Most if not all people over 50 have received a full vaccination.  One asymptomatic granny would easily past on the infection to an unvaccinated care worker.

I dont feel “unvaccinated covid deniers” inside the UK are main danger. Let face it… it cant be more than 500,000.

The UK receives around 30 million visitors from the EU alone each year.  With only 5% of world population fully vaccinated there is a real risk of new variants.

Those who are fully vaccinated within our boarders can still catch…[Read more]

Ge dra got a choice like everyone else.  I feel her greatest risk maybe once covid 19 dies down and we return to normal.

Those unvaccinated  will be facing an increasing risk since we all need personal contact with others such as dentists, doctors and more.  The UK may reach a point where covid 19 rare, unfortunately with opposition growing ou…[Read more]

I’m not sure what “full support” means.

I think generally the vaccines are safe if people want to take them, I don’t know much about the blood clotting issue with the AstraZeneca one. If people don’t want a vaccine they shouldn’t get one, and shouldn’t be forced to.

I don’t believe the vaccines are some kind of conspiracy to change…[Read more]

Too lazy to edit?

No  Johnson and Johnson in the UK yet.    If numbers start to fall and too many miss there second vaccination, they may start offering it.

Numbers on new infections aren’t looking good here.  The India variant is spreading fast in the mill towns. The media is reporting 7 new deaths.  There reports anyone over the age of 18 will be offer a vacci…[Read more]

I think NHS is flexible on vaccines now.

While going thru health screening on Sunday, a person was did request Moderna instead of Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine.  NHS staff were happy accommodate this persons wishes.

Since most vaccination centres are now administering both, isn’t much of an issue.

There are three main reasons that informed my decision not to take the vaccine:

1. The vaccine would better used on someone it will actually work on. Herd immunity also offers protection to me.
2. It seems that the NHS doesn’t allow you to choose which vaccine you have, so there’s no guarentee I will get one that is safe for me to take.
3. There is a…

Im sorry to hear that.

Okay, turn it into an attack then, weird.

As I said earlier, the mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) are safe for people taking immunosupressants, but they are unlikely to offer much protection either. This depends on exactly which drugs they take and what is wrong with them (there are nany different types of…[Read more]

Yes, thats how you spell that word.

The stupidity is starting to affect me.

What is this lunacy?

I haven’t googled anything.

I gave you a real example of actual on the ground doctors advising a real patient.

I know this happened because I was the patient.

Is anyone even reading my posts?

I think Ge’s right 

Health experts widely believe the benefits of being vaccinated outweigh the risks, since people with chronic conditions typically have a higher risk of a severe form of the disease.

Patients with autoimmune and inflammatory rheumatic diseases face a higher risk of hospitalization from COVID-19.

Every person will rea…[Read more]

Its worth noting that the property of mRNA to resist degradation is called stability, and it has been proven that mRNA of different species have different levels of stability, that have been observed as being anywhere from only a few minuites to several weeks.

From this we should assume that synthetic mRNA designed in a lab could be made to…[Read more]

Ge, it’s clear at this point that you are not acting in good faith, this is the last post from you that I will respond to.

How exactly do you propose that the mRNA knows that the immune response is complete, and by what mechanism does it self destruct?

You clearly have no idea what you are talking about.

mRNA can’t do anything by…[Read more]

If there are any sane people reading thread then I will explain my thoughts on these points in more detail.

I don’t understand the biochemistry involved in the antibody/antigen binding reaction to comment on this but other external proteins work as antigens so theres a good chance that the spike protien would as well.

If it doesn’t then…[Read more]

Weird characterisation of me.

Then the link is wrong, no doctor would reccomend this.

At best a vaccine wouldn’t do anything because I don’t have a functional immune system to be able to produce antibodies, and at worse it would kill me because I wouldn’t be able to prevent a weakened or modified virus from replicating.

I guess one benifit of the mRNA vaccines is that they…[Read more]

I take immunosuppressants.

I give up, you’ve lost it.

What conspiracy theory are you talking about?

I just described how vaccines work.
