Israel:
The data, which was based on a study of 1,200,000 people – 600,000 who received the vaccine and 600,000 who did not – showed 94% fewer symptomatic coronavirus cases and 92% fewer cases of serious illness among those who were vaccinated.

we need the vaccines to reduce deaths. you had 10 months between infections which is actually quite good! may need 1 or 2 jabs a year

No, you are right, every one should be vaccinated, I’m just sharing my personal experience.

Mainly a cough, high temperature and an extraordinary need to sleep, a little bit like how you feel after reading one of JBZ’s posts.

No sore throats then?
Cheers Sgt 😀

I think this seems reasonable.. Can't believe what I'm saying

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-56068362

cautious but irreversible easing of lockdown. I mean, we are vacciniating the nation, if that doesn't work because of variants or whatever then what else is left.

vaccines obviously can be changed in the same way as flu. so we are going to have to live with.

Isn't that down to it being more effective with a delay between doses? In the next month I would imagine our % will be around 25% mark.

We share our time between Tenerife and London, and I tested positive for Covid last March at our villa and tested positive again last month at our home in London, I had mild symptoms both times, whether this was down to different strains who knows, but I have since found quite a few reports of international travellers getting Covid twice, and personally I would not be relying on the vaccine in its current form to provide long term protection. 
blimey,  that was an early test last March, did you have to pay for it?

Nobody really knows - none of the trials had varying delays in the second dose, so all we do know is what they tested at that time.  Using other vaccines, you often see long delays between the "Booster" jab, so the UK approach is probably OK.  Also, the UK has taken a calculated gamble here, to get the first does in to as many people as possible as quickly as possible, given it offer 60% plus efficacy.  The booster only adding another 20-30% on top means you actually get better "herd" coverage with the single dose strategy and it seems unlikely that the delay on the second dose will actually harm the increased efficacy.

Isreal is going to be the bell weather, given their deal with Pfizer to be the Canary in the mine.  Even off of the first dose I think they started reporting data that showed an impact.

^^^^

this.

they are confident 1 dose should be enough to prevent death (SA variant may change this? not seen the definitive data proving that's not true)

they know a longer gap on other vaccines doesn't decrease effectiveness, sometimes increases, and the is no reason to think think it won't be the same .

if they have got it right, is a fairly good call isn't it?

I can't see anything else. they surely don't have capacity to double up second dose and new first dose
