I’m assuming that because you can’t give a straight “yes” the answer is no.What difference does that make?
I contracted COVID-19. People everywhere vaxxed are still contracting it, and a lot are spreading it...most times unknowingly.
It's like wearing a helmet on a.crotch rocket. Some people just get that sense of complete protection, and then plug into the back of a.semi.
A lot of vaxxed folk are going thru life feeling like they are protected, and in reality, spreading this thing.
We just crept up to 80,000 "breakthrough" cases where I live. They used to call this "vaccine failure" when I was a kid. 4.5% of those people have died. Vaccinated breakthrough case death rate tops the national death rate in the US since the start (1.6%). They like to water that down to breakthrough death rate is 0.01%. This is true for the entire pandemic, but it is dishonest reporting.
It doesn't matter if I got vaxxed. I contracted it. It came from a vaxxed individual. I'm not knockin.him for his choice to get it. I'm pissed at his continued recklessness because of it. This is simply one of many stupid things this guy has done. It's surprising he still has all his fingers and toes. The fallout from it has reached deep into the family, both vaxxed and unvaxxed. It could have been prevented if the idiot woulda used a kleenex.
Having the vaccine doesn’t stop you getting the virus, and I think most people understand that. What is does do is greatly reduce the symptoms and chances of dying.
That is the reason I have had both doses and my booster. I now have 93% protection according to the medical advice.
I have continued to wear a face mask in enclosed spaces even since they became non-mandatory a while back. I continue to carry antibacterial wipes in my handbag and wipe down shopping trolley handles before touching them, and carry antibacterial hand gel etc. (Much to my daughters amusement, as she doesn’t).
I do a lateral flow test before I go into work (just one day a week at the moment), or to any other ‘event’ were I will be indoors with people I don’t normally mix with.
Masks are now being bought back as mandatory with this new variant discovered in South Africa now having known cases in the UK.
IMO, people should be moaning less about having their liberties removed because they have to wear a mask and doing more to prevent the spread and risk to themselves - we all complain about the ‘Nanny State’ when rules get imposed on us but it is our own health/life and I for one, will remain proactive in maintaining that to the best it can be with my other long term health conditions.
