Me too Norbs, I went to watch the England Germany game during the Euros at the pub because I thought I'm double jabbed and will be immune from the virus, how wrong was I, caught it, in fact 8 of us caught it of whom 5 were double jabbed, anyway I felt like I'd had the **** kicked out of me, was rough for about 10 days before coming out the other side.
I posted something on a local Facebook group about continued vigilance and there were still morons that said they couldn't care less and wouldn't wear masks. Frightening the disregard the young have for the older generation through this
I'm testament to the fact that you can be double vaccinated and still get very poorly

There was.something in the guardian about a recent study which suggested a smaller benefit than that for Delta although based on quite a small data set.
"Writing in the Lancet, researchers from a number of institutions including Imperial College London and the UK Health Security Agency (HSA) report how they analysed data from 204 household contacts of 138 people infected with the Delta variant.
Of these contacts, who were recruited within five days of their household member showing symptoms and were tested daily for 14 days, 53 went on to become infected, 31 of whom were fully vaccinated and 15 were unvaccinated.
The results suggest even those who are fully vaccinated have a sizeable risk of becoming infected, with analysis revealing a fully vaccinated contact has a 25% chance of catching the virus from an infected household member while an unvaccinated contact has a 38% chance of becoming infected.
However, the figures do not shed light on the severity of illness, while the team cautions these figures fall within a range of possible values, meaning the exact size of the difference is unclear."

Interesting, I heard an Irish infectious diseases professor on the radio quoting a large study done in the UK saying it was 1/25 chance when fully vaccinated but 3/25 if unvaccinated.
The numbers seemed low to me but I'm no expert.
In any case there are also thousands of Aussies waiting to come home to states like WA that are behind in opening up.
At least they'll have the studge to watch when they get in
Not sure he's complaining he had to do it, just that it sucks which obviously it would.
WA should get it's act together and get vaccinated faster even with 90 pct fully vaccinated over 12, they are going to see a big increase in cases when they inevitably have to open up because they have had barely any exposure.
It's true vaccinated people can still spread it but studies have indicated they are about 3 times less likely within a household vs an unvaccinated person.
