This study (from the UK) shows infections ... and separates two dose, one dose, and no dose cases.

It can be clearly seen how many one dose people have contracted covid. A highly significant number of them. Many, many more than fully vaccinated people.



Almost half of UK COVID infections are in people who are at least partly vaccinated, study suggests. But the cases were much milder.

Brilliant find, SA, thanks for posting. It’s encouraging news, but still means a lot of ill people passing it around

Just need more people vaccinated worldwide to slow down the rate of new variants, and limit the opportunity for them to mutate.

“BRITS will have to show proof of two Covid jabs to get into nightclubs from the end of September, Boris Johnson announced on Freedom Day.

Freedom Day got underway early as huge queues of Brits entered clubs at midnight on Monday for dancing, boozing and partying without any face masks or social distancing.”

Am I reading this correctly? This requirement does not kick in for 2 more months? So until then, the clubs are wide open with no masks, vaccinated or not?

It that's the case, the whole thing sounds Brilliant!

Genius, isn’t it!

This is our version of giving away donuts or cars or spliffs or whatever. Hey kids, grab your jab right now (with your second in… oooh coincidentally…. about 2 months) or there’ll be no more partying when summer ends! It’s a follow on from ‘eat all your dinner or you get no dessert’. FFS.

It's more like, you can eat all the dessert you want for the next 2 months, but if you haven't finished your dinner by then, you can't have any more.

This Just In:

U.S. citizens should avoid travel to the United Kingdom because of a spike in coronavirus cases, two government agencies said Monday.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. State Department each raised the alert levels for the region to their highest levels.

The CDC raised the travel advisory for the U.K. to a level 4, meaning "avoid travel,'' citing "very high'' levels of coronavirus cases. The alert had been at level 3, which advised travelers to be fully vaccinated before travel to the U.K. and recommended that unvaccinated travelers avoid nonessential travel. The U.K. travel alert has been at level 3 since May.

"Because of the current situation in the United Kingdom, even fully vaccinated travelers may be at risk for getting and spreading COVID-19 variants,'' the CDC said in its update.

Opinion piece .....


Why 'freedom day' is the latest example of COVID propaganda

First, appeal to the instincts rather than the reason of the audience, and second, build around a slogan. Then repeat, repeat, repeat.

“freedom day” could be compared to VE Day (Victory in Europe Day, May 8 1945) and ought to be regarded as the latest in a long line of rhetorical associations with the second world war that have been encouraged over the last 16 months.

Concepts like “freedom” and “liberty” have been invoked by propagandists since the 16th-century Protestant Reformation and subsequent Enlightenment period.

To this end, the popular use of “freedom” to describe the end of pandemic restrictions forms part of a populist audience seduction strategy, using emotional rather than rational rhetoric.

“Freedom day” has been so-called because the powerful want us to think in certain ways about this day, and to exclude or overlook other aspects of the pandemic that it deems undesirable.

Calling it “freedom day” attempts to nullify the public by encouraging us not to scrutinise government and media performance as we should. It reflects an attempt to move the discussion from science, sociology and public health to patriotism and emancipation.

YouGov

Reasons people refuse vaccinations:

Get this- one in five Americans believes the US government is using the Covid-19
vaccine to microchip the population!!!!

Lol I doubt people that believe that are participating in a survey based in the UK about the US government.

 

[SoCalDavidS]

In the latest in head-scratching news, one in five Americans believes the COVID-19 vaccine contains a microchip, a recent Economist/YouGov poll reveals.

When respondents were asked how likely they thought it to be true that "the U.S. government is using [the vaccine] to microchip the population," 20 percent of U.S. adults said they thought it "definitely/probably true" and 14 percent weren't sure. 66 percent denied such a claim as "definitely/probably false." Notably, when broken down by vaccination status, 51 percent of "vaccine rejectors" believed the microchip theory, as opposed to just 9 percent of those who are fully vaccinated.

On a more broad level, 85 percent of those who don't want to get vaccinated believed the "threat of the coronavirus was exaggerated for political reasons."

The Economist and YouGov surveyed 1,500 people between July 10-13, 2021. Results have a margin of error of approximately 3 percent. See more results at YouGov.

51 percent of unvaccinated individuals think the COVID-19 vaccine contains a microchip

Those are pics of one million Pfizer doses arriving in Australia overnight.
From now, we are supposed to get one million doses every week!

Hopes new COVID vaccine supplies will kickstart national rollout

This is exciting. I feel assured that the organizational work is in place already, so you will have the population vaccinated quickly.

August 14 - September 4 is 18 days. Is she receiving Pfizer? Pfizer flooded into Canada, but when people needed their second shot, only Moderna was available. AstraZeneca was banned. That led to mixing vaccination types.

"COVID-19 vaccines are not interchangeable. If you received a Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, you should get the same product for your second shot.

The timing between your first and second shots depends on which vaccine you received.

• If you received the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, you should get your second shot 3 weeks (or 21 days) after your first.
• If you received the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine, you should get your second shot 4 weeks (or 28 days) after your first."

COVID-19 Vaccination

I think the accounts of mixing vaccines is over estimated. I've been working at the mass vaccination clinics since early March and have seen only a few who received AZ who then had a different vaccine for their 2nd dose, and that was only after medical counselling. I don't believe we ever mixed Pfizer and Moderna.

And, as supplies came in sooner than anticipated, most people have not had to wait four months for their second dose. Everyone getting them now, is waiting just the required 21 and 28 days for their 2nd shot.

So I think that the supply crisis may have caused some problems initially, but it is ticking along beautifully now.

That really doesn't seem true to me. Perhaps one in five believes some kind of government conspiracy, but microchips? Nah, I'm not buying it. Is the source credible?

Health experts have recommended mixing vaccines, even though WHO said there is insufficient evidence to know the effectiveness of mixed vaccines. Some provinces with a Pfizer shortage have been distributing Moderna as a second shot after Pfizer.

"Health experts and authorities across the country have approved Moderna as a second dose if your first was AstraZeneca or Pfizer. Last week, the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) updated its second dose guidance: for those who first received AstraZeneca, it recommends getting a mRNA vaccine (Pfizer or Moderna) as the second dose because of the continued risk of rare blood clots with AstraZeneca as well as “emerging evidence suggesting better immune responses” from mixing and matching with a second dose of mRNA."​

My first dose was Pfizer. Why am I being offered Moderna for the second?

Canada will finally open its borders, first to the US - CNN

 

[musicaljoke]

This Bloomberg article says that Canada has now surpassed the US in fully vaccinated people.

48.8% of the population is fully vaccinated in Canada (55% of all age-eligible people).
48.6% of the population in the US.

On Monday, they expect Trudeau to announce changes to the US/Canada border (on the eve of a likely election campaign). Not sure if that means today, or next Monday.

They have now approved Pfizer for children aged 12 and over.

Canada Passes U.S. in Covid-19 Vaccinations After Slow Start

It's encouraging. Our provincial vaccination rate for Ontario is 80.1% of adults have had their first vaccine, and 63% have had their second. Once vaccines are recommended for children, I believe that those adults will vaccinate their children.

If adults don't get vaccinated, then there is concern that the kids won't be vaccinated either.

Athletes to sleep on 'anti-sex' cardboard beds at Olympic Games

No sex for you! "Anti Sex Beds" made from cardboard, will only hold weight of ONE person, for sleeping only. This is to curtail any activity that may spread Covid.

(Of course, because they are only gonna bounce in the bed, just saying ).

That seems to be the most prevalent reason around here followed by “alien DNA”.
