"Morning Or could it drive you to a false sense of security. FYI, me and my lovely wife had ours a few days ago - we feel safer and at times thinking about visiting family as we have not done for over 18 months but on the odd ocassion we are out to the shops during quite hours = We will contiue to wear our masks in enclosed and crowed spaces to help reduce the risk to other people and a smaller amount of reduced to us. If we all wore masks and most can, trust me, there would be less covid and flu and that's not rocket science. btw, first two jabs were the Astra types and booster, we were offered a choice and went for pizer. NB: no rudeness please as we all have different views." You've made your choice, you feel happier and that's entirely fine. It's nobody esle's business. Good luck. | |||

I am puzzled with the fact you say you were given a choice. If you mean re the vaccine for the booster, there is no AstraZenaca booster... In my area its Pfizer for everyone. | |||
" Your choice. Strange that you feel the need to tell everyone, it's as if you are preaching. But Heyho." nothing "stranger" just sharing my/our views and I believe millions have done so on forums like this. In my OP, I've made it clear that "we are all different" come to this topic. So not sure why you said that, but hey, ho... | |||

You obviously wasted your time asking for no rudeness, some probably won't be able to resist My wife had her booster and mine is booked for a few weeks. There are some signs coming from hospitals in Northern Ireland that immunity has started to wane in those vaccinated early in the program so yes, we will feel safer but we will continue to avoid those who are anti vaxxers and the covidiot types still denying the existence not just because of the Covid risk but mostly because if the mental attitude that's incompatible with our outlook. | |||

"... but we will continue to avoid those who are anti vaxxers and the covidiot types still denying the existence not just because of the Covid risk but mostly because if the mental attitude that's incompatible with our outlook... " Interested to know how you manage to avoid such people unless you question everyone you meet and demand proof of their vaccine status. | |||

That's the point of the forum though, to share experiences, knowledge, opinions etc. | |||
"We have both had Covid and apparently the antibodies you make from having had Covid is far superior to the vaccine" You can't rely on that being the case and the expert advice is that you gain the strongest, longer lasting immunity from having vaccination, after having such an infection. | |||
" we will continue to avoid those covidiot types still denying the existence " I seriously doubt you've actually met anyone like this in real life, nice strawman though. I don't know anyone who is unvaccinated and not been infected, kinda hard to deny to existence of something that infected you. | |||
"We have both had Covid and apparently the antibodies you make from having had Covid is far superior to the vaccine" Interesting, can you share the data for that ? "Apparently" doesn't inspire much confidence to be honest. All I can draw on is that two unvaccinated people I know have actually had Covid twice and the second time was worse | |||

"Apparently" doesn't inspire much confidence to be honest. All I can draw on is that two unvaccinated people I know have actually had Covid twice and the second time was worse " we have heard it on the radio by medical professionals, don’t forget many get ill after having Covid vaccine, we are double jabbed so got plenty of protection | |||

I don't know anyone who is unvaccinated and not been infected, kinda hard to deny to existence of something that infected you. " Well you are 100% WRONG We were arranging a meeting with a couple on fab until they announced that Covid was part of the plandemic and didn't exist and slagged us off for doing lateral flow tests rigged by the pharma companies paid by the WHO They do exist lol | |||
"We have both had Covid and apparently the antibodies you make from having had Covid is far superior to the vaccine" Antibodies are also just a small piece of our immune systems and their levels diminish over time. They can be boosted, via reinfection or vaccines. If you'd relied on the world just using infections to open back up. There would have been catastrophic levels of lives lost and permanent damage to health. We wouldn't have managed the July 'freedom' day without vaccines. | |||

I hang out with a lot of people who believe things I don't about what the government gets up to, real fringe stuff, but I've yet to meet anyone actually denying its existence. | |||

It's a fact, less deaths per 1m than UK and about half the economic destruction. | |||

Can't to the data crunching today. But unless we are saying the vaccine surveillance is duff, it looks fairly clear that vaccines add benefit. | |||

All these extreme measures have simply shifted the burden to other areas. So whilst the over 70s are having a better 2021 than 2020, almost nobody else is. | |||

