    What are the odds of catching Covid? New research shows why vaccination is so important - Aliss Higham (Daily Express)

    A new study by researchers at Imperial College London found that those with both rounds of a coronavirus vaccine are half as likely to be infected with the virus than those who have not been vaccinated.
    The results of the research come as case numbers continue to drop across much of the UK despite the prevalence of the Delta variant.

    Young people are still receiving vaccinations across the UK, with the go-ahead now given to vaccinate 16 and 17-year-olds.

    Unvaccinated young people are currently driving infection numbers in the UK, a trend that is also mirrored in the USA, which is struggling to combat the highly infectious Delta variant.

    "Today's report shows the importance of taking personal responsibility by self-isolating if you are contact traced, getting tested if you have symptoms and wearing face coverings where appropriate.
    "I urge anyone who has yet to receive a vaccine to get jabbed and take up both doses - the vaccines are safe and they are working."

    I will take the vaccine, even if only to avoid being segregated via the "Pass Santé" when I go back back to France.

    Do you mean to say that's the only incentive that convinced you to get vaccinated?

    Austin, Texas, activates emergency alert system as COVID crisis reaches "critical" point

    Austin, Texas, issued an emergency alert this weekend over the "severely worsening COVID-19 situation," which has reached a "critical" point, officials said.

    Why it matters: The Warn Central Texas alert system was designed to be activated during a disaster. "Our hospitals are severely stressed and there is little we can do to alleviate their burden with the surging cases," Austin-Travis County Health Authority's Desmar Walkes said in a statement.

    The public has to act now and help our we will face a catastrophe in our community that could have been avoided."

    Hospital bed availability and critical care is extremely limited in our hospital systems, not just for COVID-19 patients, but for anyone who may need treatment," "The community has to come together again and stave off disaster

    Mask mandates are coming back to Portland this Friday. Shit. I don't blame the government for imposing them, I blame the anti-vaxxer douchebags for spreading a new pandemic. Just as we're getting it under control they let it break out again, stronger than before.

    Oops! Too late I 'm already fully vaccinated, I guess i'll just have to put my faith in Jesus during the next pandemic.

    Pastor Joshua Feuerstein Says 'You Don't Need the Vaccine, You Got Jesus' as Delta Surges


    Far-right evangelical Pastor Joshua Feuerstein told "cowering" fellow church leaders and Christians across America that they don't need to receive the COVID-19 vaccine
    because they are already protected by their faith in Jesus Christ.

    The US with 4.25% of the global population and the world's best supply of vaccine now has 17% of the worlds daily new COVID cases. In number of cases per day we are in a different level and trajectory than every other country in the world. Again.
    THANK YOU REPUBLICAN PARTY!

    Well, it's not just Murica unfortunately.

    Unfortunately there are selfish delusional paranoid antivax fucktards all over the world.

    Was watching "freeDUMB" marchers riot in France a few weeks back. Jesus Christ, they didn't make that much fuss when they were invaded by Nazis!

    - "But oh no, don't make me wear a mask or get a little prick in my arm that could save someone's life".

    Fuck all these anti-science, anti-facts, anti-rational thought God damned deadly misinformation spewing morons!

    ...
    The human race is so absolutely fucked.

    The CDC doesn't breakdown the numbers by religious persuasion, but one pastor recently lost six from his congregation.

    We may not have the exact number but Delta is ravaging the red states where Jesus holds sway. So the answer to how many Christians have gotten sick and died is, a helluva lot. And for a pastor to say Jesus will protect you from the virus is beyond naive, it's evil.

    Yes you can pass it on to a fully vaxxed person but they have to be exposed to it for some time . My wife caught the Delta whilst being coughed and sneezed on all day at work . Incidently they wear 3 ply masks ,which is why I believe they are useless . I held out for 7 days but eventually caught Delta from my wife . once its in your household its very difficult not to catch it . We are both double vaxxed . Delta is a paticularly nasty variant and anyone who is not vaccinated will struggle with this ,hence the death rate is quite high
