It should have been pulled up long ago and has not been. Anti-mask wearing, anti-vaxxers aside, the information being perpetuated is simply false and needs to be called out as such. Anyone CAN be a carrier of Covid 'vaccinated' or not.

Yes, anyone can be be a carrier but the probability of a vaccinated person being a carrier is significantly lower than a non-vaccinated person.

According to a study published in the Lancet, breakthrough infections may occur in less than 30% of the vaccinated population (all age groups, ethnicity, etc). If you’re not infected, you can’t be a carrier.

The other major finding from that study is that only 10% of vaccinated folk, if infected, will develop serious symptoms.

If you’re not vaccinated, there is a very high probability that you will become infected and pass COVID on to others, and particularly the under 12s who can’t be vaccinated yet.

We’re around 90% vaccinated in my part of the world.  We still have folk demanding the right to their freedom to refuse vaccination but they’re few and far between.  QR codes, mask discipline and vaccination certificates are the norm and I’m pretty confident that, in the unlikely event that I will come into contact with someone with COVID, my chances of avoiding infection are pretty good.



Re: CV and mad panic behaviour - Lods - 11-06-2021

I kind of see the point being made.
I think it's the talk in "absolutes" that some folk have an issue with.

"Have the vaccine you're safe as houses."
"Don't have it and you're f**ked."

It's not that straight forward
Different folk will respond in different ways and there will be some unvaccinated with nothing more than a sniffle, and some double vaccinated who will die.
The reality is even amongst the unvaccinated the symptoms will not be severe in most cases.
That's what were were told before the vaccines.
In most cases it's not severe and age and underlying conditions are a major factor.
But unvaccinated you're more likely to get a bad dose and spread it easier.

As DJC points out what the vaccine does for most people is that it reduces the impact of covid.
That's good enough for me to go with it...and there is the added incentive that my actions may prevent me from spreading it because if I catch it I will have it in a reduced form.

It's not so much misleading information.
It's more not emphasising (by omission) that the vaccine is not a cure-all it's just a rather significant barrier.



Re: CV and mad panic behaviour - Mav - 11-06-2021

I wonder whether this sort of argument ever happened in the military.
General Smith: Armour on tanks protects tank and crew from shells from opposing tanks and artillery.
General Jones: But armoured tanks are still destroyed by opposing tanks or artillery, so there's no point having armour. Why not save money and allow tanks to strip their armour to make them faster and more agile?

...and might i say as a Vikings fan.....F*** the packers and Aaron Rodgers.

Re: CV and mad panic behaviour - Mav - 11-06-2021

Wow, Aaron Rodgers is channelling Nixon who once declared "I am not a crook!" (spoiler alert, yes he was).

Aaron Rodgers has declared "not an anti-vax flat earther" (spoiler alert, it looks as though he is).

And we come full circle: he says he's taking Covid treatment advice from Joe Rogan, who also caught Covid and is an advocate of Ivermectin.

Re: CV and mad panic behaviour - Mav - 11-06-2021

Yep, got me. I'd say great minds think alike, but you, me, or both of us might be offended by that!  Tongue

Re: CV and mad panic behaviour - LP - 11-06-2021

Testing positive is not the same as being infectious, this is where the general population's understanding of catching and spreading COVID goes wrong,

You can test positive but have a very low viral load, so as such the chance you will transmit it become very low. That is primarily why some people are declared as low risk after being found positive. Your chance of catching Sars-CoV-2 depends on the amount of virus you get exposed to. It's true if you are unlucky, very unlucky, you could catch it from the one single virus but the chances are very low less than winning tattslotto.

People with vaccination are likely to have a very low viral load if positive, and as such they are much less likely to transmit.

[member=78]spf[/member]‍ This is why being vaccinated matters, and it is not disinformation or misinformation, it is the reason there is a huge difference between the risk of spread through unvaccinated versus the vaccinated positive cases.

Some studies have found vaccinated positives cases have an average viral load three orders of magnitude lower than unvaccinated cases, that is 1000x lower! But none of the studies are big enough to be definitive, although they are consistent with the expectations of the virologists.

Re: CV and mad panic behaviour - Mav - 11-06-2021

Yep, this is the problem with combatting disinformation. If you don't make the message simple enough to put on a bumper sticker, then no one will bother to listen to the message (& even if they do, the qualifications will be enough to turn them off). The misinformation and disinformation on social media is so persuasive as the messages are so strong and unqualified: Vaccines don't work! Vaccines will kill you! Ivermectin is better than vaccines!

But of course as soon as the message is crafted for the social media audience, the anti-vaxxers will take advantage of the fact the message isn't nuanced. And we have the preposterous idea that if double-vaccinated people can still catch Covid, there's no real difference between them and unvaccinated people.

It reminds me of an election campaign in which Barry Jones had the education portfolio and had produced a large blackboard on which he had a flow chart of various policy proposals and their effects. It was classic Barry Jones as he was a noted egghead (and he came to prominence as a quiz champion in Pick a Box). But of course such a complex presentation was just asking for ridicule and the Liberals were happy to oblige.   

Re: CV and mad panic behaviour - Lods - 11-06-2021

How do you craft it Mav?
We're dealing with a vast range of ideas, experiences and intellectual capacity.
But we may be selling the Australian population a bit short.
Realistically , the message is getting through, and vaccination rates are sky high.

The main message is get vaccinated for the protection of yourself and others.
Good message.

Do we not mention that you can still get covid, you can still pass it on and still maybe get very sick.
That's important to know, otherwise the other strategies like mask wearing, check ins, social distancing are compromised.
