Won’t that just show you have antibodies from the vaccines anyway?
Im double jabbed and have been ill 3/4x in the past 3 months, im takong antobody test just out of curiosity (paying for it myself), im eligible for my booster in the uk now and in Hungary where i reside, but i dont want to waste a vaccine when it wont affect me, assuming one of my sicknesses was covid.
Masks obviously work. The idea they don’t is one of the dumber ones to take root during the pandemic.
Compared to what? If mask wearing wasn’t compulsory? It would be worse according to every piece of actual scientific evidence. It’s like saying seatbelts don’t work because people still die or get seriously injured while wearing a seatbelt.Like scotland and wales? Hows it going up there over the past few months?
Yes but they would be waning if it was vaccine antibodies.Won’t that just show you have antibodies from the vaccines anyway?
Im not saying im against mask im just saying they dont work aswell as some people say, and the car analogy is bullshit.Compared to what? If mask wearing wasn’t compulsory?

Yes, though this obsession with coating surfaces in bleach was debunked ages ago yet is still being pushed in most places. Does my head in.
The outbreak amongst staff at the Ricoh testing centre was traced back to surface transmission on a shared appliance in the staff canteen so it's not total bollocks though obviously airborne transmission is the big one.
I'd like to see more on that outbreak if that's available. Basically any peer reviewed research has failed to grow the virus from surfaces even in lab conditions.
This 100%.It's weird that some seem to be so threatened by them - presumably it makes their fear/lack of control over the situation worse....
Don't know if there's anything online but it was when I lost my job at the start of the year and was doing a bit in a testing centre.
They had an outbreak at the ricoh which they said was from a shared appliance and changed the procedures around cleaning and started removing some appliances from the canteens etc.
As predicted.
The good news has been ignored on this thread and its still an argument about masks
Read my post about 5he Scottish medical officer you clown.
I was against it previously but am coming round the to idea of mandatory vaccines now.
Because the anti-vaxx conspiracies are utter shite and impacting wider society.Why do you think it is a good idea? And what has changed?
Maybe if the snowflakes just put them on without whinging like little bitches we could get to the good newsAs predicted.

Booked my booster for 30th Dec
I'm currently 29th. If the opportunity comes to move it forward to mid December, I will.Booked my booster for 30th Dec
Not sure I'm going to bother with the booster to be honest, I've had the 2.
Why have two and then not a booster?
It may change but the whole premise was get double jabbed, do your bit etc.
I'm by no means anti vax and think I am being chipped but just don't really see an end to it all. Goalposts are moved every week.
Not sure I'm going to bother with the booster to be honest, I've had the 2.
I expect the booster will become mandatory for travel next summer.
The thing was, the vaccines were supposedly mandatory for things as well. Vaccine Passports to get into football matches etc.
Goalposts moved.
Yeah I guess i look at it from an Italian perspective where they’re clamping down on it more and more.The thing was, the vaccines were supposedly mandatory for things as well. Vaccine Passports to get into football matches etc.
Goalposts moved.
If Mrs Wisdom can get her's done (when I ended up in casualty once, I had to divert the nurse to look after her, as she fainted while *I* had a needle pushed into me!!) then anybody can(!)as well as phobias of needles
It's excellent news in a general sense. Still a small sample size, mind you.COVID-19: Most Omicron cases are 'mild' and there's no evidence to suggest vaccines may be less effective against the variant, says WHO official
The World Health Organisation has also urged countries to apply "an evidence-informed and risk-based approach" to travel measures, saying blanket bans will not prevent the spread of the new Omicron COVID variant.www.google.com

I'm still confused by the rush to get everyone boosted so soon, mind you - even more so if it does turn out that cases end up milder. Even more so as they still haven't revised the booking system to do so, so cramming half the UK into a month and a half period could be... interesting!
I thought when viruses mutate they become more transmissible but not as deadly. By that logic the original strain/strains that hit the world in Deb 19 was the worst

See not really true, the chances of a vírus mutating to become deadlier is miniscule, they tend to reduce in potency as you can say over time, its just the natural evoloution of a vírus, they mutate to survive and multiply not to kill the host. (not saying it cant happen but very very very tiny chance of it happening)Viruses can mutate to become either more deadly, or less deadly. At the moment I think the jury is out on the Omicron strain:
We shouldn’t worry when a virus mutates during disease outbreaks - Nature Microbiology
Mutation. The word naturally conjures fears of unexpected and freakish changes. Ill-informed discussions of mutations thrive during virus outbreaks, including the ongoing spread of SARS-CoV-2. In reality, mutations are a natural part of the virus life cycle and rarely impact outbreaks dramatically.www.nature.com
