Lol the who saying that the pcr test is completely unreliable and has given mass false positives

Also no one has managed to isolate covid 19

Delaying the Pfizer 2nd dose one looks to be a mistake, they're shitting themselves with this SA variant, telling people in the outbreak areas to stay in their homes and do their tests door to door.

It's pretty obvious now they know the pfizer vaccine offers very little protection against that particular strain, especially when you've still only had 1 dose. Exactly what they were warned about has happened, the 12 week gap is a risk for a resistant strain to emerge, thrive amongst even "vaccinated" people and panic enough people into thinking the vaccine (any of them) are pointless. Who will blame them either? If someone you know got vaccinated around Christmas time, gets it now and still dies, you'd be forgiven for thinking they do fuck all.

chatting to my supplier today
83 year old mother got covid, fucked her up for a few weeks, survived
then she got a vaxxed, which he says he disagreed with cos she already had it, and had a worse reaction than the virus
so shes not getting the 2nd jab
he's also a MASSIVE anti trumper

seems like the proles are awaking

If there was hope, it must lie in the proles...

Tories so desperate to open everything up ASAP. But what proportion of people in their 50s end up needing hospital care if they get Covid? I mean, if you 'let it rip' once the must vulnerable are vaccinated you still risk the NHS being overwhelmed if people who wouldn't ordinarily die still need hospital care. And can you just accept everyone under 60 getting Covid given that'd lead to a scary number getting 'long Covid'?

ARE WE GONNA FUCK IT AGAIN?

Tbh I think it'll be mostly fine with under 50s once the main groups have been vaccinated, assuming it's done properly as well, the protection takes several weeks to reach a meaningful level so re-opening needs that factored in. We may still get a fraction of people having a rough time of it, but at that point the needle shifts firmly towards lockdowns being the thing that's more damaging for us. We can't lockdown forever. Lockdown is going to cause deaths too, they're just not as immediate. Missed cancers, destitution, suicides etc. Might take years to fully manifest but they'll be there.

It's the SA variant that's the fucker, that has the power to change things again. There's growing evidence that those who have received one dose of Pfizer would still be hospitalised by this variant. It probably fucks over the AZ one too, they're just being slow to confirm it. There's already a few question marks on that one's overall efficacy for the elderly, throw in a variant that has specifically mutated the protein these vaccines all depend on and its hard to believe that it won't suffer a comparable fall in effectiveness. If it becomes the dominant strain the country, it's going to cause a lot of problems. October is when they think they'll have a vaccine rolling out that covers that variant properly, we could find ourselves needing it.
