Lavanda please pay attention to up to date accurate infornation. The vaccines were not initially tested to see if they stopped transmission and hence no claims were made that they stopped transmission. Initial vaccine aim was to stop people getting seriously ill and this is what was tested first.Lavanda wrote: ↑Sun Jun 20, 2021 2:04 pm "Why has the Delta variant taken hold in the UK when so many people have had their first shot."
Paddy, pay attention, please. The vaccine doesn't work in the way in which vaccines usually work. This one will not stop you getting it or passing it on. Beachcomber believes it is some deadly mix of unknown substances. I am beginning to think it's just water. Might as well be for all the good it's doing. The vulnerable have gone. The rest of the people use their immune system to fight the virus. That's it.
However data now shows that the vaccines do stop people catching the virus and also stop people passing on the virus.

However if you still believe it is just water then please explain why in Israel the 14 day incidence rate is less than 1 per 100k. Also explain why a country with a population of 9 million hasn't had a single Covid death in the last 7 days. If the vulnerable have gone then how come that fall off in deaths is happening at the same time as the vaccination. Also how come in Spain the 40 to 49 year olds are now the majority of the Covid deaths?
