![]() ![]() Professor Roger Kirby, president of the Royal Society of Medicine, said the public would not. Vaccine passports might have to be issued, businesses, and schools must be reopened, and booster vaccines will be as routine as the flu shots every year. Ministers risk sparking riots if they try to impose another lockdown, according to a leading doctor. Those who choose to remain unvaccinated should be reminded of the politically incorrect phrase “Survival of the fittest.” If the unvaccinated die, it’s their fault. It would be absolutely insane to have another lockdown ![]() We all need to work together to keep our country prosperous. Another lockdown would probably destroy many small businesses. Get your vaccine, it is showing proof that it is slowing down this dreadful illness, try to comply. Everyone needs to do their part in controlling COVID and the Delta variant. Just the word “lockdown” is very upsetting. People have died worldwide due to the virus and now we have so much vaccine misinformation that we have lost credibility. The past lockdown cost,jobs, mental issues, social issues.Įlites didn’t follow the same rules so why bother. So only time will tell how successful the fall booster plan will be.If there will be more lockdowns they should be localized by virus outbreaks. The Plan B measures, which were narrowly passed in a vote in parliament last night, are designed to prevent another lockdown but hospitality businesses are reporting that the number of people cancelling bookings has already rocketed. "Now we know the mRNA vaccine manufacturers are working to make a booster that contains BA.4 and BA.5, but by the time those vaccines are ready for distribution we may have a new circulating subvariant. In fact, in South Africa where they have high levels of immunity from vaccination and omicron infection, the BA.5 wave which has ended there was associated with less hospitalization and death than any prior waves." "But we also know they continue to prevent severe disease, hospitalization and death, and there's no evidence that that fact changes with BA.5. "Well, BA.5 is omicron, and we know the vaccinations don't do a super great job of preventing infection caused by omicron," Doron said. "There are stories of people getting infected in just a month or so after prior infection, but that is definitly not the norm." Will vaccine boosters work against BA.5? It usually protects pretty well from infection for a while, but not always." It protects you really well from severe disease. "Hybrid immunity, though - immunity from a combination of vaccination and infection - is pretty powerful. "When a variant is immuno-based, it's going to have an easier time infecting you if you've already been infected," Doron said. It could be it's just evading immunity better, just like flu strains replace each other every year." If you had omicron already, can you still get BA.5? ![]() "It's becoming dominant because it has a growth advantage over the other variants. There's even a rumor that BA.5 is as contagious as measles. "We continue to see new variants and subvariants become dominant, and there's a misconception that that means each and every one is more contagious than the last. Is BA.5 the most transmissable variant yet? Get Boston local news, weather forecasts, lifestyle and entertainment stories to your inbox. ![]()
