I think most people realise by now that the idea behind COVID vaccines isn’t that they prevent infection, but that they’re meant to fight it off better if you do get sick. Well, I guess Lord Sugar didn’t get the memo because he just can’t wrap his brain around why he keeps getting COVID even though he’s been vaccinated 6 times:
You would think someone as rich and connected as Lord Sugar would be able to get some doctors round to hook himself up to a bunch of IVs and pump himself full of vitamins to overcome the infection swiftly, but apparently he’d rather log online and moan about it, as he is wont to do these days. Naturally, the comment section under his Tweet is an absolute dumpster fire from know-it-alls on both sides of the vaccine argument:
Maybe give the jabs a break…
On account of them not working.
At all.

The vaccine doesn’t stop you from getting Covid, it just protects you from how severe it can get. It limits the effects, not cancel them out totally.

Would you use the same brand of weedkiller 6 times if it didn’t kill any of your weeds?

My neighbour is the same age as you and she has had 8 jabs so it looks like you haven’t kept up to date.
This is why you find yourself in this awful situation for the second time.
By not keeping up to date with your jabs, you are putting yourself and others at risk.— Annabel 🌸 (@annaberu) February 15, 2024
No stupid jabs and never had Covid, never masked and not isolated as I’m not a sheep

Maybe you should educate yourself on these vaccines. They reduce the severity of your symptoms. They do not prevent you catching covid.
The fact you’ve only had it twice and haven’t died or been hospitalised either time says those vaccines are working as intended.— Katie (@LuxMeaMundiAM) February 15, 2024
Listen I don’t want to get into the whole vaccine debate because at the end of the day it’s a personal choice, but I do find it amusing that Lord Sugar is totally baffled by the situation and in all likelihood isn’t privy to either the conspiracy theories or how vaccines are supposed to work, this far along in 2024. The 15,000 (!) replies under his Tweet are just going to confuse him more. Too funny.
Oh well, at least he’s not Tweeting racist crap about Ian Wright any more.
