Yeh the U.K. acted to late with Covid but I’m hopeful that the vaccine program will get us out of it but we’ll still have the highest death rate in Europe.

Boris a lib so no surprise he didn’t want to lockdown. He is definitely hoping that the vaccine will get us out of it hence the aggressive roll out and will probably be the quickest and largest roll out of a vaccine in British history, I just hope it works.

Yea, despite the slow initial response the UK government is really steaming full speed ahead on getting people vaccinated.

January 20th can't come soon enough for us here in the US .......

The logistics are crazy just to vaccinate 70mil people but for 300mil it'll take a lot longer but you guys have got a massive military industry complex that could help with the roll out. Let's hope it works and we can return to normal practices and ditch the masks, social distancing and all the other stuff rona but with it.

Fair comparison to their neighbors, but still lower than many other European nations that have done strict lockdowns.

 

[Belgorim]

Do you even know anything about Sweden and their neighbours or are you just trying to push agenda?

First of all, lockdown skeptics are trying to see the bigger picture, they are not trying to focus on covid deaths only, that is what the pro-lockdown crowd is trying to do.

 

[GreenAlien]

Well.. as a somewhat undecided "lockdown sceptic", it's obvious that there will be more deaths without the lockdown. That's not the point. The real question is if saving those lives justifies all the side-effects like suicides, domestic violence & child abuse, destruction of the economy, impoverishment... I'm just glad I don't have to make those decisions.


Unfortunately it's increasingly clear that there will be no natural immunity, apparently reinfection rates with that mutated covid virus are high, which pretty much means vaccination is the only viable path forward.

If a person that got covid19 can be reinfected the vaccine will likely not help.

I'm sorry, not trying to be insulting, but you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how the immune system works and how (and why) vaccines come into play. Therefore you're unknowingly spreading public health misinformation.

So anyways, it's actually the opposite of what you suggested. We already understand the natural immune response to most coronaviruses (there are many that cause the common cold, we have a lot of experience with them). They have a well-documented ability for reinfection, and it looks like SARS-CoV-2 shares that same trait. A person catches it, they get sick, their immune system fights it off, those antibodies stick around for a few months, then go away. The person is now vulnerable again. The immune system has learned nothing. But it got lucky that time. It may not the next.

This ability to be reinfected within a few months actually means worse chances of reaching herd immunity through community infection. Nearly impossible with many coronaviruses, truthfully. It insures that vaccination is the only path forward.

NOW - contrast this to how vaccines work. The two COVID-19 vaccines equip the immune system to fight the virus down the road. They train our immune system to know this virus, how to effectively defeat it, perpetually. Immune memory cells, once trained by the vaccine(s) to mobilize as soon as the virus is detected, allow the body to target and clear out the virus in a matter of days rather than weeks. This is how vaccines (including those for mumps, the measles, and polio) mimic a natural immune response. Once the immune system is trained to fight the virus it will do so in the future.

The next problem is that viruses mutate. We've already seen this one do it with the so called "UK variant". Sometimes they mutate into a more dangerous strain, sometimes they actually mutate into a strain that is no longer harmful to humans and go away. In this case we're fortunate that the vaccines are effective against both strains. However, if it's like influenza and keeps mutating near annually into something that requires a tailored version of these current vaccines to fight it, we could be looking at yearly COVID shots alongside our flu shots.

All those Norwegian deaths were nursing home patients over 80 who died to the mild fever/nausea reactions. A slight gust of wind could’ve caused their passing on a different day. Doesn’t lend any credibility to anti-vaxxer ideology and Eric is in the wrong for framing it as such.

This seems like mostly assumptions as well?

There are many afflictions where a natural immune response is better than the vaccinated kind. And the immune system is trained when naturally infected as well, sometimes not trained enough, but just because antibodies gets low enough to not be measured does not mean the body has learned nothing, it works the same way after a natural infection as it does from a vaccine.

There will be people that do not get a lasting response from the vaccine either so those people will get infected after vaccination also. Those links you present mean nothing in the grand scheme of things.

????

The virus infects, the immune system creates antibodies targeting external proteins of the virus, and that's how you become immune.

