Because it's not a criminal offence to catch a lab virus and not want something injected into you every 3 months, nor should it be.

Besides, there's no greater sentence than death which I'm sure you're gleeful about as they're not on your team.

A lab virus? For fuck’s sake, fella!

And it’s not every three fucking months for fuck’s sake. Why you keep babbling on with that horse manure is baffling. You’re not the whole world, you know? It only happens to be three months if you just happened to get your second jab of the two original vaccines three months ago or you’re classed as vulnerable, because there’s a new strain now. It’s not three months for anyone else because they had their other fucking jabs longer than three fucking months ago. For fuck’s sake, fella!

And you won’t need another jab in another three months and another three months after that and another three months after that. Why do you keep repeating this bollocks about “every three months”? You sound like an absolute tool!

The fucking data is telling them they are wrong.

Carry on in your attempt at shutting the poster down though because you don’t like his message.

Just to be clear on this, the current data is showing that their worst case scenario is wrong. That’s fine, they never thought that was a likely scenario anyway.

What the data is aligning to is their modelling for low immune escape and high booster efficacy and hopefully even better.

Those models never get reported on though, which I get to an extent in terms of if they were, they wouldn’t get any behavioural impact benefit which they clearly have had over the last few weeks, but that’s not to do with the modellers.

1 in 7 london NHS workers are isolating and 1 in 10 in the country

this is the real issue

it’s an absolute massive issue. As I said tried to get to London Saturday , train after train cancelled due to stafff being off with Covid. Same in the Royal Mail post is delayed Due to staff isolating. This will be one if not the main issue with the pressure on the nhs.

the 10 day isolation is too long and thankfully it looks like they doing something about it now. Society could grind to a halt if we are not careful.

Not at all but are you seriously saying that we should discount all scientists and experts because errors may be made now and again? or that we should believe what some unqualified bloke on a football forum says instead? I seriously don't understand your question.

“Unqualified bloke on a football forum”

That’ll be you then

We really should follow the Swedish model…

they seem to be following us. Issued a work from home if you can order and vaccine passes for events over 500 people.

Sweden hardens COVID curbs amid worries over Omicron

Sweden will urge all employees to work from home if possible and impose tighter rules for social distancing, the government said on Tuesday, as it ratchets up restrictions to fight a surge in new infections and the Omicron variant of the COVID-19 virus.

There are strikes on top of that too, we're slowly grinding to a halt over the Xmas period mate.

The models are wrong and worse still, our restrictions and possible lockdowns are based on those models.

Data was there from SA. They ignored it and even when data was creeping through here that supported the SA scientists, they ignored again and pushed through with restrictions.

It is a joke given our vaccination and booster rates.

Finally. I’ve had a negative LTF test on my 10th and final day of isolation.

However, wife tested positive yesterday so Xmas plans are still shagged.

Ordered a little turkey crown with trimmings from butchers so I'll cook her a Xmas dinner at least but she'll be eating it in the spare room, well away from me.

If you’ve had it, why can’t you spend Xmas together?

What a truly embarrassing post. I mean i'm not trying to tell people anything about this virus, about how to behave just to listen to the experts and yet you post that. Absolutely cringe worthy.

Again what are you in favour of? listening to people on social media over the experts?

that came out of your system quicker than the vaccine. Glad you've got it off your chest though.

The head of Spi-m specifically said they didn’t model it being milder (lower immune escape, higher vac efficacy etc)

Their is No conclusive data either way so it is right to err on the side of caution. All i am saying is don't listen to people on an internet forum over the experts . I'm immune compromised, believe me i want it to be weaker. I want a weaker strain to eradicate all other variants and covid becomes nothing more than other seasonal virus' and when the experts say that then i will believe it.

I think you're going to have to change your tune pretty quickly as the scientists are just about say what we all knew from analysing data from the other countries and front line primary evidence.

The evidence is now overwhelming

If the consensus of the worlds scientists say it i will gladly accept it. I truly truly hope it is. My very life may depend on it. I am only advocating that we wait for the scientists to say it.

Oh and btw, i will never "change my tune" over wanting to listen to experts over unqualified people on the internet.
