    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I just walked into the vaccination centre. No booking. There was only a very small queue, a couple of people. They asked me for my NHS number and gave me the jab (Pfizer).

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    when you consider 9 out of 10 people may have come into contact with covid again and again and show no symptoms, it's difficult to separate the role of vaccines from natural exposure. I value the first two jabs but on the booster jab, if it wasn't offered, I would not be too worried. I think it...

    I've had high hopes for the vaccines back in the spring but since the delta variant arrived, I felt in a sense being let down. I hope that the new covid pills are going to be as good as their makers claims.

    : I am skeptical about repurposing any approved drug for treating covid. I know the strategy is legitimately pursued by a lot of scientists, that still does not convince me that the strategy is sound. Specifically about Ivermectin, the effective concentration of ivermectin in vitro to affect...

    I support his view that the current crop of DNA and RNA vaccines are not good enough, certainly no better than the deactivated virus vaccines. So licensing them as vaccines push the boundary toward political expediency.

    why? because common sense tells me not to trust experimental medicine until they are properly trialled. Until their acting mechanism is well understood, I treat all the studies with skepticism. If you are interested in the chemistry of antivirals, here are those that we mentioned in this...

    it seems to me that OP knew already what he would do if BJ does not come to his rescue. Let's wait for the result of the by-election. I reckon Labour would take the seat from the tories.

    Joe, I don't know much about antivirals so I can't have a sensible discussion with you on that. However, I know that a lot of antivirals do more harm than good. Molnupiravir is still going through trials at the moment. It's not the first time this government jumps the gun and licence an...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    there is no chemical relationship between Molnupiravir (a derivative of cytidine) and Ivermectin (a macrocyclical lactone). Molnupiravir works like a virus made for viruses. During replication, viruses accept Molnupiravir same as the real cytidine, Molnupiravir creates so many faulty mutations...

    I was talking to a travel agent yesterday. They told me how messy it is dealing with covid pass on behalf of their customers. Israel's covid regulation is tougher than most.

    UK MHRA has approved Molnupiravir, an antiviral costing about £500 a course. It will be given to those admitted in hospital. Antivirals like that will remove the need for booster jabs unless your immune system is compromised.

    I would say that most of the problems can be reduced by more regulations. Supermarkets charge for plastic bags, I bring my old bag instead of grabbing another one. Same with after use, if street corners have plenty of bins, then the streets won't be so littered. If plastic is properly collected...

    I think booster is important but should not be compulsory.

    the bottom line is this: we have a lot more fully vaccinated people than covid cases. Vaccination is not benign but a lot better way to create an immune response than natural infection.
