Seething it's not a symptom.
Seething it's not a symptom.
Was when we alI had it and had to isolate for about 3 weeks.
Hindsight doesn't come into it. I took the jab because we had no idea what this virus would do to the people I cared about. Having never tested positive (same goes for the old folks), I still don't know.
Loads of survival bias on show.
I only got the vaccine to secure the holiday of a lifetime. Never again.
I'll claim an e-victory since I never gave my employer evidence of having gotten the vaccine, even though it was MANDATORY. I know one person who got fired for not getting it.
Mate, you were actually cucked.
At least I'm not jabbed (but you're wife was etc)
What have you gained from not being jabbed? Aside from no sense of taste and lung damage, I mean.
I'd have my booster if it's offered. Love a freebie.
I'll have a further jab if offered. It will help prevent from becoming ill from COVID. It's ability to stop the spread of COVID has always been disputed but it'd effectiveness against serious illness or worse isn't in doubt.
That is, of course, the case. But its so easy for cranks now to say it wouldnt have mattered, they could say anything they wanted now that its in the past. Thats what fits the agenda now - youve some cunt had to sit indoors for a couple of weekends still with a vendetta.
I'm going to guess the studies are struggling to come up with a solid conclusion because there's so many moving goalposts. Namely the strain of the virus potentially getting weaker, prior infections granting immunity, etc. Although it also depends who's paying for the study.
I got a letter through with my booster appointment today. Might get it.

Why are you anticipating that? You have no personal stakes in this. "Yay, there's no effective treatment against this virus I'm not particularly good at fighting!" is not a thing to get your hopes up for.
If the vaccines weren't effective, surely we'd have gone back to pre-lockdown case/hospital levels after each wave? For a virus with no seasonal attributes, we've got to the land of diminishing returns pretty quick.
People who had the vaccine are dying every day. No one died before.
The majority of people that die have been vaccinated against Covid. FACT.
The loss of smell (almost completely gone now, I really have to focus and breathe stuff in deep to get the smell) and taste is brutal.
Fuck knows how Taz has managed to keep sane this whole time.
Don't sweat it pal.
As Denzel once said, if you don't read the news, you're uninformed. And if you do read the news, you're misinformed. Fucked if you and fucked if you don't.
P.s. It's interesting how over the last 3 pages people have steered away from Yev's original point that the public were told to take the jab because it stopped or reduced transmission. That's a big deal. The absolute shaming and guilt tripping that was going on back then was scandalous (in hindsight).
P.p.s. In the spirit of transparency, I only got the first jab and never bothered after that. My wife isn't jabbed and neither are our kids.
I still don't understand the position of not having the jab because the powers that be lied about it stopping and reducing transmission. Having the jab/not having the jab is (and always been for me anyway) a personal health issue. I'm 37, considerably overweight and asthmatic so it makes sense for me to get it. The vast majority on here are over 30 and as noted by Spikey M I think a page or so back (apologies if it wasn't you), it still makes sense for this age group to have the jab if you consider the risks.
Obviously giving it to children is and always has been bizarre unless they are extremely vulnerable.
A personal health issue, you say?
Add Dave. to "the list" Tazman.
Maybe not the best way of expressing it, admittedly. It's all about analysing the risks. The younger a person is the more likely they are to die of complications from the jab than of COVID itself for example. Whereas for someone in an at risk group or an older person, it's the other way round.
Ffs, RL is going to go PIMS o'clock again now.
