That chart is mainly based on research done in USA. In the UK they found a better immune response when they where spread out further.

Also the waning effect of immunity is delayed longer. It is suspected the increased number of cases in Israel is due to the short interval they had between doses. At one of the many reasons.

Thanks @Adephi !
Good to know

Appreciate that
 
The immunization campaign is limping. The misinformation army is unfortunately way too active on social media. Many people are not going for their second shots because of the rumours of serious side effects... We are not winning the war.

Maybe we should be celebrating not commiserating, as a large percentage of these 'Sheople' will make themselves famous as Darwin Award candidates, raising the collective IQ a few points in the process :rolleyes:

That would be great, if they weren't going to be the source of variants.
 
Lockdown now due to be ‘reviewed’ by 3 October – after govt just missed Ramaphosa’s deadline

27 Oct. 2021
  • When South Africa moved to Level 2 lockdown, President Cyril Ramaphosa promised that would be reviewed within two weeks.
  • That deadline – made official in regulations – expired on Sunday. It was not met.
  • Instead, minister Minister Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma published a last-second amendment pushing the date out by another week, to 3 October.
  • There appears to be no reason she can't do the same thing again, when that date arrives.

and then there was a huge march in Durban CBD this morning with about a BILLION people all with no masks and absolutely no social distancing shouting and screaming and complaining about the F knows what now and people wonder why this virus is not going anywhere!
 
I have words for this but this is a nice place and I’ll be banned if I say what I really think regarding this.

Let the galaxy burn. All these protests that are led by people who are trying to (ironically) further their own agendas will seed the 5th wave.

The real irony with these political parties and groups insisting on big crowd campaigning, you can't vote if you are in ICU.

On the same note is the irony of some one thinking BIG PHARMA is out to get them, then begging for hospital staff to save them with the same technology while they hang on to their life. "Medicine is trying to kill me until I'm actually dying then please give me the same medicine".

Or people not trusting vaccines then eating horse paste made by the exact same BIG PHARMA.

Same story with protesting at hospitals, vaccine is trying to kill us so lets mess it up for people who need the facilities to survive.

Clown show.

Absolutely. People think the testing and preventative measures are a money making scheme. Wait till you see a hospital bill of someone spending in ICU for a few days. That's where the real money lies.

You have that right, I am seeing gap cover bills in the tens of thousands never mind the real bill.
 
I either had bad flu or covid last week. Things do not add up though, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday I was at home, Thursday I had a farewell and boom Friday I was sick. If it was covid, I have had worse flu than this, namely Oppi Koppi Flu.\

I did get vaccinated.

It sounds like it. The symptoms are usually worst towards day 5-6…. Did you not get tested?
