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.

Yep, bang on. You do love a hypothetical scenario don’t you.

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!

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.

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)

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?

Covid central at my workplace.

Nothing to do.

So seems we will end up with herd immunity after all going by the daily cases

Still haven't had my PCR result back which was sent in the post Sunday

Yep 14 days AFAIK
But you will have the residual from the initial shots plus your t cells Will be handling what your anti bodies haven't.

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

All that does is re-emphasise why vaccination is necessary

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.

I wonder if governments in the west will now actually plan to invest money into being prepared for future pandemics.

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”

dear me

By and large it is. If by this point you don´t understand this then I can´t help you.
