    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I agree you haven't, but I disagree it necessarily blocks the hospitals, we aren't seeing that here but the North with the 90%+ vaccines approach is, again illustrating vaccine ineffectiveness. The real problem is of course is the appalling under provision of hospital and ICU beds in Britain...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Exactly the point I've been making for ages, as our position illustrates very clearly. But if Spiegelhalter and I are right that infection is as good as vaccination and the evidence says it is, the clear inference is that the vaccines are unnecessary for about 97% of the population who don't...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Fully agreed, I wouldn't dream of contradicting you on your own area's outcomes. And as you say, the major effect of the vaccines is in the mitigation of symptoms. But as Spiegelhalter has now admitted and I've been saying ever since the early months of this year, being infected with...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    There you go again with the superiority complex. I'm not misinterpreting or misunderstanding, you are. See below. That is what I posted !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Turn the binoculars around, our North versus London shows precisely to opposite, how ineffective the vaccines are: North, very...

    The extreme ratio of height to width gives them no chance against gusts, probably why they've never caught on. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Back again with that argument, it isn't true, not for here, not for London as a whole. The testing has been very much in the face and being thrust upon people. Anyway my area and the whole of South Croydon is affluent so not being able to afford doesn't come into it. In any case the fact...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    My area of London with our exceptionally low vaccination rates and very low infection and death rates shows that to be true, maybe more then true. I've been saying it for nearly two years now. The vaccines aren't remotely as good as they are hyped up to be. .

    I know the problems from when I was working n the Vespas in the 1950s. I would never have bought one, preferring the slighly later Lambretta. The only scooter I ever bought was a Rumi Formichino twin cylinder 125:

    Nor had Google for the image below, they served up images of Israel ! I'd need an MV Agusta F4 1000R to outrun Asrael:

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I ordered a taxi to go to my first Covid jab, but was let down for the return. The local services all replied no cabs for at least two hours, so it was back to the tram and bus, both with waits and it was pouring with rain and cold so pneumonia was added to the list of risks. I sometimes think...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I have a similar double quandary now. I should have my usual flu jab asap, already overdue my usual time for one. And in 7 days time I reach the six months since my second Covid jab so should get a notification for a booster. But both can only be obtained at the main health centre where...

    He is youngish one. However I'm not chasing it for the simple reason the most certain way to get seriously ill with Covid here is by admission to Croydon University Hospital for anything. .

    Exactly, How? For a long time I avoided it myself since the animal tissue replacement valves like the one my brother received can be short lived, as little as 6 years. Since I was able to manage my problems quite well I was relying on that to extend the years before surgery. However in 2019...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    How come I haven't got one of them, is the NHS cheating me? I've got a Doctor but he went into hiding when Covid started. He even obeyed the 2019 stricture to stop referrals to consultants, which is why I've never been able to see a cardiac specialist. I've been told I have a nurse moving...

    Possibly, but the bulk of our vaccine was the AZ which is at last being acknowledged as inferior in various ways. Our masking levels are still quite high which is obviously a factor in our success, but there are other factors which I'll post on separately when I have a chance. .

    Hopelessly inaccurate. You've picked up a ONE DAY point when the whole borough had very slightly over the national figure which isn't even relevant anyway. Croydon is a huge borough, London's largest, stretching vertically well into inner London, and as stated I've consistently quoted my...

    Yes, I forecast exactly this outcome last year, but not tears, since being hit so hard very early has turned out to be a great benefit. The early Covid-19 was much less harmful than today's variants, despite no vaccines then. .
