Virus or vaccine?

A not-so-hypothetical: You are offered a choice, you can take the vaccine or get the virus, which do you do?

The virus has been honed by evolution to be moderately effective at taking over as many cells in your body as possible, converting them into factories to make more virus, and then exploding them when done. Given a free run, the virus would convert your entire body mass into grey goo within a few weeks. The virus has run into some level of resistance from the pesky human immune system, but generally virus trials are going well with about 4 million humans killed over a 16 month period. A small number of humans have managed to die in vehicle accidents some time after being infected by the virus, but the virus does not take any credit for these deaths.

The vaccine has been designed by very clever humans to be moderately effective at protecting against the virus. It has a strictly limited operation, a fixed amount is injected and it does not self replicate. The vaccine does the equivalent of going around cells handing out an information leaflet with a photo of the virus to the security guard on each cell door, warning that this is a nasty one that should not be allowed in. The vaccine has run into some level of resistance from people with irrational fears, but generally vaccine trials are going well with many reports of a sore arm for a couple of days, a smaller number of more serious symptoms that have taken a week or two to recover from, and a tiny number of deaths that might be attributable to vaccine but are more likely to be caused by virus that has sneaked past the cell guards before they have been fully briefed. A small number of humans have managed to die in vehicle accidents some time after being treated with the vaccine, but the vaccine is probably not related to these deaths.

Your options are to either (a) take the vaccine, (b) get the virus, or (c) wear a mask and stay away from other people for the rest of your life. Please reply a, b, or c. For bonus points, you may provide a short rationale fro your decision.

Vaccine.

I trust human ingenuity and the track record of medical safety is exemplary (not perfect, but better than the alternative). And eventually even I'll crack being at home all the time.

I disagree with the starting statement:

'The virus has been honed by evolution to be moderately effective at taking over as many cells in your body as possible'.

The virus evolved to infect another species, likely bats. It has escaped into humans and neither we as hosts nor the virus as guests have evolved to accommodate each other.

I also disagree with the binary nature of your options:

'Your options are to either (a) take the vaccine, (b) get the virus, or (c) wear a mask and stay away from other people for the rest of your life.'

These are not mutually exclusive. You can be infected with or without vaccination. And if new resistant strains appear, you will need to wear a mask regardless of previous infection or vaccination.

Option A. All day long.. If you don't risk you don't reap rewards.. If you are unlucky and have a reaction or problem? Then.. At least you tried to do your bit to keep everyone safe.

Proven that vaccine is working even again the new variant. If people can't for some reason have the vaccine fair enough, but if they just can't be bothered then they aren't bothered protecting themselves or others

For those who chose virus, your viral sample is now winging its way towards you from India. The April deliveries were primarily satisfied by our Brazilian subsidiary, but for May we have a new improved version specially cultivated in our Mumbai melting pot. Please take good care of your virus sample and follow the enclosed instruction leaflet for maximum benefit.

I don't see why I can't have as many of the choices as I want, as it's my body and surely we are free and not to be under the control of anyone, including big pharma. The virus doesn't stay very long in the body, so I could opt to have it more than once. The only downside is that I need more compensation if it goes wrong. This particular virus may not have had long enough in its trial phase, as it's been rushed around the whole world too quickly.

1 guy who I saw on YouTube and Ticktock, has explained the right choices but it's very complicated, so it's worth listening to him, as he makes it very simple to understand. I'll post the links to the video later, just in case it's taken down, as there are forces against the truth. I might do a, b, then c or c,b,a but probably b,c,a as there doesn't seem to be enough b,b,c choice

You're forgetting that we don't live in slums, are more than capable to isolate if needs be and have very strong immune systems from working on a front line for a full year instead of hiding away, predicting doomsday scenarios.

IF...

What IF they get the virus and are asymptomatic...Passing it on to a a few people? You do realise that if you pass it on to a handful of people they will in turn pass it on to a handful? Within a matter of weeks you have indirectly infected hundreds of people resulting in deaths...

Selfish? Yes.

See this sort of thing said a lot. While I get the sentiment I cannot agree less! Yes you start with Covid vaccine refusal but what next? Smokers - fuck you. Drinkers - fuck you. Obese - fuck you.

