This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.

Vaccination Curbs Covid-19 Transmission
Doctors in Cambridge University have found that a single dose of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine markedly reduces asymptomatic infections in health workers (https://www.theguardian.com/society/2021/feb/26/single-pfizer-jab-can-reduce-asymptomatic-covid-infections-by-75). There was a 75% fall in infections within 12 days of being vaccinated. This appears to be evidence that this vaccine can protect the treated individual and people that they might (in their work) transmit the disease to. We need much more evidence but it looks as if vaccines can curb transmission.
