Coronavirus (2021) thread

Interesting reading James Ward and a few others stating that giving out boosters too soon could actually be counteractive, and the timing is everything when considering when to roll them out.

On the subject of vaccines, does anyone have any idea if there's any issues with a 14 or so week gap between 1st and 2nd doses? And I don't mean the actual risk in between times, I mean if everything has been OK and a person gets their 2nd jab but for one reason or other it's 14 weeks after their first, I assume it would still have the same effect? Sorry if that's a confusing question, I know the recommended is 8-12 weeks (and shorter in other countries), but just wondering if that's purely related to the risk of contracting covid after one dose but if that doesn't happen is there any issue going forward with a delay on the second? If that makes sense.

Question makes perfect sense, but I'm not sure if there's any hard data beyond 12 weeks or so.

If be very surprised if a couple of weeks makes a big difference, but another three months - no idea.
 

Not a scientific definition.

Marginal compared to what?

Most estimates show multiples more risk from covid than from vaccination to 12-15yos.

It was approved by MHRA in June on the basis of positive risk/ benefit for all children of that age.

there is also onward transmission benefits.

both me and my wife are in the the vulnerable category and immuno suppressed and we have a 14 year old at school.

he doesn’t want to pick it up at school and pass it on to either of us . Even though we are double jabbed it could still be nasty for either of us To catch it

he is keen to have it .

I haven't read one report saying "multiples" more risk of healthy kids being hospitalised with covid vs vaccinations.
most reports are based on unhealthy kids where there is multiples of risk benefit but in healthy kids the risk is equal or marginally better.

I'd still believe Alice over her though.

Seriously not just 'pop' stars but people especially with big media followings need to put just a little bit of thought into what's posted online as the 'spark when walking' brigade will believe anything.

I could be making a wildly unfair assumption here but Nicky Minaj strikes me as someone who has the same critical thought capability as, say, a pet hamster.
