4Th Covid Jab?
45 Answers
several 1st world countries (including Israel and UK) either planning or considering a 4th jab roll out...

.....apparently because the 3rd jab's effectiveness wears off after a few weeks.
should this be the first world's priority? or would it be better for them to concentrate on jabbing the 3rd world - from where potentially scary mutant variants are more likely to arise?

There might well be good reasons for diverting vaccines to third world countries, rather than using them here, but I fail to see the logic in "from where potentially scary mutant variants are more likely to arise".
The alpha variant was first detected in the UK, beta was initially spotted in South Africa, gamma was first found in Brazil, delta in India and, although the first instance of delta is recorded by the WHO as 'multiple countries', it's primarily associated with South Africa. So there's a good mix of 'developed' and 'less developed' countries there.
I see no reason why the next 'variant of concern' is more likely to originate from Uganda than it is from the United Kingdom, or why it's more likely to come from Afghanistan than it is from Austria.

“ Why didn't they give a full jab as opposed to a booster”
A booster is a full jab.
I think the point about the vaccinations going abroad is that there’ potential potentially in unvaccinated places for newer variants however it needs proper organisation and people need to actually come forward to have them

//In November the double jabbed accounted for 50.7% of admissions into ICU.//
Thanks royfromaus. Do you have any more uptodate figures as the affect of boosters as surely changed the picture alot. ? Claims from NHS spokespersons suggest much higher proportion is now are unvaxxed now but maybe some will say there misinformed or deliberately twisting things from whatever there agenda is
Anyways, from your figures that means that from the 20% of the population who have had no jab (or only 1) accounted for half of admissions in November. Wow. Just shows the importance of getting vaccine's don't it. I doubt many in the icu beds have had the booster aswell...or do you have figures too?

I don't because December figures won't be out yet.

I'm fully aware the figures won't show the full picture but I'm sick to death of blatant lies from the likes of Dr Hilary and co.
Just tell us the truth without the number manipulation or omitting facts such as the age and health condition of those who have died of the new variant.
