Post by HJIn the UK (subsequent to a Wuhan family eating their Bat Surprise) it is assessed that 93% have been infected.
The jury is still out on this, depending upon the vaccine regimen, and
indeed on the individual, and the particular variant that caused the
infection vs. the variant challenging the existing immunity.
but the problem initially was those who were (and still are)
immuno-compromised -particularly due to age.
Post by HJBut having 'your jabs' means you still get infected/transmit this virus (+ the myriad mutations): so it's the 'logic' behind attempting to get everyone vaccinated.
There is copious published evidence that the vaccinated not only have a
far lower chance of severe illness, but also transmit less well and for
a shorter period of time.
Post by HJBut why would people with decent immune systems allow a lifetime of Covid injections/pills to be forced on them.
It is not established that a "lifetime" of covid vaccines or
therapeutics will be necessary.
Post by HJIt isn't about being 'anti-vax': people can't be expected to be vaccinated just because someone may be 'at risk'....that person should be innoculated.
You may be aware that large swaths of the world's population has not had
the opportunity to be vaccinated; and many even in the developed world
can not at this time be vaccinated. There is a long, court-tested (at
least in the U.S.) history of mandatory vaccinations.
Post by HJHowever; in the UK some 7 million people are on Statins (and similar for anti-depressants) with 20 million last year taking Influenza shots - so I'm obviously in the non-fucked-up uncaring category.
I fail to see how whether others are on statins or antidepressants (not
meds for communicable disease) says anything about your fuck-uptness one
way or another.
Post by HJRe: 'identity': my approach has never changed - as a 10yo refused 'eyedrops' - because was given no good reason - 12yo refused the 40yo BCG (TB) jab as declined to be Tattooed on my shoulder. 7 months back 'the doc' phoned (never seen in <7 years since the Stroke) who was peddling a 'Pneumonia' jab: I said "that's a new one" - she was obviously rattled by the response.
Mazel tov. Unlike covid-19, pneumococcal pneumonia in the older
populations has a high mortality rate:

Well, that's money--you pay for something you think has value. Even the
tax man.
