This is just one example, perhaps you'd be kind enough to explain how my understanding is flawed.

The conclusion you made is not supported by that article.

If you wear a mask and observe social distancing, you are unlikely to become infected or infect others.
If you get vaccinated, you are unlikely to become infected or infect others.
If you become infected and recover, you are unlikely to become infected again or infect others.

Just as with the flu or any other vaccine, it may not be effective for all and some may experience a reaction.

Vaccination is not a magic bullet. It will not protect everyone, but it will be effective for the majority of recipients. Much safer than doing nothing.

I'm still left wondering how my understanding is flawed.

Please help me with this.
Does the vaccine currently used in the UK prevent someone catching the virus?
Does it prevent someone passing on the virus?

As I've said, I'm a simple soul so a yes, or no, will do.

Basically it looks like in Spain they will record people who refuse vaccination.

It is known to lessen the effect of the disease.

Whether or not it stops or inhibits infection being passed on is not yet known as far as I am aware.

Very normal information gathering practice in order to gain data for further advertising campaigns to be more effective.

You are right Rosemary but just as the modelo 720 is just a device to protect against money laundering it is easily useable to keep tabs on what you do with your foreign assets. I have no doubt that if there are problems ahead with vaccine efficiency the government will use information they have to carry through any policy they might feel necessary to protect its citizens

Normal .......... ?
No they will know exactly how many have taken up the offer so no need to have an ID parade (I exaggerate a tad)

They will not only wish to know the number that have taken it up but also the reasons for not taking it up so that they can address those reasons. The reasons for people not having the vaccine will be varied but if for example a large number site a certain concern this can be evaluated and acted upon. It is standard practice with many, many aspect of life not only medical.

Were any of the above vaccines created from scratch and administered to humans within a 9 month timeframe?

Unsurprisingly we've managed to improve few things a bit in the centuries since Jenner and Pasteur.

Here is an article explaining how these vaccines were brought to use so quickly


The speed at which effective Covid-19 vaccines have come through to authorisation has caused surprise. Compared with previous vaccines, the process has been very fast and so, naturally, people are asking how can it have happened without some kind of compromise on standards and care. Explaining it all as simply a result of the wonders of the latest scientific advances seems vague. So how has it actually come about? In reality, there are at least 10 reasons: some are about good planning, some good science and some just good luck.

So why NO truly effective HIV/Aids Vaccine?

If by 'truly' you mean 'completely' - no vaccine is completely effective.

OK Lest make it simple for you.........Why then is there no HIV/Aids Vaccine seeing as you say " Unsurprisingly we've managed to improve few things a bit in the centuries since Jenner and Pasteur."

Here's something that might help with that


It has been difficult to develop a vaccine against HIV for several reasons. Whereas most other vaccines work by teaching the adaptive part of the immune system to produce antibodies that clear an infection, antibodies are unable to clear HIV infection. This is because HIV mutates very rapidly, evading antibodies.

Has some much money, so many scientists worldwide ever focused on a vaccine like this before ? No. I do wish people would look for and at facts rather than believe their mates or some idiot on social media. My wife is 62, left retirement and went back into Nursing in March, our daughter is a charge Nurse and both had had their first jabs. Are they worried? NO. Why? because they looked at the facts/science.

Go work a 12 hour shift on a hot ward and see how you feel about taking the vaccine after. Better still, don't wear a mask and tell us how you feel two weeks later.
