We all just have to be patient really. You are going to see a lot of stories over the coming weeks regarding the vaccine (some good; some bad), but hopefully we will see the real impact of the vaccination by mid Feb.

Can someone confirm if I am right here: the vaccine only stops the real negative effects (death, serious illness) etc but it will not stop you catching it.
So once the population are vaccinated then Covid-19 becomes basically another flu which everyone basically learns to live with?
Can’t keep up with all the positive / negative stories as they seem to interchange on a daily basis.

Nobody really knows.
Most people predict once we hit high levels of immunity the virus will stop circulating anyway.

Waiting on results. Pfizer indications in Israel is that it prevents vaccinated individuals transmitting the virus. Early days on that score.

But the vaccine should in theory help us reach high levels of immunity quicker? On the assumption it is effective obviously.

That is my understanding but we’ll need to Vaccinate the world population not just ukCan someone confirm if I am right here: the vaccine only stops the real negative effects (death, serious illness) etc but it will not stop you catching it.

Oh definitely agree with that, just wanted to know if the understanding was correct in theory. Obviously in practice it is going to take quite some time.
Proper positive numbers from yesterday.. that rate . So that will smash is through 1.5 million this week if it continues

I think about it like this.... you come in contact with some virus. Some vaccine fights and kills them. The vaccine might win outright, meaning you never develop the illness. Or the virus might win by passing a tipping point and you become ill. But the vaccine has done a good enough job of killing enough virus that it reduces how ill you become.Can someone confirm if I am right here: the vaccine only stops the real negative effects (death, serious illness) etc but it will not stop you catching it.