And before anyone shouts “those people are only a danger to themselves” the point is those three categories drain huge resources from our healthcare system that endanger the lives of others who desperately need treatment. It may not be as obviously immediate but the knock on effect is huge!

"For all of you choosing to have the virus. What if the question was regarding the flu. Would you choose to have the flu or have the flu vaccine ?"

I am fortunate to have a very strong immune system and have never had the flu jab, I rarely suffer even a normal cold. However, I have had both anti COVID jabs. Why? Because a very good friend of mine had an immune system like mine - strong and hardly ever ailed anything. She caught COVID and almost died. She now has long term covid. She caught COVID just a week before her first jab.

I didn't want to be in that situation so when I got the text offering me the jab I had no hesitation and took it.

I just hope now that the Indian strain of the virus is gaining a small foothold up and down the country, that the refusers reconsider their stance and take the vaccine. If they don't, then that's their absolute right but if the choice boils down to living or dying then I'm sure people would prefer to live.

Well I knew this would come up about the smokers, alcoholics and obese people. Don't forget the drug addicts. Although I'm obese myself it's not straight forward of "oooh I'll think I'll eat myself to death" it's psychological, well my personal experience is. I cannot comment on smokers or alcoholics.

Maybe what I said was a tad harsh about people not getting treated for covid if they refuse the jab. But I don't understand people who do refuse it.

I just have a very dislike to people who are antivax

Well maybe People don’t understand your psychological issues around eating and therefore being obese. I still wouldn’t begrudge you treatment from the NHS for any obese related problems.

You don’t need to understand the people that opt out of the vaccines. Just accept it.

I am playing devils advocate here because I think it is right to challenge black & white thinking when the reality is there are shades of grey in everything in life.

There is a difference between those who have concerns and are vaccine hesitant and those who believe varying levels of conspiracy theory and are anti-vax.

I think people have absolutely every right to be cautious and ask for more information to reassure them about safety.

There is no data (nor can there be) on possible long term health issues/side effects. That scares some people.

Perhaps by having a little more sympathy and understanding for that group and providing positive encouragement, it might help people rather than further alienating them and ultimately entrenching worries.

As for anti vax gang, I agree. Nutters!

Wow, what a toxic, spiteful attitude to life.

Of course being overweight is the greatest predictor of a poor Covid outcome, so it would be more logical to say all the fat people should just stay indoors for the duration wouldn't you say.

Meanwhile new restrictions are announced in Singapore after an outbreak at the airport according to the New York Times:

‘’Singapore health officials said that of 28 airport workers who became infected, 19 were FULLY VACCINATED with either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines’’

"A not-so-hypothetical: You are offered a choice, you can take the vaccine or get the virus, which do you do?

The virus has been honed by evolution to be moderately effective at taking over as many cells in your body as possible, converting them into factories to make more virus, and then exploding them when done. Given a free run, the virus would convert your entire body mass into grey goo within a few weeks. The virus has run into some level of resistance from the pesky human immune system, but generally virus trials are going well with about 4 million humans killed over a 16 month period. A small number of humans have managed to die in vehicle accidents some time after being infected by the virus, but the virus does not take any credit for these deaths.

The vaccine has been designed by very clever humans to be moderately effective at protecting against the virus. It has a strictly limited operation, a fixed amount is injected and it does not self replicate. The vaccine does the equivalent of going around cells handing out an information leaflet with a photo of the virus to the security guard on each cell door, warning that this is a nasty one that should not be allowed in. The vaccine has run into some level of resistance from people with irrational fears, but generally vaccine trials are going well with many reports of a sore arm for a couple of days, a smaller number of more serious symptoms that have taken a week or two to recover from, and a tiny number of deaths that might be attributable to vaccine but are more likely to be caused by virus that has sneaked past the cell guards before they have been fully briefed. A small number of humans have managed to die in vehicle accidents some time after being treated with the vaccine, but the vaccine is probably not related to these deaths.

Your options are to either (a) take the vaccine, (b) get the virus, or (c) wear a mask and stay away from other people for the rest of your life. Please reply a, b, or c. For bonus points, you may provide a short rationale fro your decision."

There are other precautions against sti's. "

Would you ask for proof of vaccines?

I only meet at clubs so I would most likely already know since I'd ask.

Vaccine. The biggest no brainer of our lifetime.

