Will this pandemic ever end as the infections in the UK surge again.

I hope you're too pessimistic. If Pfizer third jab actually prevents infection in 95pct of cases (reported recently), then there is certainly a way forward, eventually. The world is still in a  learning stage. As emergence of new variants rely on transmission we should hope that there is hope.

We all, wherever we are, will have to learn to live with this awful Corona virus with all its old and new mutations. Vaccinations, including boosters, and all other precautionary measures will be of great assistance, but although absolutely necessary, will not eradicate the virus. Opening up, albeit in a careful and orderly manner, is an absolute necessity, as one can‘t close up the world wide economy for ever.

So far, pretty much every opening up has been followed by a spike in cases in deaths.  Hard to open up until more are vaccinated.  It's the #1 weapon we have against this enemy.

You reckon? If they don't open up NOW, IMO there won't be much world economy left to open up.

Many countries are doing OK.  But yes, quite a few not so good.  And most of them have not done well with vaccinations.  Like Thailand.

Is that the same Fauci that was caught out lying about the Gain of Function research in China funded by the NIH that he was in charge of? The same Fauci that approved killing beagles in Tunisia with sand flies. Yep, a true hero!

You really need a better source for your news.  Google the above and mostly far right and fake news websites are talking about beagles.  It's very misleading.

In this case, it is likely true that research conducted at UGR was at least in part funded by NIAID and NIH with taxpayer dollars, though it is unclear whether such allocations were personally approved by Fauci.

uk tests more people per head of pop than anywhere else by a long way,each person has been tested almost 5 times so u r gonna see a lot of positives,the reality is that deaths are very low.lower than theyve ever been.so.........some people arnt willing to vax so they will be effected.it appears theyre anti vaxers minorities and young people,at 50k a day though it wont take long for that set to get natural immunity and a fair no die so problem solved!its up to them take your pick,if your young youll be ok,the others will do what theyve always done....blame someone else.

That is dangerously close to dictatorship, I understand what you indicate, however I have a problem with  mandating health interventions on a national scale. Eugenics comes to mind

Wasn't that Annie Lennox and another bloke ?

Masks can be effective and stop transmission

Yes.

 

Wombat please note: As most virus transmission is airborne, mask-wearing obviously must considerably reduce transmission. It took the so-called advanced West a while to accept this but they finally got the message, and it is only the minority with learning disabilities (No disrespect meant to those with Learning Disabilities) who still refuse to accept this.

The urge to open up regardless of surging infections is Tory politics pandering to capitalist lobbying  by their profiteering supporters and has nothing to do with concern for their fellow man.

Bojo continues to blither and blather not wanting to upset his hard right avoiding soft solutions such as masks home working hygiene which is all that's needed to slow down the infection rate and because of his dithering encourages the Covid deniers anti maskers superspreaders who are responsible for the current surge

I was an early adopter of the Vaccines and I certainly am not hateful nor angry towards others who made different decisions to mine. For whatever reason.

Decisions to vaccinate should be made with informed consent and without coercion. 

People make decisions on many things to do with their health over the years and many decisions are complex decisions they make,  

I respect their right to make different decisions to ones I may choose to make, and if asked will attempt to give them facts and and supportive knowledge, to allow them make their decisions on their bodies and the responsibility which that decision entails.

 

 

You are in the minority then.  The majority of us who are vaccinated are angry at those who won't...mainly for ridiculous and selfish reasons.  Time to end this foolishness.  Time to get tough with the hold outs.  Their decisions have a direct impact on our lives.  So no, it's not up to them.

It will end when governments stop trying to control something they clearly cannot control.

 

I don’t understand why it’s going to take a decade and be far too late to understand  things that have been clear for a very longtime. You can’t stop Covid. You have to live with it. All Covid regulations and restrictions should be immediately stopped, that way we are just dealing with the virus, and not the virus PLUS the wake all these regulations leave for everyone.

Your opinions are what you want to have a direct impact on lives of those around you. People who don’t want to vax want everyone to do exactly as they please. You have it backwards. The moment you truly make an effort to understand this distinction, is the moment you realize you’re wrong. The conversation may be different (and you may have a point) if it was a vaccine with a decade or so research behind it’s possible side effects. But that isn’t the case, and the vaccine also is not proven to provide long term protection vs people’s natural immunity (in fact the opposite seems to be the case at this point). 
 

why are they prohibiting the use of some of these vaccines in Denmark and other countries? Why don’t the companies that manufacture the vaccines take responsibility for possible side effect, as they do with other medicines? And a million other questions none of you will answers, because there are no answers except for the rhetoric the governments are feeding you and you ate hook line and sinker. I can’t get over that, who actually believes governments?

Don't agree.  You're in the minority.

And there you have it............. 

 

This is the type of rhetoric that is prevalent on anti-vaccination websites, and which attracts more sceptics with more misinformation, and this helps drive the people to make decisions against vaccination.

 

Research has shown that the type of misinformation as regards the safety of the vaccines, supposed side effects, time taken to develop them and sometimes involvement of "big Pharma" is prevalent in certain circles and stokes the anti-vaccination campaigners.