So far as I know the pfizer vaccine is nothing special, it only has mrna to produce the external spike protein of the virus and no other protein. That's it that's all it does, nothing more nothing less, it has no special training no nothing. The virus spike protein causes an immune response as if it had been exposed to the actual virus, but it's safer since it is only the spike protein molecule and no self replicating virus that gets into your body.

That said given that this spike protein targets a natural receptor all over the body, it is likely many similar proteins exists within the body that also target the same receptor.

However, if it's like influenza and keeps mutating near annually into something that requires a tailored version of these current vaccines to fight it, we could be looking at yearly COVID shots alongside our flu shots.

You know that flu shots are hit and miss, they try to target the most common new variant that will spread but many times they fail and target the wrong strain.

I agree. However, Eric is right that there might be cause for concern that this new vaccine is not 100% safe for all people:

Do not know about the other 10. There is also this case that killed a doctor:

Dr. Michael had “absolutely no medical issues” and no underlying conditions, Ms. Neckelmann, who declined to be interviewed by phone as she made funeral preparations, said in a text message to The New York Times. “Never had any reaction to any medication nor vaccines.” Her husband, she added, was a healthy, active person who did not smoke or take any medication.

“He was an avid deep sea fisherman and mostly a family man,” she said. “He never got Covid because he used an N95 mask from the beginning of the pandemic. He was adamant in protecting his family and patients.”

He also believed in the promise of the vaccine, she wrote on Facebook.

For two weeks, doctors tried to raise Dr. Michael’s platelet count, and “experts from all over the country were involved in his care,” she wrote on Facebook.

“He was conscious and energetic through the whole process, but two days before a last-resort surgery, he got a hemorrhagic stroke caused by the lack of platelets that took his life in a matter of minutes,” she wrote.

The planned surgery would have removed Dr. Michael’s spleen, an operation that can sometimes help treat the clotting disorder.

Ms. Neckelmann said she told her husband’s story to make people aware of the vaccine’s possible “side effects,” and “that it is not good for everyone, and in this case destroyed a beautiful life, a perfect family, and has affected so many people in the community.”

Dr. Jerry L. Spivak, an expert on blood disorders at Johns Hopkins University, who was not involved in Dr. Michael’s care, said that based on Ms. Neckelmann’s description, “I think it is a medical certainty that the vaccine was related.”

“This is going to be very rare,” said Dr. Spivak, an emeritus professor of medicine. But he added, “It happened and it could happen again.”

[pel1300]

It's literally what Sweden's health officials were saying about their nursing home deaths. And they were labeled callous for pointing it out.

 

[FunkMiller]

I'm pretty sure that is the same argument a lot of people use to downplay the severity of COVID-19.

The point is that they are so old and frail, they would have conceivably died regardless of having a vaccine.

This is not the same as hundreds of thousands of largely healthy people (as healthy as being elderly allows) aged 70 and over dying of Covid.

 

[M1chl]

Vaccine report so it's 2 weeks since the vaccine, my temperature is still elvated, feeling slightly ill, at around 37.2C. But all in all it's pretty good without much issues. It's expected for me to fight with whatever is in vaccine for 3 weeks. So I am taking it easy to let my body adapt to it. So yeah northing major, was expecting it worse and probably it means, that my immunity is working well, despite the imuno surpressants.

The difference here being that vaccinating them is a proactive measure taken to save their lives, with a small percentage of unfortunate outcomes, vs ignoring the problem entirely and downplaying their deaths as a function of indifference.

 

[DeepBreath87]

The difference here being that vaccinating them is a proactive measure taken to save their lives, with a small percentage of unfortunate outcomes, vs ignoring the problem entirely and downplaying their deaths as a function of indifference.

We can weigh the costs of both methods. I think it’s pretty clear we can accept some level of death from the vaccine as long as the numbers remain limited to a very small number of people. We are already accepting pretty large amounts of death and damage from the disease itself. We just need to be honest that the vaccine is likely to cause some bad reactions on some people. This a price we are willing to pay.

