Covid jab ..🤔

[The Subhuman]

Moved mine up to tomorrow after spending 3 hours on the phone today trying to get some answers to key questions plus trying to cancel Sundays ...All to no avail.

[Smudge3920]

Finally the day arrived...I could as a 65+ years old book to get my jab... spent 4 hours online to be told ...." We are sorry to announce we have used up the current stocks of vaccine, however we assure you, you will be vaccinated by June, thank you for your patience"... wonderful I now wonder if if it is June of 2021?

Got mine tomorrow as well

[The Subhuman]

Got mine tomorrow as well

I'm yet to establish whether it's safe for Coeliacs, a lot of us (up to a third) have undiagnosed Hypospleenism which of course has a lot to do with the immune system. I will ask for guarantees at the jab site and see what happens from there. I might not be able to have it yet

well thats crazy

heard from a friend about booking vaccine locally on line.

went on to website, checked for appointments to find next one was in 10 mins....booked it, went straight there, back home half an hour later with the AZ doing its magic

[Chilli D]

Had mine (Astrazeneca) a couple of hours ago. All okay so far but expecting to feel shitty tomorrow

[Velotrax]

I had mine some 12 hours ago the astrazeneca jab, so far I feel fine, just a dull ache in my arm

I'm happy for you to not have the vacine as long as you waive your right to any treatment should you get it.

That's a fair point, but should that include other rights like freedom to assemble peacefully in public and freedom of speech once it returns to those vaccinated?

I had my very first flu vaccination in January, yet developed flu on 5th April. I started sneezing and then came a chest infection, cold sweats, coughing, etc. 7 days later I'm well on the way to recovery with no NHS treatment. The vulnerable ones wouldn't be so lucky and would need care and longer to recover if ever.

Don't view me as insensitive or even callous to the needs of others, but I value my British culture and it's tradition of freedom for all and I will not remain silent as a blanket ban on movement and gatherings is enforced by the state after bungling the initial pandemic response in the early stages. They knew Wuhan flu was on its way and did very little to stop it, hence the crisis, reaction, solution we see 12 months into the new normal!

If my car breaks down I take it to a garage. In a similair vein I will bow to the people with the greater knowledge in the relevant professional body none of whom have said do not get the Jab.

I'm the same.

I went to my GP and on to a hospital when I had kidney stones, when I dislocated fingers, when I had a hernia. When my kids were born, we went to a maternity hospital, one was a little early and spent her first week in an incubator watched over by a consultant and an army of nurses. I trusted the procedures they carried out and the medication they prescribed. I had to, I have no qualifications or expertise to challenge them. Saying I trust science, medicine and Big Pharma for the most important things but not in certain random areas would be arbitrary, illogical and irrational. I just don't accept that those who work in oncology or neurology are good guys but those who work in vaccines are bad and playing with our health...

That said Gandalf...I got a call 3 days ago asking if I could come in ...as they had some vaccines over due to patients passing away!!!! ....so I went angot jabbed...!... Not sure they should be telling people they have vaccines over due to death

[Bally]

I couldn't care less if you have the vaccine or not but if you don't have it dont expect to go abroad why would any country welcome you and I don't blame them

Sir Mick on Covid

[Bally]

Research now showing the vaccine increases chance of blood clots in the brain.

But more likely to get them from covid,birth control and long haul flights so let's stop all those

[Mrs64]

UK latest figures :

50 million vaccinated
1,450 hospitalised now. (39,250 in mid-January)
1 death today. (1000+ deaths a day in January)

Thankfully the vaccines & lockdown obviously had a massive effect that gives us all hope for future

Not good for you & many other countries

One thing our government has got right is the handling of the vaccination process in the UK, whether the significant progress in combating Covid is down to coming out of the EU is open to conjecture.

I believe not having to answer to Brussels & the rest of Europe has quickened the vaccine process up for the UK citizens.

We're not out of the woods yet, once we are out of lockdown III the following few months will be telling!