I'm already double Pfizered. No side effects at all.

What a great thread, a really refreshing twist on the subject, and written so well. it's made it hard (but not impossible!) for the standard arguments and tropes to be trotted out.

But still, vaccine. Obviously.

"What makes me laugh is people refuse to have the vaccine and yet put all sorts of chemicals inside their bodies anyway. And anyway for people who refuse the vaccine unless for a valid reason i.e medical then if they get covid I dont think they deserve to get treated.

See this sort of thing said a lot. While I get the sentiment I cannot agree less! Yes you start with Covid vaccine refusal but what next? Smokers - fuck you. Drinkers - fuck you. Obese - fuck you.

And before anyone shouts “those people are only a danger to themselves” the point is those three categories drain huge resources from our healthcare system that endanger the lives of others who desperately need treatment. It may not be as obviously immediate but the knock on effect is huge!

Well I knew this would come up about the smokers, alcoholics and obese people. Don't forget the drug addicts. Although I'm obese myself it's not straight forward of "oooh I'll think I'll eat myself to death" it's psychological, well my personal experience is. I cannot comment on smokers or alcoholics.

Maybe what I said was a tad harsh about people not getting treated for covid if they refuse the jab. But I don't understand people who do refuse it.

I just have a very dislike to people who are antivax

I'm hoping the lack of vaccine limits their lives in some way, this should be a nationwide effort to contribute to herd immunity, not people deciding they know more than experts who have been in their professions for decades.

Wow, what a toxic, spiteful attitude to life.

Of course being overweight is the greatest predictor of a poor Covid outcome, so it would be more logical to say all the fat people should just stay indoors for the duration wouldn't you say.

Meanwhile new restrictions are announced in Singapore after an outbreak at the airport according to the New York Times:

‘’Singapore health officials said that of 28 airport workers who became infected, 19 were FULLY VACCINATED with either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines’’"

Haha no it isn't. You can be overweight and still be healthy. Hell even slim and healthy people had covid and some of them didn't even survive. So anyone is at risk. Nobody is safe.

Funny the amount of people on here screaming in every forum mentioning it about how it’s not safe and u shouldn’t be meeting/travelling etc and how they value their own health. Yet not enough to shift a few stone. Mind u hiding under your bed for a year must play havoc with your exercise & diet regime

All through Covid we have taken our health and fitness very seriously. Been out running most days and had some people look on in horror as we jogged past (always keeping our distance with onus on runners in our book).

From the start common sense said it was going to be far safer and far more difficult to catch the virus outside cos, you know fresh air and wind dispersing viral particles.

Now the gov messaging is all about fresh air, windows open, meet outside.

I’d imagine the women just meant overweight in the general term.

It’s like saying if you’re fat then you’re more at risk. Which you are.

Excess weight is intrinsicly unhealthy, it is merely a matter of degree. A pound or two, maybe not. But a stone or two? Always.

I'd say I'm far from as toxic and spiteful as those refusing the vaccine.

Nobody said the vaccine stops you getting the virus, one part of the article you missed out was that it said:

None of the cases linked to the airport outbreak are believed to have resulted in critical illness or death, according to officials.

Which is exactly what vaccines are designed to do.

Nobody said the vaccine stops you getting the virus, one part of the article you missed out was that it said:

None of the cases linked to the airport outbreak are believed to have resulted in critical illness or death, according to officials.

Which is exactly what vaccines are designed to do. "

Hospitalised people are seriously sick and use resources, as in Bolton hospital, vaccinated or not. Only time will tell who is the more negligent and irresponsible and worthy of your bitter condemnation - the vaccinated overweight ones or the fit healthy unvaccinated. You're living in a glass house throwing stones I suggest.

"What makes me laugh is people refuse to have the vaccine and yet put all sorts of chemicals inside their bodies anyway. And anyway for people who refuse the vaccine unless for a valid reason i.e medical then if they get covid I dont think they deserve to get treated.

See this sort of thing said a lot. While I get the sentiment I cannot agree less! Yes you start with Covid vaccine refusal but what next? Smokers - fuck you. Drinkers - fuck you. Obese - fuck you.

And before anyone shouts “those people are only a danger to themselves” the point is those three categories drain huge resources from our healthcare system that endanger the lives of others who desperately need treatment. It may not be as obviously immediate but the knock on effect is huge!

