The vaccines are not designed to stop you from getting the virus. The vaccines are not designed to stop you from spreading the virus. The aim of the vaccine is to try and limit the symptoms should you catch the virus.

What a bloody joke. If you can still catch the virus and spread the virus after being vaccinated having Covid vaccination passports is pointless.

Agreed Totally. And these new strains too which are probably totally immune to the vaccines.

Anyway it's all just to keep us sane lol... Providing a vaccine that btw doesn't protect you from getting Covid but `We`re` calling it a vaccine anyway...

im pretty sure that the evidence is changing as we move along yes the vaccine at first was to stop you getting too ill with covid but now there is evidence that it can reduce transmission by up to 60% and there are some studies coming out that it may also stop you catching it too .

far to early to get a true picture but the further along we go the more promising it looks.

Too early to say what the effect of the vaccine is or how long it will last or if you need a booster.

A vaccine gives your body the building blocks to make antibodies to fight the invection i.e. the virus.

It in itself does not kill the virus none of them do.

it's still a vaccine though

The level of ignorance about basic biology is staggering what are schools teaching ?

A vaccine is not an all over condom It teaches the body to recognize the protiens of a virus as hostile and remember these and react quickly launching the bodies own defenses and also keep a stock of antibodies Of course you have to catch covid for this to work BUT the body will stop the virus getting to large numbers at which point you are highly infectious you can still pass on the small aount of virus you already inhale before the body has killed it all - but I am sure there will be those for whom the truth is a still a lie

trouble most likely, or creating it :)

The data seems to be suggesting that the vaccines for covid are helping to stop transmission and also lowering your risk of catching it.

But the main goal is to stop people from getting poorly enough to be hospitalized or worse xx so far so good.

I've had my first dose

To be fair, everyone has the right to post their opinion just as everyone has the right to reply.

If you feel the vaccine is of no use, don't get jabbed.

If you feel you need more time to decide, once you have read research or just to see how things pan out, that's fine too.

But searching for evidence to give weight to your arguement is not research.

I've had my jab due to my work.

Is it 100% safe, no idea, but I'm happy with the results so far.

What does any vaccine do.

It helps your body to create antibodies to kill the infection, but it is no instant, which is why you can still get the flu but in a milder form.

Because the virus enters a system where it does not thrive it will not multiply itself, hence reducing the risk of transmission to somebody else, it also reduced the chance to mutate.

Vaccines are all about reduction not elimination.

Just like a car seat belt reduced the chance of death it does not eliminate death in an accident

Talking as one of the “Vaccine Hesitant” here (ie not Anti Vax just want sufficient information to enable me to make an informed decision about what I put into my body)...

Surely everyone knows how vaccines work? Same approach as things like anti venom. Ppl above have already eloquently explained so won’t repeat.

I understand the argument against having the vaccine if you are healthy and it “only” reduces the chance of you developing a serious illness BUT there is growing evidence the vaccines ALSO reduce transmission.

That changes the argument from being one solely about personal choice to one of Community Ethics (ie will my actions protect and save others not just me).

It is only because of this growing evidence around transmission reduction that I have softened my view towards having the vaccine (though if I was older or in a vulnerable group I would also have “run the maths” to way up risk vs reward and softened anyway).

People being hesitant, wanting to fully understand and make an informed decision should be totally respected- even if it’s a different decision to ours!

Can the body treat a unrecognised virus and build up it's own defence mechanism because physically we control and teach it which in turn helps to repair and those who aren't able to become a huge risk factor hence those who have underlining conditions and the vulnerable IE learning disabilities and difficulties

Because whilst you may be lucky enough to not show any symptoms without the antibodies the virus can still multiply and thus increases the chance of transmission.

Also being healthy does not guarantee immunity. I've had two very healthy friends be in enforced coma due to Covid both under the age of 50.

Our immune system has never seen this virus before so it does not know how to create the antibodies the vaccine gives it a helping hand.

Thankfully Covid is fairly benign I'm the grand scheme of things.

Usually really vicious viruses don't become pandemic, because they make you I'll very quickly and you die, reducing the chance of infecting others.

One day a really horrid virus like Ebola will mutate which will have a delayed gestation time. You won't know you have it for weeks, all the time it's multiplying. Then it will hit hard.

The common cold has a very high transmission rate but low risk of death.

The problem with Covid is it has a very high transmission rate, takes time to take effect and is more deadly that other viruses with the same transmission rate.

There isn’t a single vaccine for ANY disease that stops you carrying it, transmitting it or getting ill.

This vaccine reduces the symptomatic effects of the virus by creating a hostile environment for it to reproduce, in turn, this has the effect of reducing transmission from person to person.

