No, it doesn't make more sense. Unvaccinated people are still at much higher risk of actually getting sick if they get covid, and they are also at higher risk of catching it and spreading it further than vaccinated people. LFTs are so unreliable that they're going to miss lots of cases. If everyone is vaccinated, it matters far less if a few positive cases sneak into an event. One positive case may spread to 20 other people, compared to many, many more if most people weren't vaccinated. So the overall impact of that event on wider society and the health service is much worse.
Well, if you check the statistics, you’ll see that young people (the usual group frequenting night clubs) are very low risk of serious illness/hospitalisation anyway. And recent studies showed that if a person is infected then they are just as likely to spread it whether they’re vaccinated or unvaccinated.
You seem to be missing the point that unvaccinated people can already enter these clubs with a negative lft. My point was that everyone should have to test, regardless of their vaccine status. It may not pick up all the cases but it will definitely pick up more than not testing people at all.
And again, you’re forgetting that one of the concerns at the moment is that two doses of the vaccine are not as effective against omicron. Most people in the night-club going age bracket will have only had two doses and will not be eligible for a booster so cases will still spread among the vaccinated.[/quote]
Sigh.
How are you STILL not getting it? An unvaccinated person is much, much more likely to catch covid in the first place. If you have 100 people who are vaccinated and 100 people who are unvaccinated and they all do LFTs, there is a statistically far higher chance that the unvaccinated people will have false negatives because there's statistically a far higher chance they're infected in the first place. Are you trying to claim this isn't true?
In addition to that, even if the unvaccinated attendees didn't have covid going in, they are far more likely to catch it when they're in there than vaccinated attendees, and therefore more likely to spread it further in the community. Are you trying to claim this isn't true?
Yes, cases will still spread among the vaccinated who have only had two doses...we must be ten posts in by now and you still haven't grasped that it's not about stopping the spread, it's about reducing it. Even a far less effective vaccine is much better than nothing at all, both for spread and severity of illness. And these 'young people' (funny you keep saying that because in London plenty of clubbers are well into their thirties and beyond) will likely have had boosters very soon, within the next month or two.