But I'm happy with the risk and reward balance. " I see it as the country is waist deep in quicksand but won't acknowledge it as long as they can breath, which is obviously the last point. It just been a shock to me how easy people are to divide into groups and set against each other. If I'd known I probably would have gone into politics for a career. | |||
"I would feel safer with the booster, but not to the point where I would take no precautions. I'm due my booster in about 4 weeks. I'll probably go for Moderna if given a choice, but just based on the latest reports I've read re long term efficacy. But all boosters do their job. " Thank you. I would agree with you and in my OP I said we had the choice of the 2 ie pifzer and moderna - and already the latter was a better red but as it was newer we went for the pifzer. however, if we were having our boosters this week, we'd go for the Moderna but having said that, the figures they give often change and it is a newer vaccine. | |||

People are here to deabte and we all have different views and I stated that in my OP, did not need to but did. Sadly, even then you get some rude ones. Me and my family are all for live and let live within the law/etc but we need to use our common sense even though the government all governments are in it for themselves - the people need to be sensible and the way to do that is get a vaccine, wear a mask as per my OP be extra careful and by doing this you are caring about the people around you and if they did the same, I'm sure that there would be less deaths, severe illiness via Covid. Re anti-vaxers, IMO they have a right to air their views but not concentrate big time on any negatives/risks/etc, | |||

Also Sweden's economy suffered more than all the other Nordic countries during the first wave of the pandemic. And finally, Sweden did not lockdown during the first wave, but... they introduced regional lockdowns during the second wave when they realised that their initial 'no-lockdown' policy was a failure. | |||

And I take sensible precautions re covid as I know some people who suffered badly, one of whom was on ventilation for 2 weeks. Do I live in fear of Covid? No. I go to pubs, restaurants, meet friends, visit friends etc. Pretty much as before. But I have altered some behaviours, like when I visit London I avoid rush hour, in congested public spaces I wear a mask. And the upside is that j haven’t had a single cold or illness since first lockdown. I now realise that if I look after myself a little better, some simple adjustments, my quality of life is better. I previously accepted that picking up colds and bugs was just a fact of life, and it really isn’t. Taking a few sensible precautions does not equate to living in fear | |||

Sweden stands out for its greater reliance on voluntary, rather than mandatory, control measures. We explore how the timing and effectiveness of control measures in the UK, Sweden and Denmark shaped COVID-19 mortality in each country, using a counterfactual assessment: what would the impact have been, had each country adopted the others’ policies? Using a Bayesian semi-mechanistic model without prior assumptions on the mechanism or effectiveness of interventions, we estimate the time-varying reproduction number for the UK, Sweden and Denmark from daily mortality data. We use two approaches to evaluate counterfactuals which transpose the transmission profile from one country onto another, in each country’s first wave from 13th March (when stringent interventions began) until 1st July 2020. UK mortality would have approximately doubled had Swedish policy been adopted, while Swedish mortality would have more than halved had Sweden adopted UK or Danish strategies. Danish policies were most effective, although differences between the UK and Denmark were significant for one counterfactual approach only. Our analysis shows that small changes in the timing or effectiveness of interventions have disproportionately large effects on total mortality within a rapidly growing epidemic. | |||

