Wow! France accelerating the pace of vaccinations.

Are you getting AZ? If you do, please report here in 2 weeks time to make sure all went well.

Good luck!

I am getting my second Pfizer jab tomorrow :thumbup:
:thumbup:

Moderna for me.
My mother got Moderna.

2nd jab of Moderna has side effects for 24 hours. Sore limbs, joints , chills and headaches


Well for your mum it did. Not everyone,

In general the people I know who have had side effects are less healthy than the people who didn't. Which is not at all surprising.

You're a young lad Panamax, congratulations on your soon to come baby.

Example of negative reporting
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/ ... -risk-high

In article
The documents reveal 15 cases of B16172 were found in one London care home where residents had their second doses of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine in the week prior to the outbreak. Four of the cases were hospitalised with non-severe illness, and there were no deaths.
So not fully vaccinated. Chance of no deaths without vaccine 1 in 800. Does the article say this? No.

Across the globe roughly 6.9 million people have died from Covid-19, according to a new analysis which suggests the death toll is twice as high as official reports.

The report, published by scientists at the University of Washington’s renowned Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), found that fatalities are vastly undercounted worldwide due to patchy testing and overwhelmed health systems.

Sorry? 40% of the U.K. population have long term illness ?

F uck we should have health passports that are nothing to do with covid.
Yes. We are a unhealthy and demographically old country.
About 26 million people in England have at least one LTC.10 million have two or more LTCs
15% of young adults aged 11-15 have an LTC.
The majority of people aged over 65 have two or more long-term conditions; the majority of over 75s have three of more; and overall, the number of people with multiple conditions is rising.

I'd be classed as having two LTCs. I have Chrohns and I take tablets to reduce blood pressure. Neither condition affects my everyday life and, aside from the additional risk, were I to get Covid, has little bearing on my life expectancy. My mum has been taking blood pressure pills for well over 40 years and is now 97 8)

The figure is actually around 15 not 26 million, 1/3 of those are diabetic.



As I said we should have passports for people who exercise and eat well not vaccines,


The 11-15 year olds are mainly asthmatics. Which is as much improved diagnosis as it is an actual health condition.

For authorities reliant on border controls to tame the virus, the path to reopening looks uncertain, experts say, as sluggish vaccine roll-outs, virus mutations, and an ingrained zero-tolerance mentality towards infections threaten to cut off Asia-Pacific economies from the world indefinitely.

“The problem is that I think there is a fear and risk aversion that has got worse in countries that have done it well, rather than better,” said Peter Collignon, a professor of microbiology at the Australian National University.


“One of the issues is how you get the majority of society to accept a certain level of risk when you have markedly decreased the risks of death and a lot of disease and your health system being overwhelmed.”

...

The border closures have nonetheless inflicted a heavy social and economic cost, separating families across continents and decimating travel-dependent industries such as tourism and international education.

Modelling released by the Sydney-based McKell Institute this week estimated that Australia’s border closures were costing the country A$203 million (US$157 million) a day in lost economic activity. Hong Kong saw its GDP decline for a record six consecutive quarters, a period that also overlapped with civil unrest in 2019, before finally rebounding to 7.8 per cent growth in the first quarter of 2021.

..

Australia’s vaccination programme is on track to be completed in 2024, according to The Guardian newspaper, although the pace is expected to pick up significantly when the country receives another 20 million doses of the Pfizer jab in the final quarter of this year.

...

Dale Fisher, a professor at the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, warned that countries such as Australia that had effectively eliminated the virus through border controls were now “painted into a corner”.

“This is not part of the media rhetoric and it’s a huge problem,” Fisher said. “I’ve raised it a couple of times, but people haven’t taken the nibble, that countries that have relied on border closures and have had zero tolerance for cases are going to really struggle to transition to the next phase.

“The rest of the world will be opening up and flying around and they will be saying, ‘How do we now transition to a situation where Covid is endemic?”

Prime Minister Scott Morrison, who has come under pressure in recent days for instituting a temporary ban on citizens returning from India, said the same month the government was in “no hurry” to reopen the borders, but as a first step could consider allowing fully vaccinated citizens to skip hotel quarantine. On Friday, Trade Minister Dan Tehan said his “best guess” of when borders might fully reopen was the second half of 2022.

In an oped in the Australian Financial Review last week, the newspaper’s European correspondent lamented that Australia risked becoming a hermit country to the detriment of its “economy, culture and international standing in ways that seem greatly under-appreciated”.

That’s not true.
I don’t know what was said in the Uk but in the US and Australia there were clear explanations about why masks were not initially recommended and why they then changed. It has to do with availability of masks.

We have also discussed the limitations on the ‘one’ study you talk about, which is that it doesn’t consider the effect on others for you wearing a mask and the control group that wore masks only wore them something like 43% of the time.

Finally, I put ‘one’ in inverted commas because you have been presented with nearly a dozen published scientific papers that demonstrate that masks work. For some reason you claim that these weren’t peer reviewed despite that being completely wrong and suggesting you have no idea what that means.

The science says masks work. All of the chief medical officers around the world say masks work. All of the experts in the field say masks work.
You don’t. You have no credibility.

They are peer reviewed scientific papers completed by experts in their field, and with clear statements that masks help reduce the spread and have reduced the number of infections. They haven’t minced words. One claimed that in their study area they estimated that masks prevented 200,000 cases. At 0.5% IFC, that is 1000 lives saved.

They are peer reviewed scientific papers completed by experts in their field, and with clear statements that masks help reduce the spread and have reduced the number of infections. They haven’t minced words. One claimed that in their study area they estimated that masks prevented 200,000 cases. At 0.5% IFC, that is 1000 lives saved.

The article has not been quoted anywhere by our senior scientists as a reason why the the advice changed.


What experiments did they do on their studies, ?

They assessed the viruses effect in possibly the biggest experiment ever conducted.
Why do they need to quote independent studies?

I wonder how many people have direct experience of death. Even working in the NHS, I am struck by how few of my colleagues have been present at a death of a family member.

In my case, and perhaps because looking after elderly relatives is something we do, the following have been cared for in their later years

Both of my mother's parents died in our home whilst I was a child.
My MIL died with my wife and I in our home.
Both of my parents died in hospital in the last five years whilst my wife and I were looking after them in their own home. My father was unexpected, but we were preparing for terminal care. She died before returning home.

In addition, my half brother died at home.

My FIL died last year whilst my wife was with him in Jamaica.

Interesting isn’t it.

Your post is also very relevant, with care homes and modern lives and travel we have a generation that haven’t cared for or been with elderly relatives as they get sick and die, what now deemed traumatic very much previously was a part of life and therefore death.

I’m not sure what’s better or worse but it has definitely changed.

It's always been traumatic, it's just we actually accept trauma is a thing these days.

Maybe that’s true , we also shouldn’t distance it though , it’s inevitable.

My coping mech is to have become very blase about death and even laugh at it. Still don't really want a load of olds to die though. If that makes me soft, so be it.
