Coronavirus

From https://www.sciencenews.org/article...s-questions-social-distance-mask-transmission

Can you still get infected, and infect others, if you get vaccinated?
Possibly. None of the vaccines tested so far have been 100 percent effective so some vaccinated people may still catch the coronavirus.

What’s more, neither the Pfizer nor the Moderna vaccine trials tested whether the vaccines prevent people from being infected with the virus. Those trials, instead, focused on whether people were shielded from developing disease symptoms. That means that it’s not clear whether vaccinated people could still develop asymptomatic infections — and thus still be able to spread the virus to others.

In both trials, some people who got the vaccine did get sick with COVID-19, but not as sick as those who got placebos. One vaccine recipient became severely ill in the Pfizer study compared with nine in the placebo group (SN: 11/18/20). No one who got the Moderna vaccine became severely ill, while 30 people who got the placebo developed severe disease (SN: 11/30/20).

 

Coronavirus is right wing?

Didn't know that, fair play.

Congratulations to the Labour Party though for finding the vaccine and that, bravo.

 

It’s not really my fault if you insist on being an obtuse old git about it. I just stated one big factor in why it’s necessary to repeat the messaging even if it is boring and you personally don’t need to be reminded.

 

I don't need reminding, no.

I'm not really that interested in anything you've got to say tbf.

I'm sure Archie is around somewhere so you can jointly put your this is all the Tories fault slant on things, but I was merely making an observation on how the media is portraying this and speaking to someone else about the vaccine, without bringing any politics into it.

Cheers though.

 

As long as we’re aligned that it’s all the Tories’ fault that’s fine.

 

Awesome.

 

80% of the vulnerable should be enough to get back to some sort of normal.

I don't think it'll ever completely go away.

 

Interesting. I always thought a vaccine offers an immune response. As sad as this may seem I've just gone and read up on the CDC about wtf a vaccine actually is. It seems there are 3 types which fight viruses, but they all talk of providing an immune response so I'm even more confused. Which is even worse considering the fact I did my degree in Biochemistry. I'm glad (and I'm sure the world will be) that I didn't pursue a career in it

 

Really? You’re dragging me into this?

Quit windmilling ffs. It’s embarrassing

 

my simplistic understanding is your immune system will "attack" the invading virus but it may not stop you being infected as though it limits the amount of virus cells you have and therefore limiting the effects you may still have enough virus load to be infectious .

PS I have a degree in blagging

 

Don't be embarrassed mate, as long as you and Windy are aligned, everything is ok.

 

Welcome to Tier 4, everyone: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-55489932

 

My understanding is that experts argue that most of the immunity comes from the first jab, so it would be better to give as many as they can the first dose before doing the second.

 

****sake. I've been put in to tier 3! Pissed off now. ****ing disease spreading londoners.

 

We're going into Tier 4. I'd like to thank all the ****s out there who made this possible.

 

There'll be tiers before bedtime...

 

I blame you Archie, you helped them get out of London!

 

Yeah, sorry bout that mate. When some bloke with a Manchester accent and a load of luggage asked me how to get to Euston, I should have called the cops.

 

No mate, if you see Scousers with a load of luggage you call the cops.

The folk from Hull you shoot in the head like The Walking Dead.
