My school only ever sent me home once, but it was final. Fussy gits, what's wrong with smoking in the corridors when walking between lessons? Still, it enabled me to start working full time just as I reached 14 so I was able to do my 38 year ration of work and retire in my early 50s, so a...

Finally making some progress on the outstanding vaccines. Just received the 'flu vaccine on the spot at a pharmacy not listed on th NHS site as doing it. Crazy situation, as reported before, many of those listed are either not doing them of have extended waiting lists for appointments. And...

Partially and selectively quoting giving no idea of context is extremely bad mannered, especially when it is so easily avoided by giving a link to the post in question. Criticism of that behaviour is wholly justified. .

Of course it isn't, one only has to look at the way you use partial quotes, even to the extent of cutting off mid sentence to hide the context. Hardly good internet manners, having more in common with social media of the Twitter and What's App kind. Nigel only has to glance at the thread in...

Guerney is deliberately misleading you with partial quotes and insinuations. The are almost no anti-vaxxers in the covid discussion thread he mentions. Every one of us constructively active in the discussion has had first and second vaccinations at least and those who can have had the...

Yes there is much of what you posted I agree with. The ambiguity you note is represented by your paragraph 3 which I do not agree with for a number of reasons. Chief is the huge discrepancy between London (17%) and the rest of England. London after the initial big hit followed with a rapid...

Indeed, but it can be turned to our advantage. As I've posted the current policy is vaccines but no lockdown and I support that, and Danidl indicates he approves too. We know that the natural immunity from infection is at least as effective as the immunity from the vaccines. So that policy...

You do amuse me sometimes, that is exactly what I've been posting ! Preferably everybody accept the vaccines and whether accepted or not, take the hit if infected, i.e. letting it rip as you expressed it. As I posted, this with no lockdown is now the UK government's policy too and I think it...

You can't say that, simply because there were no vaccines in the first year of 2020 and it took many months of 2021 to get two jabs into a large number of arms. The ratio of protaction between the two is far more balanced than you seem to think. You are also discounting how dangerous the...

I've never contested the benefits of the vaccines in reducing deaths and serious Covid illness, which is why I've had them myself and repeatedly posted that everyone should. The problem in here is the stubborn refusal to accept that natural immunity from prior infection is at least as effective...

Misuse of data again, quoting just one particular week when the national rates have been increasing rapidly. The vaccines have made no difference whatsover to the death rates, which are identical for without vaccines for 11 months and with vaccines for 11 months. That's the end result at...

To be truly effective in cleaning up the House of Commons, they'd need to be psychiatrists. .

I haven't ignored it Danidl, and I certainly haven't continued to ignore it since I've acknowledged it in various posts. The ignoring that's been going on is yours in ducking and diving intead of acknowledging the truth of what I've been posting about the proven efficacy of prior infection...

That's exactly what I did do, spelling out the advantages of them, despite the shortfalls. I completely disagree on your conclusions if we didn't have the vaccines. After all we didn't have them in 2020 which include the initial surge and the Alpha surge and we ended that on December 31st with...

You aren't paying attention! ;) I was speaking of London's example, where we did mitigate the infections and consequences, thanks to getting the earliest natural immunity from infection. This dramatically reduced our consequences from the Alpha and Delta waves. And since we are speaking of...

I have never done that and it's wrong of you to imply it. Below is my March 8th post which started this discussion, note the three highlighted sections, and remember that only yesterday I was still saying we should all use the vaccines: "I don't need to argue about the vaccines potential...

All of which I'm fully aware of, some of which I posted long before you. But much of it is common to London so doesn't in any way alter what I posted about our performance which is now officially recognised to be far better than expected. As I've already posted the true measure of performance...

Bulb are a great supplier, the best in almost every respect, so I'm glad the government has come up with this rescue package as I predicted they would. I just hope that if and when anyone buys them from the receiver that they maintain the Bulb ethics and methods so I can continue to benefit...

You just aren't getting it, despite clear explanation. Once again. Yes we in London suffered more from the early hit, but as the official data clearly shows, it paid off with far lower infection and death rates during the later Alpha (Kent) wave and Delta wave. That's why the expert's...

I don't accept that. London's better current outcomes with very low vaccination rates have largely been from infection gained immunity. Overall from beginning to the present of the pandemic, Londons Covid death rates are the same as the rest of the country. Given that we had a near two month...
