They don’t stop, do they?
The UK has become the first country in the world to approve an Omicron-specific Covid jab that could be rolled out in weeks as the nation prepares for a dire winter.
Omicron is mild. As a killer, it’s about as effective as the common cold, so we don’t really need a vaccination. As for the dire winter, give me a break. Ever heard the one about the boy who cried wolf?
Britons over the age of 50 and younger vulnerable Britons will start to be called for a booster next month.
No thanks. I’ve had omicron. It didn’t kill me. I don’t need a vaccine.
“You can’t compare it to the ‘flu! It’s a killer! It’s much worse than regular flu!”
Well, I’ve had it now. It’s a bad cold. And, in fairness, I’d put it among the ten worst colds I’ve ever had. It’s not fun. But the flu knocks you flat, renders you bedridden for a fortnight, and makes getting up to the lav feel like a five-mile run. Ask me how I know that too. Omicron was slightly worse than I expected, took me maybe five days to get completely over it, but it ain’t that.
Why the hell would anyone want a vaccination against it? Unless they’d been scared witless by two-and-a-half years of relentless propaganda, that is…
Exactly. As I’ve mentioned here several times, it was like a mild flu for me. 48 hours in bed, a week of fatigue and I was over it. The idea of a vaccination is absurd.
Buy, but, but, but…….26,000,000jabs at what? £15 a jab? someone makes nearly £400 million.
Cynical? Moi??
To quote Sam Vimes – “follow the money, my old sergeant used to say”
Maybe Blair has exchanged his shares in the bird flu vaccine, millions of which he ordered as PM AFTER buying the shares?
Well, there you go. Just had a text from my GP advising me of the rollout and to wait for further instructions.
Had three of these ‘reminders’ by text for ‘boosters’. Which were ignored. In the end the HSE here in Ireland sent me a little “If you don’t want to hear from us regarding these boosters, let us know.” I did. Haven’t heard from them since May.
My new GP has had the sense not to bother me about it.
I had it a few months ago. It started with shivering and then I felt like crap for a week. Other than that, I’ve been fine, and will not be accepting the offer of a jab.
I’ve had three jabs in the past but I won’t be getting any more. I originally decided that, as I was in a vulnerable group, and the virus was quite seriously dangerous to me, that it was worth a calculated risk. Now, with more information, I’ve changed my position. Firstly, more research into the problems that T2 diabetics have with their immune system apply only to those who have poorly managed diabetes. This agrees with my lived experience, I am also extremely fit. Secondly, the long term effects of the jabs are completely unknown and hence involve something of a leap in the dark. Thirdly, the jabs don’t appear to be particularly effective, in particular they seem to lead to multiple infections when the unjabbed only seem to get it once.
My wife got another appointment through for the vaccine.
Even though she neither wants or asked for it. Both of us unjabbed purebloods. They haven’t tried again with me.
It gives the option to cancel the appointment, reschedule and to never be contacted again. I advised just ignoring it, she tried to use the ‘never contact again’ option. There were so many hurdles she gave up. I think they’re just trying to bully people into doing it. Luckily we don’t give a crap about missing an appointment that we didn’t ask for.
Fifteen quid a jab, not to mention the fee per head to your friendly neighbourhood medical practice. But perish the thought!
