    After a real-world study, Johnson&Johnson vaccine very effective against Delta and Beta variants.

    97% eff against death and 71% against hospitalisation.

    • Tragic that anyone healthy adult should die at all considering the vaccine has been available for a long ass time.monospaced

    If I'm vaccinated should I be concerned at all, especially if I only really hang out with like minded, vaccinated people?

    A friend who was and is super cautious is going crazy complaining about people not wearing masks on his instagram. I don't understand his paranoia.

    • The vaccinated can still spread and catch the virus. I am vaccinated twice yet still wear a mask when i go to the supermarket.Morning_star
    • Maybe don't get your medical advice from QBN or instagramBaskerviIle
    • same, been hanging out with double vaxxed folks like normal, mask on the train, cabs, shops. between me an the gf, doin lateral flow tests at least once a weekkingsteven
    • because there's a high case count here and we're both out a lot... figure thats probably more important as theres a high likelihood of being asymptomatickingsteven
    • The vaccine doesn’t sterilise the virus when you catch it. Just gives you a better fighting chance. You can may not die. But you can spread it and get Ill.shapesalad

    Tomorrow I finally get my 2nd jab. I am only late because I didn't know "the right people", so I had to wait in line. Germany was slow. From tomorrow (+14 days) I will be a tiny bit more free again.

    Just wondering how many folks have deleted the test and trace (UK) app from there phones? I was out at a food festival on Saturday and pretty much everyone I talked to had done so. They couldn't afford to isolate was the main reason. How the fuck are we tracing COVID now? Obviously not with an App (that wasn't even that good anyway) that cost about £37billion to make.

    • never downloaded it, folks i know that did deleted long ago. don't think i know person who's had a ping the whole pandemic and turned out positivekingsteven
    • Mental isn't it? And we talk about 'someone' is going to have to pay for this pandemic somehow.Ianbolton
    • I never downloaded it either - i've just avoided the fuck out of everyone... .Nairn
    • Haha. I did that but got the app as some restaurants were getting cunty if you didn't scan in. My mate was 'pinged' last week and is staying in for 10 days.Ianbolton
    • I have it and use but then again rarely go anywhere.shapesalad
    • Be interesting to know how many cases thy were calculating through the app compared to just standard testing. Numbers are down dramatically apparentlyIanbolton
    • I believe I have to install one for the first time, soon (NY).monospaced
    • Most places I go to cater for those who don't have the app with a simple pen and paper pad. Write your name down (or not) and off you go.TOMMYxGUNN
    • Any place I’ve been had the qr code thing that went to a website.PhanLo
    • I think my point was 'Test and Trace' never really did what it was supposed to do, but wondered how much tracing it did in connection to the daily figures?Ianbolton
    • And is the downward spiral of cases due to people deleting the App? Or because more people are vaccinated so are experiencing no/less symptoms?Ianbolton
    • Same in Germany. We even have two apps and you are supposed to check-in with it in some places but if you don't nobody will know about it. Weird principle.SimonFFM
    • 37 billion?!?!?!?!?!?!pango
    • Haha. Yeah. You'd think 37 BILLION would erradicate the entire pandemic, not just build an app. It's ridiculous.Ianbolton
    • 37 bil wasn't for the app lol, jeez.
      37 bil was for the whole test and trace system, testing centres, staff, test kits, testing etc. Still ridiculous how it was
      fadein11
    • wasted and given to tory pals but the app DID NOT cost 37 bil and it pains me to remotely defend the cunts here.fadein11
    • the app ended up being the off the shelf Apple/Google one, it prob cost a few mil tops.fadein11
    • I mean what on Earth would they be coding for £37bil, the Matrix?
      I despise the tories but still amazed seeing this banded around.
      fadein11
    • Haha. Yeah, sorry, that's a fair point. Context lost when I say 37 billion just for an app. But still, the fucking Tories huh?!Ianbolton
    • the UK app is also built using microsoft excel, seriously. it's like a weeks work for a good coder.kingsteven
    • that had nothing to do with the app (google/apple), but yes I get your point. it was a shit show from the beginning.fadein11
    • but £37bil on an off the shelf app lol, purlease. Even the most die hard tory may have questioned that.fadein11
    • anyway, I'm not defending the corrupt cunts at all, far from it. hopefully when the dust finally settles heads will roll.fadein11

    Exercise more = covid less.

    • It was weird that that wan't a big part of the initial lockdown message.PhanLo

    • I feel sorry for the people who "do their own research" and become expert epidemiologists. Oh wait, no I don't.inteliboy
    • That’s not true pr2. There are millions of deaths from covid. There is a very low number of deaths from the vaccine or people vaccinated.monospaced
    • I think there were like 5 blood clot deaths worldwide? Breakthrough deaths are nearly nonexistent, if at all.monospaced
    • The chance of complications is lower than from vax. And also it's nothing you wouldn't have gotten from covid anyway if you don't die.pango
    • Jesus tried to kill you and your family. Think about that morons.monospaced
    • Wait I meant chance of complication from vax is lower than from covid.pango

    • CDC data: 5k deaths from vaccines last year alone (almost all from covid vaccine).
      currently 5% of covid deaths in US is due to vaccine.
      pr2
    • some of you have to spend less time on QBN and read science papers out there.pr2
    • of course a simpleton in the room will take the CDC's 5k vaccine deaths and try to compare it to 630k of covid deaths with zero understanding that a valid...pr2
    • ...comparison would be against covid deaths SINCE vaccine roll out. then it would be 5k against ~100k.pr2
    • but basic logic was thrown out the window long ago, so why am i stills trying???pr2
    • i don't see news crews interviewing all those mothers, fathers, husbands, wifes, sisters, brothers etc of the 5k who took the vaccine and are in the graves now.pr2
    • "Reports of adverse events ... following vaccination, including deaths, do not necessarily mean that a vaccine caused a health problem.dorf
    • A review of available clinical information, including death certificates, autopsy, and medical records, has not established a causal link to COVID-19 vaccines."dorf

    • pr2 being a dingus. forgets to add:

    • i'm not even responding to the mono moron anymore, but i guess i have to put some other "stable geniuses" on the list too.pr2
    • in almost ALL covid/vaccine death cases comorbidity was a factor. fuck me guy, how dumb can you be not to understand it?pr2
    • 70% of the reports came from health care pros, not some jaded anti-vaxers. Guys, lift the self-inflicted blinders on the facts.pr2

    • vaccine was the direct cause of death.kingsteven

    • half the country vaccinated since (mostly over 65) and most of the deaths from the vaccine had other contributing factorskingsteven
    • here's the full VAERS interim results paper https://www.dropbox.…kingsteven
    • 5% (320) were direct deaths of vaccine, 67% (4300) were due to comorbidity with vaccine. There are dozens of "was anti-vaccine and now is dying,"pr2
    • examples in this threat. With 4300 people who were pro-vaccine but now are dead you would find more articles or video clips about those people.pr2

    • ...grossly favor one debate over another is just mind boggling on a forum that is filled with media makers.pr2
    • I get that, it is very odd to read papers ie VAERS where they make direct comparisons to flu vaccine deaths, while 'it's not a flu' can shut down any comparisonkingsteven
