Sure, unfortunately, a few people with unforeseen health issues will react badly to the vaccine, the governments job is to look after the many not the few. Many sit on their computers or their backsides in the villages spreading malicious nonsense and what they don't know, (which is quite a lot), they make up! It is proven science, vaccinations save lives and by and large protect the majority of people from the worst effects of the virus. They should put pressure on these anti-vax groups, because it is the unvaccinated that allow these variants to strengthen and evolve. The powers that be should threaten with refusing to treat in the hospitals those who refuse vaccines or can't be bothered,where they are putting health workers lives at risk. Incidentally, speaking to my son last night in the UK, where the vast majority are vaccinated and boosters have had a big response, he says people are back to normal and do not dwell on or have conversations about Coronavirus. He said the biggest talking point these days in the workplace of the UK is the war in Ukraine! Your son is spot on , here in the UK , Covid is yesterdays news. All restrictions are lifted as of the end of the week. Still plenty of infections but for the vaccinated the symptoms are largely manageable. The seriously ill cases tend to be unvaccinated people , Darwin's law at work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenterry Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 World War 111 is more likely to happen than a countrywide panic from a new variant of Covid, as is global warming if the planet is still up and running after Putin's genocide destruction of Ukraine.

Even with lower levels of hospitalization, when you have a huge number infected, the actual number of hospitalizations will be high and deaths will increase. Exactly that. And when the hospitals are full, or enough hospital staff are off work because they are ill , then what happens when you have a stroke, or motor accident, or fall off a ladder....

It's quite worrying that it took a court order to get them to release the possible side effects of their vaccines. I can understand why they might want to keep them from public view… well, sort of. But why hide them from doctors and others in the medical profession? We already know you can't sue these companies for harmful side effects, so they're not hiding from potential lawsuits.

geisha Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I know lots of people in Phuket who probably caught this new strain and we’re not ill, not even fever, just runny nose and cough, like an ordinary cold. Lasted 4 to 6 days. Friends in Austria also all had similar, went through all the family, same outcome. Everyone I know were vaccinated by the way and mostly in the 60s to mid 70s.

Yet Moderna is saying that a 4th shot is not needed unless you are elderly or sick. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/moderna-4th-vaccine-dose_n_622fe22be4b0fe0944da5f74 Moderna’s president said Monday that a fourth dose of its COVID-19 vaccine will likely not be necessary for the general public, but encouraged it for older people and the immunocompromised — and said that an extra booster will “provide a benefit to anyone who gets it.” Stephen Hoge, who heads the vaccine-maker, told Business Insider that the company was “strongly” recommending and encouraging a fourth COVID shot for adults over the age of 50 or with compromised immune systems. But he hesitated to call a fourth dose “necessary.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not forget that the virus is so bad that the majority of people need to take a test to discover that they are "sick". Rumours in Thailand about the virus generally = Fearmongering. Your post is not consistent with reality. Yes, most people have mild symptoms with the current variant. But, the unvaccinated are filling up hospitals. And, a new variant may emerge that is more lethal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
