Let the herd enjoy their moments ... hopefully soon ... enough of them will have the shot ... and we can move on ... I can see the mask wearing trend is wearing off again and people are only wearing them were being forced to ... like entering a supermarket ... bussines is picking up ...more people are returning to work as production increases.

The only problem is mask and muttie sales will drop ... the herd will scatter and start to mingle and spread the word.

The problem is that our social media addicts are no longer just the receivers of Propaganda (whatever form it may take) but also the re-transmitters (knowingly and unknowingly) FB posts advertising "on behalf of" 90% of its base without their base even being aware of it.

This is really interesting....lots we don't know about going on behind the scenes

It is reported that Pfizer and Moderna vaccines appear to be highly effective against the more transmissible variant of the virus first detected in Britain, but show a decreased ability to neutralize the strain now dominant in South Africa. Hope SA can survive this epidemic!

As requested before
So where did you find this report?
Doing a Google search, a number of news articles conflict whether the vaccines are effective or not.
The way that many news reporters have acted recently, I would prefer to be directed to medical studies stating the facts.

Unfortunately there are still many uninformed genuine internet users, who then become aware when this type of post is highlighted, and to then start questioning in the future. The more people questioning, the less fake news will be posted.
Same story as throwing the star fish back in the water. It starts with ONE.

Fair enough - you are right of course.

The Covid 19 is similar to the flu virus, for which there still is no cure. Therefore we can expect to have the virus around for a very long time. Prepare yourself to get your jabs with your flu vaccine on an annual basis. I have adopted a wait and see attitude as there are so many conflicting reports and speculation. Lets see what works and what not.

My wife has had the 1st Astra Zeneca jab a week or two ago in the UK - she should get the next one this week or next week. She seems to be fine. Her brother and his partner already had the two Astra Zenica jabs and they are fine too. His partner actually had Covid and recovered before the jabs. This is very serious stuff - My wife sends me pics from the UK all the time and the entire place is locked down and downright desolate.

My wife is getting the vaccine jab in the UK today. She is a live-in carer looking after the elderly so she is on the priority list. I think she has to go for the 2nd jab in 3 weeks time.
