RedArmyFakshun Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Vaccines against respiratory viruses can never provide anything more than a temporary cross-reactive immunity update. They are merely a synthetic replacement for your annual natural exposure to the smorgasbord of cold and flu viruses. Immunity as a service, imposed on society by trickery. The only question was always, how long between booster shots? Weeks, months, years? https://www.juliusruechel.com/2021/09/the-snake-oil-salesmen-and-covid-zero.html Link to comment

The only question was always, how long between booster shots? Weeks, months, years? https://www.juliusruechel.com/2021/09/the-snake-oil-salesmen-and-covid-zero.html Chickenpox vaccine seems pretty effective if given in childhood. One dose gives roughly 90% coverage, but in UK we are giving 2 doses 4 to 8 weeks apart to kids which is considered to boost up to 98% effectiveness and 100% against severe illness. Long term coverage is reckoned to drop to no worse than 82% after 10 years with one dose, double vaccinated to 92% with the likelihood that this coverage will persist. Not quite as effective if given to teenagers and adults at around 75% effectiveness although the 100% coverage against severe illness is maintained. Link to comment

It's not given routinely, only offered to those close contacts of those at severe risk of the complications of chickenpox and for healthcare workers who are non-immune But it is available on request from GP's if you really want to children covered Link to comment

Poodler Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 This thread has really died, excellent. I got the old Vid last week, coupla brutal days over the weekend but over it now. had everyone back at mine last Thursday aswell after the bar and they’re all fine. There’s no rhyme or reason to how it moves. She had it a few months ago and I never caught it when living with her, I assumed I just wouldn’t get it. Then was cruelly struck down in the kingdom of Rosemount by an unknown assailant. Link to comment
manboobs109 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 It's a strange one. More people getting it and dying from it than last year and yet no levels, outside drinking etc etc. Should've listened to me from the start and just cracked on. Link to comment

Why are people still dying from it is the puzzler, vaccine uptake in the older age groups was near 100%. You are correct though, the whole lockdown thing was an utter waste of time Link to comment

How long does a life have to be prolonged to be classed as saved? A year? Two? Five? Ten? I agree like, waste of fucking time fae the start. Link to comment

Jocky Balboa Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Regardless of what the truth may be about the virus and it's threat level, the level of compliance among the masses has been the scariest thing for me. As time went on, not only have we seen multiple crackpot conspiracy theories, there have been just as many complicity theorists who have hung on every word and barmy restriction put forth by power mad politicians. We've certainly seen who the would-be Nazi / Stasi collaborators among us are. 1 2 Link to comment

One thing folk need to stop doing though, is comparing anything that's went on here, to Nazi Germany or the Holocaust. It's something I'm hearing more and more and it's literally not comparable, and also lazy of the person doing the comparison. Link to comment

Invented by Jews to make people sympathetic towards them IMO. Link to comment
