[QUOTE="Nik, post: 264753, member: 1"] I'm not following the insinuations here. It's pretty indisputable that millions have been saved from death or debilitating long term health issues worldwide by the vaccines. It's also indisputable that as with the majority of vaccines, efficacy wanes after a certain time. That appears to be around 6 months after your second shot or thereabouts from what I'm hearing. The new strain is orders of magnitude more transmissible, less severe by many accounts but given the transmissibility factor and the fact that it will likely infect the majority of double dosed folks (as they are at a reduced rate of protection due to a slow rollout of boosters and time) it may may put more in hospital. What does this mean? Get your booster. Don't spread it unnecessarily. Carry on. Also hospitalizations always lag 3-4 weeks behind infections, people seem to forget this all the time when hunting for stats. I'm hopeful that hospitalizations remain low for this variant. Maybe the next one will be even less severe and it can truly become another flu like strain. [/QUOTE]
