    Expected isn't it? i.e. the vaccine doesn't stop you getting infected or spreading it, it's aim is to stop you getting it severely as the immune system will be prepped ready for it.

    So all those front line staff getting the vaccine is so they can continue working, not to stop them spreading it. Though if it reduces symptoms such as cough then it's harder to spread.

    US Representative Kevin Brady, the top Republican on the House of Representatives tax-writing Ways and Means Committee, said on Tuesday that he had tested positive for coronavirus weeks after receiving a first dose of the Pfizer Inc COVID-19 vaccine

    Nigerian variant of covid is causing more sever symptoms.

    I bet it also sends an email and asks to transfer money to a nigerian prince.

    Good thing mRNA tech is much more easily adjustable than classic vaccines.

    On what?

    We spent a happy rainy weekend rebuilding our outdoor run, just what we wanted to be crawling around in muck. Half my tools are still caked in ****.

    In India there are large number of birds dying due to bird flu.

    More risk of dying of suicide than covid if under 50.

    Too many bedwetters scared of their own shadow advising the muppet show, aka government. Isolate the truly vulnerable until they get a vaccine and the rest of us take responsibility for our own health and future, it's called being adults. I'd sign a waiver that I won't trouble the NHS unless in a life or death situation. They'll be less busy with that approach than all the malingerers piling into A&E with a stubbed toe during normal times.
    Loads of under 50s are infected and in hospital. I know two neighbours under 25 who died of c-19. The main point of a lockdown is to ease pressure on the hospitals. There are too many selfish c***s who don't follow the rules and are causing the spread of the virus. It's OK for you until your son or daughter dies of covid.

    So how long do we go on like this, living as though the purpose of life is to avoid death?