Well I knew this would come up about the smokers, alcoholics and obese people. Don't forget the drug addicts. Although I'm obese myself it's not straight forward of "oooh I'll think I'll eat myself to death" it's psychological, well my personal experience is. I cannot comment on smokers or alcoholics.

Maybe what I said was a tad harsh about people not getting treated for covid if they refuse the jab. But I don't understand people who do refuse it.

I just have a very dislike to people who are antivax

I'm hoping the lack of vaccine limits their lives in some way, this should be a nationwide effort to contribute to herd immunity, not people deciding they know more than experts who have been in their professions for decades.

Wow, what a toxic, spiteful attitude to life.

Of course being overweight is the greatest predictor of a poor Covid outcome, so it would be more logical to say all the fat people should just stay indoors for the duration wouldn't you say.

I'll just point out that I'm medically obese, though I prefer "fat".

I have the resting heart rate of an Olympian, vital capacity of a competitive swimmer. My hormone levels are exactly where they should be, my liver and kidney function are among the best ever recorded. I think nothing of a three hour walk.

Yet, people including doctors are fast to assume Many false things about my health and lifestyle from a glance at me body shape.

Never assume a fat person is unhealthy or a slim person is healthy based solely on their body appearance.

They're extremely effective at both.

Nope, you very clearly have mentioned several times about being overweight. FYI I have had severe hormonal issues since I was 13 and have been on many different hormone medications which make you gain weight, I also had to have a hysterectomy at the age of 33 because of these issues, leaving me unable to have anymore children if I'd wanted any.

Maybe you need to take a look at your own toxic opinions before judging my opinions.

"What makes me laugh is people refuse to have the vaccine and yet put all sorts of chemicals inside their bodies anyway. And anyway for people who refuse the vaccine unless for a valid reason i.e medical then if they get covid I dont think they deserve to get treated.

See this sort of thing said a lot. While I get the sentiment I cannot agree less! Yes you start with Covid vaccine refusal but what next? Smokers - fuck you. Drinkers - fuck you. Obese - fuck you.

And before anyone shouts “those people are only a danger to themselves” the point is those three categories drain huge resources from our healthcare system that endanger the lives of others who desperately need treatment. It may not be as obviously immediate but the knock on effect is huge!

Well I knew this would come up about the smokers, alcoholics and obese people. Don't forget the drug addicts. Although I'm obese myself it's not straight forward of "oooh I'll think I'll eat myself to death" it's psychological, well my personal experience is. I cannot comment on smokers or alcoholics.

Maybe what I said was a tad harsh about people not getting treated for covid if they refuse the jab. But I don't understand people who do refuse it.

I just have a very dislike to people who are antivax

I'm hoping the lack of vaccine limits their lives in some way, this should be a nationwide effort to contribute to herd immunity, not people deciding they know more than experts who have been in their professions for decades.

Wow, what a toxic, spiteful attitude to life.

Of course being overweight is the greatest predictor of a poor Covid outcome, so it would be more logical to say all the fat people should just stay indoors for the duration wouldn't you say.

Meanwhile new restrictions are announced in Singapore after an outbreak at the airport according to the New York Times:

‘’Singapore health officials said that of 28 airport workers who became infected, 19 were FULLY VACCINATED with either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines’’

I'd say I'm far from as toxic and spiteful as those refusing the vaccine.

Nobody said the vaccine stops you getting the virus, one part of the article you missed out was that it said:

None of the cases linked to the airport outbreak are believed to have resulted in critical illness or death, according to officials.

Which is exactly what vaccines are designed to do.

Hospitalised people are seriously sick and use resources, as in Bolton hospital, vaccinated or not. Only time will tell who is the more negligent and irresponsible and worthy of your bitter condemnation - the vaccinated overweight ones or the fit healthy unvaccinated. You're living in a glass house throwing stones I suggest.

Do you have something against people who are overweight? Because it's coming across that you do. Apologies if I'm mistaken.

Not at all - just pointing out the hypocrisy of judging other people's health choices if your own are bad.

I certainly hope you're not making personal attacks against my appearance.

No, just your hypocrisy and judgementalism.

