So you develop an adverse reaction, and then? All's hunky dory, right? WRONG! There is no guarantee that any of the current CoVid vaccines will/can prevent hospitalisation at all.

Oh god, you're one of those where everything has to be spelled out for you...
The vaccines prevent hospitalizations from Covid-19 in the vast majority of cases

 

[Paulsie]

Which specific actions? The UK gov have been pretty commendable with the rollout of those spiteful vaccines that are ruining their lockdown plans.

The actions where masks and social distancing are likely only be relaxed when the rest of the world has been vaccinatied. Keep up with the posts!!

Said no-one ever. The vaccine reduces the need for hospitalization, it does not prevent it. Vast difference.

Yes, you are as you obviously cannot read, nor comprehend. There is a vast difference between reduce and prevent. Look it up.

I mean, there was literally a study published a few days ago stating that the AZN vaccine had 100% prevention against hospitalisation. Let's assume this is actually 99%, does that mean it doesn't class as prevention in your definition?

Maybe this sort of information doesn't make it into the completely detached world you live in?

You can get Covid-19 after a vaccine but it's rare, 2 new studies find | Businessinsider

A handful of "breakthrough" cases have popped up post-vaccine, but it's no reason for concern - just a reminder not to throw out your mask.

Suggest you keep up with the actual information:

COVID-19 Response - Spring 2021 (Summary)

Refer to the last paragraph for June and tell me again what I've missed.

Every single item published so far that I have read states that the vaccine reduces the need for hospitalization and prevents death - not the other way around.

As for the AZN-vaccine claim: no comment, as it has probably not been tested in SA yet.

Wouldn't be surprised if an invite found it's way to you within a week or 2

Having the jab tomorrow morning.

Did you get 2nd sms?

Like what kind of adverse reactions are you talking about? Some very small number of people have had anaphylaxis / severe allergic reaction to receiving their vaccines, but given close proximity to medical help I'm not sure if anyone has actually died from that yet. Then in the vast vast vast majority of cases everyones risk of serious illness or death is dramatically reduced. What's your concern?

Would that fact that returns are not guaranteed prevent you from investing in a stock, or an index fund, or property? Curious.

Ok, cool

I only received the first one that says they will contact me next week to make a booking.

You forget to slip the £20 note over to the receptionist, @Sinbad is still working by SA processes so it was still second nature for him

I think it comes down to stock levels at centers in your area.

I'm also in the risk group.

Hahaha, still paying those 3rd world taxes, like car guards.

New SARS-CoV-2 B.1.526 variant emerges in New York

New York has the first case of a new severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variant called B.1.526, picked up by genomic surveillance research from Columbia University. The findings come after reports of other variants have been reported worldwide — B.1.1.7 in the United...

www.news-medical.net

The first case of the B.1.526 variant was found in November 2020 in a patient with advanced AIDs who initially had a coronavirus infection. However, this coronavirus infection did not have L5F, D253G, and E484K mutations.


The authors suggest the B.1.526 variant is the main culprit for the recently rising COVID-19 cases in New York.

Interesting , might explain why EC is good place for Covid to mutate... And confirms my opinion that pharmaceutical companies should camp in EC to trial future mutations