" --------------------------- That's incorrect. The deaths in Sweden is approx. 4 times higher than the combined total deaths in Norway, Denmark and Finland. Also Sweden's economy suffered more than all the other Nordic countries during the first wave of the pandemic. And finally, Sweden did not lockdown during the first wave, but... they introduced regional lockdowns during the second wave when they realised that their initial 'no-lockdown' policy was a failure. Not it's not incorrect because I didn't talk about how it compared to those countries. I said Sweden had much lower deaths per 1m people and less economic destruction that the UK which is completely true so stop trying to shift the goalposts. Except it doesn’t make sense to compare Sweden to the U.K., that’s the problem with your statement. When making comparisons between countries: you compare one country to another comparable country, ie countries with similar demographics. What you are doing is comparing apples with oranges. Just because it's inconvenient to you, doesn't make it apples and oranges. I don't really care what you think of the comparison, it's obvious to me the pro-lockdown crowd don't base their preferences on data and facts. The botton line is that I made a statement and you called it incorrect. It's not incorrect, you just don't like the comparison. At the end of 2020, the UK was one of the top 10 worst countries for covid deaths per 1m and economic destruction. This year the total deaths are not statistically significantly different to last year. Your lot just love restrictions for the feels, the outcomes are terrible. “……….. you just don't like the comparison…..” ——————————— It’s not that I don’t ‘like’ the comparison; its more like your comparison doesn’t make sense. You remember at the beginning of the pandemic when the press conference where held, and they showed us charts about how the U.K. compared to other countries with regards to deaths and infections?? Those charts were comparing the U.K. to West European countries like France and Germany. No comparisons were made between the U.K. and any Scandinavian country - for obvious reasons. It is well and good if you compare an alligator to a crocodile; but when you start comparing an alligator to a tiger…… then you lose credibility in your argument. No all I remember at the start of the pandemic was an idiot called Neil Ferguson who has no medical qualifications nor ever made an accurate forecast in his life. I remember him saying 530,000 would die if we didn't all drop our trousers and do whatever the government said and a bunch of dumb fucks believing it. But you double down on your mistakes, why not at this point. I never mentioned anything about Neil Ferguson, nor did I claim I believed anything he said. Not sure why you are slipping that in. #strawman argument. I just drew your attention to the wrong comparisons you were making. Yeah I'm not sure why you're slipping in a bunch of countries I didn't mention but here we are
I just drew your attention to the bullshit that was used to justify the lockdowns that you're defending. why did you mention Sweden? To make a point about lockdown being bad. Why can't others mention countries that did even better with lockdown?
After all Pro lockdown supporters could mention Singapore...
"Because that would be a very poor understanding of what happened in Singpore. If you wanted to go that route then you'd be better off talking about Australia. I wouldn't recommend it though. | |||

Google night help your research Quote The UK and Sweden have among the worst per-capita COVID-19 mortality in Europe. Sweden stands out for its greater reliance on voluntary, rather than mandatory, control measures. We explore how the timing and effectiveness of control measures in the UK, Sweden and Denmark shaped COVID-19 mortality in each country, using a counterfactual assessment: what would the impact have been, had each country adopted the others’ policies? Using a Bayesian semi-mechanistic model without prior assumptions on the mechanism or effectiveness of interventions, we estimate the time-varying reproduction number for the UK, Sweden and Denmark from daily mortality data. We use two approaches to evaluate counterfactuals which transpose the transmission profile from one country onto another, in each country’s first wave from 13th March (when stringent interventions began) until 1st July 2020. UK mortality would have approximately doubled had Swedish policy been adopted, while Swedish mortality would have more than halved had Sweden adopted UK or Danish strategies. Danish policies were most effective, although differences between the UK and Denmark were significant for one counterfactual approach only. Our analysis shows that small changes in the timing or effectiveness of interventions have disproportionately large effects on total mortality within a rapidly growing epidemic. OK tell me what part of this is confusing you. Deaths per 1m: UK 2,085, 27th in the world Sweden 1,478, 54th in the world. What part of that is giving you difficulty?" You seem to be having difficulty with the fact that Sweden is not the leading example you put it forward as. I didn't write that lot, it's from a scientific journal and not Karen on Facebook. If you do a search here you will find actual reports from real people living in Sweden and how they did voluntarily what the UK had to be forced to do. I really don't get what your angle is anyway, the vaccine is accepted by the majority of people worldwide who want tomger back to a normal life not just an us vs them thing in the UK ??? | |||

I didn't put Sweden forward as a "leading example" so you can stop using the strawman tactic. The comment was made that 'freedom day' wouldn't have been possible without the vaccine, which is utter nonsense. Restrictions are a political decision, they end when the politicians decide they do. You've actually argued against yourself twice because as you say, Sweden isn't even a leading example and it still had less deaths and less economic destruction than the UK! Then you point out that many Swedish people did indeed voluntarily change their own behaviour - yes that's the entire fucking point. That's why idiot predictions like 530,000 deaths are impossible - because people always change their behaviour. Do you really not understand the difference between doing something voluntarily and being forced to do something? Try it in your own marriage ffs - the difference between voluntarily making dinner for your partner or telling them they will do it or else, see how the latter goes down. Also Karen on Facebook doesn't produce the stats I cited so no idea why you are using that language. | |||

