Three fully vaccinated persons I know tested positive yesterday. All three are considered high risk for negative outcomes. One diabetic, one has a history of clotting and DVT, and all 3 are obese. Their ages range from 42 to 56, one male and 2 female.
2 currently in ICU, 1 having serious respiratory difficulties and may be hospitalized today.
The 2 in ICU 2 given AZ, and one SP, the most recently vaccinated got their last shot 2 months ago, the earliest got it 3 months ago. All 3 work together in the same company.
Reduced risk of transmission? Ok, if you say so.
Reduced risk of severe disease and needing hospitalization. Mhmm, ok.
Please forgive my skepticism.
EDIT
Forgot to mention
The company only has 8 employees, and all but 1 are vaccinated.
So, that's almost 50% of their fully vaccinated workforce that contracted the disease, and 100% of those who did are having severe symptoms.
What are the odds of this.
Feel free to do the math yourself
People smarter than you or me have weighed the pros and cons of the vaccine and lockdowns and determined that one helps us out of the pandemic and health crisis.88sins wrote:teems1 wrote:Slippery slope fallacy.

Illogical, maybe.
But in the same way you shouldn't use your being comfortable with taking anything anyone in a tie tells you as gospel and demanding everyone else do as you do. Sometimes it's good to question things.
Anyhow, this all entirely hypothetical son, enhance your calm.

A vaccinated person may have the same viral loads as an unvaccinated person, but that high level of virus lasts only three to four days compared with an unvaccinated person who could be contagious for up to 10 days, said Suresh Mittal, professor of virology at Purdue University’s College of Veterinary Medicine.Mmoney607 wrote:PariaMan wrote:Or maybe that one unvaccinated gave the others it

Vaccinated and unvaccinated can spread the virus and both carry the same viral load. If the vaccines were effective, then the vaccinated people should not have been infected.
Again, for the millionth time, the vaccines are effective because they significantly lower the chances of getting infected in the first place. Hence why in many of the US you seeing that 90%+ of the new cases in many US states are unvaxxed.Mmoney607 wrote:PariaMan wrote:Or maybe that one unvaccinated gave the others it

OK but why 1,300 people dead in T&T ?
What killing these people ?
Because booster shots are vaccines.Mmoney607 wrote:ed360123 wrote:Again, for the millionth time, the vaccines are effective because they significantly lower the chances of getting infected in the first place.

So why the need for booster shots?
Booster shots further decrease the chances of getting infected, especially against the newer variants that have appeared since the initial development of the vaccines.Mmoney607 wrote:ed360123 wrote:Again, for the millionth time, the vaccines are effective because they significantly lower the chances of getting infected in the first place.

UK scientists claim herd immunity is not possible so as variants mutate new booster sales and profits will increase .
As everyone knows if vaccinated you can still get COVID and die .

can is not the same has likely. everyone knows u can also get hit by a car and die tonight. u can also win the lotto.
u are far less likely to be hospitalized and die when vaccinated.

There is a lot of data showing that people are less likely to be hospitalized and die when vaccinated.

Well I don't know as I have not seen studies on the other variants but delta yes. If delta, why not the others that already exist and are still to come?

A vaccinated person may have the same viral loads as an unvaccinated person, but that high level of virus lasts only three to four days compared with an unvaccinated person who could be contagious for up to 10 days, said Suresh Mittal, professor of virology at Purdue University’s College of Veterinary Medicine.
“Individuals who are vaccinated have a good immune response. If they get in contact with people who are infected, they might get infected, but the majority may not transmit,” he said.
It's even more uncommon for a vaccinated person to transmit the virus to another vaccinated person, though "not impossible," said Dr. Shaun Truelove, assistant scientist at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

High viral load for 3-4 days, this could mean that the person is still contagious although the viral load decreased after the 4th day. That still pretty high risk in my opinion.
