One place I worked one bloke used to nick all the soft centre caramel ones , one year I got some before him and cut them open removed the caramel and replaced it with mustard and put the foil back on , small pleasures <laugh>

I would have gone for reshaping the teeth breaking "chewy" toffee
ones and then wrapping them back up in the other wrapper.
 
Don't have one.
I don't know you but I'd guess you are not over 80. What is the point? Danish figures have 83.6% of cases double and treble Vaccinated and 13.8% Unvaxxed and 2.6% single vaxxed. It doesn't work.

Those figures are irrelevant unless you know how they compare to vaccination rates.
It also doesn't say anything about how badly affected people are by the virus or have a demographic breakdown.
Most ICU cases in the UK are unvaccinated now, IIRC.

Link?
As far as I can see from the NHS figures there are 779 people with covid occupying beds 'capable of mechanical ventilation'. It doesn't say whether or not they are being ventilated and it doesn't say vaxxed or unvaxxed.
 
I wouldn't believe anything I read in the MSM, how about something reliable, the Lancet or BMJ (British Medical Journal not Big Martin Jol) or similar
It's from the BMA, according to that article.
The ONS figures have a ton more deaths for the unvaccinated, if it helps:
  • Between 2 January and 24 September 2021, the age-adjusted risk of deaths involving coronavirus (COVID-19) was 32 times greater in unvaccinated people than in fully vaccinated individuals.

If you skew the figures. The following are 'unvaxxed':
  • unvaccinated

  • received only the first dose, less than 21 days ago

  • received only the first dose, at least 21 days ago

  • received the second dose, less than 21 days ago

  • received the second dose, at least 21 days ago
Plus back in January not many had natural immunity. Look at Kenya, in March 50% blood doners had natural immunity, now it is close to 100%. I'd like to see figures for November only, like the Danish publish.
 
Haven’t had the booster but I had little to no symptoms from either of my jabs. I had the Pfizer.

I’ve had all 3 Pfizer. First one my arm hurt a bit, second one I felt a little off the day after, third one a bit of both. But nothing enough to stop me going about my day normally.

That said most of my mates have had Pfizer or Moderna and the variety of reactions is very broad. Some people had literally no reaction, others had a bit of bother but nothing an ibuprofen wouldn’t fix.

My first two were AstraZenica, my booster was Pfizer

I have to say that my reaction to AstraZenica was probably worse, given I was utterly drenched in sweat and felt like somebody had hauled me out of a lake, but the headache I've had from Pfizer has ruined my day
