For me.... when vaccinated, you should take your passport.... have it stamped with a date... if you want to go abroad on holiday, show your passport, and if theres no stamp, swivel on your heel and **** off home..

It's insane that people think like this. No doubt you like having a stranger go elbow deep in your backside too, just to 'make sure' that you're not an Al-Qaeda operative or drug runner

Yes, people should be free to go and spread infections far and wide or bring them back home. Can't understand why anyone, or any country, would want to prevent them. How unreasonable.

Hahaha...Big 'Drunken Duncan'!! Bit of a character to be honest.My mate was friendly with him and did a bit of 'minding' for him.He had a great love for racing pigeons and from memory paid £10 or £15 k for a racer one time!!
£10 or £15k, that's some difference!
After all week of getting the run-around, from my surgery, online form and 119 phone number, I'm booked in for my vaccination tomorrow.

Seems to be a lot of Bigots around wanting a 2 tier system trying to make out those who have being vaccinated are somehow more deserving of those who have not.

Funny thing is being vaccinated does not necessarily still stop you from spreading covid anyway.

Don't you think some of these 'bigots' might be joking, just a bit?
 
Quite amazing what the world is discovering re Covid...reading about an arthritis drug which cuts the risk off death in severe cases and time in hospital.. Tocilizumab... and an asthma drug which was reducing severe respiratory problems by 90%... each day something seems to surface...

What about all the people who aren’t allowed to have it due to allergies?
 
All the people...You mean the very few? Though how do you lnow you are allergic to a new vaccine?
No
I mean all the people
I don’t know the exact amount, but there are several hundred thousand people allergic to peanuts for a kick off (1 in 200 adults and 1 in 50 children) and they can’t have the vaccine due to anaphylactic response.
Basically anyone who might have an anaphylactic response can’t have it.

I'm not sure about that. The NHS website states the following:

the MHRA has advised that those with allergies, including anaphylaxis, to a food, medicine, vaccine or insect sting can receive any COVID-19 vaccine, as long as they are not known to be allergic to any component (excipient) of the vaccine.

and

Previous allergy to foods is covered in Public Health England’s Immunisation Against Infectious Disease (the Green book) which states that individuals with previous allergy to food, including anaphylaxis, can receive the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.
my sister-in-law, a nurse, was one of the early recipients of the Pfizer vaccine. She has a peanut allergy. The guidance is that in such cases the recipient should be observed for a minimum of 15 minutes after the vaccine is injected.

Interesting.
Relative has a peanut allergy and got a letter saying he can’t have it due to that.
Don’t have a link do you?

Not that it’s particularly relevant by the way but everyone needs to be observed for 15mins after the Pfizer vaccine I believe

EDIT - Just had a look and it seems things have changed. Thanks for that. I’ll let him know

Perhaps there'll be a return to separate bars in pubs, one for people who've had jabs and the other for all the bastards who haven't. :emoticon-0105-wink:
Sounds good to me!!! Infact it sounds like utopia!!

My wife's had the vaccination and I haven't(I'm a key worker incidentally):emoticon-0100-smile

Here's a link for the data junkies. Most of them are just a load of squiggles to me, but some of the ones toward the end appear to show a marked improvement in the weeks following the vaccine roll out.


NEXT SLIDE PLEASE....https://assets.publishing.service.g...D-19_and_Influenza_Surveillance_Graphs_W6.pdf

Thanks for posting.

Haven't got time at the moment for a good look but even at a cursory glance it suggests:

Lockdown is having a significant impact.
Reducing the transmission in schools is key to controlling the spread of infection.
The loosening of restrictions at Christmas was a mistake.


And more contentiously, some areas, especially in the North East and East Yorkshire, did not need to go into Lockdown.



Interesting.
