Booster protection falls away after 10 weeks
ExtremelyUnderwhelming...
You're obsessed with freedom day mate. That was back in June. Has nowt to do with 120000 cases on 23rd December.120,000 cases; what a shit show.
The freedom day bollocks should never have happened.
Yeah, a complete roll back of restrictions during an ongoing global pandemic is going to have zero impact.You're obsessed with freedom day mate. That was back in June. Has nowt to do with 120000 cases on 23rd December.

Quarterly jabs?Booster protection falls away after 10 weeks
Can't imagine people will be too pleased to take that up tbhQuarterly jabs?
That was 6 months ago mate.Yeah, a complete roll back of restrictions during an ongoing global pandemic is going to have zero impact.
Pfizer are working on a vaccine targeting the variant which they say will be ready in March. Not sure if ready means ready to start production or ready to go into arms. Lets hope that provides longer protection.Booster protection falls away after 10 weeks
Course it will.Pfizer are working on a vaccine targeting the variant which they say will be ready in March. Not sure if ready means ready to start production or ready to go into arms. Lets hope that provides longer protection.

BBC said:Two doses of a vaccine were shown to offer limited protection against catching Omicron, which was then restored with a booster dose.
However, the report says this protection drops by between 15% and 25% after 10 weeks. This is still better than having no booster dose and the protection against severe disease or death is likely to be even greater.
While vaccine protection against severe disease from Omicron looks likely to be far more robust, there is uncertainty about what will happen when the variant reaches older age groups. Most of those catching it and going into hospital were under the age of 40.

Isn't that just focusing on case numbers though?120,000 cases; what a shit show.

Yeah, in absolute terms it's nonsense, you could certainly argue the rhetoric around it makes it far harder to row back if needs be, however... and that can potentially have a consequence.Come on Sick boy, that’s nonsense. These case numbers are driven by a totally new far more transmissible variant. France didn’t have ‘freedom day’ yet managed 84k with probably less tests than us yesterday. Germany has been recording 400-500 deaths a day recently and that’s before an anticipated fifth omicron wave.
Also, who’s to say that the people who got natural immunity from catching Covid over summer and autumn when case numbers remained high aren’t helping to reduce/minimise hospitalisations now when hospitals are naturally far more stretched at this time of year ?!
Not sure any judgements can be made until this winter plays out and we hopefully all get through this shitstorm but I for one am glad we had some normality for a few months over the summer before restrictions were re-imposed*
*ive always said I’d have kept mandatory face masks on public transport though

What's the accuracy on the "variant" like now? Are they testing everybody to see which variant or just some?Well the one that replicates in two day's is at currently 16k of circa 120 k cases at least I think that's it currently ,so how has Delta which was ultimately under control relatively ballooned to at least double it's level of a month ago?
Which other countries have you travelled to during the pandemic?Yeah, I think people did take a little bit of time to get back into mask wearing routines but to be fair as a Nation I think we have been pretty good....saying that i don’t have to use public transport in peak times etc so might be wrong
That's what is currently on the BBC news channel straplineWhat's the accuracy on the "variant" like now? Are they testing everybody to see which variant or just some?
Appreciate that im good but 999/111 wont do me any good i am not in the uk, bit definitely will keep an eye out im on a heart monitor for 48 hours now.

It doesn't have any real relationship to what's happening now tbfYeah, a complete roll back of restrictions during an ongoing global pandemic is going to have zero impact.
Where have you seen that?Booster protection falls away after 10 weeks
Bbc mate, 15-25% drop in effectiveness. Still robust against severe illness.Where have you seen that?
What that they're first in the queue again for another dose of a vaccine that half the world hasn't had one of? People are entitled wankers if you ask meGoing to go down like a lead balloon with the population mate isn't it ?
And that's still a damned fine chance of not catching it at all.Bbc mate, 15-25% drop in effectiveness. Still robust against severe illness.

If it's march it's going to be sneezing when going by fields as a symptom.Wonder if by the time it's available and been distributed whether we'll have another variant starting to take over?
Pfizer won't want this to end. Guess they have settlements to pay.
I'm saying they will rinse it for everything they can, while they can.You think all this is manufactured to make Pfizer a few quid?
Strange post.

Booster will fix that until about June.

Pfizer aren't the ones identifying the new variants.I'm saying they will rinse it for everything they can, while they can.
Not nearly as strange as you suggesting things that haven't been said.
