Cable Forum - Coronavirus

Because Comirnaty is the regulated product name for the covid vaccine produced by Pfizer/BioNTech and that’s what it says on the patient information leaflet you get with your jab. Comirnaty may be more prominent on the leaflet than the manufacturer name. He’s not the first person to call it by its brand name in this thread and seeing as a good number of us have had this jab the name shouldn’t be unfamiliar.

Comirnaty Bivalent indicates that it’s the new vaccine with protection against original covid and Omicron.

It's what was written on the vaccination card.

Across 31 systematically identified national seroprevalence studies in the pre-vaccination era, the median infection fatality rate of COVID-19 was estimated to be 0.035% for people aged 0-59 years people and 0.095% for those aged 0-69 years.

*The median IFR was 0.0003% at 0-19 years, 0.003% at 20-29 years, 0.011% at 30-39 years, 0.035% at 40-49 years, 0.129% at 50-59 years, and 0.501% at 60-69 years.

*At a global level, pre-vaccination IFR may have been as low as 0.03% and 0.07% for 0-59 and 0-69 year old people, respectively.

*These IFR estimates in non-elderly populations are lower than previous calculations had suggested.

Spikevax.

Moderna vaccine (Spikevax bivalent) triggers a strong immune response against both Omicron (BA.1) and the original 2020 strain. In an exploratory analysis the bivalent vaccine was also found to generate a good immune response against the Omicron sub-variants BA.4 and BA.5.

My undemanding is that Comirnaty is currently being tested for its effect on Omicron sub-variants BA.4 and BA.5.

I'm not disputing the numbers you've posted but if you could do something to reduce the chance of being one of the people to die then I think you should do it. The chances of dying my be low, but the low odds are no consolation if you're one of those people.

If you don't want to be vaccinated that's up to you but I think it's wrong to push you're agenda on other people. I do however feel people who make the choice not to be vaccinated for no reason other than they don't want to should expect to pay the cost of their care (or a good chunk of it) if they subsequently end up in hospital.

You might call it pushing an agenda, I call it warning people. After that it's their choice.
Regarding the unvaxxed paying for their own care, fine, just give me back my tax and NI that I've payed towards the nhs.

Re: Coronavirus

I had Covid at the beginning of July and gave it to my dad.

That probably saved his life, as a week later he had a perforated ulcer of the bowel and the limited amount of food in his system meant the infection he had could have been a lot worse, but 3 times I slept on my sister's sofa waiting for the call to come and say goodbye, but he's pulled though and should be home soon.

They've already paid for it.

"fast and loose"?! I'll repost the link to data that shows cov to be far less deadly than originally claimed. Please read it.
