I firmly believe the the medics should do the right thing for the anti vaxxers mental health. If they get symptoms of covid they should be offered an option of being treated with their folk remedies, such as Invermectin by anti vaxx nurses in a separate ward. That way there would be no 'big pharma' intervening and pumping them full of 'questionable medications'. Or just stay home Covid is no big deal, right? Which is why the most brainwashed amongst them go to the hospital and refuse to acknowledge that it is Covid that is killing them. And yes, it is funny that they don't trust the science of the vaccines, but will take every other expensive experimental treatment available once sick. Double lung transplants aren't cheap either. When all they had to do was get an affordable vaccine, which would have more often than not kept them out of the hospital in the first place. I do not understand medical staff that refuse vaccinations at all. Or police firemen for that matter. The leading cause of death for policemen last year was COVID-19.

...if it led to their demise, I would cheer them on... Go Tories! Predictably useless, selfish and self-righteous scum.

Proof that time travel is real, straight from the 18th Century. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-58993387With his childrens names too, these are real Peter Theodore Alphege, Mary Anne Charlotte Emma, Thomas Wentworth Somerset Denton, Anslem Charles Fitzwilliam, Alfred Wulfric Leyson Pius, Sixtus Dominic Boniface Christopher. In his defence he is a Baron (son a of a peer), has his own coat of Arms and has probabiliy never bought a pint of milk; he had a nanny too. His late night internet history is as yet untold and might be quite scary. You could not invent him. Is he double jabbed?

I had my vaccine booster last week. Raised my concern about using up a vaccine ahead of others more vulnerable or ādeservingā with my GP who was adamant that I should have it as soon as I can, to protect myself and others. No apparent indication of shortage of supplies or long waiting times.
From my own experience, have had three doses of Pfizer shots with no side effects apart from a sore arm. In fact, there was only negligible soreness or aching after the last jab. It does sound like those who had the AZ jab previously suffered the worst side effects and I consider myself fortunate to have been given Pfizer. I understand that it is only the Pfizer jab being administered now.
Hope you all have the opportunity to get your boosters very soon (and flu jabs)

Best fix is to get the millions that are likely OK with the ad to send thank you's to Tesco. As for me, since it's available, I got my booster jab today with my flu jab. Woot! Woot!

And so the over 40's can now get their booster jab. If my maths are correct then a week before Christmas for me
I must admit slightly concerning that the efficacy of the AZ jab after 5 months is only about 44% which is where I am now. Better than nowt I guess

Does anyone know what '44% efficacy' actually means? My interpretation is that means you are protected in 44% of the instances where you would have caught Covid without having had a vaccine. So if you have 3 such instances, your chances of not catching Covid are less than 9%. Yes, better than nothing but not by much. Even with much higher efficacy rates, your chances aren't that good if you are exposed to lots of infected people. What that really means is that the vaccine was only ever going to be really effective if it was accompanied by a significant reduction in potential exposure eg through a further lockdown. Then it's likely we could be have seen Covid virtually eradicated. But so few people try to understand the maths, least of all the thick Tory government, so we end up with a continuing mess and hundreds of needless deaths every day. Still going to have my booster jab and try to live a normal life though!

This is quite a good explanation of what is meant by āefficacyā as opposed to āeffectivenessā and what that means www.who.int/news-room/feature-stories/detail/vaccine-efficacy-effectiveness-and-protection

Thanks, that is interesting, and not something I have seen before. However, under that definition, efficacy must be critically dependent on the amount of Covid virus in the population at the time of the trial. I suspect efficacy rates are a lot lower if there is a lot of Covid around and vice versa. Perhaps that is the reason that AZ efficacy has fallen to 44%. If so, that's hardly a surprise, and is further evidence that the vaccine rollout should have seen a tightening of controls, and not f'ing Freedom Day.

Had my booster today! First time on the Pfizer (first 2 jabs were Oxford / AZ)... waiting for the superpowers to kick in!

Del had his booster on Thursday, and it was Pfizer hat trick for him.
He has been pacing himself all weekend and so far the side affects have been mild in comparison to when he had his second jab.
so far he's used his superpowers to watch Motherwell FC win against Hearts
