    Have you had the vaccine in the UK? Everyone who gets it is encouraged to report any side effects to the Yellow Card database. Forgive me for not being stunned that there have been several thousand side effects reported for a vaccine that’s been given to almost every man, woman and child in the...

    I mean, as far as you’re concerned, there’s a decent chance you’ll be right and you’ll be fine either way. But why leave it to chance if you have an easy and effective way to improve your odds? Basic probability if nothing else would suggest it’s a good idea. It costs you nothing and there is...

    They most certainly are. There is a long and deadly history of people campaigning against new vaccines, since the days of Edward Jenner. I’m grateful for the work of regulators in deciding which drugs are safe for mass consumption, regardless of InternetUser210’s dictionary definition of...

    Omicron has certainly hurt the immunity part of the equation, yes, but the vaccines (and especially the booster) have done an incredible job of preventing bad symptoms, which is huge. Should you run to get the 3rd, 4th, 5th booster shot? Well you tell me! If it’s safe to do so and it offers you...

    Do you pipe up in the same way when people talk about taking aspirin, or going in for major surgery? You’re arguing semantics - the vaccine is extremely safe. Spreading your anxieties about its safety isn’t helping anyone.

    It has a very high chance of doing something - immunity from the virus and prevention of nasty symptoms if you do catch it. The issue is that you don’t place much value on what it will (almost certainly) give you. That’s fine, and you’re right to point out that you won’t benefit like others...

    Why bring it up then? Are the symptom reports you’ve cited especially dangerous to the public compared to the other drugs we routinely take?

    Again, I’m not talking about you being selfish, or about your responsibility to others, I’m ONLY talking about its impact on you. So one more time - given the vaccine carries a benefit to you if you take it - even if you believe it’s only a small one - what’s the downside for you taking...

    Well as I said, it’s responsible to take the vaccine for the sake of other people, but we can put that to one side, I’m talking solely about its impact on you. The vaccine’s benefit to you may be small, but it’s a benefit nonetheless. It’s free, easily available, and completely safe, by any...

    In purely medical terms, the benefit is that it reduces your risk of contracting Covid, and reduces your chance of serious symptoms if you contract it anyway. You may think the benefit to you is small, and you certainly appear to be in a low-risk category, but the benefit is there nevertheless...

    Can’t wait for the 2024 fat bloke lockdown, with Earlsdon furiously copy and pasting calorie-count numbers he saw on Parler, and Nick rambling about people who died WITH obesity, not FROM obesity as he’s bundled into an unmarked van by the paramilitary Fat Squad for briefly overshooting his BMI.

    Kane, Gyokeres, Moore - good Maatsen, JCS - fine Waghorn - meh Bright - bad All round I think it’s been a pretty solid year so far, but a club on a budget like ours can’t afford too many misses like Waghorn.

    Played only two full games without being subbed in/subbed off this season (Peterborough home/Luton away). Sorry to say he’s been a bust so far.
