That's interesting Randy. It would be interesting to see the same study for astra zeneca and the peer reviews.

It will perhaps make a mockery of those wanting enforced out coerced vaccinations.

Are you suggesting enforced infection? If not, it has no relevance to the need for everyone to be vaccinated.

Nope bear, I am suggesting we wait until the study has been reviewed, perhaps look at the AZ vaccination and see how much long term protecting it gives versus natural immunity and don't vaccinate kids yet until we know more.

People need to have all the information before deciding how to proceed.

The article suggests that the better long term policy may have been to only vaccinate the vulnerable.

I have no idea and would like to know more, wouldn't you?

AZ's long term protection is seemingly longer-lasting than Pfizer, but seemingly getting both doses of the vaccine (any), waiting for a few weeks and then getting infected (or exposed to the virus) is by far the longest protection.

The risk of practically everything is lower with the vaccines though, including blood clots etc. There is a higher rate of blood clots in the naturally infected than in the vaccinated, for example.

You don't get to have all the information, you have to make a choice based on the most up to date info we have, which has always been for practically everyone to get vaccinated before they get exposed to the virus, which is a practical certainty.

Waiting for more information can, in most cases, be far more costly than just working on the best available info and going with it, this was calculated when the vaccines were being shown as likely to be approved, and is more truthful now than ever, especially since Alpha and Delta.

I think bear made a fair response to your sensationalist last sentence to be honest.

I didn't think it was sensationalist to be honest. It reflects what the article says, albeit unreviewed at the minute.

Maybe targetting vaccinations for all isn't the right strategy.

Now accusing someone who doesn't get vaccinated as a granny murderer, now that is sensationalist.

Of course better immunity from an infection than a jab

but if you get covid without a jab you have more chance of being hospitalised and more chance of dying.

that’s right?

Basically those who are vaccinated, older and have higher health risks have lower immunity than a younger person who has been infected but not vaccinated. The population of aged fully vaccinated people is relatively small. It'll be interesting to see how the peer reviews raise alternative conclusions.
 
It's looking more and more likely that this will become an endemic and we'll have to modify vaccines to cope with whichever variant is dominant from year to year.
Given that Covid is far more infectious than the flu then we'll also have to accept some restrictions regarding masks, distancing and ultimately numbers allowed in venues.
You'd also hope that Covid might mutate into a milder form eventually, but so far it looks like variants are getting worse than better.

Drop in cases due to bank holiday, presumably.

There was signs of it levelling and even dropping, even before the BH weekend, especially in England and even more so if you remove the "boardmasters effect", which was well absorbed.

The below is from the 28th for England:

There will probably be a BH catchup/ high mixing weekend spike, but it will likely dissipate over a couple of days, and in a week or so we should know better where we're at. Seems like we're always saying this mind!

Then it's a case of what schools reopening does, my guess is the trend down may get levelled for a while, which would be ok all things considered. Then just need to see what winter does, but with vaccines being offered to vulnerable 12-15 already and likely all 12-15's in the coming weeks, then we're going to be in a good position.

We're also below all the main models, and around now is the point where most of them were expected to be at their peak.
