You're on some of my meds, just stick with it mate, it's been 7 yrs since my last drink but I had a hell of a reason not to.
There are always new strains of flus, and probably covid strains too. As I understand it, the flu jabs people get each year target the dominant strains at that time. Many vaccines do work by injecting a small amount of the virus, although the covid ones were MRNA vaccines which, again as I understand it, work slightly differently in that they don't inject the virus itself but a piece of RNA telling your body how to fight that virus, which your body would normally produce as a response to encountering the virus, thus this way skipping a step and avoiding the use of the live virus. That technique was quite new at the time of covid but may be commonplace in many vaccines now.
Sounds like you did your own experiment This year you didn’t have a flu jab like usual and got flu. Flu is always mutating, so the jab can only try and catch the most prevalent strains
I paid for my flu jab for 5 years before I got it for free. Used to work in a Uni and realised if I was off for 3 weeks, I would come back to an office full of marking. Haven't had the flu since way back in the 80s. Had whatever Covid jabs were offered. Think I had it very early on pre jab and pre tests. Had it once since. Was vaccinated against Smallpox back in the 70's as we went on holiday to the then Yugoslavia, which had an outbreak in 1972.
If at risk or with a compromised or weak immune system, you should certainly have a flu vaccine. Whether it is worth having one if you're not at risk is an individual decision, hopefully never arbitrarirly enforced again.
mad thing is the immuno suppressant im injecting fortnightly gives me side effects of ....you guessed it flu symptoms. so i have 24-48hrs of flu every fortnight. ive got used to it. my immune system is only supposed to be shut off in the skin department but it does overlap. my pal has spent 12 hours in bed for 3 days running and is now on the mend. up and about. i didnt get that bad. i really wanted to get the jab, its just despite injecting myself every 2 weeks, im still scared of needles blood tests i almost faint if i look at the blood filling up the syringe. whereas i have no problem drinking it straight out of the jugular.
The Covid Contracts: Follow the Money 10.15pm, ITV1 Thanks to the taxpayer-funded largesse of the government, lots of people did very well out of Covid. Many of them were connected to the Conservative party. This enraging documentary is a story of greed, in which established PPE providers were sidelined while previously unknown companies got rich. It’s also a story about lies; documents and emails reveal the extent to which the public were deceived about “VIP lanes” and the efficacy of the materials the government acquired. An essential record of a national scandal.
We'd clearly need rocket science level maths proficiency to quantify it, but the chances of that being a coincidence are surely vanishingly small.
Since my weeks visit in hospital in August i've been on that, took Aspirin off me, lowered Ramipril and now take Apixaban twice a day.
I read an article a while back about chairman of Arco. He came over as very diplomatic, along the lines of "we were very surprised not to be asked about our expertise in this field". In the hope of finding the exact quote I googled "arco chairman covid supplies". https://www.arco.co.uk/news/response-to-the-write-off-of-government-procured-ppe "the Government could have engaged more proactively with Arco to benefit from our expert knowledge to support the process" There are pages of articles, a couple about how Arco circumnavigated the central supply and provided hospital trusts direct, and donated masks and hand sanitizer direct to Leonard Cheshire Homes.
this is a great example when we think of corruption, its easy to point to places like russia but the uk is absolutely rife in it, its always brushed under the carpet, look at how many people become very rich from things like this similar to the high speed 2 etc etc its actually shocking more is not done about it its almost just allowed
