Dorothy you have posed some interesting questions there.

1) not only are they not sure about the vaccination preventing transmission, they really cannot guarantee that it will stop you from getting it...but tell us that those who are vaccinated ‘get less sick’...so not much comfort there.
I think it will give a false sense of security and this is being fostered by the media hype to get people to have the jab...music to the ears of big Pharma.

2) Emergency approval of this vaccines really means that those who take the jab are used as unpaid guinea pigs for the Pharma companies...and not only that, if unexpected or unwanted side effects arise then the Pharma companies(who by the way are as rich as Croesus) have NO liability whatsoever.
And before anyone tells me that there is a government fund for vaccine damaged
individuals...yes, I DO know this.
I also know that is nigh impossible to squeeze this fund for any money. And that anyone who is not successful is usually left with a ginormous legal bill.

3) yes I concur with this...and even when drugs have gone through what we are told is rigorous testing, the big Pharma companies are only judged on their three best studies....any adverse events are usually buried...they do not have to publish results of ALL studies.

4) no information on the length of the immunity conferred is available....that is because they do not know....or if they do it has not been published because it is not in their(Pharma companies) interest.
If it is going to be needed every six months then we are in the brown smelly stuff.
A million first doses have been administered and the second doses have been deferred so that more first doses can be given....now how do we know if this delay will mean that the jab is less effective....seeing as the developers recommendations were for two doses, 21 days apart.
If this is what the drug company have worked on....and not a three month delay for a second dose...then this is a further worry(or it is for those who are worried about the vaccine anyway).

I had sort of retired from this thread....I felt that I had said all that I wanted to say...sometimes many times over.
I have only returned to put my own two pennorth to your post Dorothy.....and will now retreat into the shadows to watch and wait.
Like you, I am a thinking realist who wishes to take responsibility for my own actions, but I will not act to make the government of the day look good I will only act if what they propose is in my interests.
I do not expect anyone out there to be either influenced or to Change their views.
Everyone must make up their own minds using the information that is available...and read between the lines a bit too...because I do not feel that we are being fed the truth.

When things do not add up it is because truth had not been added to the equation.
