QuitYourJibbaJivin Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Will be interesting to see the reaction when the unvaccinated have been outcast for 2 weeks and their cases numbers haven’t dropped. Who will they blame then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my experience, due to waning immunity of the vaccine, the vaccinated are just as easily spreading it amongst themselves now. So I don’t believe there will be a noticeable drop just from taking a very small number of unvaccinated people out of the cycle.

No one has mentioned custodial sentences - only fines Quote The government says police will carry out spot checks in public spaces to determine the vaccination status of individuals, and issue fines to those caught breaking the rules. Austria's health ministry says anyone who violates the lockdown for the unvaccinated could be fined €500 (£426; $572), while a penalty of €1,450 could be incurred for refusing to participate in checks.

tinman Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 14 hours ago, ramit said: These draconian measures being meted out in Austria are clearly not to protect people's health, keeping in mind that the Covid infection rate is highest in countries where most people are jabbed. We have 82% double jabbed here, yet set records every day in infections and two thirds of the seriously ill are double jabbed. Vaccinated infect others too, yet somehow the non vaccinated are a threat to the vaccinated who received their vaccinations as a protection against the virus seriously damaging their health. Thank you for highlighting your complete and utter inability to understand the stats to prove exactly the opposite to what you were trying to above. ramit and Reggie Greenwood 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is virtually no difference between vaccinated and unvaccinated re. transmission 12 weeks following your jab - I posted a study about this a while back.

If you stop thinking about individuals and think about the whole population, think how to control the rate of reproduction, you start to understand these measures are positive and will help limit the spread. ariotofmyown and RoyMac5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the same study as the one quoted in the Guardian article I posted. For the sake of accuracy the 40-50% reduction in transmission referred to the Alpha variant. Delta variant stats are as follows; 'a fully vaccinated contact has a 25% chance of catching the virus from an infected household member while an unvaccinated contact has a 38% chance of becoming infected.' 'the analysis further suggests that whether an infected individual is themselves fully vaccinated or unvaccinated makes little or no difference to how infectious they are to their household contacts.'

There certainly is and it’s blown a massive hole In things like vax passports and shown them up for what they really are, a tool for coercion. My father in law infected his wife and my dad on the same day and they’ve all had both jabs. I’ve had neither but was the only who didn’t get it, mainly because I’d already had it a few weeks earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot of data in the article and the 40-50% reduction in transmission refers to the alpha variant, not the delta variant. In fact, it doesn't refer to the transmissibility of the delta variant at all. The article actually states 'the analysis further suggests that whether an infected individual is themselves fully vaccinated or unvaccinated makes little or no difference to how infectious they are to their household contacts.' The 38%-25% refers to how likely you are to catch covid re. your vaccination status; 'a fully vaccinated contact has a 25% chance of catching the virus from an infected household member while an unvaccinated contact has a 38% chance of becoming infected.' And that wouldn't be 40-50% anyway, just 13%. To have 50% less chance of catching covid it would have to be 100-50%, 90-40%, etc Lies, damn lies and statistics - I remember that from my school days ?

I've pretty much give up trying to look at stats on this stuff as it's pretty apparent that so much boils down to the individual's immune system and what it's up to on any given day - all these studies are just drawing broad strokes based on relatively small samples Using them to try and argue with strangers on the internet is rarely productive. Chances are that both of you and neither of you are right at the same time But anyway - booked my booster for 27th. Stick that baby in me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