This will have the added bonus of drastically reducing the numbers of patients requiring hospitalisation meaning Covid will eventually have the same footprint on our lives as influenza.

As with the common flu, once a workable vaccine is established, it can be tweaked to be effective against different strains.

It is perfectly safe with side effects being no different nor dangerous than flu vaccines.

Cruise ships are notorious for things like Norovirus outbreaks. And early on a ship had so many cases it was temporarily its own country

I can see vaccine status being enormously important for things like that.

The anti vaxers are just holding onto a comment that was made when the vaccines were first introduced. This comment was that there was no evidence that the vaccine prevents transmission. This doesn't mean that it doesn't. The clinical trials took 2 large groups of people (I guess about 15k each). 1 group got the vaccine and the other the placebo. They then looked at the numbers from each group that still caught covid. No part of the trial checked to see if people transmitted the virus. Therefore not possible to have any evidence. However, real world, with millions vaccinated, the evidence grows.

If course, head still deep in the sand for some...

We still need track and trace for those who do catch it to avoid spreading it (at a lower rate!) and then allowing it to mutate.

Great points... The trouble is not enough people have the education or inclination to take responsibility for their bodies and those around them. I was hopeful this experience would have been a trigger to improve that situation but it seems not yet. "

I totally agree with you many people lack and seems to be instead of moving forward are going backwards the evidence alone people walking around not even attempting to avoid another shows that I've been lost for words when seeing this

Because not everyone is designed similar to build up a strong enough immune system to fight against viruses.

If the government decision was checking everyone to see if they had a strong immune system before offering the vaccine would be risky and time consuming to get everyone vaccinated is the easiest way...

Technically they aren't vaccines because they don't meet the criteria for a vax. Instead they are a medical instrument as they make your body produce spike proteins of SarsCov2.

Problem they found in trials on animals is that when vaccinated they showed a good immune response to SarsCov2. However. Once the animals were subjected to the virus "in the wild" most died due to an over reaction of antibodies.

Cytokline storm. Most died.

Also. Phizer themselves, on their site, say that trials of the "vax" don't end until 2023.

You are part of the trial I'm afraid.

There are some medical experts who believe that one of the proteins involved in production can cause neurological problems. The most obvious being bells paulsy. The least obvious, alzheimers.

This is the argument that digs deep into American state laws to find ways to define the mRNA vaccines out of being vaccines, and denies that either the CDC or FDA have power to define them as vaccines.

But... Here's the question.... She was thankfully 100% compus mentis when she was taken ill. 3 weeks later she was not at all... And in fact a mentioned illness on her death certificate was dementia. So my question is.. Is there any link of covid leading to amongst other things dementia..?

The vaccines are designed differently to the OPs propositions. What their ultimate results are, is borne out in the evidence. Some will have acceptable results, others not. The research results of efficacy may be superseded by real world results that are more substantial, which only get to be known when they've been in use amongst millions, for a long period of time.

The vaccines work differently and help us to develop our natural immune responses to the virus, with adjustments made over time, that also counter new variants. The natural immune response that each of us makes, if we get in contact with the virus, may mean that we don't get infected, when we may have done, if we'd had no preexisting immunity.

The natural immune response we make may also mean that we're less infectious to others - infecting fewer people, in other words.

Certainly the symptoms that we get are, should we still acquire an infection, are vastly reduced. The vaccines are very likely to stop you from death, as a result of the infection and your symptoms will be reduced. I don't know anyone who, with a choice of how ill they will get, will choose the more severe illness and potential death option, compared to mild symptoms, or not being infected at all.

Anyone who would prefer to have no immunity derived from a vaccine, could put themselves forward for the trials where people are infected with the virus, or help people who are infected with their care.

We're getting significant evidence as time passes, of the benefits of the vaccines, that are broader than the initial research results were. The drvelopers didn't create a vaccine to have very limited benefits, they were wanting their vaccines to produce the most substantial benefits possible. As time passes, we'll continue to gain greater evidence of the real world benefits that they bring. Thankfully there is also evidence of the increasing vast majority of the population that wants to be vaccinated, via the ONS.

Although the suggestion is that vax seems to reduce the possibility of transmission, the main reason for the passport would be to ensure you have had the vax, This in turn leads to a reduction in likely hospital cases which benefits everyone.

"but best immunity is bodies own why would healthy person want a vaccine "

Partly correct - the immunity that the vaccines prompt is our body's natural immunity, they don't fill your body with artificial immune substances, they just trigger your body to do what it can do best, after provoking it with aspects of the virus that it would have encountered if your body had had the real virus. We just get a 100% natural immune response, ready to strike, should we have the virus get into our bodies.

