The HPV virus is easily transmissible?" Yes, but by engaging in sex you engage in risk of STIs. It's a bit different with, like, breathing. Also: there's a jab for that  | |||

For example
Not yet conclusive but difficult to measure. I might have overstated it, the data is still forthcoming, but to say that they *don't* prevent transmission is no longer a true statement."It's true until evidence is presented to the contrary. A few snippets saying there might be a case to show reduced transmissions does not quantify your theory. The pharma companies fell short of their promises and theories of sars-cov over 20 years ago. Do you honestly think they'll make that same mistake again ? That "all eradicating" vaccine never transpired.... | |||

"You do know the vaccine protects you not others?" Actually its looking very likely that having the vaccine limits the transmission by at least 30% after 2 to 3 weeks of having the first vaccination. Also the more people that have the vaccine the more protection for all. Over half the adult population of the UK have now had at least one shot but we need at least another 30% to have it to get a very good change of herd immunity. | |||

It's very simple because to get heard immediately we need another 30%. Also it takes upto 3 weeks until any protection from the vaccine. Why do you think most restrictions aren't being lifted until mid May? | |||

"Why would you want to disciminate against those that havnt had it.its only flu" 15 months of research, testing, investigation, funding, virtually every expert on biology in the world looking at C19. And people still think it's the flu.

"Why would you want to disciminate against those that havnt had it.its only flu" The president of Tanzania also said covid was cured with 3 days of prayer and since then there was no single case reported officially in the country. At the same time people kept dying in abnormal rates for months. This week the president of Tanzania died from complications from covid-19. The mortality of covid is at least 300% above the worst flu mortality we have seen. Transmission rate is far higher in covid. The risk of severe respiratory complications and need for intense care is also much higher. Post infections diseases like diabetes, kidney failure and others are far more prevalent in surviving covid patients too.

" Speculative opinion 
The stuff I linked to includes preprints. Which means a) academic research has been conducted to rigorous standards, b) it's been cross checked within the institution by the experts conducting it, and c) they think it's good enough to be published, so d) they've sent it out. They just need it to be checked by other experts unrelated to the research (peer review).
The fact that this doesn't suit your narrative and you don't understand the scientific process is not my problem. | |||

One, not all vaccinated people develop protection, or that protection might wane (this is particularly true in older people, but also immune suppressed people, including those with cancer). Those people deserve protection. Two, there are those who can't be vaccinated: they deserve protection. Three: we reach herd immunity by getting a maximal number of people vaccinated, so that our personal risk in taking the vaccine (all intervention carries risk) will be of maximal benefit to society. Four: the more unvaccinated people there are, the more chance the virus has to mutate and we start all this again. I want to see my mum before 2030  | |||

What i don’t understand is i get what people are saying about herd immunity etc, and they say everyone should be vaccinated (except those who can’t medically). A handful at least ive spoken to on travels woth work (even some vulnerable) say they wont get vaccinated, im my mind thats fair enough who am i to judge them, I guess even more won’t get vaccinated with some countries putting a hold of the AZ, people can and should be able to have a choice. Ive had my first jab and have second booked in May. What I wonder is we won’t get to the stage of herd immunity and probably less so with the worries about potential problems with vaccinations so they say. So it makes you wonder whats the point because it will still keep spreading. Im glad ive had my first and will be getting my second, but i kind of think im doing this just for my own protection selfishly. | |||

This is why some of us keep banging on about the importance of everyone who medically can being vaccinated. Because the only alternative is that covid keeps spreading, and new strains keep emerging, and all the sacrifices over the last twelve months trying to keep the lid on it will have been utterly meaningless. | |||

Yes i agree but i was just thinking about the people who won’t, i have no problem with that because its their choice, but it makes me think realistically there will be a hell of alot of people who decide not too, so ddoes thay mean it will keep going round and round, i can’t wait for normality and a decent night out, but def going to be wary of people. | |||

