KJo about to get the whole industry bashed - Page 2

Again, it depends on a lot of things; no one is asking anyone NOT to be careful. It also depends on the vaccine given; it also depends on how unwell they were; without reading the case history of these people who were unwell and who died, I am unable to comment.

I can only go by the data that has been released by the National Institutes of Health and the CDC and Public Health UK on the efficacy of vaccines used outside of India. Perhaps, if and when India decides to release data for research purposes which it might not due to failings in the system being exposed, we will be able to detect what happened. Until then, as stated, I have to go by data released from research in other countries.

I am also speaking from experience of people exposed to B1.617, the variant first found in India, and it seems that it was those that were not vaccinated that were admitted to hospital. Again, I am unable to compare like by lack due to different conditions in Indian hospitals and different vaccines and the lack of data for research purposes from India.

Further ongoing studies in Europe and the US & Canada, will provide further clarity.

Bold - That means avoiding unnecessary parties too, right?

That’s the point I’m trying to make.

Idk but for some reason.. celebrating and throwing parties when people in my country are dying would personally make me feel guilty. Not just because of the spread. I know life goes on and must go on..but now is not the time for throwing bashes.

Is it allowed to gather in groups amidst COVID?

But if we read the entire article from beginning to end, it does mention that a lot of the A-listers including Ranveer-Deepika, Saif-Kareena, Adi Chops-Rani M & Virat-Anushka have decided to miss KJo's birthday partyToh phir bacha kon? Who's going to Alibaug? Not many will want to risk public wrath.

I haven’t been to Alibaug in years but it’s not too crowded.. the beaches are very clean.. especially for Mumbaikars it’s a peaceful getaway.

He should wait a year

50 is bigger bday anyway

Probs misses the party drugs more than the party/people tbh. As much as I detest cancel culture, I’m totally here to see KJo and his clan get dragged for partying whilst India quite literally struggles to breathe.

I think it's false news. Pinkvilla was probably trying to whip up hatred against KJo to get some clicks. There's been no party so far and nobody spotted going to Alibaug.

The article seems quite specific to be false news, mentioning 3 particular dates.

Alibaug makes sense since Srk has a house there. Maybe they all slinked off there in the dead of night 😆

I’m speaking from experience.

I know a lot of people who had taken both doses but still contracted the illness.

Some of the passed away too. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Take the vaccine but doesn’t mean you have to be careless!!

Do you know which vaccine and what the timeline between the second vaccine and COVID infection was?

Most of the people I know who got COVID recently in India had only one vaccine or unvaccinated. The number of people getting COVID after Moderna or Pfizer is exceptionally rare. And usually when it does occur it is within two weeks of receiving the vaccine. There have been more after AstraZeneca and J&J because their efficacy is lower. But death is almost unheard of unless there were multiple serious comorbidities. There would be serious alarm bells ringing if the death rate in vaccinated people was high.

That being said good COVID data and statistics in India are quite obfuscated and perhaps the publicly available data is not the full picture.

In general:

Most fully vaccinated people are unlikely to catch COVID. But there is a probability they still can.

Most fully vaccinated people are unlikely to die or be hospitalized. But there is a probability they still can.

Fully vaccinated people do not need to mask up in outdoor or indoor settings. But should comply with all local ordinances.

However, if fully vaccinated people are in any situation where they don't have a guarantee of everyone's immunization status - they should mask up and follow all COVID safety protocols. A small gathering of friends or family whom you know are vaccinated is perfectly fine to be unmasked indoors. But grocery errands, shopping, travel etc. should be done masked.

Fully vaccinated people can stop masking if their local region reaches 60% plus vaccination rate.

It is OK to continue masking permanently if you wish. Masks don't just protect you from COVID but most airborne viruses.

*fully vaccinated = 2 doses of a vaccine within recommended timeframe + 14 days after the second shot.

I highly doubt that Karan Johar is foolish enough to host a party mid-pandemic, especially during India's crushing second wave. Irrespective of how many people are fully vaccinated - its not just highly risky - it is insensitive to party while the nation suffers.
