I see one person posted that the vaccines haven't been around long enough to comment. Well, if someone dies within 5 minutes or a few days, then one case could be a coincidence, but there are too many people dying shortly after vaccination for it not to be a contributing factor. Reports say that the vaccines are 50-80% effective, and that 99% of the population has had no significant health problems as a result of being infected without having been vaccinated. ( Lord Sumption amongst other, and as an Eton educated senior lawyer, he should be in a position to know the true facts). So, at best, vaccination reduces your natural immunity by 20%, and it has numerous side effects including death. Why would any sane person want to risk death to reduce their natural immunity?
99% no significant health problems???
you are forgetting your over 70 and not 7 right??
yes a 7yo would have 1% risk of mild/severe. but you and your spouse and her friend are all over 70
and by your spouse and friend shielding it seems they have more vulnerabilities
also.. your completely wrong assumption about the vaccine. it does not reduce your natural immunity by 20%
people over 70 with other issues that put them in the shielding category have a covid risk of
15% chance of no symptoms(asymptomatic)
40% chance of getting mild symptoms.(persistant cough/high fever for 7days+)
25% chance of getting severe symptoms(nasal air canular)
15% chance of getting critical symptoms(intubated respirator)
5% risk of dying
so a vaccine with 80% effectivity would lower the risk to:
8% chance of getting mild
5% chance of severe
3% chance of critical
1% risk of dying
meaning 83% chance of no symptoms
(personally i think it would be more like 25% asymptomatic 58% minor(short cough/lowgrade fever for 2 days))
