What a great post. I wish I could rep it a thousand times.
I can remember my younger son (medic) coming home for the holidays at Easter 2020.
He said that younger people could get it and the symptoms were so mild they may not even know they had it. Immediately, I thought uh-oh... so they could be going out and about and unwittingly spreading the virus.
Therefore, if you are young, it would make sense to get this (overwhelmingly harmless) vaccine, not only for your own sake but for the sake of the shelf stacker in the supermarket, or the taxi driver, or the university tutor you may unwittingly infect in the future if you don't.

So can you be specific about which data you are disputing? Could you also educate us on the long term side effects studies of which will be extensive on these ‘vaccines’. Many Thanks. Ps please could you also enlighten us on the efficacy of Ivermectin as a prophylactic and treatment.

How can the bear "educate you" on the long term side effects of a recently developed vaccine? On the other hand, we have heard of the devastating effects of "long covid".
The vast, vast majority of symptoms from the AZ vaccine only last a couple of days.
The contraceptive pill causes more blood clots than Covid, and there is no massive scare story about that.

Long term studies are ongoing, I think some vaccine producers are doing yearly checkups kind of thing, and there will also be independent ones before anyone says anything stupid like them faking good results or covering up bad ones.
Flying also can cause blood clots but that doesn't stop anyone wanting to jet off on holiday. If you need to travel by plane to go on holiday, despite the risks, how is that different to needing to get a vaccine to travel, despite the risks? (minimal risks in both cases)

Getting a vaccine does not stop you from spreading a virus. If you are young and healthy covid, like the flu, will not make you seriously ill. There is absolutely no reason why any establishment or airline should impose restrictions on entry based on whether you've received a vaccine or not. It should be about whether you actually test negative for covid.

Also I think the death rate from flu is actually higher among young adults than the middle aged
I can kind of see your point about airlines, a negative test is important, but there are false negatives and aeroplanes use recirculated air (I think?) so the transmission risk in a plane is really high, so you want to be as sure as possible that people flying don't have covid. If they go off just negative tests, then you should have to have at least 2 before departure. In the hospital where I work patients need 6 negative tests before we conclusovely say "they don't have covid." I think the privately available ones, such as for a flight, are about £150 each. I'd rather get a £10 vaccine (AZ cost for the UK to buy, retail cost may be higher if we have to pay eventually). However I think countries themselves would be well within their rights to not let unvaccinated people into the country, as they can catch and spread the virus.
Does anyone know if you are less contagious if you've had the vaccine? I would theorise that since your antibodies fight it off, it remains in your body for less time so there is a shorter window where you are contagious. I don't know this though

If you are young and healthy covid MAY not make you seriously ill, at least not at the time, it may only leave you with serious long term conditions

The same people who are refusing it are probably the ones who break regulation and spread the virus

I’m a young adult and at uni and I had the virus with no symptoms so I could have spread it around. My friends had it in October and a couple of them still can’t taste properly or smell properly and they were in their beds for a week and couldn’t move when they had the virus, it affects everyone no matter what anyone says

My main point is that the user was spreading fake information. Being vaccinated doesn't stop you from carrying a virus.

But it can stop you from getting the virus, meaning there is less chance of it spreading. I would theorise that if your antibodies fight off the infection, there is less time that the virus is in your body and therefore a smaller window of time that you are contagious. I don't know though

I’m not in charge of an airline, am I? Ask them if you are not happy about the restrictions Iasona

How did you feel after a few hours? I had it done yesterday, and my God, I feel awful. I have recently awoken from the worst sleep of my life. I was too cold, so I put the heating on, then I was too hot. I feel a heavy, painful and numbing feeling in the affected arm. I am not looking forward to the next one.

Colleagues reported having severe arm pain and raised regional lymph nodes.
A number of patients who’ve I’ve spoken to who had Astra Zeneca jab(s) reported feeling fluey (similar to your symptoms) for a few days.
Important to keep well-hydrated, you should be able to manage your symptoms with the painkillers you’d usually take for a headache (I’m sure you would have been told this at the time of your jab).
I’m sure you’ll soon be feeling much better

No, it stops you from becoming ill from the disease. You can still become infected from a virus after getting vaccinated, but your body will be able to fight it much more quickly. Vaccines will reduce virus shedding though, which basically means less of the virus will come out of your nose and mouth. But you can definitely still spread it.

What a great post. I wish I could rep it a thousand times.
I can remember my younger son (medic) coming home for the holidays at Easter 2020.
He said that younger people could get it and the symptoms were so mild they may not even know they had it. Immediately, I thought uh-oh... so they could be going out and about and unwittingly spreading the virus.
Therefore, if you are young, it would make sense to get this (overwhelmingly harmless) vaccine, not only for your own sake but for the sake of the shelf stacker in the supermarket, or the taxi driver, or the university tutor you may unwittingly infect in the future if you don't.

Maybe you need to re-read my post. I asked you to stop spreading false information, as a vaccinated person can still transmit a virus. That is all.

I had Oxford vaccine about 3 weeks ago. It hurt a lot in my left arm for a day or two but I had a bath with muscle relaxant salts and it got better. Also felt like I had a cold a bit and had a lump on my throat. Next one in 11 weeks

The first post is what you (lasona) originally quoted, and there isn't actually any misinformation in there. Mostly it is about asymptomatic people spreading the virus. And yes, you are right, you can transmit the virus if you have had the vaccine, but not as well as if you haven't had the vaccine, and not for as long a period of time, so the vaccine helps reduce transmission

That is false information as getting vaccinated will not stop you infecting a ‘taxi driver or university tutor’.

Reduced probability of spreading sounds like something airlines should be interested in.

I responded to this paragraph specifically:
