Not that it wouldn't be a good idea to get vaxxed in the first
place - if not for your own benefit, for that of who you may
spread the nasty to.
That is true.
Is it?
I'm not for one second saying you shouldn't get vaxxed I have, I've
had all 3 offered. They may help me cope and hopefully recover should
I get infected. But if you believe that those vaccines will protect
you against getting Omicron or will prevent you spreading it you've
not been paying attention, even researchers are admitting this now.
Try looking at the triple jabbed, mask wearing, passport weilding
Israel where they're now doing their fourth jab and their infection
rate only a couple of days ago was near a vertical line on the graph.
Israel is not alone.
The entire argument of get vaxxed to protect others has collapsed
with vaccine dodging Omicron, though get vaxxed to protect the NHS
load, still may have some milage left.
Sorry, not anti-vax but facing the truth.
Bob.
Oh crap. I misread the post that I was replying to. English is hard
sometimes. Thanks for pointing that out Bob.
I'm not vaccinated. I just don't see the point in it. I'm young
and relatively healthy. I've had COVID and it's not as bad to me as
it were for other people.
I agree. All this time I always thought that once you're vaccinated that
you'll be immune to a particular disease or at the very best you'll
exhibit extremely minor symptoms of it. I am vaccinated against
chickenpox and when we had a minor outbreak of it here I just had one
small chickenpox thing in my arm.
Somehow, being vaccinated in 202{1,2} means that you'll still get the
disease and exhibit symptoms (but it's not going to be worse?) and that
you'll still transmit the virus (but it's not as much?) or if you do
die from COVID (that your death will be less painful?).
My girlfriend got COVID last year. She was fully vaccinated then and she
had it really bad. She lost her sense of taste and almost lost her
voice because she was coughing really hard. She also had a really high
fever that lasted for a week and she wasn't alright for two weeks after
that. It's been about a few months now and certain foods still doesn't
taste right for her.
When I got COVID early this year, I just had a really bad fever for
three days and mild cough for the next five. By day 8, I'm
practically back to working order.
So yeah, I never really understood the urgency and doomsaying of those
people that wants everyone to take the vaccine. If the vaccine immunizes
the ones who took it then those people shouldn't be concerned about the
other unvaccinated people spreading it because they're already
immunized.
Or am I wrong and I don't understand how vaccines work?
