Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics) (6 Viewers)

I can’t decide if it’s idiots all the way down or there’s people who know better but spread bullshit for cash/political gain. If it’s the former I have some sympathy, the latter can get fucked though.

Difficult to know either way. But if they are true it’s hardly surprising. Pandemic going on and that.

It’s still a shame though. There’s was one where all 6 members of the family died.

I don't think it is a shame with her tbf, as she's an appalling c**t:

This is tragic though. So avoidable.

That poor bloke.

Mum, 55, and daughter, 32, both die of Covid after refusing to get the jab

So.. face coverings in a crowded area among strangers help reduce the spread... but not mandated. That reassures for train journeys, eh.

And what the hell is the rest of the bollocks he's spouting?!?

I didn’t realise covid didn’t spread amongst people who see each other often.

What a vile c**t.

I don't like the thought of anybody dying horribly, personally. Even if they're a shit, they'll have family who'll be affected.

Is that genuine? I just can't believe anyone could be so callous. Absolutely disgusting if true

Yes it's genuine unfortunately.

She's an extreme right wing nutter who had support from Trump.

So vaccine passports will have to be shown for anyone attending our away games at Swansea and Cardiff then?

 

[Sick Boy]

Expecting outrage at the new travel rules as well.

I know right from wrong

Clearly not...

False info is pretty destructive, and dangerous in this case.

'Depopulation agenda?' If that was the case you'd just let Covid run!

Anyway if you don't want a reaction about conspiracies, why post one?

I'm just asking you to watch the video, that's all mate.

Take your creepy cult shit elsewhere.

And then take a critical thinking course.

No he’s entitled to his crappy, ill informed, dangerous, thick opinion

And I’m entitled to think he’s a sheep who couldn’t think his way out of a paper bag because he parrots literally any old bollocks he sees that goes against the mainstream.

Got to love a liberal democracy.

Fucking hell.
I think that despite the bravado the anti-vaxx lot are unable to accept the reality of the situation and can’t face the fact that the situation is out of control, hence the bullshit narratives about it being fake, pre-planned, controlled, NHS conspiracy etc.
Their behaviour is disgusting though and offensive to the NHS workers who’ve given so much over the last 18 months.

didn't you know huge amounts of cash makes you immune? Or you can just get one of the servants to contract the virus for you?

What are the studies on how the vaccine affects transmission rates?

Can't find anything anywhere.

Not sure.
Think they seemed to think of hope it was very effective in Israel at the point of mass vaccination but the Indian/Delta variant reduced it

Really not certain at all but think it's low may have seen 50% at one point but I do remember feeling crest fallen that it wasn't going to be the magic bullet.

Thanks for posting that.

Doesn't seem particularly reassuring whatsoever to be honest.

Nothing is completely reassuring

 

[SBT]

Thanks for posting that.

Doesn't seem particularly reassuring whatsoever to be honest.

What doesn’t seem reassuring?

From the first one:

several of the available vaccines appear to limit infection and viral replication, often lowering viral load beneath the threshold for transmission and preventing symptoms…many studies show significant efficacy in preventing transmission for some vaccines, such as the Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson vaccines

From the second one:

We provide empirical evidence suggesting that vaccination may reduce transmission by showing that vaccination of health care workers is associated with a decrease in documented cases of Covid-19 among members of their households. This finding is reassuring for health care workers and their families.

What stood out for you?

What stood out for you?

'Given that vaccination reduces asymptomatic infection with SARS-CoV-2,2,3 it is plausible that vaccination reduces transmission; however, data from clinical trials and observational studies are lacking.'


The studies largely say nothing.

That sentence you’ve quoted is immediately followed by another saying the authors have subsequently gathered “reassuring” empirical evidence though?

The studies were lacking; now they’re showing good news!

I hope you are right. Just seems to me the jury is out still.

I desperately want the vaccine to be the way out of this, but I'm losing a lot of hope that it is going to be the case.

Which studies have you seen that argue the contrary?

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Which studies have you seen that argue the contrary?

As I said, there seems to be a lack of studies that I could find at least. That's why I asked.

The ones you posted hardly cover the positive in glory though do they?
