Breaking news. Number of people post vaccine hospitalisation & deaths

Good morning

Good details in reports re the number of people that went into hospital follwing their first jab at less than 3 weeks post jab and 21 days post jabs and deaths.
Does not say if AS or pifzer or both.

Study is limited and further research is required.
The bottom line is, even after getting your jabs, social distancing is important as most will be aware here.

It's a worrying read but don't forget this is a limited study and further, detailed research is required and most that ended up in hospital post jab are described as previously being "frail."

So, please don't forget social distancing.
Get you jabs imo and SD.

Social distancing is not a bloody courtesy.
It means some businesses cannot open obviously.

Not sure @Jaxhog is bothered about thousands of businesses being forced to close. As long as no one gets too close to her.

My apologies as by SD I mean to wear masks in all confined spaces, wash hands use sanitisers and nothing more.

To wear a mask in confined and even open, crowed areas is no big deal and will keep us all safer and some advance, educated countries already do that ie by choice.

People have a short memory.

It's worrying when people confuse science reports in the papers, with what scientists have said.

e.g. but I think they did say 100% from death

NO Scientist has ever claimed this - it would be ludicrous to! Particularly when you're dealing with people who may have such a weak immune system, that the vaccine is useless to them.

My advice - take EVERYTHING you read about science in a newspaper - ANY paper not just the tabloids, with a pinch of salt. What you read is ALWAYS distorted by a reporter with zilch in the way of scientific background who is trying their best to jazz up what they've been told in order to sell it.

The key phrase from the OP's linked report incidentally is

*In this early descriptive analysis, mortality appears to remain high for people in highrisk vaccination tiers who are admitted to hospital with symptomatic SARS-CoV-2
infection (COVID-19) despite vaccination 21 day or more previously *

In other words, vaccines don't work very well for the very frail/immuno compromised people which is why their best protection is not vaccines, but herd immunity. This is standard for every infectious disease.
