The issue is that it is a whole new technique and is untested over a long period of time. I’m 99% sure it will be fine. So if you are over 70 or have underlying health conditions that put you at high risk then on the risk reward ratio it is definitely worth it. For kids or women who want to get pregnant it seems a little more out of kilter on the risk reward ratio, and we are all being carried along on the wave of vaccine will end it all and we can get back to normal.How vaccines are made has changed wholesale since they gave folk a "live" dose of whatever they were vaccinating against. Effectively all you need to do now is tweak the viral DNA so the body recognises it.
The purpose of lockdown, mitigation etc was to stop there being hundreds of thousands of sick folk. People often say "Ah yes 99.80% don`t get ill"........... imagine if 0.5% of the population of the UK needed hospital treatment.
That is 330,000 people trying to get into 141,000 beds.
Way back at the start they were predicting 250k+ dead............. hasn`t happened.
Imagine if they had said this will take a 12-18months to sort out...... non-compliance would abound and more get sick.
Vaccine passport to go on holiday, seems fair enough no different to Yellow fever status etc for some countries..... vaccine status to go to the pub, that`s a no from me and probably where we will end up.
