   Look, we know all this. Why d'ye keep trotting it out as if it's profound in   
   some fashion?   
      
   a) vaccines prime your immune system. So if you do get it, covid won't be as   
   bad as it would otherwise have been.   
      
   b) viruses mutate. Which is why I keep taking the jabs as they are offered.   
   It's routine now: I get a message from the climic and I go there are they give   
   me a covid jab in one arm, and flu in the other, at the same time. This will   
   now happen every winter. Prior to covid, I was getting the annual flu jab late   
   every year. Only had flu once in the last 20 years - and that was because that   
   particular jab was only goodd for 3 of the 4 strains going around, and I was   
   unlucky.   
      
   c) Vaccines/transmission. Just because I'm vaccinated doesn't affect the virus   
   load someone coughs on me. What vaccination *does* affect is subsequent   
   events. Which is what counts. So stop bleating that the manufacturers did no   
   transmission tests. Why would they? Why would anyone expect them to?
