    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not so in my case, much more so in yours. I simply define things correctly: The primary function of a vaccine is to prevent one catching a disease, not treating it. The Covid vaccines fail in preventing catching the disease but do successfully treat it once caught. That defines them as...

    It was, so I posted about his long absence. But he posted a Funny emogee to that, so it seems he's still around, despite the long absence. In response I asked how he'd found it in the ICU, but he didn't respond so it seems I might have hit a sensitive issue. .

    I'm sure you wouldn't be refused, the Covid vaccine doesn't appear to affect bone health issues: "You can have a COVID vaccine whilst taking any of the osteoporosis medications. The vaccine will be effective and safe for you, and there are no recommendations around having them at different...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Since I first replied quoting your original post, you've added the above very substantial edit, so I quote it to show that it has been read. But once again I have to reply that such evidence from elsewhere isn't relevant, there are too many differences for valid comparisons to be made. That...

    Of course, that is why I've so often included in my posts that everyone should get the vaccine, to stop the anti-vaxxers from quoting me. .

    Definitely get both the Booster and the 'flu vaccine as soon as possible, they won't delay the healing of your wrist. Both can be had together if you find somewhere offering both. And of course you can have the jabs in the other arm from your injury if you wish. The slight soreness from the...

    Empty meaningless words, fluff. Acquired immunity is the natural immunity to an invading disease, Your two uses of full is nonsensical, playing with words. One is either infected or not. The London evidence over both years is strong, emphatic and undeniable. London also shows the risk of...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Update on London's vaccination rates. I showed in a previous post that 35% of Londoners haven't had the two vaccine doses. Now more data shows that almost 29% haven't have any dose at all. In a number of boroughs over 33% haven't had any vaccination at all, Westminster (40 per cent of over...

    Probably out of their desperation to avoid having to impose another lockdown. From the beginning of the pandemic they have governed by wild swings back and forth between the two extremes, seeming unable to appreciate that compromises and moderation have their value. Not least that they are...

    Or not. Neither the Alpha nor Delta variants reduced the natural immunity from the initial infections, so your pessimism may not. Given our national incompetence I'm sure we'll soon be able to practice on the Botswana variant though. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    My one on Monday had lost control of both the appointments and walk-ins. It's sad how things have gone for the 'flu jab and boosters. Early in the year by general agreement the Covid first and second jabs were handled quite well, but for the booster in my area they've completely dismantled...
