I don't know for sure but I would expect that was the case.
That said, if you have been vaccinated then you have no need to worry.

Tricky. I'd say yes on the grounds of the wonders of childhood immunisation. I'd strongly oppose a mandatory vaccination using a rushed product that hasn't had the proper long-term safety trials.

This is the problem- no vaccine can be declared 100% safe. Some use egg protein, for example.

It is not an unrealistic situation; it is a near certain reality for a few but, statistically, you are choosing to dismiss the effects it would have on them so that a few others can parade their autonomy.
The question's asked because it reveals the petulance of those prepared to see others die for their principles.
I recently read that the vaccine may be of little use to old people and only to younger generations. What you will see is younger people having to bear the risk of a rushed through vaccine for something that doesnt bother them much.
I will take a lot of forcing to take something that we have not tested properly and have not idea what long term effects it might have.

It's a nonsensical argument and I've outlined why above. Vaccines do not demonstrate 100% efficacy, nor are all individuals able to have them. The risk is there whether a small number of people refuse it or not.

Yep. It’s why it’s been so hushed up. They made it obligatory for some farmers to kill themselves. I suppose when all the victims are dead, they will come clean

That is what they have the 30 year rule for!

Regarding Covid-19, it is possible that there will never be a useful vaccine for it, or if there is, it only covers a particular strain. I believe it is only a matter of time before useful treatments for the illness become available which will go some way to protecting people against the virus.

You state there will not be 100% efficacy - an obvious fact - and go on to say that, because this is so, having some more who are also potentially infectable / infective is not a problem (just think that through again
)... and you reckon my argument is non-nonsensical...

I don't require 100 percent safe. I do require it to go through the same standard testing as any other new drug would. Covid-19 is not exactly polio is it....

It's pretty much compulsory here in France. In so much that you have to have had all the key vaccines with the documentation to prove it, to be able to attend School.

Must not be compulsory. But happy to make some things conditional upon vaccination. As above, travel. Perhaps even FOC NHS treatment for covid19 should be conditional...

I agree but scientists are warning that the vaccine may not work for old people and therefore would have to vaccinate the young to protect the old
Wonder why they think that
Covid-19 vaccine may not work for at-risk older people, say scientists
Lords committee told children may have to be immunised to protect their grandparents

Something to do with inflammation i believe. Too early to be sure i imagine. I dont really want the responsibility of protecting old people thrust upon me and having to take a vaccine that has not been properly tested
