  1. This has been known for ages? Only fools think that the seriously at risk will be helped by this... just like the flu jab it only alleviates symptoms for mild to medium affected. Hence the lockdown until a vaccine is a complete nonsense.

  3.  @dylaanowen  the highest success rate of vaccines (according to WHO) is 85%-90% However, the important thing is that a vaccine works by giving a small dose of the disease and allowing the body to build immunity. The problem with this is that for those at risk of Covid that small dose will most likely kill them. Sure it may stop a large percentage of healthy people getting symptoms, but those people would most likely have no problem fighting it off already lots without ever getting ill. Recovery rate without a vaccine is already 90% plus even in worse stats. So for Covid-19 a vaccine simply doesn't stack up.

  4. Yep to mild and medium symptoms perhaps but most likely won't actually stop people dying.