The most effective immune response triggered by a vaccine, will be a strong, healthy body. We know that strong, healthy bodies also succumb to the virus and are also able to pass on the infection to others, potentially triggering their deaths.

Gaining immunity helps ourselves and others to remain healthier and to stay alive, as well as life and the economy returning to a less restricted form. All achieved by natural immunity, initiated by the vaccines.

Very sorry for your loss.

As I understand, covid seems to be a systemic infection that is carried by the blood and can attack pretty well any part of the body. Symptoms associated with respiratory tract are most common because this is the usual point of entry of the virus into the body. However I believe that there are verified cases where the virus has entered the brain or affected blood vessels feeding the brain. This could certainly lead to symptoms of vascular dementia (where the dementia is essentially caused by starving the brain of oxygen). I would expect that there could also be an action of the virus directly attacking brain tissue, giving an effect very like Alzheimers dementia.

Mrs KC or one of the other medical experts on the site might be able to give a more authoritative answer.

Biggest priority is pollution, not global warming.

Again. The research is there to see.

Also. There's a difference between anti vax and anti, being part of a trial.

My kids were vexed. I've been vaxed. I draw the line at being vaxxed as part of an experiment.

I draw the line at being vaxxed against something I have a 99 plus percent chance of surviving.

Death is inevitable. If its from flu or covid. That's just bad luck.

Those who are vaccinated have nothing to fear from me not being.

They will be safer than me. Wont they?

End of the day there are many hypothesis over the mRNA vaccines.

The reason being is that until a few years have passed. (Average flu jab takes ten years to correlate adverse reactions)Nobody really knows. Even those that say its perfectly safe are basing their ideas on hypothesis.

I understand why they developed it so quickly. No red tape. Infinite funding etc.

However the trials were only done on 18 to 55 year olds in good health.

They have absolutely no idea what the long term effects may be.

At the moment it looks promising but they are basing that on a test of just a few thousand healthy people.

I'll wait and see what happens thanks.

I hope their HYPOTHESIS is correct and there's nothing to fear.

However. How much do you trust a company facing a lawsuit for experimenting on children in Africa with a new polio vax that killed and maimed thousands of children.

NO THANKS.

2023. When phizer say their trial will end, will be my yardstick.

As established in my post near top of thread I class myself as “Vaccine Hesitant” (not anti vax).

Not trying to be provocative, this is a genuine question...

To all those who are completely happy and trusting of Big Pharma and therefore totally willing to have any of these vaccines can I ask why the Big Pharma companies have been exempted (indemnified?) against future legal action from anyone? Are the Pharma companies and Govts not 100% sure these vaccines are safe and will not create long term health issues?

I don't 100% trust Big Pharma.

(Most of what follows is based on the US system, as it's easiest to find the history of. See the site "History of Vaccines" by the College of Physicians in Philadelphia, "Vaccine Injury Compensation Programs")

But the issue is, it's a compromise.

Vaccine preventable diseases wreak havoc on society. See this year, but also look at the outcomes for any of the other childhood diseases. It's in society's interest to have widespread vaccination.

No medical intervention is without risk, and people deserve to be compensated when it happens. It's an individual tragedy but a cost worth paying at a population level, lower than the cost of the disease. (before anyone comes after me, I've suffered such individual tragedy in my family).

Regular lawsuits are not in the business interests of the pharmaceutical companies, particularly when vaccines are usually not a high profit business (Covid being an exception at the moment). Private businesses will act in their own interests and may stop vaccinating.

But we need vaccinations. We should also support people who suffer adverse effects from medicines.

So the government steps in.

Surely everyone knows how vaccines work? Same approach as things like anti venom. Ppl above have already eloquently explained so won’t repeat.

I understand the argument against having the vaccine if you are healthy and it “only” reduces the chance of you developing a serious illness BUT there is growing evidence the vaccines ALSO reduce transmission.

That changes the argument from being one solely about personal choice to one of Community Ethics (ie will my actions protect and save others not just me).

It is only because of this growing evidence around transmission reduction that I have softened my view towards having the vaccine (though if I was older or in a vulnerable group I would also have “run the maths” to way up risk vs reward and softened anyway)."

This pays out a one-off £120,000 payment to people who are permanently disabled or harmed as a result of a listed vaccination.

The pros of having the vaccine if for whatever reason you may want to be a donor or need to be a donor for family members this might be a obstacle if one has not received a vaccine just thinking outside the box I myself would one day like to be a donor and help save a life whether giving blood or something else and might be if not had the vaccine this could not be possible because 1 the person who needs it has a right to reject and know if the said donor has had a vaccine or could be if we're a organ donor my valid reason to have it

When I was a kid I remember we got lots of jabs. They told us then we were being immunised against catching various diseases. And it seemed to prevent contracting the various diseases.

