Re: Excess Deaths Continue
Mate , it doesn’t prevent transmission, it’s acknowledged everywhereOriginally posted by lardy View PostThere are degrees of transmission. It's not binary, 1 or 0.

Most papers to date (notably, many are preprints and have yet to be peer reviewed) indicate vaccines are holding up against admission to hospital and mortality, says Linda Bauld, professor of public health at the University of Edinburgh, “but not so much against transmission.”

Re: Excess Deaths Continue
No but it stops the infection developing severe symptoms in people, thus preventing bed blockage for those who need treatment urgently. Also the more people are vaccinated the easier it becomes to control the infection.Originally posted by TWGL1 View PostHuh ? Being vaccinated doesn’t prevent transmission.
The key is to protect the majority population

But it doesn’t prevent transmission so the people who are unvaccinated pose a minimal risk to the vaccinated as the vaccine should do it’s jobOriginally posted by Dorcus View PostNo but it stops the infection developing severe symptoms in people, thus preventing bed blockage for those who need treatment urgently.

If you think it’s acceptable to segregate non vaccinated, which could be for many many reasons then I cannot take you seriously either.

Re: Excess Deaths Continue
Covid 19 was a very infectious virus.Originally posted by TWGL1 View PostFair enough , I’m on a phone
Imagine someone gets it, and coughs and splutters for seven days. Maybe it only feels like a bad cold, they're generally ok, but they have the symptoms.
Now imagine that another vaccinated person gets it and feels bad for a day but doesn't really cough much (which was my experience). They have much reduced symptoms.
Which person do you think will infect more people?

It's 2023, I can't believe we're having the same conversations that we had in 20 and 21.
