Please stop spreading misinformation.

Not trying to be an ass; what I've been reading: once you get the 2 doses of vaccine and ASSUMING your body is producing the antibodies... (which also takes time) AND you have to assuming your body keeps producing antibodies.
It ONLY means
a) you don't get sick.
b) you can still transmit.
c) you are still infected.
Therefore, herd immunity is still the only solution which does take time.
Am I wrong...

Am I wrong... | Yes, your choices for herd immunity are
1) Everyone gets covid, hopefully don't die or get long term issues
2) Get vaccinated

c) you are still infected.
Therefore, herd immunity is still the only solution which does take time.
Am I wrong... | a) is the key important factor
b) yes, which is why you are told to continue with mask usage, sanitizing and social distancing
c) this will only happen if you disregard safety measures
herd immunity via the vaccine is completely different than herd immunity via the actual virus.
it's layered protection where the goal is for you to not get sick (should you contract the virus) and that you continue to do things to stop the spread just in case.

-from the article
OTTAWA (NEWS 1130) – Canada’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout is set to kick into high gear after major disruptions left us with zero doses just a few weeks ago.
To date, Canada has administered just over 1.1 million doses, and in the next four weeks we’re expecting 1.8 million from Pfizer and 168,000 from Moderna.
Major General Danny Fortin is confident the provinces will be able to handle this major increase in distribution.
“There’s still more work to do, for sure, at all levels in the coming weeks. But the provinces have solid plans,” he said.
While Pfizer appears on track to meet its target for the end of March, Moderna is still short 1.3-million doses. But Fortin insists the gap will be filled.

HK are lifting restrictions after CNY... Restaurants will be serving until 10pm (instead of 6pm) up to 4 at a table (instead of 2). Gyms, etc ,will be reopened
The caveat is that the government's tracing app has to be used to go to these places now. Tracing is obviously very important, but good luck getting people to trust the government now.

Two of the countries where the scary new variants were first identified have cases dropping like a rock.
South Africa: 
UK: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/uk/
What gives? I know UK is in a "lockdown" but South Africa just seems to be plodding along as usual

at this point? Why would anyone do that? This is the UK we're talking about not some tinpot dictatorship. If they're going to spread fear and uncertainty with the new variants why would they fudge the case numbers? Makes no sense.

3 months into the gatherings ban and still 400-500 cases with handful of deaths daily
we didn' spiral out of control and overwhelm the system but not sure what they mean when saying it's trending in a good direction

Already go to work and then back home, don't see my friends and family, and restrictions aren't ending anytime soon so another wave is just business as usual as far as daily life goes.
