Can't realistically require a vaccination passport until people have had the option of a vaccine. Not if the airlines want to be able to survive that is.

.. If there is no reduction in transmission then the whole vaccine passport idea is pointless. ..
(and if anyone declining the vaccine subsequently catches it and goes down big time, then that's their problem.)Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

Originally posted by Lance View PostGiven that vaccines work by training antibodies to seek and destroy, giving the effect that the virus enters the patient and is killed off fairly quickly, it is almost guaranteed that transmission will be reduced by vaccinations.
If they (vaccines) stop you getting ill by killing the virus cells, then there are less virus cells to infect other people. Simples.
The fact that the epidemiological data doesn't exist yet is a different matter. And it will soon as you say.
I linked (somewhere on here today) to an article about whether covid vaccines will stop transmission, explaining the types of immunisation vaccines provide and it needs to be the type effective in the mouth and nose to stop transmission. If only effective internally then they may reduce severity of an infection but not stop it being transmissable.
So the problem is that despite the historical knowledge of vaccines and how they work the current new ones for covid are using a new approach so are untested in real life so it's premature to assume a certain behaviour.
We'll know for sure 'soon'.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

Vaccines are a mix. Some are similar to existing ones, others are a new approach... I can't remember which are which?Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
