No, but they are a company. Why do companies exist?
Not going down this rabbithole and neither should you.
They are interested in that Yev. I worked in vaccine research for the best part of ten years and can safely tell you that every company wants to be the ones to end this. A magical drug or vaccine that outperforms all the others or ends covid would be extremely valuable.Quote:

The brain washing is incredible. Do you know how much the skin whitening market is worth? Is that product treating or curing an illness?Quote:

The vaccines are also a bit crap (I'm 100% convinced not by design), but that also leads to boosters being needed (if we're ignoring T-Cells), so to be roundly set upon for posing any questions on the matter is insane.
In any other walk of life we'd be asking why this is happening, who is going to benefit from it?
That will depend on financial performance across the board. These are multi-billion pound companies with huge and varied product lines. Covid isn't do or die.Quote:

They will profit handsomely from the vaccines and will do so without having to do anything sociopathic.
I still spray everything I buy in a shop with sanitiser. Haven’t caught it yet so I’m not changing that at this stage.Quote:

And agreed on it long being accepted (bar by the zero COVID mentalists) that COVID is here to stay, but it's not been accepted long (or even at all) that we were going to have to vaccinate everyone and follow that up with boosters if people still want to do things and enjoy life, which now appears very much to be the path we're on.Quote:

You do you, but you'd probably be fine. I washed beer bottle tops before drinking from them for about 2 months from last March and then got bored doing so and still don't think I ever caught it.Quote:

I think Jim nailed it when he said living on your own is the key to having avoided catching this. I mean, it made me go nearly mental, but that and working from home was a double whammy in that respect.
Not sure staying up til 5am's a factor, Yev.
I didn't. Went to bed about 10 and woke up at 5. Watched the last 5 minutes of the Bucks winning and then had another couple of hours. My sleeping is now back to being incredibly well managed and boy do I feel better for it.Quote:

Well yes, but you're much more likely to have done than me.Quote:

They should have just asked him and this could've been done with 18 months ago.
Yev was much more entertaining talking rubbish about England's football team. In danger of jumping the shark here.
As always, feel free to point out specifically what you take issue with.
You not doing your list.
Now that is a very fair comment.
But it's airbourne lol.Quote:

I feel he does about the vaccine. But definitely not about the dreaded science. There he's as consistent as ever.
And he did say he was going clubbing when this all opens up.
Hard border with NSW goes up tonight.
Zero community transmissions again today, NRL in Queensland for the rest of year including Grand Final, Olympics... Queensland>NSW
Yevrah's went from, "BUT WE HAVE A VACCINE!" to "THE VACCINE IS TERRIBLE!"
And everyone else has gone from 'we'll soon have a vaccine' to 'keep sticking it down my throat pls'.
How many weeks after the first dose can you have the second? I've been told 8 as a minimum which seems bollocks.
That's right. It was 12 but they shifted it forward to 8.
Pfizer said 21 or 28 days I think. It's just UK policy to do 8-12 weeks. Apparently it makes the vaccine more effective, but who knowsQuote:
