At least half the populations of Sweden and the UK have probably already been infected. But because reinfection is possible and COVID-19 can cause severe medical complications, it's recommended that people who have already had COVID-19 get a COVID-19 vaccine. Most people who get it will never even notice.

It's estimated that getting COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccination both result in a low risk of another infection with a similar variant for at least six months.

The severity of measures is likely to make very little difference to the ultimate outcome. Any decline as a result of suppression will inevitably postpone those deaths unless the suppression is permanent. “Mortality decline in epidemics is normal because the vulnerable inevitably die first. No other scientific paper has made such an impression. But leaving the rest of the population unaffected by measures was executed well and is effective."ĭoesn’t have much to say in favour of Ferguson’s ICL model… “it’s not very good… it rests on the assumptions that can be heavily crtiticised. ![]() That said, Sweden failed in that respect because they did not shield that vulnerable group sufficiently well.

The measures that are being taken by other countries, very few have a thread of evidence base – border closures, school closures, social distancing – there’s almost no science behind most of these. The most recent study on the subject, published in the world-leading New England Journal of Medicine, shows that prior Covid infection conferred better protection against symptomatic Omicron (BA.1 and BA.2 subvariants) more than a year after infection than three doses of vaccine more than one month after the final dose.
