2 jabs… anyone had both and still caught Covid?

[TakeTimeForU]

Just wondering if I can still get Covid and how bad it is if fully vaccinated. Anyone out there with experience of this? Also who are all these people going to be with Covid over the next few weeks as I hear cases are doubling fortnightly - how many vaccinated people hmmm.

@Theredjellybean

Mn is odd... I am double jabbed, as are all family, all dds, and all my friends and colleagues.. I work in health care... Currently vaccination lead and out of hours gp. I don't know a singke person who has caught covid after dble jabs. I haven't had a single patient either. I also vaccinate about 80 people a day, it's unusual to have more than one or two say they have had covid at any point (it's a screening question). Baffling that on Mn... There are so many people who know people who have had it post vaccination.

It sure is.

My friend is in her 20s and caught the Indian variant, she's double vaccinated. She's really poorly with it too.

Where do you live?

This is not the case here in Birmingham where colleagues and kids in schools are dropping like flies.

My friend's double jabbed, as were 4 of his friends, who've all tested positive. He's been quite ill, in his 40s.

Dropping like flies
Letting rip

I personally know noone who has caught Covid after being double jabbed despite lots of them being in hospital healthcare and a couple of families where the kids have caught it but the double vaccinated parents haven't.

I am VERY wary of threads like this having seen evidence of a bot operation on Twitter that is promoting the idea that double jabbed people are getting really sick with Covid.

I'm sure lots of posters on here are genuine. But with everything on social media, it's always worth taking everything you read with a pinch of salt.

I know someone in their early 30s with both jabs (CV group 6) who has Covid. They have symptoms and feel poorly but they're not particularly unwell with it fortunately.

Everyone else I know who has it are either unvaccinated (babies and primary age children) or have only had one jab (adults late 20s and early 30s).

@DinosaurDiana

I know 2 people double jabbed that have it, and are unwell but at home.

The couple I know are 40’s and 30’s, no kids. Both double jabbed. He had the positive test first, her a couple of days later. Both wear masks when required. He is struggling to get up the stairs, has to have a rest at the top. Lost his smell and taste. She is not so poorly, can care for him, but needs painkillers and to go to bed in the afternoon.

Anecdotally everyone who I personally know to have had covid in the last say 6 weeks (8/9) people is double vaccinated

I probably already posted on this thread, but just to reiterate (I’m not a bot), several teachers from the school along the road from me are “very unwell but not hospitalised” according to the head and are all double jabbed. A few friends and I were going to meet for a drink last night but they all cancelled because neighbours and friends are positive for covid and all double jabbed. They didn’t say how unwell they are or why ether asymptomatic. I don’t know (personally) of any unvaxxed who are pos for covid locally.

Nice to be considered a liar🤨

I am in the North East, a hotspot at the moment..

Where are you @Theredjellybean and all the other doubters?

As I said a few times, I am not terribly ill, have never taken a lateral flow test and am currently isolating with my DH, also tested positive. My ancient father who I visited daily in the run up to feeling ill is negative, my grandchildren who virtually live here are negative.

Go figure.

I know 2 people first hand with 2 jabs who have it. One in her 20s, coughy, aching, one in her 50s no symptoms (caught on LFT, confirmed PCR). I also know one single jabbed with it (20s), a bit of a cold. In fact I don't know anyone with it who hasn't been jabbed, but none unwell really, which is the important thing.

I'm in the North East too. Although technically double jabbed i only had my second a few days before symptoms started.

My friend, a hospital doctor in Wales. Double jabbed a few months ago, got Covid this week. Just a headache and some fatigue.

I’m a teacher and 2 of my colleagues, both double jabbed, have Covid - Delta variant judging by symptoms. Both fit abs healthy and both quite ill, one is in hospital with it.

This is from a week or 2 ago but www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/theobserver/commentisfree/2021/jun/27/why-most-people-who-now-die-with-covid-have-been-vaccinated

Get well soon 😁

And that applies to everyone else suffering at the moment.

The PHE figures are huge numbers of cases in unvaccinated people (71,932 as at 21st June) compared with only 10,834 fully vaccinated. Of the unvaccinated there were only 733 hospitalisations directly due to covid, which is 1%, and 92 deaths (0.13% of pos unvaccinated cases).
Of fully vaccinated pos cases, 173 were hospitalised directly due to covid (1.6%) and there were 118 deaths (1% of pos fully vaccinated cases).
I think that the high numbers of unvaccinated cases are probably school kids who are asymptomatic but testing positive, however there does still seem to be a much higher percentage of hospitalisations in fully vaccinated positive cases than in unvaccinated cases, and the explanation given in the press does not explain this. As long as we have an unvaccinated population to compare against then we have clear evidence of how well (or not) the vaccines are performing. Their argument would make more sense if we no longer had any unvaccinated people and many were still dying from covid. At present, their argument doesn’t make sense. If we removed under 18s from the unvaccinated numbers it would probably even out the percentages a bit however it does not at all look like there are fewer deaths in fully vaccinated cases, whether or not there are generally fewer cases. If you look at the figures for partially vaccinated cases, hospitalisations and deaths, they are also higher than in the unvaccinated cases. They need to publish a breakdown by age, and not just tell us it’s a good thing that most deaths are in the fully vaccinated. In both groups it’s mainly the very elderly and very unwell who are dying. The vaccines were supposed to protect those very people.

I'd say it is far odder to work in health care and not be aware of this occurrence. There have been news articles reporting the numbers of double-jabbed doctors who have died overseas, as Delta infections rise; articles discussing the different symptoms those who are double jabbed are experiencing; articles discussing the percentages of those double-jabbed catching the Delta variant who are likely to get seriously ill or not, be hospitalised or not as a result, and/or die.

0.35% is the official proportion of those double vaccinated then catching Covid according to the latest react study.

thats under 64

So doesn't that mean one in 300? so not surprising many people don't know anyone that has caught it after being double jabbed

of course my maths could be completely wrong..

My DB is currently isolating with Covid having caught up from his son. DB works on healthcare so has been double jabbed for a while. Also someone where DH works also tested positive last week after a night out. They are also an HCP so double jabbed a few months ago.

I'm also in the north east, also double jabbed (AZ) certainly not a bot but I've currently got covid. Mildly so far thankfully and probably because I'm double jabbed!

My 2 dc (11&13) have covid obviously unvaccinated because of their ages, whereas my dh and ds1 (21) are both double jabbed and so far don't seem to have covid. My other family members who I've been in contact with who are all double jabbed are also negative.

Dh double jabbed from May. Tested positive last week. Mainly cold symptoms. 2 days of feeling rough but still ate and enjoyed TV etc. Was sneezy for days before he felt rough, we presumed hayfever.

I in 25, according to Sir David King last month.
