Once everyone (who wants to be) is vaccinated, it doesn't matter whether the vaccine is still being transmitted, surely? Or, is that unkind to anti-vaxxers? |

Its more complicated than that Or, is that unkind to anti-vaxxers? Cant see them getting vaccinated even if the vaccine does prevent infection. |

on 24/12/2020, Fred supposed :
Cant see that happening any time soon given that it isnt even clear if the current vaccines stop transmission. Transmission will not really matter, if everyone has had the vaccination in the UK. I have little sympathy with those who refuse to have it, then suffer the consequences. |

I have little sympathy with those who refuse to have it, then suffer the consequences. But some cant be vaccinated for medical reasons. And given that its so easy for some to isolate, and none of the vaccines have been used by enough to be sure that there arent some unusual bad effects with some people, it wouldn't be surprising if some play safe and not get vaccinated next year. |

Fred submitted this idea :

I would also like to take the opportunity to thank all who have contributed to my queries over the last year your advice has proved invaluable. Finally, like Adam the kitchen sink was completed at 18:00 on Christmas Eve, so Christmas dinner is saved (see Urgent pluming problem thread). Merry Christmas and hopefully a better new year Richard |