Now we are being vaccinated.

And the vaccine does not prevent contracting the disease or the infecting of other people. So why are we not being immunised instead of vaccinated?

The covid-19 vaccine is subject to the same compensation system as all other vaccines in the UK.

Not all of the vaccines are the result of Big Pharma making big bucks either. The Oxford vaccine is being provided at cost to the UK. Should AZ be subject to unlimited damages, for something that they have not been negligent for?

We run risks in life and usually do our best to minimise them, for ourselves and others. Based on the evidence that we have, for vaccines overall and these specific vaccines - they have been developed and tested for safety, to the extent that unforeseen major danger isn't likely. We can contrast that extremely unlikely risk with the highly likely risk of loss of many lives and acquisition of disabilities, due to the virus, as well as the far reaching damage to the wellbeing of society, by not taking advantage of them. Many of us know first hand the extreme pain of losing close family members this year, because of the virus. It's a definite risk, with a substantial effect, unlike the vaccines, which have as close to zero risk as you could hope for.

To be fair, this question is easily answered.

The producers of the vaccines would ideally like to collect long term data before releasing their products, but the urgency of governments to stop the virus outweighs the risks. Consequently, governments & the WHO have taken on the liability in the case of a serious negative reaction.

Bearing in mind that the first testing of the vaccines were started in March, they have 11 months of data now... plus 100's of millions of doses world wide. The safety of the vaccines have been fairly well established.

I will take the vaccine in a couple of years. After the trials have finished and some form of long term data is collected.

"but best immunity is bodies own why would healthy person want a vaccine

Because whilst you may be lucky enough to not show any symptoms without the antibodies the virus can still multiply and thus increases the chance of transmission.

Also being healthy does not guarantee immunity. I've had two very healthy friends be in enforced coma due to Covid both under the age of 50.

Our immune system has never seen this virus before so it does not know how to create the antibodies the vaccine gives it a helping hand.

I have ten colleagues on the long haul .. 3 on a vent all under 50 one one had any underlying condition. 4 are under 40 "

5G technology exists and is alive and kicking in several British cities, as well as around the world.

To stimulate your bodies own reaction....duh!

Because not everyone is designed similar to build up a strong enough immune system to fight against viruses.

If the government decision was checking everyone to see if they had a strong immune system before offering the vaccine would be risky and time consuming to get everyone vaccinated is the easiest way...

Just a thought... OK I'm being a bit of a twat... But....

If someone were to put a clever little chip in the vaccine...and have a network of special mobile telephony masts provided by China, across the nation... Let's call them 5g...the chips could talk to the huawei 5g masts and and and.....

They have the technology... let's hope they never get approval to use it.

5G technology exists and is alive and kicking in several British cities, as well as around the world.

No-one is talking about tracking chips or anything that crude - think smaller, way, WAY smaller, and google nano-technology and it's potential use in medicine.

Others have raised concerns about ADE, which is why I intend to wait a while if I can.

There's also a very interesting and well reasoned Letter of warning to the FDA and Pfizer On The Immunological Danger Of COVID-19 Vaccination In The Recently Convalescent And Asymptomatic Carriers by Hooman Noorchashm which could explain some of the post vaccine deaths that have occurred.

Did you actually read what I wrote - I said the technology exists.

Science is moving very fast. mRNA is a new technology that has been fast tracked, and there are plenty more where that came from. This is the point where Big Tech and Big Pharma meet. It should provide some incredible advances is treatment of cancers with any luck, also bio-sensing and monitoring. I doubt it will be long before you can inject nanofilament and monitor your glucose levels with your smartphone.

"Nanostructured materials are promising compounds that offer new opportunities as sensing platforms for the detection of biomolecules. Having micrometer-scale length and nanometer-scale diameters, nanomaterials can be manipulated with current nanofabrication methods, as well as self-assembly techniques, to fabricate nanoscale bio-sensing devices. Nanostructured materials possess extraordinary physical, mechanical, electrical, thermal and multifunctional properties. Such unique properties advocate their use as biomimetic membranes to immobilize and modify biomolecules on the surface of nanoparticles. Alignment, uniform dispersion, selective growth and diameter control are general parameters which play critical roles in the successful integration of nanostructures for the fabrication of bioelectronic sensing devices. In this review, we focus on different types and aspects of nanomaterials, including their synthesis, properties, conjugation with biomolecules and their application in the construction of immunosensing devices. Some key results from each cited article are summarized by relating the concept and mechanism behind each sensor, experimental conditions and the behavior of the sensor under different conditions, etc. The variety of nanomaterial-based bioelectronic devices exhibiting novel functions proves the unique properties of nanomaterials in such sensing devices, which will surely continue to expand in the future. Such nanomaterial based devices are expected to have a major impact in clinical immunodiagnostics, environmental monitoring, security surveillance and for ensuring food safety."

