Word is they are going to give us the oxford or the other jab, not the Pfizer for second jab as they believe it may provide better resistance than having 2 jabs of one type. We'll see....

They both function in different ways so how does that work? Is it not like mixing petrol and diesel and expecting your bike to go faster and be more economical?

AstraZeneca actually protects better if there is 12 weeks between jabs. Protection on just a single jab is better than Pfizer.

From 'boner' to 'corona'?

Just saw a report, positives are down 77% here in the US, only 4.7% of population is vaccinated, scientists believe we are approaching herd immunity

I'm far from being well informed on communicable diseases, but from what I've heard and read so far about COVID-19, herd immunity seems very unlikely. I'd be assuming any such claims were from an unreliable source.
There's a lot of misinformation about COVID that regularly gets regurgitated as fact. Donald Trump inadvertently hit the nail on the head with his malapropism when he referred to herd immunity as "herd mentality".

And sadly nearly 60% of those who have died in the UK were amongst those classed as disabled.

What I didn't realise is just how many people in the UK have serious long term illnesses.

Slipped in early as our medical centre had to fill some numbers with late notice - fastest finger first - did feel a bit secondhand the next day

Report came from John Hopkins research, a very reputable organization , and please don't link my comments with anything to do with TrumpI'm far from being well informed on communicable diseases, but from what I've heard and read so far about COVID-19, herd immunity seems very unlikely.

Would be very interested to see a link to that report. Everything I've read from that organisation aligns with reports here in the UK - i.e. a minimal level of 60-70% of the population being immune to the virus is needed to stop the epidemic from continuing to grow.

And for those believing reports that the Astra Zeneca jab always causes an adverse reaction I pleased to say that mine didn't!

Am I the only one that will not be taking the vaccine?
