The fairly significant drops in the 7-day vaccination figures are in part due to the "catch-up" elevated figures last Thursday, caused by the GP reporting issue, disappearing off the other end.

Some people in here should pay a visit 😂 Ah, nostalgia. This is how the conspiracy theorists used to do it before the internet. Placards in the street, stickers in telephone boxes, or shop windows full of propaganda (very often using words cut out of newspapers). Times were much simpler then.

Real thing. Plenty people just died before they got it. Or seriously I'll. You can look that up. See also Brazil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I'm concerned about now I suppose is the opening up the borders aspect as regards bringing variants into the mix - I personally would prefer that this is done in a way in which there isn't such a huge volume of folk suddenly coming in from abroad that the testing for variants and the tracking of those sharing space with those found to have variants isn't compromised. I guess that I don't want all our hard work, deprivation and sacrifice to be wasted by a variant taking hold. Even that concern should go with time however if the vaccines prove to be fairly resistant to other variants.