"As established in my post near top of thread I class myself as “Vaccine Hesitant” (not anti vax).

Not trying to be provocative, this is a genuine question...

To all those who are completely happy and trusting of Big Pharma and therefore totally willing to have any of these vaccines can I ask why the Big Pharma companies have been exempted (indemnified?) against future legal action from anyone? Are the Pharma companies and Govts not 100% sure these vaccines are safe and will not create long term health issues?

I don't 100% trust Big Pharma.

(Most of what follows is based on the US system, as it's easiest to find the history of. See the site "History of Vaccines" by the College of Physicians in Philadelphia, "Vaccine Injury Compensation Programs")

But the issue is, it's a compromise.

Vaccine preventable diseases wreak havoc on society. See this year, but also look at the outcomes for any of the other childhood diseases. It's in society's interest to have widespread vaccination.

No medical intervention is without risk, and people deserve to be compensated when it happens. It's an individual tragedy but a cost worth paying at a population level, lower than the cost of the disease. (before anyone comes after me, I've suffered such individual tragedy in my family).

Regular lawsuits are not in the business interests of the pharmaceutical companies, particularly when vaccines are usually not a high profit business (Covid being an exception at the moment). Private businesses will act in their own interests and may stop vaccinating.

But we need vaccinations. We should also support people who suffer adverse effects from medicines.

So the government steps in.

So if (that is IF) one or more of these vaccines turns out in future to have created health issues are you saying the impacted individual(s) will be able to sue the Govt? Cos clearly they won’t be able to sue the Pharma Co!

This I can link per Fab rules: https://www.gov.uk/vaccine-damage-payment

I'm not saying the system is perfect, but... It's a way to not scare manufacturers out of making vaccines (low profit, but high public importance), but also protect those who suffer serious adverse effects.

The covid-19 vaccine is subject to the same compensation system as all other vaccines in the UK.

Not all of the vaccines are the result of Big Pharma making big bucks either. The Oxford vaccine is being provided at cost to the UK. Should AZ be subject to unlimited damages, for something that they have not been negligent for?

We run risks in life and usually do our best to minimise them, for ourselves and others. Based on the evidence that we have, for vaccines overall and these specific vaccines - they have been developed and tested for safety, to the extent that unforeseen major danger isn't likely. We can contrast that extremely unlikely risk with the highly likely risk of loss of many lives and acquisition of disabilities, due to the virus, as well as the far reaching damage to the wellbeing of society, by not taking advantage of them. Many of us know first hand the extreme pain of losing close family members this year, because of the virus. It's a definite risk, with a substantial effect, unlike the vaccines, which have as close to zero risk as you could hope for. "

I wonder what your views are on the heatbreaking Thalidomide scandal.

The thalidomide scandal was just awful

Blindly taking something most of us know nothing about (apart from all the pharma experts on a swinging site obviously ) is a risk.

I'm not anti vaccine but I resent being bullied into it.

"The vaccines are not designed to stop you from getting the virus. The vaccines are not designed to stop you from spreading the virus. The aim of the vaccine is to try and limit the symptoms should you catch the virus.

What a bloody joke. If you can still catch the virus and spread the virus after being vaccinated having Covid vaccination passports is pointless. "

Jesus Christ,all the effort and work and money gone into developing the vaccine so we can get back to normality (something deniers and anti vaxxers have been wanging on about) so they produce a vaccine to help everyone.

And still all people do is moan about it,find something to complain about.

Would all the people moaning about the vaccine prefer if it was not available at all?

I really do think some people don't deserve it,but thankfully that's not my choice to make and it's a fair society that allows access to all.

So if this generous free vaccine is offensive and against your beliefs,I'm sure there's a place you can go and live but please don't do it here.

Bad luck. I had the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine on Friday evening and apart from a sore arm, I've had no side effects (yet). I've had Covid before, albeit nearly a year ago, so expected some more severe effects. That said, my personal Covid experience was incredibly mild.

I think healthcare is and should be a human right. No matter what choices you make in life. It's not a question if you're moral or deserving enough. You have health. You need healthcare.

I'm not against differentiating the vaccinated and unvaccinated by choice, but for things which are not fundamental to survival. You should get healthcare. Period.
