media influence

I've got a real fear of doctors and all things medical but I made damn sure I was on the list for the vaccine. I got it three weeks ago and I'm living proof that it doesn't turn you into a robot robot robot robot robot robot
Are you sure.

I`ve just read all the discussions on the for`s and against having the covid jab. My mother was a nurse and when she was training she brought home the mims catalogue, it included all tablets, medicines ,and vaccinations, and every one had a side effect.I decided then i would never take any . I do take vitamins each day ,ive never had the flu jab ,i take vitamin c for cold symptoms . I am health conscious and i worked on maintenance at the hospital which took me in every ward ,office ,research dept and clinic. But this virus is a killer many of my friends at the hospital have suffered with it ,some have died. I CANT WAIT TO GET MY SECOND JAB.. IT`S A NO BRAINER ..
 
Now you're talking Paul, a good hot curry cures all.

True Dat!! My speciality dish (my only dish) is "Curry Hell". Chicken or Lamb (pigs, eels, Hamsters, whatever). Half a jar of Pataks Vindaloo Curry paste, half a jar of crushed Chilis from India (I have them on bulk order), Butter, Lard, onions, Grass or any other shite from the garden and it will blow your head off! Yummy.

There used to be an advert in Viz magazine for years from Lord Harpole who was the Indian owner of the Rupali restaurant. If you could eat their Curry Hell you could all eat for free. I now lay down that same challenge. Simply PM me your address and I will send you a "Curry Hell" dish FOC (£99.99 p&p). If you live, then I am sure all would agree that we would like to hear your comments on here.
 
When I had my jab I noticed a long black car with blacked out rear windows following me . A man in black suit and sun glasses was driving and I couldn't shake them off......maybe the government is tracking us !!!!!!
The conspiracy hobbyist nutters will believe that story.
 
just been talking to a relative ,70 yrs old and has been putting off getting the jab as she's scared of the side effects . i happen to know her son , not the sharpest knife in the box , is really into his conspiracy theories and is a fervent anti vaxxer and anti masker etc . after telling her the positive effects being jabbed had on my outlook and just do it , i handed the phone to my wife to have a go at reassuring her . after a couple of minutes Mrs B suddenly squealed with laughter ! turns out my relative was worried about the effect on her DNA . she finally admitted she'd heard the vaccine could turn you into a robot ! seriously
All that anti vaccine garbage is believed by some people , they are normally gullible people , easily duped and they are normally into every conspiracy theory on the planet.
I looked at some YouTubers channels and there were several of the covid deniers who believed the earth was flat.....that's the people we're up against.
 
Read this with care. Take a large population of people and watch them. Every now and then someone in that group will have a cardiac arrest, or one of the other fates counted. That doesn't mean the vaccine caused it. For sure though my fit (in September drove to France, cleared a garden) father became confused one December evening, was whisked off to hospital in respiratory failure and died 10 days later with covid.
People should have the choice, but they should be given the facts. I can tell you explaining medical things to much of our population is a challenge because a significant portion are either 1) fixed in their views or 2) stupid or 3) both. When it comes to cancer treatment the consequences only apply to the patient and the family. However with an infectious disease it can apply to the community and we should all at least consider what we do does to our community - like drink driving, smoking in public spaces, setting off nail bombs. Society is pretty tolerant at present. In the past we had leper colonies, fever ships and worse. So being banned from a trip to the Costas doesn't seem too unreasonable a price to pay for that choice.
PS I'm biased as I miss my dad.

Truly sorry to hear about your father, your poignant and clear interpretation of the information is all the more valuable when thinking of your recent loss. We should all take comfort from the fact that all this information is in the public domain and not hidden, that surely gives one confidence.

Every action we take from walking down the road to accepting a vaccine has risk but also benefit. Walking to see a friend is a benefit, falling off a kerb and breaking a leg while doing so is a risk. Reducing ones risk of dying from Covid is a benefit, the possibility of some side effects is a risk. The information available overwhelmingly shows the benefit to far outweigh any risk.

The difference today is the influence of social media on thinking and to be honest on governmental decisions. It has become a form of electronic anarchy.

Am I showing my age? Take care Nomis, difficult times.
 
I refused mine I’m not anti vax but for an illness with a survival rate of 99.7% ill Give the experimental jab a miss each to their own
The idea that when all people have had teh vaccine it ill not sp[read, you take it as much for others as yourself, like all vaccines.

The survival rate you talk about is tenuous because to "survive" many many people need to be in hospital fighting for their lives for many weeks. Some come out very weak and unable to walk because of muscle wastage, many "survivors" don't get back to normal....but yes they "survive".
If you want to take the risk and go through that precarious battle to "survive" then good luck to you, BUT when everyone is vaccinated that wants it, it will be the unvaccinated people like yourself who are in the vulnerable category.
On the bright side, there will be plenty of ventilator beds available for you.

Will there though? Maybe it will be the turn of the poor sods whose NHS has been taken over by covid patients. Like those who need hips, knees, heart patients requiring bypass operations who, if they had died from a cononary, would have been put down as having covid in the last 30 days. The NHS is in a terrible condition, it's not used to working anywhere near flat out. It to needs time to recover.
Folks have been left in pain for more than a year, because of this pandemic. I reckon they should be put in front of the nay sayers.

No one needs a ventilator for a hip operation or a new knee, and cancer patients who had treatment cancelled should come before patients who need a new a knee.
Unfortunately, anyone who needed a heart bypass that caught covid and died, was probably killed by covid because the covid attacked the weak heart.

Someone with kidney failure could be killed by covid19 if they caught it . They could have lived many more years with kidney failure if they hadn't caught it, so it is right that cause of death was covid 19 because it caused an early death.

As for covid patients filling up hospitals, yes they were, and still are to a lesser degree. What do you expect to happen, just let people suffocate and die at home from lung failure or do you believe it is all a hoax ?
