New Scottish Covid rule in place from today after changes to vaccine passport scheme.
From today in Scotland a negative lateral flow test which has been registered online will be accepted in place of a vaccine passport across in venues across the country.
Sense at last?

the flu vaccine is between 40-60% likely to stop severe illness
the covid vaccine is over 90%
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's the Relative Risk Reduction (RRR) figure which is deliberately misleading. The Absolute Risk Reduction (ARR) figure, which is what matters, is 0.84%. These are Pfizers own published figures.
How many would've taken the jab and in many cases suffered the horrific side-effects we are witnessing (heart/cancer issues) had they realised that it was less than 1% effective?

ARR of what?

That's astounding if true.
Can anyone trawl the Internets to fact check this?
Please have your results compiled within the hour please.

I disagree with this. It's been very clear
Vacine = return of your freedom.
Positive test = return to isolation.
Changing this now makes no sense and weakens the message to get vaccinated. It's the first defense and it's been clear, about not mixing, unless rules are followed.
People without the vacine can carry it without symptoms so can spread it if careless. Giving someone the right to mix unvaccinated is risky imo.
If anyone unvaccinated catches covid, there could be a consequence to encourage them to be extra safe and ultimately get vaccinated.
As an example, unvaccinated & tested + might be denied sick pay in isolation. Nobody was refused the jab so there shouldn't be any right to complain.
I'm not calling for this, just interested if anyone has lost interest in preventing the spread. If you catch it you might lose half a month's pay/benefits.
This is only one example. If this is a new normal, why change the initial ground rules?
Alternatively, have a one strike rule. Unvaccinated and test positive, your right to use a covid passport is revoked. No social life etc.

Oh indeed, I was aware, but the red lights are flashing when he chooses the Pfizer numbers (which hardly anyone here had) instead of the 70% better AZ one for starters.
I digress, what he is trying to say hidden behind implied claims is vaccination mainly benefits the older population. The fact remains that the 70-95% RRR number is the percentage of vaccinated "who could benefit from the vaccine" - verbatim from the Lancet report.
And the part that destroys this idiots credibility, "These considerations on efficacy and effectiveness are based on studies measuring prevention of mild to moderate COVID-19 infection; they were not designed to conclude on prevention of hospitalisation, severe disease, or death, or on prevention of infection and transmission potential."
So, I'm not too sure what point he was trying to make other than spread fake news.

Sturgeon announces no changes at present. WFH where you can and under daily review. Take a test before going anywhere if possible, and potential for extension to passport vaccine if needed.
