If you're saying it's to "protect others" then that's an old argument because the vaccines don't prevent you catching Covid or passing it on, they reduce symptoms and help keep vulnerable people (i.e. older people and people with weak immune systems) out of hospital.

But three injections in one year doesn't sound like the greatest vaccine in the world as we are probably going to find out in the winter.

This is also why "vaccine passports" shouldn't be introduced because you can have a double-vaccinated person with Covid going into a nightclub but a non-vaccinated person without Covid not being let in. The only way to control Covid therefore is with testing and there is apparently a new 10 minute test on the way.

Yer dreaming ! It will and has bothered people of that age group and similar fitness levels !

Evidence is increasing that, not only do COVID-19 vaccines either stop you getting sick or substantially reduce the severity of your symptoms, they’re also likely to substantially reduce the chance of transmitting the virus to others.

That’s the latest medical view

Highest rate in Yorkshire?

Yes Rotherham

I know lots of people who don't want the jab, but, why do they have to "announce" it to everyone?

If they catch the virus and end up going to the Hospital they should be put to the back of the queue.....knobs.

Lol just like vegans and vegetarians do.

You could be talking about a terrorist nuclear bomb attack but somebody would pipe up “ by the way did you know I’m a vegetarian?”

Untrue.

The viral load is the same.

You may be less likely to catch it in the first place.

But who knows, so many lies have been told about it.

My favourite one was that it could be spread by farting.

Viral load might be the same but the theory is that vaccination is likely to substantially reduce virus transmission by reducing the pool of people who become infected.

Chilling to think that at the recent Millers v Owls match that statistically about 2000 fans in the crowd hadn’t had any jabs or had only had one jab.

A very high percentage that are in hospital with Corona have not been vaccinated.Why are these people not taking the jab and putting more pressure on the NHS?These selfish people are not helping the rest of us.It's unbelievable why anyone would not take the vaccine.

Fear of needles perhaps?

After all the time they've had to get a jab, as a condition of getting any treatment for Covid all unvaccinated people should sign a form to agree to be sterilised before being released from hospital. It might seem a bit extreme but at least will prevent them from passing on the 'stupid' gene.