Nope, you very clearly have mentioned several times about being overweight. FYI I have had severe hormonal issues since I was 13 and have been on many different hormone medications which make you gain weight, I also had to have a hysterectomy at the age of 33 because of these issues, leaving me unable to have anymore children if I'd wanted any.

Maybe you need to take a look at your own toxic opinions before judging my opinions. "

You don't get it do you - I'm just playing devil's advocate and holding a mirror up on a thread where you wished suffering on other people for their choices and personal risk assessment, claiming your own moral superiority. Shame on you.

Sorry, not accusing you, just pointing out those who did were living in glass houses and throwing stones.

But stating that excess weight is detrimental to health, and a huge predictor of poor Covid outcome, is not a judgement, it is a neutral statement of fact.

"I disagree with the starting statement:

'The virus has been honed by evolution to be moderately effective at taking over as many cells in your body as possible'.

The virus evolved to infect another species, likely bats. It has escaped into humans and neither we as hosts nor the virus as guests have evolved to accommodate each other.

I also disagree with the binary nature of your options:

'Your options are to either (a) take the vaccine, (b) get the virus, or (c) wear a mask and stay away from other people for the rest of your life.'

These are not mutually exclusive. You can be infected with or without vaccination. And if new resistant strains appear, you will need to wear a mask regardless of previous infection or vaccination."

"A not-so-hypothetical: You are offered a choice, you can take the vaccine or get the virus, which do you do?

The virus has been honed by evolution to be moderately effective at taking over as many cells in your body as possible, converting them into factories to make more virus, and then exploding them when done. Given a free run, the virus would convert your entire body mass into grey goo within a few weeks. The virus has run into some level of resistance from the pesky human immune system, but generally virus trials are going well with about 4 million humans killed over a 16 month period. A small number of humans have managed to die in vehicle accidents some time after being infected by the virus, but the virus does not take any credit for these deaths.

The vaccine has been designed by very clever humans to be moderately effective at protecting against the virus. It has a strictly limited operation, a fixed amount is injected and it does not self replicate. The vaccine does the equivalent of going around cells handing out an information leaflet with a photo of the virus to the security guard on each cell door, warning that this is a nasty one that should not be allowed in. The vaccine has run into some level of resistance from people with irrational fears, but generally vaccine trials are going well with many reports of a sore arm for a couple of days, a smaller number of more serious symptoms that have taken a week or two to recover from, and a tiny number of deaths that might be attributable to vaccine but are more likely to be caused by virus that has sneaked past the cell guards before they have been fully briefed. A small number of humans have managed to die in vehicle accidents some time after being treated with the vaccine, but the vaccine is probably not related to these deaths.

Your options are to either (a) take the vaccine, (b) get the virus, or (c) wear a mask and stay away from other people for the rest of your life. Please reply a, b, or c. For bonus points, you may provide a short rationale fro your decision."

Haha both options require you to wear a mask and stay away from people.

Remember what we were told. Take the vaccine and we will be back to normal. Now we find out that the vaccine may help reduce the effects of covid. Covid that you have a 98. Whatever chance of recovering from.

The vaccine does not stop the spread of the virus.

People's side affects are not being listened to. They are being laughed at and belittled. My father took both shots and he has been struggling.. Whoops does that make me antivax? Seems to in a lot of people's eyes.

And with varients, how many jabs of experimental drugs will we be made to take? What if you are on powerful medication like ms drugs which alter the immune system already? Who tested these drugs in this situation? Just an example.

The problem is we have an untrust worthy government who has an agenda to get people vaccinated regardless of costs so that they remain popular.

This government and the need for factual health information do not mix... Now they are pushing for the kids to have it.

Seriously when will people wake up?

OK this is a post that caught my attention. Please note the word heard and things. I have heard things about covid and the vaccine too. The issue is the narrative is such that this comment about blood will not be questioned, because its about the effects of covid.

However replace covid with the word vaccine, and watch the reaction.

It has a strictly limited operation, a fixed amount is injected and it does not self replicate. The vaccine does the equivalent of going around cells handing out an information leaflet with a photo of the virus to the security guard on each cell door, warning that this is a nasty one that should not be allowed in. The vaccine has run into some level of resistance from people with irrational fears, but generally vaccine trials are going well with many reports of a sore arm for a couple of days, a smaller number of more serious symptoms that have taken a week or two to recover from, and a tiny number of deaths that might be attributable to vaccine but are more likely to be caused by virus that has sneaked past the cell guards before they have been fully briefed. A small number of humans have managed to die in vehicle accidents some time after being treated with the vaccine, but the vaccine is probably not related to these deaths.

