Face masks for years...what's the point of the vaccine then?

Post by Steve30000 »

We're turning into a nanny state. If it stops serious disease and does not overwhelm the NHS, then it's job done.

That's it...no more restrictions. Looks like they're enjoying the power too much

I've no idea but they might be thinking that the mutants will be around for a long time yet.

We'll be in this situation for life if we carry on worrying about it mutating. Just slap a mask on a newborn straight away, let them grow up thinking it's normal to keep your disgusting mouth covered in public..

They will if we believe what they say.
The rate this is going you just get the feeling that this is the worst pandemic ever and the only reason we are surviving it is that we are better equipped.
Had this happened hundreds of years ago it would have destroyed us with wave after wave?

Just get an exemption badge because they are easy to get hold of.

This was only needed to keep the hospitalisations and severe cases down.

Now cases are going up, but hospitalisations,severe disease, ventilation and deaths are right down.

That tells you that vaccination is working, so where's the justification for keeping people muzzled for years?

My understanding is that even if you are immune from either having Covid or the vaccine, you can still carry the disease in your respiratory system. So the mask will do what they are doing now and that is to stop the spread.

The spread won't matter if the vast majority are vaccinated though.. it stops people being hospitalised, and that's the point of them.

We're turning into a nanny state fgs.. should we carry on wearing masks in case we catch a cold?
