The post from "OriginalGriff" is a perfect example!
He gives you his opinion. Should you trust it?
Well consider his name. If he really were the Original he'd not need to tell you. Most of us here have long known to be a cheap knockoff of the one and only true Griff ! It all reminds me of a medication label I once saw advertised: "Genuine Placebo".
Trust me on this.

At least I don't need silly "therefore" symbols in my name.
You can trust me. I'm not a doctor.
Unlike Balboos!

How can you be so sure? Have you tried it?
FWIW:
At least I'm a real doctor. I don't make my money by exploiting the sick and bankrupting them. Then, as I climb into my BMW convert able, whine about how my expenses are killing me.
(Is it different with NHS ?).

You do realize that you have confirmed my corrective post to your correction of my original post to the original poster's original post.

Welcome. Take a sit and enjoy while learning.
Just in case... it could be a good idea if you take a look to the Site FAQs[^]
there are a couple of things where we are really hard against it.
Beyond that... we are a nice group of people, some of us can bark, but we never bite.

Mrs and I just got back a short time ago from our second COVID vaccinations. Two different locations, two different vaccines and over two hours travel each way.
Now, possible side effects (if we already had a strong response to first shot) and two weeks induction period and, well, there's family to see alive and in person. Grandchildren to hold.
Still some cautions are in order but the draconian measures can be put aside.

Well worth the effort, I am sure. Wife got her second last Thurs, mine was 3 weeks ago. Will be able to have a full blown visit with the kids in a couple of weeks. Probably be skittish for a few more weeks.

Well, if you expected perfection in the vaccine, even if it had the five-year period to check for long-term effects and such, you'll never be satisfied.
Especially if you nit-pick the words. And, in fact, by implication, modify the intent of the statement.
The vaccine protects the vaccinated by both preventing the disease, but even more importantly, by all but eliminating the serious illness levels. For me, all along that's what I'd hoped for. An effective treatment is the most valuable commodity. Even the lesser-effective vaccines (J&J, AstraZeneca) virtually eliminate the most lethal aspects of the disease. The disease that some called a hoax, and little more than the flu . . .
Faucci, in fact, presents things very much as he should - this is a story still unfolding. Whilst lives are being snuffed out on the millions-scale, a certain amount of proactivity (as in caution) is necessary to hopefully stay ahead of the monster.
I've watched the denial of this horrid reality take the form of "they had pre-existing conditions - that's what killed them". Yeah - like a person with a kidney disease being hit by a car - they, too, had a per-existing condition. Others put the economy ahead of their (and especially, other people's) lives. And you look for inconsistencies in nuance as proof of . . . well . . . what?
Now, getting directly back to your comment (aside from your video): as of now, it's not full understood if a fully vaccinated person can shed active virus should they get the disease (remember, 95% is not 100%). So - maybe I'll get it and maybe be shedding it - but if wearing a masks and keeping my distance when amongst my fellow mortals may save them some long-term misery, or even their life, I can handle the inconvenience.
You're looking for every opportunity to discredit those willing to be cautious - a sad commentary of our times that thoughtfulness and insight are nuanced out of existence by, lets face it, politics.
The political view of a corpse is, I suspect, very much akin to "OH SH!T !".

There is plenty of politics to go around on both sides of this issue. As evidence, I cite your diatribe and posturing.

It's not quite as bad as the Soapbox used to be, but I agree - since the Soapbox was closed, some of the debates seem to have migrated here.

Come join us over at the Cube Earth society. Much agreement in that group.
Just be careful not to go over one of the edges!