Your options are to either (a) take the vaccine, (b) get the virus, or (c) wear a mask and stay away from other people for the rest of your life. Please reply a, b, or c. For bonus points, you may provide a short rationale fro your decision."

"This is crazy but true..i know a lady who got the virus around Xmas... was bad for 4 weeks.. her teeth are now going grey they are dying..root canals may fix them. Dentist says her blood was so bad due the covid it caused this nightmare.

I've heard things about Covid changing the blood and blood texture

OK this is a post that caught my attention. Please note the word heard and things. I have heard things about covid and the vaccine too. The issue is the narrative is such that this comment about blood will not be questioned, because its about the effects of covid.

However replace covid with the word vaccine, and watch the reaction.

"Wow.

Here was me thinking that immunity to the virus was the best protection against the virus.

Huh. Silly me.

Correct. However We don't have immunity. Sadly these vaccines will offer some increased protection from the effects of the virus. It does not stop us picking it up and spreading it. "

Why sadly? Surely any protection is better than none? It has been shown to reduce transmission so yes, to a certain degree it does reduce the chance of spreading it.

I am playing devils advocate here because I think it is right to challenge black & white thinking when the reality is there are shades of grey in everything in life.

There is a difference between those who have concerns and are vaccine hesitant and those who believe varying levels of conspiracy theory and are anti-vax.

I think people have absolutely every right to be cautious and ask for more information to reassure them about safety.

There is no data (nor can there be) on possible long term health issues/side effects. That scares some people.

Perhaps by having a little more sympathy and understanding for that group and providing positive encouragement, it might help people rather than further alienating them and ultimately entrenching worries.

As for anti vax gang, I agree. Nutters!"

Things are grey...

My sister was put by family on lockdown before the official announcement last March.

With mussing organs we discussed and felt it better.

Although i gave seen her we haven't hugged. Her DIL drops food and the only trips she has done have been 4 hospital appointments.

Now my sister is not anti vax but does want more information about which vaccine may be better / cause her least issues etc... Not it too much to ask

The only response she has so far had is...

"Well if you get ill we will treat you" ??.

Well if anything much starts failing she'd be up shit creek without a paddle... I cant blame her for staying put waiting a while longer...

This is an totally valid reason for delaying vaccination until further information is available relating to best selection of vaccine for medically vulnerable and/or immunosuppressed individuals. For some people the answer may be that it will never be safe and/or effective to be vaccinated against covid, for exactly the same reasons that it is not safe and/or effective for some people to be administered other types of vaccines. Not due to any intrinsic fault with vaccines, just that for these people any type of vaccine is not a suitable treatment.

And it is because there will be some individuals in society who _cannot_ be vaccinated, even though they wish that they could, that it is beholden upon as many other people as possible to do what they can to reduce the prevalence of covid (and other diseases) in the population.

I very much hope that the current vaccination programme does turn out to be effective enough, and has sufficient population uptake across all necessary age groups, such that herd immunity action reduces the levels of infection and it will be possible for your sister to venture out once more.

"For all of you choosing to have the virus. What if the question was regarding the flu. Would you choose to have the flu or have the flu vaccine ?

I am fortunate to have a very strong immune system and have never had the flu jab, I rarely suffer even a normal cold. However, I have had both anti COVID jabs. Why? Because a very good friend of mine had an immune system like mine - strong and hardly ever ailed anything. She caught COVID and almost died. She now has long term covid. She caught COVID just a week before her first jab.

I didn't want to be in that situation so when I got the text offering me the jab I had no hesitation and took it.

I just hope now that the Indian strain of the virus is gaining a small foothold up and down the country, that the refusers reconsider their stance and take the vaccine. If they don't, then that's their absolute right but if the choice boils down to living or dying then I'm sure people would prefer to live. "

I understand 'the fear factor' out there and the reason why people don't hesitate when making their decision about the jab. However, the statistics show you have a 99.98 % survival rate if you get covid. Your chances of survival with the vaccine is far less.

