Hate to be the forum police but if you want to talk about covid vaccines, the effectiveness thereof and general pandemic related stuff, we have a very active thread in off topic where I'll be more than happy to call you a cunt.
Can we please keep this related to the spurs outbreak and how it affects the wellbeing of our players, our upcoming fixtures and the season at large?

Hope Gill hasn’t got. Looks a sickly kid at the best of times. A dose of covid could be the end of him.
The vaccine is primarily intended to heavily reduce your chance of hospitalisation if you do get covid. It protects people from serious symptoms, it doesn't mean once you're vaccinated you're then safe from getting it at all.
Seriously, we're very far in to a pandemic now .. people should know this.
The vaccines are working just fine. They were never meant to stop the spread, just to prevent severe illness and that they are doing. The reason for the emergency measures is because there is a whole bunch of numpties out there who are not vaccinated.
Villa v Burnley game called off 2 hours before kick off. Why not first thing this morning? Total disregard for supporters yet again. All well and good apologising for any inconvenience, back it up with some financial compensation.
Pfizer = 96% effective after double dose. So 4% ineffective.
Astra-Zeneca = 92% effective. 8% ineffective.
You need a vaccine boost as their effectiveness wanes over time. So there are plenty of people who are less protected than they were after they had their last jab.
35% in hospital unvaccinated according to fullfact.org, the newbie supposedly neutral fact checking body of whom I know little.
Articles in The Guardian - a 200 year-old institution who, regardless of their political bent, are known for their robust fact-checking - have mentioned that the overwhelming majority in ICU (not just in hospital) are unvaccinated; as many from a younger age bracket as from the over-75s.
Whatever the actual number is, it wouldn’t be as high if the unvaccinated used the once-plentiful supply of oxygen in their brains and got the jab in the first place. Those precious hospital beds would be available to others rather than supporting inanimate, breathless, anti-vax demi-cadavers.
I rather like this article, straight from the mouth of a front-liner rather than a swivel-eyed dribbling tin-foil hat wearing twat (not meaning you - I’m sure you sport finest tweed):
ICU is full of the unvaccinated – my patience with them is wearing thin | Anonymous
Most of the resources we are devoting to Covid in hospital are being spent on people who have not had jab, says an NHS consultant

In a forum stuffed with complete & utter morons,

If a meteor exploded in our ground I'm convinced the PL would dock us points for failing to complete our fixtures.
Never forgive them for lasagne gate, particularly when the camera's went to Highbury and all the FA and PL executives were their celebrating Woolwich making top 4 on that final day.
Corrupt as fuck
No rush mate
Just watched the press conference, Antonio is so upset about the situation, he is close to tears. He realises that the health of people is more important than playing a game.
Not really a Spurs-related discussion going on here. Can we keep the general Coronavirus stuff in this thread. Cheers
Liverpool claim to have another strain of covid - called AFCON - which seems to have attacked Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Naby Keita
Nuff said.
But I’m tempted to add: Respectfully just because you vaccine sceptics can google some stuff (faked and misinterpreted facts, tables, stats spread by conspiracy theorists and witch doctors) please don’t call it ‘doing research’ as it’s an insult to anyone doing any kind of legitimate study.
