Coronavirus (2021) thread

[waspish]

Dr John Campbell latest video well worth a watch..the 8 to 12 week gap between vaccine doses in the UK looking like one of the best decisions we've made..Israel and USA could be in trouble...3 week between doses not looking good..

Wasn’t it the Dr. On itv morning breakfast recommended the government to do this? At the time his main point of doing this was to get as many people as possible to have the first jab, now it looks like a very good decision the government agreed to do this..

Gov UK still on the blink.

In more than one sense!

But it is getting harder and harder not to think something has really changed here.

Maybe Covid hates the hot weather and is heading for the North Pole.

Hope Santa is self isolating as he should not rely on the local elf service.

Or maybe, just maybe, Boris knew all along exactly what he was doing and has played an absolute blinder. He delayed it a month knowing we needed a certain amount of vaccines to stop the rise.

I'm not saying that any of the scientists are wrong in their forecasts that cases will rise due to the lifting of the remaining restrictions and I sincerely hope that they are.However, why do I have the feeling that some of them and probably some of the media to that extent, are actually hoping that they do.

They definately do. It really is quite bizarre.

Anyone able to explain why this is the case?

He explains it in the video to a certain extent.. I had covid in January/February then first jab March and second in May so I'm hoping my immunity holds up!

Nah that's just conspiracy shite.

Because the UK me a decision based on reducing hospitalisations and deaths rather than sticking with vaccine trial data. They then looked at the real world stats and determined that 8 weeks would be better than 12. Increadiibly using real world statistical data It turns out to have been the right decision.

Not a cat in hell’s chance Johnson knows what he’s doing. He has a 100% record of making the absolute worst decision possible Right through the pandemic.

Possibly but it does mean that people only had one dose for quite a bit longer and one dose is supposedly nowhere near as effective as 2. It all seems a bit of a balancing act.

Is the volume of testing fairly consistent? If it has been reduced that could be a factor, plus hot weather. As an optimist I really hope it is the start of community immunity. If 90 per cent of people have antibodies, as the latest research suggests, surely it must make an impact.