The choice is vaccine, or leave it to Darwin, surely?

I have a (distant) background in science and pharmaceuticals; I’m double-jabbed, regularly tested and sensibly cautious.

I’ve also stood and listened to Piers Corbyn and the anti-vaccine/anti-mask/anti-lockdown group at one of their rallies/protests; read their leaflets and banners. So it is fair to say I have done what I can to form a balanced view.

I chose people that understand science and the vaccine over irrational fearmongering - but of course, as a scientist, I could be wrong (though sufficiently confident that I am not). That’s how science swings, lol.

Completely agree. This should not be about vaccinated people thinking the unvaxxed people are selfish for not getting the jab. Everyones circumstances are different and we should all respect the decisions people make whether they decide to get the jab or not !

You seem to have overlooked the evidence just a little .

Of course vaccines help to protect others. Think of the Measles vaccine and immunity. Those unable to have it, as well as others, have been protected by herd immunity, when a sufficiently high percentage of the population has immunity. Recent outbreaks have occurred because antivax propaganda discouraged people from getting vaccinated. The covid vaccines help to reduce infectivity, supporting fewer people getting infected.

The NHS is protected, due to the lower levels of infectivity and reductions in illness severity and deaths, which would have required NHS resources to support patients. Reduced impacts on the NHS allows it to operate more normally, increasing its effectiveness for treating other conditions etc.

The concern about Antibody Dependant Enhancement potential is if you give the vaccine to healthy people & they get Pathogen Priming, if you then expose them to the virus, they are putting themselves at risk of death from the virus which ordinarily they would fought off with their immune system. We don't know what might happen to people that have been vaccinated and only time will tell. Now you imagine giving these vaccines to healthy people like nurses, doctors, the police...its far too risky from a national security perspective. Having said that, if you still trust the track record of medical safety after reading this, then good luck but this is a scenario which could play out and it would be ignorant for anyone to ignore this.

This is a load of rubbish

One feels that you're out of your depth on this one.

One feels that one cannot be bothered with all the things that are so far beyond wrong."

Oh we all know you can't be bothered...that's why you're so in the dark on the subject.

"Vaccine.

I trust human ingenuity and the track record of medical safety is exemplary (not perfect, but better than the alternative). And eventually even I'll crack being at home all the time.

In the 1940's thousands of prisoners were subjected to horrific medical experiments by the hands of Nazi doctors. When WWII ended, allied forces conducted the Nuremberg trials from which they established the Nuremberg Code, one of the most significant documents in the medical field today. There are NO licenced Covid-19 vaccines today. They have only been apporived as Emergency Use Authorisation (EUAs) only which means it's A TRIAL. Do you know about Antibody Dependant Enhancement or Pathogenic Priming ?. In 2005 they came up with a vaccine for SarsCov1 and they gave it to healthy ferrets (2doses) and the ferrets did fine.

Cobbled together hogwash "

Yet another one that's out of their depth on the subject. Research everything I've written here and report back.

"For those who chose virus, your viral sample is now winging its way towards you from India. The April deliveries were primarily satisfied by our Brazilian subsidiary, but for May we have a new improved version specially cultivated in our Mumbai melting pot. Please take good care of your virus sample and follow the enclosed instruction leaflet for maximum benefit.

I’ll take the South African one thanks - you know the one that came first and was going to cripple us all at New Year. Turned out to be so bad South Africa is now carrying on as normal while we’re scratching around looking for new variants to justify this insanity "

^this^

Finally someone who isn’t blinkered .

"Proven that vaccine is working even again the new variant. If people can't for some reason have the vaccine fair enough, but if they just can't be bothered then they aren't bothered protecting themselves or others

Vaccines do not protect others,just like they dont fully protect the vaccinated.

And they sure as hell dont protect the NHS.

You chose to have the jab,thats your choice,but please stop the sanctimonious crap about being selfish as it just makes me sicker than the virus ever could."

it is your choice not to have the vaccine but it is working and does protect others.

However as long as people are testing regularly and will isolate if they find they have the virus ( as 1 in 3 i think it is have no symptoms) then I dont think its selfish not to have it.

However for me the right decision was to have the vaccine.. Although I'd have had to for my job anyway.
