I wondered why so few vaccinations reported, but apparently there's an IT issue and no vaccinations reported for England today. Will be updated tomorrow.

22k cases in last 24 hrs. Daily cases have doubled in week.

I'm starting to realise this won't be over until theres enough immunity in the population and that's not likely to be achieved with these partially effective vaccines.

The more it's able to spread the more it will mutate and the more it mutates the more strength it will gain.

I think relying on partially effective vaccines is almost as bad as completely burying ones head in the sand.

This from one of my daughters yesterday: My friend has just tested positive for COVID after having both vaccines ??! First one in Jan and 2nd in March, how did she still get covid.

Cos technically it's not a vaccine it's just like an immune booster.
A bit like an introduction to the virus so the actual meeting isn't so much of a shock.
Or that's the way i see it anyway.

Quite right, I've always said and believed the covid vaccine is not actually a vaccine.

the real world data on the pfizer vaccine has demonstrated 90% effectiveness in preventing transmission of covid. i’m not sure how people would think it’s not a real vaccine? i think it is definitely a vaccine.

 

[Mr Ripple]

vaccine
/ˈvaksiːn,ˈvaksɪn/

noun

1. a substance used to stimulate the production of antibodies and provide immunity against one or several diseases, prepared from the causative agent of a disease, its products, or a synthetic substitute, treated to act as an antigen without inducing the disease.
   

I'm not convinced that something that only offers partial or a percentage of efficacy fits the definition of the term?

So it's not a chip It's not a vaccine It's an immune booster It is a vaccine
Have i missed anything ?
