Re: CV and mad panic behaviour
Reply #3963 –
So here are some observations that I can state with some confidence after watching SPF's video (this might come across a bit anti vax, but bear with me and look past that, because its apparent vaccinations are going to on balance of scales, achieve better outcomes rather than worse with one question mark which Ill arrive at towards the end).
1. Vaccinations or not, the worst of this is still ahead of us as a nation.
2. Lockdowns and restrictions to daily life are largely a necessary evil and will only be more severe and restrictive in the future.
3. Vaccinations are absolutely going to look like a worse outcome in the short term, because its clear to see that any side effects we are having are going to outweigh the infections, and hospitalisation (at least in the short term) as a result of covid, simply because of a numbers game. The only way that relationship flips, is if we let it rip.
4. Vaccination is going to protect you better than not being protected (unless it hurts you).
5. There is still a very real possibility, that once we get a fair way down this journey, the evolution of Covid could be horrendous and we are worse off.
I think its important that people do what they need to in order to protect themselves, and their loved ones. I dont think covid is going away, and this thing is here to stay with the only real question mark being how bad is this going to get (and news flash, we have only just scratched the surface of this one as a nation).
I think the coming winter in the UK is going to be the most illuminating part of this as we are roughly 2 years behind the rest of the world with this, and anyone who tells you they know how this is going to pan out, is largely talking out of their backsides.
