So far.
People think the vaccine will track them, or give them cancer, and that the entire scientific and medical community are lying to them re covid on behalf on “elites” so think we’re fucked with climate change.
Yeah totally agree and both our initial reactions were thank fuck she’s double jabbed but obviously the efficacy is only 92% so she could also be one of the 8% where it just doesn’t work.The way I look at it is, there was a relatively high %age of hospitalisations with over 40s anyway, and increased with the delta variant. If, whenever the virus gets past the vaccine, it turns the hospitalisations into feeling rough as fuck and awful for a while, the ones who would have been bad into moderate, and the ones who would have been moderate into asymptomatic... then it's doing its job.
Yeah, if I could guarantee I'd catch the thing and basically be alright after two or three weeks, I'd take it, get it out the way.Not that it matters either way and as shit as it is for her, at least she’s not lying in a hospital bed hooked up to a ventilator or even worse in a morgue.
I'm sure there is a fair chunk of society who are wandering around who are unaware of inherited conditions, although the screening for problems is pretty good.Yeah, i keep wondering about whether some people are just more genetically pre-disposed to being ill with it than others as it does seem quite random.
In terms of shielding they also weren't in the at risk group'sAsthma is a very common condition and people with it don't consider themselves not fit and healthy
In the opticians with my daughter today, signs up “this is a medical environment please wear a mask at all times”
while we’re being seen a guy comes in.
Optician: do you have a mask?
Man: Nah I’m exempt, got asthma
O: Oh me too! I always wear a mask though, it can be quite bad if you have it
Man: Nah, load of bollocks, it’s just the flu, I’ve had it twice. Of course I couldn’t walk up stairs for a couple of weeks after but it’s just a flu
O: Oh have you had your jab then?
Man: Nah load of shit, not letting them out that in me
O: Oh, they’re saying you’ll have to have it to go abroad
Man: I’ve got a camper van, don’t want to go abroad
O: OK, anyway look at this green light…
Man: Yeah Bill Gates in the WHO wants to cull the population, been saying it for twenty years look it up
O: OK, just look here
Man: I get your scared, I can see it, but I’ve done my research…
And so on. As he left he shouts out “Bill Gates, check it out”
Woman deserves a medal.
It's bollocks mate. It only kills those over 80 or literally about to drop dead anyway.....
For the most part that's true though.
Some people on here have said it only kills these people and anyone young and reasonably healthy will be fine. That's not true.
Anyone else had brain fog after their second dose?
It doesn't only kill elderly people and those with underlying health conditions, but I would guess a very high amount of deaths are attributed to those in either category. Do you have the stats? Happy to look over them if so.
Small percentages of very big numbers are still big numbers.
Has the UK vaccine roll out hit something of a wall? I saw that 6 EU countries now have higher percentages of vaccinations.

Only approx 35k per day first doses. Slower up take amongst the young uns but that’s probably offset a bit by natural immunity/antibodies in those younger age groups. If everyone who’s got a first dose gets a second that’s 89% of adult population (currently 74%). I don’t think anyone would’ve expected such a high take up at the start of the roll out
There’s been talk of herd immunity being unlikely anyway so if everyone who wants a jab has had one and the hospitals are unlikely to get overrun, then the roll outs kind of done it’s job already anyway
Ps Not sure if European countries numbers quoted are adults only or inc kids jabs ?
Spain has great overall rates but their rates amongst the more vulnerable are not so good
A nice bit of spin; not all EU countries are vaccinating over 12s.No we just have focussed on adults whereas the Eu have vaccinated across all over 12 and quote percentages of the whole population
Good bit of EU spin though

It’s over 60s - i guess novaxers.Italy also I believe have around 2 million over 65s with no vaccine
Most Spanish regions only starting vaccinating over 12s last week.Which of those above the U.K. haven’t?
It’s over 60s - i guess novaxers.
It’s inevitable the UK will do as well, IMO.Yeah they changed the measurement and many countries have pushed the jab across school age children
Personally I’d rather we get the 90% of adults double dosed then so boosters for the over 50’s

Footballers as well by the sounds of things. Where are they getting their advice from?To be fair going off my Facebook, its worrying how many under 35s are anti vaxxers ..
I don’t see the point
Herd immunity cannot be reached unless children over 12 given Covid vaccine, experts say
Experts criticise ‘unnecessary delay’ in expanding roll-out after decision to offer 16 and 17-year-olds jabwww.independent.co.uk
I presume to try and get some sort of control over it in schools? I think they started doing it in America before they started in Europe. Presumably getting something closer to herd immunity with the over 12s vaccinated also removes the need for boosters across more of the general population after 9 months of whatever it is.I still don’t see why you’d do it. It’s better to get all adults jabbed and then boosters - there’s no point in having 70% jabbed if 40% of venerable age groups haven’t
