Default Re: Risky business?

For people below 40 with no underlying conditions the risk is miniscule, even for older people without underlying conditions the risk is pretty low. Age is important, but it is the underlying chronic health conditions ( co-morbidities ) that really tilt the risk. The figures are that the average age of a covid fatality is 82 ( about the same as average lifespan in UK ) with 2 or more underlying conditions ( like heart disease, diabetes OBESITY ). The WHO did warn that UK would suffer more than average deaths from virus because the NHS was good a keeping people with multiple chronic conditions alive. Men are almost twice as likely as women to succumb to covid. The testing and rollout of these vaccines has been compressed, how much has been left out we can only guess, but obviously no long term testing of any after affects the newer mRNA vaccines, which have been around for about 30 years and never licenced for use on humans, which somewhat dents you confidence whether the licencing now was a medical decision - or more likely a political one..

There is conjecture as to whether some patient will show up for the second dose anyway if they have bad effects from the first jab, as it seems the reaction to second jab can be worse than the to the first.
