On MacOS (~BSD) it gives more than 20 pages because it seems to treat
the keywords as OR-ed and "file" is ubiquitous. Two pages for just
"apropos remove" and in both versions it includes on page two (because alphabetically) :

Exactly.
The difference is that you who are

Exactly. BUT it reduces the spread. the virus on your vaccinated
hands will not multiply in your lungs and get coughed out into
someone unvaccinated persons face to cause them to wither and die.
Vaccination reduces the overall world virus load.
As well as 'protecting vulnerable people'
The whole anti-vax thing is simply another manifestation of the

which certainly indicates that the side effects are less worse than
the disease.
It does however, *guarantee* nothing,

I think something got lost in translation there.???
...you are probably right :)
Following the media, they talk a lot about the vaccinated and also a lot
about those who refuse the vaccine. Unfortunately, they speak very
little about how to behave those who cannot be vaccinated. This problem
The problem is that those who "cannot" be vaccinated are a miniscule
part of the population. What makes it so they cannot be vaccinated? A
severe alergic reaction to some of the ingredents might be, but that is
very rare. If everyone but them were vaccinated, one would have no
worries. The virus would die out.

Correct. They took a referendum, voted to leave the EU, did so and
went through a protracted (more than two years!) leaving negotiation
