A few days ago a couple of friends who have been vaccinated with the Oxford Astrazeneca vaccine have both tested positive for Covid 19.
One has Cold like symptoms , the other more of a chest infection. They will probably be ok.
It looks like Oxford Astrazeneca is around 63% effective, So Pfizer vaccine seems the better option.
Still it hammers home the point the vaccines are not cures but an attempt to reduce the severity of the infection. The numbers of infected people are going up and I think the UK is trying again for herd immunity by letting it infect widely in the summer amongst mostly young healthy people so less die in the winter. Some might say its more reopen the economy and sod the consequences.
Seems if you don't want to become infected you need to mitigate the risk and that's still handwashing , social distancing and masks in enclosed spaces. It does seem we are better off to be in the fresh air, rather than indoors, the contracting of covid 19 appears to be negligible outside.
As a strategy keep on doing what we have been doing seems to be best and lets see how the UKs science experiment goes down.
