It's not about caring for anyone else. We have 90% of the adult population vaccinated in the UK against Alpha and Delta, which make up over 75% of all Covid cases. The vaccine protection is apparently reduced with Omicron. 90% of the population are vaccinated with over 90% efficacy, they 'apparently' reduce transmission and we have more cases than ever before. Just with basic maths you can prove that the vaccines aren't as strong as advertised. This isn't me suggesting people not to take it. For my age range last I checked a couple months back 107 people had died without pre-existing medical conditions, I can tell you some of them where in things like car crashes or accidents. In the UK right now you can be vaccinated, but have Covid and enter a football stadium, but not be vaccinated, not have Covid and still have to prove it (I've actually seen this happen too).greypanther wrote: ↑Mon, 27.

I sincerely hope I am wrong.
It all reeks of misinformation by our government. The so-called experts have been wrong and I for the life of me do not see how people can't scrutinise them. 60% herd immunity required, then 80%, now everyone needs to be vaccinated, now we all need boosters because efficacy has dropped to 65-85% with Omicron (which is <25k in UK compared to 120k total).
Pfizer charging $22 per vaccine which cost less than $1 to make is just the icing on the cake, as someone who's worked in purchasing you'd be hung, drawn and quartered for buying at that mark-up. Obviously during this pandemic we've also seen the rich have gotten significantly richer while everyone else has become poorer.
