It doesn't, it simply prevents hospitalisation ?? You are wrong. People who claim vaccination stops you getting and spreading COVID are also wrong. That’s not what most people here are saying though, which is precisely why Wullie brought up seatbelts. It’s not about absolutes, it’s almost never about absolutes, that’s not how any of this works. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(21)00690-3/fulltext As you suggest, it reduces the severity of symptoms and thus reduces the chances of hospitalizations. But it also increases the rate at which viral density decreases in a patient, although the article suggests that the peak viral load is the same in both unvaxxed and vaxxed. Take all those people at V.D.’s party. They all caught the virus and so presumably had similar viral loads. The vaxxed ones will have seen that density decrease faster, and so given that a higher density means more infectiousness they are less likely to transmit the virus when they go back to their privileged media luvvie lives.

Over 50% of those with Omicron are double or triple jabbed. Is everyone happy with subscribing to mandatory boosters every 6 months? Also from what you claim, are unvaccinated people causing the spread of the virus over vaccinated. I think I just feel unvaccinated don't pose a threat to the rest of us like a lot of people vaccinated like to make out, they pose a threat to themselves if they become more seriously ill. Again a choice I feel they can make themselves. Edited December 14, 2021 by mighty__mag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, its no great effort on my part to make sure I don't end up taking up a vital hospital bed, as well as reducing the risk of passing it on to those less vulnerable. I feel I'd be selfish to do otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happinesstan Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 1 hour ago, 1964 said: From the Lancet, however this may have been disproved by some guy in his garage on YouTube To address the primary study outcome to establish the secondary attack rates (SARs) in household contacts, the vaccination statuses for 232 contacts exposed to 162 epidemiologically linked delta-variant-infected index cases were analysed. The SARs in household contacts exposed to the delta variant was 25% in vaccinated and 38% in unvaccinated contacts. These results underpin the key message that vaccinated contacts are better protected than the unvaccinated My question had nowt to do with the bolded bit. We all know that the vaccinated are better protected. The question is whether or not their added protection also reduces their risk to others. Leffe has explained it though, in his own words too, so thanks but no thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again a choice I feel they can make themselves. As we have seen for month after month now, the biggest threat the unvaccinated pose to the rest of us is not that they are more likely to transmit the virus - although they are - but that they will take up more healthcare resources. Most concerningly, ICU beds. And please, please, for the love of God, stop asking “is everybody happy” with this. Nobody’s fucking happy with any of this. It’s a pandemic. We just want to find the best way out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Merse Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 And what if someone had the virus prior to vaccine rollout so therefore has natural immunity but has a history of problems with myocarditis so is therefore reluctant to take something which could be fatal for no good reason - anti Vax?

Jog on That natural immunity will wear off, as the vaccine immunity does too - hence why it’s important to get your vaccine 28 days after testing positive. Find it absolutely bizarre that people are too thick and/or selfish to have a vaccination to protect themselves and others. Lets ignore the advice of medical professionals, scientists and experts… I qualified at the University of Facebook. Remember when the antivaxxers were obsessed with counting deaths relating to the vaccine? Well, there have been nine reported deaths due to a Covid vaccination* in the UK… from 122,178,898 doses. A 1 in 13,575,433 chance. I reckon you’ll be fine taking that jab. For comparison, 1 in 63 people who test positive die of Covid. That’s a stark difference to 1 in 13m. *Source: https://blog.ons.gov.uk/2021/10/04/how-many-people-have-died-as-a-result-of-a-covid-19-vaccine/amp/ Edited December 14, 2021 by Fantail Breeze Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a simple assumption to make that the vaccinated are protected. Your failure to comprehend such a simple question suggests you probably don't even understand what you cut and pasted.
