don't be so obtuse there has always been an undercurrent on this group that says anyone who is not vaccinated is neglecting their civic dutiesSmudge3920 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 05, 2021 10:55 am Not sure where that came from mate ...it has always been my understanding that even if vaccinated, you can still be a carrier and pass it on...

Re: Covid
A friend showed me earlier part of an essay she was reading, and it pointed out that neither polio nor smallpox reached natural herd immunity...as they were eradicated by vaccines.
Re: Covid
The evidence so far says natural immunity is better, and longer lasting, than immunisation by vaccine. It also points to the vaccinated who spread infection being more likely to be passing on stronger variants.
Just returned my Jethro Tull tickets for a refund because I don't have, and in any case, wouldn't use, a covid passport.

Just recently read that in the VAERS database which records ALL adverse events for all vaccines, that over 90% of the reports were for covid.Smudge3920 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 07, 2021 7:15 am A friend showed me earlier part of an essay she was reading, and it pointed out that neither polio nor smallpox reached natural herd immunity...as they were eradicated by vaccines.

Very possible that the virus is mutating with the vaccine to create the stronger variants.SaraM wrote: ↑Sat Aug 07, 2021 11:10 am The evidence so far says natural immunity is better, and longer lasting, than immunisation by vaccine.

Re: Covid
I guess the Guardian have got it al wrong then,that it has not been eradicated in the Horn of Africa and that is still endemic in Pakistan. Vacine derived polio still exists.Smudge3920 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 07, 2021 7:15 am A friend showed me earlier part of an essay she was reading, and it pointed out that neither polio nor smallpox reached natural herd immunity...as they were eradicated by vaccines.

Re: Covid
A young girl at work does extra bar shifts in the one of the local hotels with cabaret. I was asking her about the clientele to which she said mainly elderly. I said any social distancing rules, none she could see just normal table layouts, what about masks? very few people wearing them, and i said what about Covid Passports? She said what? this is not a nightclub. I said what about all the dancing...?
Perhaps another example of the Tories not wanting to upset their voting demographic?

Re: Covid
1 April 2017
Polio was once a disease feared worldwide, striking suddenly and paralysing mainly children for life. WHO is a partner in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, the largest private-public partnership for health, which has reduced polio by 99%. Polio now survives only among the world's poorest and most marginalized communities, where it stalks the most vulnerable children. The Initiative's goal is to reach every last child with polio vaccine and ensure a polio-free world for future generation.
While polio is a distant memory in most of the world, the disease still exists in some places and mainly affects children under 5. One in 200 infections leads to irreversible paralysis (usually in the legs). Among those paralysed, 5% to 10% die when their breathing muscles become immobilized.
When the Global Polio Eradication Initiative was formed, polio paralysed more than 350 000 people a year. Since that time, polio case numbers have decreased by more than 99%. More than 16 million people have been saved from paralysis because of vaccination efforts against polio.
The 3 countries are Afghanistan, Nigeria and Pakistan. They face a range of challenges such as insecurity, weak health systems and poor sanitation. Polio can spread from these 'endemic' countries to infect children in other countries with less-than-adequate vaccination.
There are 3 strains of wild poliovirus, none of which can survive for long periods outside of the human body. If the virus cannot find an unvaccinated person to infect, it will die out. an Type 2 wild poliovirus was eradicated in 1999 and cases of type 3 wild poliovirus haven’t been found anywhere in the world since 2012.

Re: Covid
It's the risk with trying to vaccinate everyone whilst there is a pandemic, and the vaccines don't stop transmission. It creates the conditions for speeding up the evolution of the virus towards more vaccine resistant variants. Apart from the personal risks, this is a good reason why it's better not to have the vaccine if you don't need it.
