I see the boy Fox who trusted his own immune system is on a cocktail of meds, two of which can have similar side effects as the vaccine that he's scared of, amazing.

Celebrating people being ill, very odd behaviour.

I'm not though am I?  Even if I was, is that as bad as dismissing the deaths of 150000+ people to suit your own 'beliefs'?

Absolutely bilin hait down at the vaccine centre there, trying to get the booster (after 8 weeks). 
 

Wouldn’t give me it due to safety. Had the managers down, please explain to me how the elderly and immuno- suppressed got called forward to get it after 8 weeks, surely they’re at higher risk (from this safe vaccine) than me. 
 

I was begging for a vaccine I don’t want and couldn’t get it, yet I’m currently scum as I’m not fully vaccinated and can’t leave the country for work without the booster. 
 

complete shit show.

Where to?  A lot of countries now accepting negative test or proof of previous infection

It's 3 months here between vaccine doses

Despite when they were originally on the verge of being released (and being the manufacturer's recommended interval)  the original plan being to have only 4 weeks between the jabs

Not where he’s going.

[Poodler]

Supposed to have a week in Eritrea then 4 days in Belgium 

 

frustrating as fuck. 
 

was it safe to give to old people after 8 weeks if it’s not safe to give to me?

Yup that was the original plan.

But when the vaccines were released the government here realised it was going to take the best part of a year to get everyone over the age of 16 fully vaccinated. Their rationale was then "to protect the elderly and vulnerable" at all costs. And reckoned the best way to do that was to get more people single jabbed early on rather than get folk double jabbed quickly. 

The individual CMO's of England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales conspired to drum up some "evidence" that having a 3 month gap between vaccinations elicited a better immune response than the manufacturers recommended 4 week gap. 

So good that it became evident that we'd all need a 3rd vaccination 6 months after the 2nd jab. And it's now looking likely there will be a 4th vaccination in another 6 months or so. 

It's time that boosters were limited to over 65s and vulnerable groups only. Once a year alongside the flu jab.

Got my booster (4th jab cause classed as vulnerable) last week, had to wait for 3 months after my 3rd dose to get it.  Wonder if I will need another one to get to travel abroad in the summer??

[The Buzzard]

Fuck all to report today. As you were from last week. Might be 3 weeks before any significant changes to restrictions.

Doesn't pay to get too excited about a single study (even if it's a meta analysis). 

However, I will predict this: over the next few months and years people on all sides are going to discover that many of the things they thought and did were wrong and not helpful. And rather than accept that, they'll ignore it.

Having made a sacrifice, it's really hard to accept that the sacrifice was pointless.

Indeed

Trouble is that this sunk cost fallacy often leads to an escalation of commitment

Hence vaccine evangelism and refusal to back down from coercive tactics

A funny clip of a man who's "done his own research (watched YouTube videos)" arguing with a man who actually knows what he's talking about

What's funny about it?  Aye the audience member is a stuttering gluepot but the word of the "expert" on the panel doesn't supersede the evidence (yellow card reporting scheme)

[RedArmyFakshun]

That wasn't an argument.  That was a nervous young guy being belittled by the weight of the BBC while clumsily attempting to assert the right to challenge the one true narrative.

Mediocre debate within very narrow confines.  Thats meat and drink for the BBC.
