I took an antibiotic for an abscess all good, 6 months later, same antibiotic same reason and it destroyed all the bacteria, good or bad in my digestive tract and that took 2 and a half years of hell to recover. For the Covid Jab - A single dose is massively less probable at any kind of adverse reaction but where I'm unhappy is that the manufacturer says 21 days, there is limited data on the longevity of a full course and none on a half course. Of course the drug companies could just be padding it out that '2 doses are needed' from a profit point of view but if they are not, and are right about the 21 day gap being the only way it works properly, then I hope the good old Government is ready for the wrath of litigation for bolloxing it all up and killing millions. |

Re: Risky business?
My wife and son no longer have a job and the sooner the vaccine is rolled out to as many people as possible the better as far as I am concerned so that things can get back to something more normal .
As far as the comments on civil unrest are concerned , I can see people becoming more intolerant of people whose behaviour risks spreading this virus or prolonging the restrictions. |

Re: Risky business?
The simple way of raising the acceptance rate is to link your vaccination status to your passport in regards foreign travel, no jab, no leave UK. While it's possibly on the cards at this end it's more probable on the cards at the destination end.
There will however be holdouts regardless of what carrot/stick methods are used to get people to have the jab, unfortunately nature will take it's course amongst them over time. |

Re: Risky business?
The Vaccine companies, the NHS and presumably the government have been protected from legal action for any adverse affects of the vaccine because it is an 'emergency' medicine and they have not really had time to test it properly....

Similar to the Flu vaccine it's to help protect the vulnerable, not everybody. The same will happen with the CV Vaccine, limited numbers to protect the vulnerable. "Not all deaths are a tragedy" Is a quote from a speech made in Parliament regarding those who succumb to Covid. The premature of a death of a Child, or young Adult who's lives have yet to start are a tragedy. The passing of someone much older (70+) is not, they have lived a life. It is not to suppress any emotions to the older Generations who are Parents, Grandparents or even Great Grandparents. |

The CV vaccine is initially being rolled out to protect the most vulnerable but in time is intended to protect everybody . Even older people don't deserve to die just because they might have underlying health conditions , when they would have carried on living if they hadn't caught Covid.

When we start to think of any section of society as vaguely expendable we sail very close to a very nasty philosophy. Best resisted before it becomes acceptable.

Re: Risky business?
I think i have probably not represented what i meant to say in the best manner. Let me try and find the speech that was made, as it was not about the Elderly being expendable.
I will clarify, that i'm not for letting anyone die unnecessarily regardless of age or any other factors. |
