lockdown for unvaccinated

LOL, anyway booster vaccine will be available from 29th November, you need to get your first booster, your third jab, 6 months after your last jab 2nd jab, approx.

No mad rush but don't let your immunity get too low as time goes on.

This one amused me. Obviously from a female point of view

If there was a contraceptive vaccine but after taking it you could still become pregnant and you still had to wear a condom would you still take it?

The vaccine is not 100% effective, so it's a good idea to still social distance and also wear a mask to lower your risk of breakthrough infections even though fully vaccinated, and don't forget to get booster shot when needed.

Yes, if you were a woman and taking the pill you would still insist on condom use if engaging with strangers who you have no idea of their STD status.

Thank you for that good illustration of why you need more than one method of protection CliveM.

The vaccine may not stop you getting sick in some cases but it should make you be less ill if you do get Covid.

I support Austria's stance. Anti vaccers are selfish - I think they should register and be required to sign a declaration that they accept they will not be admitted to a hospital if thy get Covid, Such people are trampling on the rights of people who are missing out on important hospital treatments because of beds occupied by Covid patients. Not practical but the ideal would be anti vacc hospitals staffed by Health people who reject getting vaccinated.
Anti mandate -boo hoo=- a load of crap . They accept other dictates in life -seatbelts, not allowed to murder.
Just a feeble selfish excuse. The calibre of many protesters is dubious -Trump flags? -totally irrelevant to their supposed cause.

the Netherlands vaccination rate is fairly similar to ours.
vaccination only does so much, you still need social measures.
trouble with relying on people to "live with the virus" is they don't see the effects so they don't do any social distancing, it gets spread around and you get hit by another wave.

hahahahaha...

"Te Pāti Māori co-leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer has placed the blame for her people's low rate of vaccination squarely on the Government, saying many Māori don't trust the "very white" approach it's taken."
