The research so far confirms that those who have been vaccinated have a hugely lower infection risk compared to those unvaccinated. They have a massively lower chance of getting it. When they do catch Covid they do not transmit it anywhere near those who are unvaccinated because they have lower viral loads.

So it will delay infections. That's what I said.

Prevent does not mean the same as eliminate.

Nor does failure to eliminate risk mean there is no logic to reducing risk, as you seem to be arguing.

"Either the vaccines work or they don't" is a logical fallacy beloved of COVID extremists.

It's bollocks.

The doctor never brought Covid up at all and to be honest it had not crossed my mind as related in any way to Covid or the vaccine until looking up remedies to treat it. As I knew it was pretty common with ageing.

I guess it might have been but not sure why and I had almost no reaction at all to the second jab and only a mild one for 24 hours or so to the first in February. Essentially just tiredness, So no reason to jump to that conclusion.

But if I have to talk to the doctor again over it I will ask. Thank you.

I have suffered from Tinnitus for decades. In my case it comes and go, sometimes triggered by sinus infections. But it often happens during the hay-fever season and when the weather is hot and humid like it is at present The nasal spray usually helps. I have always thought it was affected by air pressure. I get it at those times when you feel a thunder storm is on the way. I am pretty sure it will clear up for you.

This isn't true.

I got my first jab 6 weeks ago and can't get my second until mid-August (nearly 11 weeks later) because the vaccine centres are completely overwhelmed with people getting vaccinated.

Sadly, it is true.
1st jab numbers are currently 70% in the lower age range cohorts.

Statistics » Vaccinations: COVID-19

COVID-19 vaccinations This section contains information on the total number of COVID-19 vaccinations provided by the NHS in England in the seasonal campaigns. This data is sourced from the Data Processing Service (DPS), and is classified as management information. Data Autumn/Winter 2024/25...

If the younger chohorts 18-35 had accepted the jab, another 20% of those age cohorts would have had their first jab by now.
 
Spoke to some of the guys I used to work with on Sunday. One of them wasn't there. Proper conspiracy theorist who claimed covid was a load of nonsense. The type to have a go at someone for wearing a mask because they shouldn't allow themselves to be told what to do. Anyway, turns out he got covid last month and he's not been the same since. Lost over two stone, apparently.

Obviously I don't wish illness on anyone but I hope he's just as vocal about his own experience as he was about denying everyone else's.

That's why I originally acknowledged that they will delay infections.
