Everyone knows it - nothing to do with Covid vaccines really, just conspiracy nuts trying to use A to prove B, when no one is disputing A anyway!

Just like the ‘conspiracy theorists’ were saying 18mths ago! All you've done there is demonstrate that these theories were wrong. Mandatory & paid for jab?. Who has said that is likely or even possible in the UK - other than Youtube nuts? It'll be done in the same way as the flu jabs. Why don't we have to pay for them already, if what you say is true? Or NHS holiday jabs?. Or childhood vaccines?. Think of the profits that could have been made on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has not gone through peer review yet. 2. The research does not draw any relationship between levels of the virus in the body and the transmissibilty of a vaccinated person. In fact the report says it could be the case that a vaccinated person my be infectious for a much shorter period of time, but the researchers have not attempted to measure this.

"Prof Paul Hunter, Professor in Medicine at the University of East Anglia, said: "There is now quite a lot of evidence that all vaccines are much better at reducing the risk of severe disease than they are at reducing the risk from infection. "The main value of immunisation is in reducing the risk of severe disease and death and the evidence available shows that protection lasts longer against severe disease than against mild disease and all current UK vaccines are very good at this even against the Delta variant."

Imagine the backlash if the government (of any country and colour) chose to proritise helping poor nations above fully protecting their own. Isn't that the number 1 priority of any government?. I don't know how many jabs we have shared around the world, so can't really have an opinion on whether it's enough or not.

Presumably it's next month, to coincide with flu jabs starting up. Makes sense to do both, surely?. 35 minutes ago, G STAR RAM said: 'Nobody is safe until the whole world is safe' was the mantra remember. When is the whole world safe, though, if we're talking annual booster jabs being needed for whichever variant happens to be prevalent (as in the case of flu)?. It's going to be a continuous loop as far as I can see, and a country may be "safe" only for a few months at a time.

Frowning boy , anybody who doesn’t bleat the official line is frowned on , tut tutted and called a conspiracy theorist, we are not talking first jab or even second jab here but boosters.
