  1. No, she is specifically saying that the virus is going to be just like any of the other coronaviruses that cause the common cold: "These other coronavirus are causes of the common cold and Gilbert said: “Eventually Sars-CoV-2 will become one of those.” https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/covid-19-will-just-end-up-causing-a-cold-says-oxford-vaccine-creator-sarah-gilbert-npkds93zd#top She is also saying that the virus will become less lethal, not more, as it mutates: “We normally see that viruses become less virulent as they circulate more easily and there is no reason to think we will have a more virulent version of Sars-CoV-2,” she said.
  2. These other coronavirus are causes of the common cold and Gilbert said: “Eventually Sars-CoV-2 will become one of those.” https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/covid-19-will-just-end-up-causing-a-cold-says-oxford-vaccine-creator-sarah-gilbert-npkds93zd#top Lol.
  3. Lol, as Professor Gilbert has said it will just become a common cold. You got vaccinated for, well, what will be a common cold. "These other coronavirus are causes of the common cold and Gilbert said: “Eventually Sars-CoV-2 will become one of those.” https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/covid-19-will-just-end-up-causing-a-cold-says-oxford-vaccine-creator-sarah-gilbert-npkds93zd#top
  4. Why, the vaccinated don't keep infections to themselves. Or were you not aware that the vaccinated spread the virus? In fact since the vaccines only protect 49% against the Delta variant 51% of the vaccinated will spread the virus, more than half. https://www.forbes.com/sites/roberthart/2021/08/04/fully-vaccinated-half-as-likely-to-catch-delta-covid-variant-and-less-likely-to-infect-others-study-finds/?sh=299660bd281c
  5. Obviously you missed the part where she says: “If it changes its spike protein so much that it can’t interact with that receptor, then it’s not going to be able to get inside the cell. So there aren’t very many places for the virus to go to have something that will evade immunity but still be a really infectious virus,” she said. "These other coronavirus are causes of the common cold and Gilbert said: “Eventually Sars-CoV-2 will become one of those.” https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/covid-19-will-just-end-up-causing-a-cold-says-oxford-vaccine-creator-sarah-gilbert-npkds93zd#top Either that or you don't understand what she's saying. She's saying the virus is running out of options, dangerous mutations are unlikely and it will be like a common cold.
  6. I already did, see above, where you'll find this: "The new coronavirus is unlikely to mutate into a variant that can evade vaccines because there “aren’t very many places for the virus to go”, the creator of the Oxford jab has said. Dame Sarah Gilbert, speaking yesterday on a Royal Society of Medicine webinar, played down fears of a more deadly new variant. “We normally see that viruses become less virulent as they circulate more easily and there is no reason to think we will have a more virulent version of Sars-CoV-2,” she said. Gilbert suggested, however, that illness caused by the virus would become ever milder. She said: “We tend to see slow genetic drift of the virus and there will be gradual immunity developing in the population as there is to all the other seasonal coronaviruses.” These other coronavirus are causes of the common cold and Gilbert said: “Eventually Sars-CoV-2 will become one of those.” She argued that the spike protein targeted by vaccines had only limited ability to mutate while still allowing the virus to get inside human cells. “If it changes its spike protein so much that it can’t interact with that receptor, then it’s not going to be able to get inside the cell. So there aren’t very many places for the virus to go to have something that will evade immunity but still be a really infectious virus,” she said. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/covid-19-will-just-end-up-causing-a-cold-says-oxford-vaccine-creator-sarah-gilbert-npkds93zd#top
  7. My quote of Gilbert was 100% accurate and supported by links. Kindly show where I misrepresented her, with an exact quote of what I said.
  8. From your own link: "In today’s publication we used three different approaches to estimate the number of people experiencing long COVID symptoms. These show that between 3% and 12% of people infected with coronavirus have symptoms 12 weeks after the initial infection; or between 7% and 18% when considering only people who were symptomatic at the acute phase of infection." So indeed, all under 20%. Do you even read your own links?
  9. Yes, in fact this pandemic is very much like the Spanish Flu pandemic, which had 4 waves. Once we see the fourth wave for Covid most likely that will be the last one and the virus will become a common cold, as Gilbert said.
  10. No, the point rather is that if you were to be so unfortunate as to get a blood clot in the brain and have a stroke no amount of numbers vodoo would be a consolation, it's much harder to recover from a stroke than from what we are now told will be akin to a common cold. In fact 80% of people who have Covid have a very mild course of illness or are even asymptomatic. "The majority of those who test positive for COVID-19 will survive the disease and the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) states that, based on available data, approximately 80% of those who test positive for COVID-19 experience a mild illness or are asymptomatic" https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanepe/article/PIIS2666-7762(21)00074-0/fulltext
  11. Not at all. Most estimates for Long Covid are way below 20%, however, in reality nobody really knows. The public health cost of not treating the much more numerous, much more serious health problems that have been put off to deal with, what we are now told will be a common cold, is in fact astronomical. Those who hysterically hype Covid have done so at the cost of millions of people who did not get much needed operations and treatment for serious illnesses other than Covid.
  12. Actually it was a very strong statement to say the virus was running out of options and will be like a common cold. The writing is on the wall in terms of what the virus will become. If we've learned anything it's that it is never as bad as those who believe in worst case scenarios would have you believe.
  13. Yes, and indeed well over 92% of people who have Covid survive it. In fact 80% have a very mild or asymptomatic course of illness. "The majority of those who test positive for COVID-19 will survive the disease and the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) states that, based on available data, approximately 80% of those who test positive for COVID-19 experience a mild illness or are asymptomatic " https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanepe/article/PIIS2666-7762(21)00074-0/fulltext