"You're spot on with that. Natural immunity may and probably does last a lifetime and will also be effective against any variants. Medical immunity only looks for one area of the virus, ie, the spike protein. Any difference will be missed. This is why the vaccines are so leaky and the jabbed and boosted are still contracting the virus. There is also a strong possibility of ADE occuring. This will result in a compromised immunity against other viruses. This was predicted by many Drs who were vilified at the time. This is happening now and of course no apologies to the likes of Dr Mike Yeadon, ex VP of Pfizer. I don't understand why anyone that questions the shoddy science is seen as a heretic and an anti-vaxxer. The population has been terrified into submission and indoctrinated with lies through relentless media and government propaganda. The same is happening, sadly, about climate change. What is happening to science is truly worrying. " Genuine question, the vaccines work by targeting the spike protein, right? The furin cleavage site is part of the spike protein? | |||

If the (evenmore than vast majority) of the scientific community say we should have vaccines, maintaon social distancing when possible, and wear masks, then who am i to disagree?

At the end of the day it’s a cold with a cough …. My immune system is working just fine and doing what it is supposed to do "Ignoring that the virus evades the innate immune system…and that 20%+- of those infected will recover but have no antibodies to the virus. And 38% of those with asymptomatic infections will not produce neutralising antibody (those that do will have it wane after a few months) | |||

"Our analysis also found asthma and nicotine dependence were associated with reinfection," said lead researcher Adnan I. Qureshi, MD
"Maybe you had Alpha variant the first time, and then this nasty Delta variant came around, and then you got infected by Delta variant, so I think that's sort of explains why people are getting reinfected,"
Last line of both sources read:
1. Of the 63 who were reinfected, two (3.2%) died.
2. The Department of Health and Human Services said of the 10,812 reinfection cases, 94 people have died.
FACT: you can be reinfected with covid. Sometimes the reinfection can be worse - leading to death.
I've provided enough evidence on Tegnell's U-turn, and provided evidence on covid re-infection ( which can sometimes be worse that the first infection).
Seems like you prefer to stick to your narrative; even when there is so much facts & evidence stacked up against your narrative.
"No, I just know that anyone who actually checks what you're saying will see who is right and nothing I say will convince you so I don't really bother arguing with you directly. You're making it sound like it's pot luck how the reinfection goes when in reality the sources say that reinfection is rare, usually a new variant and worse in people with crap health (e.g. smokers). You're pointing the the exceptions and claiming them as the rule. | |||
"I’m perfectly safe as I currently have Covid and will therefore have natural immunity …
Not everyone who gets covid produces anti bodies (according to latest studies)
That’s true
Plus even those who produce antibodies, the antibodies can wane over time.
Some people who have had covid before have been reinfected, and in some cases the second infection has been worse.

EXERPT : The researchers teamed up with the MU Institute for Data Science and Informatics and the Tiger Institute for Health Innovation to review data from 62 U.S. health care facilities. They found 63 of the 9,119 patients (0.7%) with severe COVID-19 infection contracted the virus a second time, with a mean reinfection period of 116 days. Of the 63 who were reinfected, two (3.2%) died.
ANOTHER SOURCE :GREENVILLE, N.C. (WITN) - State health officials say nearly 11,000 people in North Carolina have been reinfected with COVID-19, dispelling a common belief that you can’t get the virus a second time.
The Department of Health and Human Services said of the 10,812 reinfection cases, 94 people have died.

""....You're pointing the the exceptions and claiming them as the rule...." ------------------------------- I never claimed anything was a "rule" My exact statement above was: "SOME people who have had covid before have been reinfected, and in SOME cases the second infection has been worse." The operative word there being 'SOME' (ie not all cases) You then ask me for sources to prove my statement. I supplied you with the relevenat sources. But even in the face of all the evidence you are still in denial. Let me help you out with a few more sources: The Telegraph dated 13 October 2020 - 1. An elderly woman in the Netherlands has become the first reported person to have died after getting reinfected with Covid-19. 2. It comes as a 25-year-old man in Nevada with no known health problems has caught the virus twice, with the second infection more severe. | |||
