Mate, regarding "Second - and this goes to all of you - vax-concerned, vax-obsessed and anti-vax people, should be also a good self-test for everyone keeping strong opinions on any particular topic. Ask yourself - can data change my mind?"
Good question, but you just sent me links to three papers, none of which were peer-reviewed. I don't want to be a snob about this, but, you know, the one in the Lancet was peer reviewed (I assume anyway) and found that "that vaccination is not sufficient to prevent transmission of the delta variant in household settings with prolonged exposures. (fully vaccinated individuals with breakthrough infections have peak viral load similar to unvaccinated cases and can efficiently transmit infection in household settings, including to fully vaccinated contacts)".
You could swap 'household' for 'workplace' in many cases (shared office/workshop/toilets and so on.
One other quick question: should, in your opinion, the vaccine be mandatory for work for those who have already had Covid?
Regarding the second question, you are right, we haven't has anything like this before, but
1) We have had it for two years, one year of which we did not have a vaccine.
2) Pro football continued all that year (just without fans), so the players stayed fit. Moreover, many tested positive during this time.
3) I believe that they are collapsing post vaccine - so not during the first year of the pandemic without the vaccine - but in the second half of the year post vaccine. I certainly don't remember anyone keeling over on the pitch pre vaccine (but post Covid outbreak). If they were, I would be grateful if someone could find the evidence. Like I said (and in answer to your question): that would change my mind. |
