Maybe because, as in the UK, it's the unvaccinated young who are catching it?

The fact that outbreaks are still occurring with 75% vaccination rates isn't remotely surprising, since the threshold for herd immunity increases with the transmissibility of the pathogenic, and has been estimated at around 90% for the delta variant.
Fine either way!

The ability of millions of people - tens, hundreds of millions - to parrot exactly the same tired memes, cliched insults, fallacious arguments and straight-up falsehoods, all while imagining themselves to be dangerous, free-thinking mavericks, would be funny if it weren't so tragic.

Again, no surprise, because nobody ever claimed the vaccines were 100% effective *at an individual level*. They offer immunity *to a population* if at least a critical percentage of that population is vaccinated.

If that doesn't happen, then the vaccinated are better off than the unvaccinated, but in principle nobody is fully immune.

That's the only thing the freethinkers would say in unison tho

Not that it means anything, but Pfizer will have been on site the whole time wearing masks and distancing the whole time, just like every other multi-national firm.

The risk assessments to work as an independent contractor in these places were draconian anyway, never mind at the moment.

Do you think in a pandemic they're not "in the office"? Maybe your non-effectual admin but these are large-scale operations on huge industrial sites.

A lot of these soundbites feels quite naive and sheltered to me to be honest

Gotta say that if the medical personnel couldn't tell that they were injecting into a prosthetic arm I probably would be a little wary of them doing anything that affected my health.

You'd have to make a suitably convincing little wince as they jabbed your 'arm'.

Sorry, I don't mean to look spiteful with that reaction but that last sentence is pretty funny.
