butlers   271 #10598 Posted November 10, 2021 Public Health England estimated that the vaccination programme had directly averted over 82,100 hospitalisations up to 8 August this year. And taking account of reduced transmission due to vaccination as well as the protection of people who have been vaccinated, they estimated that vaccines prevented between 102,500 and 109,500 deaths up to 20 August this year.   Article from the Nuffield Trust Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The_DADDY   3,495 #10600 Posted November 10, 2021 Are you over 65 and ONLY double jabbed? Soon you WILL be banned from public spaces. Let that sink in. When that happens, and it will it won't be left at the over 65s. Later down the line you'll need 4 jabs or you'll be banned from public places. Then 5. But i guess some of you are OK with that yeah?  https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2021/11/10/over-65s-could-banned-public-spaces-unless-have-covid-booster/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Germany has almost as large a proportion of the population fully vaccinated as we have so unless their vaccinations are somehow skewed towards the less vulnerable that "100 000 further deaths" (in the short term) looks like hyperbole.  Not, of course, that one has to have 100 000 deaths to have a health emergency. The doubling time for daily case counts and deaths in Germany is around two weeks and will build on current daily numbers per capita are only a little below the UKs so it is understandable why the Germans are worried.  [I am getting my data from the Our World in Data.] Edited November 10, 2021 by Carbuncle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Another paywalled link. Allow me:   "Sajid Javid has said he cannot rule out the possibility that over-65s who have not had a Covid booster jab could be barred from taking trains or entering restaurants at some point. Mr Javid's comments came during a Sky News interview on Wednesday when he was asked to react to the introduction of such a policy in France. The Health Secretary said the Government was not looking at the idea "yet" but declined to rule out that it would ever be adopted. A Downing Street source later said the policy was not being actively pursued but added that the uncertainty surrounding the pandemic meant few potential measures could be ruled out. "  So. Nothing to see here. Everyone calm down.  If anyone wants to know how to get a Torygraph subscription for a pound a month, message me. Worth it for the crossword and for the swivel-eyed loons who inhabit the readers comment sections. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Yup they certainly are. They've had massive increased profits for their blood thinning and heart medications too since this cocktail has been rolled out. Next in the firing line will be the 5 to 11 year olds. Be prepared for lots of kids to die suddenly of "A short illness". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