" No, it's not, but it's topical at the moment. If people having a debate, in an optional forum where Covid is actually the topic, gets other people's backs up... I'm not sure what to say about that. Are we not allowed to express our views? I don't expect my views to go unchallenged, but I cannot fathom why everyone cannot say what their position is. My view exists, my freedom of expression remains (as does yours). And we need to exist with each other's views in a pluralistic world. | |||

Crack on and bang on at people all you like then. It won’t make them change their mind when you keep trying to ram the importance of a vaccination down their throat. They will make their choice to have the vaccine or not regardless. | |||

"So, for a person like me who lacks any real scientific knowledge, can someone give me a simple yes or no answer to this question, disregarding reasons why a person is not vaccinated against C19. Who is most at risk, the vaccinated or the unvaccinated person? Unvaccinated. (But. There's a lot of but.) Ok. Why are vaccinated people concerned about the unvaccinated being in close contact with them? If you assume that I have very limited knowledge of the but bits you'd be correct. One, not all vaccinated people develop protection, or that protection might wane (this is particularly true in older people, but also immune suppressed people, including those with cancer). Those people deserve protection. Two, there are those who can't be vaccinated: they deserve protection. Three: we reach herd immunity by getting a maximal number of people vaccinated, so that our personal risk in taking the vaccine (all intervention carries risk) will be of maximal benefit to society. Four: the more unvaccinated people there are, the more chance the virus has to mutate and we start all this again. I want to see my mum before 2030 "OK, thank you. What percentage take up is needed to achieve herd immunity? | |||

OK, thank you.
What percentage take up is needed to achieve herd immunity? "It varies by vaccine and so can be uncertain. The higher the level of efficacy in the real world, the smaller the proportion of people vaccinated to achieve it may be. In trials, which may be different to real world situations, it was very high efficacy. Israeli studies have reflected this in the real world. Figures between 65-90% have been bandied about for herd immunity levels. The higher the efficacy, the lower the number needed to potentially reach herd immunity. If I see recent estimates, I'll add them. 80% would likely be achieved here, due to high levels of take up, though children aren't being vaccinated - if children aren't major sources of infection to others, it doesn't matter as much if not vaccinated | |||

What percentage take up is needed to achieve herd immunity? "I don't know for Covid vaccines. In general, it depends on the vaccine effectiveness, the degree of antigenic drift (mutations/ variants - some variants make vaccines less effective as we're seeing), and the R0 of the vaccine. (I believe that for measles, it's an extremely effective vaccine but the R0 of 15-20 means that herd immunity requires over 90% coverage. I gather that's an extreme example) Basically, herd immunity is building a fence around the vulnerable people, and I want that fence to be as strong as possible so *everyone* can live without fear again. | |||

"High unlikely. Its well documented now that the vaccine doesn't stop you from catching it and passing it on," You are right there and one still have to keep the distance and to wear a mask. I think that it would take a long time before this sector can open as close contact is a big no no, maibe just for socials or maiby not. | |||

"Will any swinging clubs be bringing in a "proof of vaccination before entry is allowed" policy?" I think it is highly likely as they wont want public attention as a outbreak and local authority would only need a decent excuse to close them. | |||

"You do know the vaccine protects you not others? Actually its looking very likely that having the vaccine limits the transmission by at least 30% after 2 to 3 weeks of having the first vaccination. Also the more people that have the vaccine the more protection for all. Over half the adult population of the UK have now had at least one shot but we need at least another 30% to have it to get a very good change of herd immunity. We have already established that there's no evidence of this, just speculative opinion. This vaccine responds to systemic infection and not mucosal infection which is how the virus is transmitted. Sorry who has a stablished this because it was widely reported that scientists have confirmed that the vaccinations limit transmission I think I would rather listen to a scientist thank you. " Not widely established at all. It's speculation and based upon some assumptions, which isn't 'science' as some seem to keep banging on about in the hope of shutting up those who are far more cautious. There cauld also be a number of other reasons for reduced transmission not directly related to anyone being vaccinated. I'm sure the debate will continue though. | |||
