Every time you breathe in you are risking other people’s lives, by breathing in airborne covid particles, getting infected and then passing the disease onto others. Stop it now you covidiots! Be responsible and hold your breath until the vaccine comes...
The vaccines are not even offering to address any of the concerns that people have, such as:
hospitalisation
death
durability of immunity (concerns have been raised by some about the durability of naturally-acquired immunity)
being infectious while asymptomatic
Long COVID, MIS-C or other complications
or even testing positive in a PCR test
As the author of this review of four of the leading vaccines https://www.forbes.com/sites/williamhaseltine/2020/09/23/covid-19-vaccine-protocols-reveal-that-trials-are-designed-to-succeed/#4a43de1c5247 says, "These vaccine trials are testing to prevent common cold symptoms".
That tit Vallance is now saying we can't expect a vaccine to get rid of the disease, and we will have to learn to live with it.
Well, no shit, Sherlock - isn't that what we've been saying for months?

From Trustnet's newseletter of a couple of days ago ( https://www.trustnet.com/news/5053139/argonauts-norris-why-im-shorting-silver-bullet-vaccine-companies ) A fund manger, Barry Norris, sums it up perfectly perhaps because, unlike my epidemiological friends, he's betting his own, and his clients' money:
“One of the most dangerous ideas is that we can lock down the economy and behave in an exceptional risk averse way because there is a silver bullet vaccine,” he said.
“There’s a lot of misinformation and misconceptions about Covid and this is now the biggest one of those.”
He explained that investors and analysts who talk about different stocks plays dependent on the emergence of vaccine aren’t taking into the account the nature of the solution.
“The question is, will the vaccine stop you being infected, or will it just lessen the symptoms?” he asked.
“Given that over 90 per cent of infections are asymptomatic already, if the vaccine doesn’t stop you getting the infection but just stops symptoms, how will that stop the spread of the disease?”
Norris explained that because trials are only taking place in healthy adults, the people that are most at risk are left out of trials as they’re less likely to generate an immune response.
“My contention is if its 50/50 in the healthy adult population, with lower efficacy in people at risk from Covid, then why is it being styled as this silver bullet to cure Covid? It doesn’t make sense,” he said.
“The only way it could make sense if it’s some sort of psychological placebo to get governments out of the deep lockdown holes of their own making.”
With this in mind, Norris has taken short positions on several companies in the sector who he feels are trading at overinflated values.
“The only way it could make sense if it’s some sort of psychological placebo to get governments out of the deep lockdown holes of their own making.”
Indeed, these would appear to be not the only holes that they have buried their heads in.
