    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Given that the Kent variant was both more infectious and, we now read, more likely to cause hospitalisation and death, we need to factor that into the equation. The death rate could worsen very significantly due to further/different variations. If any vaccine provides at least some protection...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I carefully avoided any indication of approval or disapproval of some form of certificate re Covid! Just kept to the technical issues. :)

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    There is plenty to indicate that a woman taking a contraceptive pill (or HRT) and flying multiple times (whether on holiday or for work) has a massively higher likelihood of a blood clot. (Albeit, more often not this specific brain clot issue.) "They found that women who had taken HRT tablets...

    Wholly inadequate security. Almost anyone could produce them by the thousand as a reasonable facsimile. And nothing to link the card to the person holding it.

    No - they are an island... Ah, that didn't go right! :)

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Maybe. But I suggest that the establishments' insurers might have something to say. If the establishment chose to allow non-holders of vaccination (etc.) passports to enter, the establishment might appear liable for any who get infected while there. Even if the likelihood of proof emerging is...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I note this comment: The green pass, launched last month and eyed as a potential strategy by countries such as Britain, has been credited with helping motivate unvaccinated Israelis to get the jab. At the Jerusalem arena, Avishag Buskila, 26, said the app was why she finally decided to do so...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yesterday, I found out that a medical blood analysing company, Eurofins County Pathology, has had its UKAS accreditation suspend - which means it can no longer operate. I then went on to look further and found this article in the very questionable (we'll print whatever you pay us to)...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    In practical terms, I think I would print out the information - ensuring you include all the official bits like logos - and take that with me. Mind, would a UK police person recognise that extension if you popped up north? Sure, they are more likely to have come across the issue before. But...

    No - just a patient. Everything I know - have learned - has been because of the inadequacy of the medical systems of the country and the world.

    I have reported issues with medicines - tablets that crumbled. And would have reported any surprise reactions to vaccination even if not serious. It doesn't take much effort.

    Precisely what Wockhardt have been doing for AV at Wrecsam. Perhaps we should refuse to export any to England...? :) Clearly the Johnson remark is knowing - totally aware of the resonance of BC.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    My side effects were a strange feeling that I was falling - even when seated. Very slight. Probably what you refer to as "giddy". A mild headache which a couple of paracetamol resolved. (So mild, I wouldn't have worried if there hadn't been any lying around.) And, a week or so later, a very...

    The DailyExpose says: Not at all clear about that statement. Might be true had they said "historically, only about 1% of adverse events are reported". But, a) how do they know it is 1% in this context?; b) only the extremely poorly informed don't know of the Yellow card system - people who...
