That’s kind of the point in increasing the number of people vaccinated – it reduces the risk of spread.

It’s how all vaccines work.

It also gives you a better chance if you are unlucky enough to catch COVID.

It prevents you from having severe symptoms that can lead to death.

But I’m sick of it. I did my part, and I think I can make my own decisions about how to handle the “pandemic” (hardly one, with a 99.98% survival rate, and a widely distributed vaccine). And stop relying on the news. If you have half a brain you’d know that they purposely fear monger to generate clicks.

There’s this TV show called “The News”, if you watch it, you’ll know there’s a global pandemic going on. One of the challenges with this particular little virus, is that it’s highly contagious. Regular testing, particularly in areas of high traffic can help identify cases early.It helps protect everyone.

It’s not about liberty or personal rights. If COVID wasn’t transmissible by air, I really couldn’t care less. But it is.

By not testing, by not wearing masks, by not getting vaccinated, you are being selfish and you increase the risk of everyone around you. And you are very very stupid. The simple fact is no vaccine is 100% effective, the value is in getting as many people as possible vaccinated.

Now grow up, get vaccinated, wear a mask and get tested. Stop being a twat.

LOL Come on man, have you even attempted my math (stat) question? You should not be critical of someone’s math skills when you have none yourself.

LOL what a useless vaccine. There is a higher percentage of positive cases being vaccinated than the entire population being vaccinated.

So, roughly equal distribution between imported and local transmission.

That makes me want to go out for dinner!
