I am still waiting for you to tell us where you studied medicine and where you studied medical science. People also understand that your selfish reasons for not getting a vaccine will endanger the lives of those who can not have vaccines for medical reasons. You think that I am full of spite but your selfishness in truth could see innocent people die. Now which do you think is worse? My spite or your selfishness?

From the US CDC official website updated Jan5 2021 I have underlined the pertinent section.: "All COVID-19 vaccines currently available in the United States have been shown to be highly effective at preventing COVID-19. . " Further more it goes on to say : " Based on what we know about vaccines for other diseases and early data from clinical trials, experts believe that getting a COVID-19 vaccine may also help keep you from getting seriously ill even if you do get COVID-19." https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/vaccine-benefits.html If it is true it will be the first vaccine that has done what you say. If it is true why is the information put out that you can still get the virus a second time even if you have had the vaccine?

The Spanish flu was new to humans, just crossed over from birds, which can cause mutations and very severe pandemics. SARS2 just now crossed over from Bats. It is now starting to show significant mutations. SARS2 is far more unique that the Spanish flu. (forget colds, not the same) SARS2 is the first ever virus in humans that broadly attacks our ACE2 receptors found everywhere in the body. That is why so many different organs can get infected. The Spanish flu was just another flu, except it had just crossed from birds. There is real reason to be cautious about SARS-2, especially because it is so infective and can spread silently.

There is always cause for concern when a virus is totally unrelated to any known virus. Covid is not like that though there are at least 4 types of Corona strains in Covid including the Flue and the common cold. So this is not a totally unknown virus. Governments though are lumping Flu in with this, a virus that kills many every year but we dont lock down for it and the common cold for which there is no vaccine. With SAR's we did not lock down, with Flu we dont, for MER's we didnt. Get the picture? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The common cold ones do not attack your ACE2 receptors, completely different mechanism. MERS is a corona virus, mortality rate ~30%, but does not spread. Coronavirus has nothing to so wth flus. SARS-1 never spread, only a few cases, 700+ died. Airports were empty in Asia. SARS-2 now 100,000,000+ cases and rising at an increasing rate.

I see you understand what I am saying. If the vaccine, which we know it isnt, a fix for the virus then it would b great but we are still told to live our lives exactly the same as if we have not had the jab. Something in my mind does not add up when a vaccine means the way you live is the same as when you had not had it. You are, if you believe the Politicians, just as likely to spread it, just as likely to contract it again. So please, if you can give me a compelling advantage that the vaccine gives you?

With the Oxford vaccine after the initial shot and 7~10 days later anyone who got COVID19 after that did not need to be hospitalised. If I catch a cold I don’t go to hospital in the same way once I’ve got the first Oxford shot I will not need to go to hospital if I contract Covid19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many virologists who have said, go to BMA and Lancet plus USA equivalents, the panic that is generated is unjustified. Statistics, go to the ONS (Office of National Statistics) do not show a high mortality from th virus.and the government was using solid verifiable data no one would question it but the data they are using is selected to give the impact they desire and much of it is old and out of date. Here in Italy the minister for health a while back made a statement that the people that died all were over 80 and all had at least 3 under laying health conditions. Check the ONS you will find it interesting 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant think of one As we said it's not 100% effective and it wears out after a certain time, so we still need to be carefull. as far as the "fix" is concerned , it works in the following way, In order that the virus spreads it needs new hosts , so imagine that there is only one person infecter, and 7.6 billion possible hosts that can receive the virus from that one host. now if we could vaccinate a 100 people that can't be infected and form a wall around that one infected person the viruce is effectively neutralized. The infected person will either recover or die, either way the virus if eliminated unless it remains dormant, or is re-introduced from the wilde. That's how we brahe the virus's back. It is a simplistic explanation to be sure, and there are other components to consider, but for the purpose of this conversation adequate IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
