I await the day when my two shot vaccine passport only affords me outdoor dining.

That's coming. It's clear: the efficacy of the vaccines starts to reduce 3-6 months.

Another colleague of mine has got it in the UK. He was quite a big guy, but for obvious reasons he's lost quite a bit of weight in the last 18 months. He was doing a database training session from home yesterday and he said for him it's nothing more than a common cold. And I must say, he did a stirling job on the training.

Dutch weigh options to slow rising COVID-19 infections among children

Virologists in the Netherlands have proposed extending holidays over Christmas to slow a surge in COVID-19 cases among children that has forced half of schools nationwide to send classes home, but the government said it wanted to keep them open.

"'Keeping primary schools closed for longer is an effective way to keep the virus under control,' immunologist Ger Rijkers told the Algemeen Dagblad newspaper. 'Children are virus factories and infect adults as well as each other.'"

Virus factory children.

The schools haven't returned to normal school days at all. Mine do a couple of hours a day, not even half-days.

Austria's focus shifts to full lockdown as COVID-19 cases keep rising

Pressure on Austria's government to impose a full COVID-19 lockdown grew on Thursday as its worst-hit provinces said they would adopt the measure for themselves since infections are still rising despite the current lockdown for the unvaccinated.

Did everyone just have amnesia that lockdowns no longer result in plummeting cases anymore? See Australia. See New Zealand. See Singapore.
 
Everyone with a rudimentary understanding of biology know this: we cannot identify, manufacture and distribute vaccines quick enough to outpace mutations.

So bah humbug! Media keeps focusing on variants/ vaccine modality. Lifestyle factors are rarely, if ever mentioned as a modality to control this virus.

Of course it is. Madness. Three jabs won't be enough. It will be four. Five. Six...sixsixisix to be fully vaccinated.

The official WHO position is that it makes no sense to give healthy adults booster shots, when high risk groups around the world are awaiting their first dose.

The lack of data is exactly why there is hesitancy and increasing suspicion:

you were complaining about the need for boosters and then you proved the need for boosters? i'm so confused where you stand on this.

that does not mean healthy adults don't need boosters though. they're just thinking about global health policy.

Mandatory vaccine requirement for the entire populace. When I first read it today I thought stepping up to have the balls to do lockdown.

I know that, but the medical security state is likely to have unacceptable authoritarian leanings which will lead to serious civil unrest. Look how many of our technocrats and politicians have simply delighted in issuing quality of life curbing diktats.

35% of adults in Austria are not vaccinated. You reach February next year and say 10-20% are holding out. How are you going to manage that? Fine them into the poor house, jail them, force medical treatments on them, starve them to death, put them in camps?

It opens a box of ethical dilemmas that I'm pretty sure the current crop of politicians haven't thought it through, or have and have a big hard on and a warm gooey feeling inside of the control they will have.

Pro-vaccine for those that need it, but pro-choice and informed consent too.

Japan: From vaccine hesitancy to vaccine success

An unexpectedly rapid turnaround in attitudes has allowed vaccination rates to skyrocket in Japan
www.bbc.com www.bbc.com

”’People behaved really well, with mask-wearing and social distancing,’ Prof Shibuya says. ’But that is gone now.‘

The success of the vaccine rollout and the lifting of the state of emergency means people are returning to offices, and going out to pubs and restaurants again.

The sense of fear that kept people distanced for a year and a half is fading. And because of that, he thinks the very low infection rate Japan has now will not last.

’We are one to two months behind Europe‘ he says. ’Very soon, we will see another wave developing.’”
 
This is not a pandemic of the 'unvaccinated' . Far from it.

Frankly, if anyone cannot see what Austria is doing as dangerous and scary, then I really cannot help you.

no its a pandemic. the unvacinated are allowing the pandemic to continue by getting sick and not taking precautions or doing anything at all to stop the spread of germs which allows the virus to continue to mutate. THAT is the problem.

i've got no issue if you want to gamble with your life and get sick and die. but this isn't something that's internal. every time you breathe, every time you talk, ever time you sneeze, every time you cough or laugh or spit you put the germs back in the air for other people to get. other people who could get sick and die from it.

The vaccinated get sick as well and spread the virus just as easily.

Why don't those other people just get vaccinated, if they are so scared of the big bad virus?
