Whats the point of getting vaccinated against covid then? Why not just let your immune system deal with it? Thats what our natural immune system is meant to do. Attack foreign material
So you'd be happy to get infected and test the theory?
I think most of us would prefer a stimulated immune response.
It amazes me that at 4.3 MILLION deaths already we're still debating whether protection is a good idea. Not to mention the many millions more with long COVID and who my never live a normal life again.
Ive had 20 of my relatives overseas contract covid and ALL 20 have recovered. Including 1 aunty who is a 75 year old diabetic and another aunty whi had no symptoms at all.
COVID is definitely real but it mass vaccinations are not the answer. Most of the hospitalisations in UK and Israel are from people who have already been vaccinated.
Im not here to change anyone's mind. But coercion to get vaccinated is absolutely criminal. Especially considering numerous doctors on the frontline were having fantastic results using Ivermectin (a drug which the clinical evidence shows is not statistically effective). But do a google search on the drug and
Any statistic to support the most people in hospital are vaccinated statement?
No. They are getting confused that in highly-vaccinated countries, total numbers of hospital admission of vaccinated and non-vaccinated can sometimes similar. People have been harping on about it for a few weeks. So for example in a week they might have 100 vaccinated people in hospital and 75 unvaccinated people in hospital.
What they fail to understand is if you have, say, 50 million people vaccinated and 12.5 million unvaccinated (80%), then the vaccinated population is way bigger, and just by sheer numbers they may potentially match unvaccinated hospitalistion numbers at times. That's not to say the rates are the same of course.
In other words, say Astra Zeneca is 80% effective at preventing hospitalisation (compared to normal) and the standard hospitalisation rate for unvaccinated COVID is 10%. In my example, if all of the 12.5 million were infected with COVID, 10% of them would end up in hospital = 1.25 million hospitalised. If all the 50 million vaccinated were also infected with COVID (not possible, but for argument's sake lets say they are), they would have an 80% reduction in standard hospitalisation, i.e. be hospitalised at a rate of 2% = 1 million hospitalised.
Now those that aren't good at maths would equate 1.25 million and 1 million and say that vaccines don't work. They fail to realise the basic concept that the vaccines have actually prevented the 50 million cohort from experiencing a standard 10% hospitalisation rate, so reduced the hospitalisation from 5 million to 1 million = they have kept 4 million people out of hospital.
But of course not everyone gets COVID at once and we are talking about much smaller numbers per week.
This article from the Royal College of GPs addresses it pretty well:
https://www1.racgp.org.au/newsgp/clinical/why-are-fully-vaccinated-people-increasingly-being
And this does not at all account for people who got sick with COVID during or just after their vaccination, when peak immunity had not yet developed in their body.