Oh, for sure. I still think it's important to recognize that they died from complications that were caused by the vaccine. They intentionally got an injection and died from it. That's an important distinction in my opinion to having died from being infected by a virus. I think people should be able to understand the potential risks and make a decision for themselves which they prefer (not saying that these elderly folks were injected against their will or anything).

5. What is being done in response to the deaths?​

The Norwegian Institute of Public Health has updated its Covid-19 vaccination guide with more detailed advice on vaccinating the elderly who are frail. “We are now asking for doctors to continue with the vaccination, but to carry out extra evaluation of very sick people whose underlying condition might be aggravated by it,” Madsen said. The evaluation includes discussing the risks and benefits of vaccination with patients and their families to decide whether or not immunization is prudent. Separately, Nordic neighbor Finland has recommended against systematic vaccinations of terminally ill patients whose active treatment (in other words, those being palliated) has been stopped. The reason is that common side-effects such as temporary fever can weaken their condition.

Lol trusting RT

Yes, it is fake news, in case you wonder. Is it really that hard to type the same words into your favourite search engine?

It's another conspiracy theory. Is nobody able anymore to look at sources, liable reports and use critical thinking? Track and dispute sources?

Have now lost count of the amount of times on this forum that I’ve done a ten second google search to debunk someone else’s posts.

People don‘t want truth. They want their opinions confirmed. They want to feel ‘right’. In a world of no certainties, people are gripping on to the ones they think are solid for dear life - no matter how wrong they are. Dangerous stuff.

Every other medication people have a choice to take it or not. With vaccines, people often realistically don't. That is a problem. Vaccines also are a preemptive intervention. Every other medication is to fix an actual ongoing issue. Vaccines are to fix a potential issue that may never come to pass.

"Yesterday on TV Lord Sumption caused huge controversy by saying a stage 4 cancer patients' life was "less valuable" than others. He joined GMB today to expand on his comments and explain what he meant. Our COVID panel also discusses a GMB poll which reveals that half (53%) of UK adults say that the current Coronavirus measures are not strict enough, while just one in six (18%) say that they’re too strict. A quarter (26%) say they’re about right. Our COVID panel debate whether restrictions should be tightened to stop the spread of the virus." (1/18/21)

It’s a difficult thing to weigh. But if we still consider ourselves a free society, we should not believe in compelled vaccination. I think we are require to convince people with rather than force them. Show them this thing is safe and effective and many many people will line up for it.

It does appear that is exactly what it says for certain states in Germany, namely Saxony and Baden-Württemberg, but please point out where the confusion is.

Please point where this translation is incorrect to the point that it's saying something completely different:

According to a report in "Welt am Sonntag," several German states want to take tougher action against persistent quarantine refusers. In addition to high fines, in extreme cases, non-compliance with the current regulations could result in forced admission to central collection centers, clinics or juvenile detention centers. This is already being done in individual cases on the basis of judicial orders.

According to the report, central facilities for repeat quarantine offenders will soon be available in Baden-Württemberg. "These segregation places will be permanently controlled by a guard service," the paper quoted a spokesman for the state social ministry as saying. Two clinics have been selected for this purpose, he said.

Schleswig-Holstein wants to accommodate quarantine breakers already in the coming weeks on the grounds of the Moltsfelde youth detention center, it said, citing the Landkreistag. Prior to this, there is usually a "danger talk" with the participation of the police as a warning.

According to "WamS," Brandenburg wants to set up a central office for quarantine offenders in an initial reception facility. So far, those affected have been housed in a hospital or other "suitable facility," the report said, citing the state's social ministry.

In Saxony, "a shelter" is currently being built for such purposes, according to the Social Ministry. So far, persistent quarantine breakers would be housed "in a locked hospital or other suitable accommodation."

According to "BamS," Bavaria's Ministry of Health stated that it is usually possible to persuade citizens to comply "by emphatic instruction" and by pointing out "compulsory isolation and fines." As a last resort, compulsory admissions to municipalities, for example to "closed hospitals or closed parts of hospitals" remain.

Accordingly, Berlin's health administration also does not rule out forced admissions, "for example, also in a hospital." Hamburg's social services department said that if it came to compulsory admissions, options were available, but did not comment on details. In Hesse, such a facility had been closed again due to low demand.
