I see it now. I compared the sesame pattern to a star chart I have. I think I see a match. Maybe my turn is soon.
You have done well, grasshopper. Now it is time to unleash our plan for world domination. Is Wednesday OK for you? Only I've got a dentist's appointment on Tuesday, and you know what it's like if you cancel...
Currently trying to have sensible discourse with some of the raging anti-vaxxers on Fred Fairbrass' (from Right Said Fred) Facebook page. Seems odd to me that the only people who know people who have had severe reactions to the vaccines (as in strokes etc) are the anti-vax people. I don't know of anyone who has had anything other than feeling rough the next day. How has everyone's responses been here? I've had the double dose of AZ now. Been a bit tired the day after, and some odd pains after the second in the evening, but that's it.
About the same experience Laces, I don't know anyone who knows anyone that had serious complications. Achy joints and a bit of a headache is about as bad as it got for me
Not one of my friends, acquaintances, extended family, colleagues, or anyone I have had casual contact with, has had any severe reaction whatsoever, beyond feeling a bit **** for a few hours, or in a couple of cases, a few days. Neither has any of them reported any of their contacts having any such reaction. I do know of one matriarch who has not only refused the vaccine herself but forbidden any of her family to have it. Hopefully they’ll ignore her.
I had my second jab on Saturday morning. By 8.30 that evening I was applauding a Chelsea goal. Something not right there imo...
I had a sore shoulder/neck after each jab, but, other than that, nothing at all. These anti-vaxers are just total idiots running off a conspiracy theory. As someone has already said, thank god we didn’t have them in the 50s & 60s or we’d still be watching children die of polio, smallpox, etc In my mind, unless you have critical reasons not to have a vaccination, you are being incredibly selfish, risking the health of all those around you and taking a risk that Covid will be with us forever. The chances of having a stroke from that jab is far far less than from having one due to your diet, birth control pill (ladies, obviously) or from anything else. If you read the leaflet in a packet of headache tablets, you’d never take those either!
Won't they only be risking their own lives if the rest of us do our bit and get vaccinated? Am I right in saying even if you've had the jab that you can still carry covid? Don't get me wrong if you want to refuse the jab because of a conspiracy then you're a selfish idiot.
So what about those with genuine fears and phobias of needles? Those who would have the jab, but can't face it. And yes, I'm talking from experience. That's my situation.
Smallpox is a good disease to quote Dave, as it’s been completely eradicated worldwide, historically by inoculation and more recently by vaccination. So successful was the vaccination programme that the only people routinely vaccinated nowadays are workers in laboratories researching the virus. There hasn’t been a clinical case anywhere for over 40 years.
I`m on the Novavax trial programme - I`ve had 2 x vaccines, and 2 x placebos - no reaction at all to any of them. I`m pissed off with these anti-vaxers - they whining about their civil liberties being compromised by Nicola/Boris`s restrictions, yet they won`t get vaccinated to get us all out of this problem soonest.
Do you fear needles more than death? That might be the question you will have to ask yourself in time.
Why is it? Trying to help someone with a rational fear come to a rational answer. I have a massive fear of flying to the point I won't go anywhere. My dad had a massive stroke working in Japan, I soon found the strength to get on a plane.
