Anyway…You should all be thanking me…
Because I’m part of a nationwide study to see if:-
(a) How efficient the vaccine is to prevent the spread of covid…
(b) Which is the best vaccine to have…
(c) How long it takes people who don’t have the vaccine to catch covid.
We are divided into Four groups:-
(1) The ones vaccinated with the BioNTech Pfizer Vaccine…
(2) The ones vaccinated with the Oxford, AstraZeneca Vaccine…
(3) The ones vaccinated Moderna Vaccine…
(4) The ones who are in the placebo group who are not vaccinated at all…
I’m in the placebo group and so far so good, I haven’t caught it yet…
They haven’t phoned me yet, but I’m sure they will…
But basically, we are all taking part in the experiment…
Here’s a question for you Twink:-
If I have the vaccine on your recommendation and I die, how bad would that make you feel? To think that I had done something that I was dead against, but you managed to talk me into having the jab. How do you think my Daughter would feel about you, knowing she had lost her Dad? How do you think Mrs Fox would feel about you, having lost her husband of almost fifty years? I think the responsibility of having the vaccine or not, rests squarely upon my shoulders, and then there is only one person to blame…
The same would apply if I was to recommend not having the vaccine to anybody…So I don’t!
Foxy, l respect your principles. I am totally against having the flu injection, l never had it. Besides, miraculously it’s disappeared this year!
I would never have had the the Covid vaccination, only that my youngest daughter got the Covid virus (mildly).
I also felt, my life would be restricted in the future where having had the vaccination is required.
It is totally your decision and l don’t think anyone should be criticising you or telling you that you should have the vaccination.
I’m not taking any sides here OGF, and it is entirely up to you whether or not you decide to have the vaccine. Either way, the chances of you (or me) catching the virus is remote anyway especially if we behave sensibly, which is what I have said and done all along.
However, what’s this about having the vaccine and then dying? Are there any examples of people who have died due to having the vaccine? That would be worrying!
Foxy I know that you would never try to make others not have the vaccine, because you would let us all make our own decisions.
I enjoy placing bets though & I have to be honest. I think there is a considerably higher chance of you not dying from Covid if you have the jab, than if you wear your mask & self isolate…so get yourself ready and I will take you to the bookmakers to see what odds they will give me!
On a serious note though, I did shed a few tears for another member we lost. We never met but I still think about him now, so maybe I am trying to make sure that we don’t lose another one! :hug:
It wasn’t advice, it was a question :!: I think Foxy and I have known each other long enough to be able to have a discussion & still remain on good terms.
Matt Hancock takes over as head of government’s vaccine taskforce
Matt Hancock will take over top-level responsibility of the government’s vaccine taskforce, the health department has announced, as ministers prepare to ramp up the nation’s largest ever immunisation programme.
The health secretary will take charge of cabinet-level ministerial responsibility for the taskforce from business secretary Kwasi Kwarteng.
The move is to allow “for end-to-end oversight of the programme to sit with a single minister”, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) said in a statement.
Let’s hope he’ll allow greater leeway for vaccination centres which have spare capacity to call in younger age groups.
Far better to get as many as possible vaccinated than sticking to rigid rules!
When it was first suggest that doctors surgeries provide all the vaccinations, the doctors were claiming they couldn’t possibly cope; they hadn’t got the facilities/staff etc etc. SO the government arranged vaccination hubs to take the pressure off the doctors surgeries. However - when the doctors realised they’d be paid £18 per patient - they suddenly stepped up and called in as many patients - and more - for vaccinations…leaving the hubs with less demand than previously forecast! Soooooo there is scope to increase the numbers being vaccinated!
