I'll go through the research paper you have shared. Thank you.

I know there is a downside with most medical treatments. I am against the censorship which comes to talking about the other side of the coin. I am for informed consent. And, I am against discriminating among people for choices wrt to their health.

I'm against mandates, actually. Also against censorship and spinning. My politics tend libertarian, so I believe people should be allowed to be less than wise as long as they are not hurting anyone else.

But vaccines are very much needed to save lives in this pandemic. It's the truth, and I have to keep saying it. Besides the fact I work in healthcare, I have had personal losses from this virus, and I feel like I owe it to them.

I am sorry for your loss. Sending prayers and healing your way.

Who cares, tum lagao ya naa lagao.

Mera toh yeh kehna hain jo lagaega lagaao, jo nahi lagaega, naa lagao, lekin jab tum bimaar ho jao, kisi ko blame maat karo bosdi walo.

There has been zero deaths in Delhi for eight days straight and zero deaths in Mumbai for the first time since the pandemic began. Two cities with some of the highest fatality rates and worst affected due to Covid. And this has only been possible due to the vaccines and not 'natural immunity'.

My body my choice when it comes to getting vaccinated for something like covid is a selfish choice that makes you nothing but an A-grade a-hole. Please stay locked inside your house if you want to exercise your choice. The vaccine is not just for you but people around you too. If these anti vax idiots would scream 'my body my choice' when their parents were giving polio vaccine and other vaccines as a kid, they probably would not be living a happy life today displaying their dumbassery.

And Pooja Bedi is not just anti vax but anti masker as well. Still remember how in peak Covid she and her partner were all over Goa without mask making others vulnerable to the virus.

Thank you for saying this! 🙏 It stings to see people being careless towards the vaccine when you've suffered personal losses due to the virus. I think I'm beyond my threshold now to even have a proper conversation with anti vaxxers.

I have shared the link to the numbers because we were discussing about it. Give it a look if you wish. UK and Europe's are not included in this one.

I don't have a similar experience as yours but I do have one that is completely opposite to yours. I am just looking for answers from a different place and mindset. Though our common point is that we both are against mandates.

Eventually, there's no right or wrong when either ways health and life of our near and dear one's are stake.

Thank you for getting into a healthy discussion and not getting down to name calling. I respect your opinion and admire your strength to graciously fight for what you believe in :)

I hope you are doing good now, Pooja. Get vaccination if you can. I have heard that the next Covid variants are going to be deadlier and more inectious.

Really? I heard they're gonna be more contagious but milder

Milder Omicron an ‘evolutionary mistake’: Expert

Indian-origin UK expert says the next variant will not necessarily have these characteristics and could go back to the severity that we’ve seen before

The reduced severity of Omicron is good news for now, but it is the result of an "evolutionary mistake" as COVID-19 is transmitting very efficiently and there is no reason for it to become milder, indicating that the next variant could be more virulent, a leading Indian-origin scientist from the University of Cambridge has warned. Ravindra Gupta, Professor of Clinical Microbiology at the Cambridge Institute for Therapeutic Immunology and Infectious Diseases (CITIID), led a recent study on the Omicron variant and was among the first globally to describe the modified fusion mechanism of cells at play which might make Omicron more visible to the body's immune defences.

While the study showed that the new variant, dominant in the UK and now sweeping parts of India, is infecting the cells found in the lungs less, the virus itself is not intending to become milder.

"There is this assumption that viruses become more benign over time but that's not what's happening here because those are long-term evolutionary trends," Prof. Gupta told PTI in an interview on Thursday.

"SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) does not have that issue because it is transmitting very efficiently so it doesn't have any reason to become milder, especially in the era of vaccination with plenty of susceptible hosts. So that's why I think it's an evolutionary mistake. It's not something intentional that the virus is trying to do to change its biology," he explained.

"This finding of reduced severity with Omicron is obviously good news for now but the next variant that comes, and there will be one, will not necessarily have these characteristics and could go back to the severity that we've seen before.

"And, in fact I think it probably will… Therefore, blocking infection is a potentially desirable thing to do rather than what I've heard, which is people seeing this as a natural vaccine. That is an understandable but dangerous thing to do because we don't understand the complete implications of different variants on our health," he said.

The scientist who advises the UK government's Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) and New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threats Advisory Group (NERVTAG), keeping up the vaccination drive is important because that remains "our first line of defence" against the virus.

"Whilst we have a situation of a milder variant, we should use that as a chance to increase vaccination coverage," he said.

So she won’t travel at all ?
Not attend malls and restaurants coz it’s mandatory to have a double vaccinated certificate ??
