Do you have to disclose whether you’ve had vaccine?

The most unvaccinated group by education level are people with PHD's, it might be no harm separating the unvaccinated kids into their own class, just to see if the outcome correlates to their parents education level.

You don’t think there should be scope for changing advice in response to a novel coronavirus? Would you prefer if the Government adopted a fixed position, strict restrictions to save lives, or no restrictions and let people die? Or would you prefer them to adopt a stance whereby they adapt the advice in response to new research of the novel virus and changing conditions in the population?

Don't shoot the messenger. That was the first link to come up from a Google search.

In a US online study where the participants got to pick their own education level (without verification) - and the largest group in that study was High School or below

No questioning their reasoning behind asking, I'm sure their motivation for doing so is purely safety minded but it's still an invasive question, nevermind the position one accepting it puts the next person in, he answered so why don't you? etc.

I'm also unsure how they could use the information anyway, they can't refuse the child/worker and they can't treat them any differently to any other, even separation could be a tricky issue.

All those who say they're never giving over information about vaccines, to anyone....but they all probably own a smartphone🤣

Not only are they asking medical questions which should be private, but this particular question is almost as irrelevant as it is intrusive.

After 90 days the Pfizer efficacy at preventing high viral load infections has dropped from 92% to 78%, and AstraZeneca has dropped from 69% to 61% efficacy. The Pfizer is dropping faster, and the data coming out of Israel shows that after 6 months it's not working nearly as well as hoped for. One of the inventors of mRNA (DR RW Malone) has also predicted that at about 5-6 months the protection is very poor, if effective at all, so the data is certainly pointing that direction.

So what is the point of being so concerned about who had the vaccine, after 6 months they're both gonna be somewhere around 50% effective. So lets say you have three people in work, two vaccinated and one unvaccinated. The vaccinated ones can go to pubs, holidays etc, and in general have more interactions with people and in general have more exposure to the virus. Is the difference in likelihood of infection really so high that it warrants harassing people about? Everyone in that office will probably have a similar chance of being infected. Then it comes down to personal outcomes, we let people drink, we let people smoke, we let people drive, we let people get obese, so let people not get the vaccine if they think it's higher risk than the virus. If they're wrong about mRNA, then that's on them, and if we're right about the vaccine, then don't come crying to us when you start drooling and have cravings for brains.

I cant post links, but I'm sure I'll be asked by some to do the googling for them, so feel free to copy and paste

Highly vaccinated Israel is seeing a dramatic surge in new covid cases

They will treat her as if she is unvaccinated and require her to isolate as a close contact.

It depends on implementation. I'm not entirely sure how it was done last year. We got a couple of emails saying, "There was a case in your child's class, but if you have not already been contacted, then your child was not a close contact". So it may be the case that the school never knew who the close contacts were and it was the tracers who looked after that.

So I expect it'll work the same way this year - close contacts will still be notified, but will be told, "If you are not vaccinated, then stay home and self isolate. If you are vaccinated you may continue to attend school so long as you have no symptoms".

You can argue that your daughter will then be "outed" because she has to stay home, but so be it. She can always just lie and say she had symptoms.

I'm also unsure how they could use the information anyway

Vaccination is just one part of the containment strategy, so information about vaccination could be used as part of the strategy:

E.g. when you have a school with 80 students in one age group, and 4 of them are not vaccinated, you can have 4 classes of 20 pupils each, with one pupil in each class being unvaccinated, to keep the risk for the unvaccinated to a minimum.

Before the summer break, some European countries did 2-3 antigen tests each week for each student, to monitor outbreaks (antigen tests are specific enough for that kind of use case). If you have a class of fully vaccinated, you could reduce the number of tests.

Also mask mandates: they are more critical in classes where there are unvaccinated.

And budget: if you only have the budget to install new and improved ventilation in one class room, you could use that room mainly for the unvaccinated.

And remote learning: keeping unvaccinated at home for remote learning is a way to reduce risk for them.

No - its the vaccinated kids that are "treated differently" as they will be able to attend school, when previously they would not have (the previous status quo) - unvaccinated kids carry on the same as before.

Antibody count and T-cells are irrelevant in this study, it's an efficacy study, the mechanism doesn't really matter, it either protects or it doesn't and as time goes by, efficacy drops regardless.

I think you may be mixing up the numbers, but feel free to correct me if I'm (probably) wrong, but Pfizer efficacy was 96% at the start dropping to 84% after 4 months (bmj study from the end of July), the numbers you quoted I think are from the recent antibody study showing the count drop off over time.

edit: I notice you quoted Malone, he did not invent the vaccines and is pretty much discredited at this point in time.

Why do people think this is private now?

Vaccine status has never been private before.

The MMR is administered at school. For Creche entry my children’s vaccine history was provided. If you work in medical field you need to provide your employer with HepB vaccine evidence.
