This is tragic...she'll have to wait 4 years for another opportunity because a test that is going to decommissioned 5 months from now..a test that is over sensitive and can pick up viral fragments from months gone by labelled her COVID Positive... It is just crazy this is the world we're living in.
It’s not that vaccines are not effective - they are but data is demonstrating this it doesn’t last. And isn’t a flu vaccine - dead virus and all that...it’s something that long effects of which are not tested - and if doesn’t stop transmission and protection doesn’t appear to last.. what’s the point.. as crazy as it sounds vaccine followed by natural infection might be safest way to get antibodies if your compromised...or simply if you re young just to get it...the antibodies appear to last decades
We're talking about tiny risks here - 1 in 1000 for death from COVID. You may cut your risk for maybe 3-6 months tops...then it's um you need another booster..then the risk of side effects increase. The bait has always been protection from hospitalisation and death - the switch is this oops it don't last that long...Thats what's happening in Israel, Iceland, UK, Seychelles and certain states in the US. Ultimately natural immunity through infection seems to be the only antibody stimulation that lasts to date.
99.9% don't die of the disease. Simple fact. And in Iceland adult population is 90% vaccinated and they just had their highest daily case load (mostly vaxed people)...oops..so no if everyone is vaccinated the pandemic will still rage...
The kicker is that 2 months before the Pandemic PMH was already running out of beds cancelling elective surgeries etc. Pandemic has made worse - sure - you panic people by telling them there is a killer virus going around they are gonna start thinking the worst, banging to get in Hospital when really bed rest and few Advil may just as well do the trick...there is one person in ICU PMH (at least on the July 25th update) but all this hand ringing about beds is essentially the status quo at PM. And where on earth are those fancy tents Samaritons Purse left us..?
Dr Sands: “These are chronic problems and if you have a shortage of 440 plus nurses across the healthcare system, you are not going to fix that problem in the short term."
2019:
At the critical care block at PMH, Burrows said while the beds are a welcome addition, the hospital is currently 200 beds short."
January 2020: Just before the Pandemic kicked off..
Alt 1: prior immunity is effective - the 5 million cases the UK had in previous waves and countless undiagnosed cases have antibodies which is paying dividends in the Delta Wave while vaccine efficacy is free falling.
Alt 2: Excessive death in 2020 has used up the 'dry tinder' - a callus way to describe folks that were 6 months were going to die anyway - but in essence the 2020 culling has effectively removed the population that were most likely to die anyway - vaccinated or not. Vaccine isn't protecting people - COVID just isn't finding people that die easy. This is firstly reflected in the fact England is actually is experiencing below average death for the 20 weeks in the high age groups. And secondly in that 90% of the cases in England are under the age 50.
So...You do realise that even if there was enough vaccine and if everybody took it the virus would still be spreading and cases would still be going through the roof...and more than likely the elderly and sick among would still be in hospital and PHM would likely still be full, understaffed staffed and have bed shortages....just like it did long before covid...
2019 "At yesterday’s official bed donation ceremony at the critical care block at PMH, Burrows said while the beds are a welcome addition, the hospital is currently 200 beds short."
Dr. Sands said that it is a problem that cannot be solved in a day or a week. “These are chronic problems and if you have a shortage of 440 plus nurses across the healthcare system, you are not going to fix that problem in the short term.
Just stupidity/publicity...your vaccinated employees are still going to walking around spreading the virus...to your vaccinated or unvaccinated customers.
