UK Gov Dashboard Wonder if alot didnt bother with the 3rd or its because they have to wait for x amount if time before having booster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted April 24, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 24, 2022 (edited) My wife is immuno-suppressed due to taking methotrexate for her rheumatoid arthritis. She recently tried (with doctors' approval) reducing her dose. This didn't go too well, as her joint pain has got a lot worse, and she is planning to get it increased again - but it may have been a blessing in disguise, as her covid symptoms are so far no worse than mine. Ironically, she was scheduled to have her covid booster this week. That will now have to be postponed for a month. Anyway, it looks like we get a week off from grandchild care, so we're hoping the weather stays good enough for some chilling out in the garden.

Tegis Posted April 24, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 24, 2022 Best wishes @mjmooney. Mine was a nice week off with a slight fever, hope you follow the same pattern. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are well over 2 years into this pandemic, nearly 18 months into having a vaccine, and you're STILL asking these questions. How many times do people have to tell you the same thing? Your counter replies are getting boring now. Try replying like @sidcow and it might be worth it I could quote all day long when you have replied like this. I won't be getting my 7 year old vaccinated, anyway, but thanks for your scientific input. Edited April 24, 2022 by foreveryoung Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it SIGNIFICANTLY reduces the chances of you getting it. It doesn’t stop you transmitting it but it significantly reduces the chances of you transmitting it. What part of that are you continuously failing to understand? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok so the part where you’re ignoring the vast wealth of scientific evidence that shows the efficacy of the vaccine and just jumping to your own incorrect conclusion based on circumstantial evidence? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I wonder how many anti-vax people would refuse chemo if they got cancer because it doesn’t guarantee to get rid of the cancer? You know, because they knew someone who had cancer, did the chemo which made them feel ill and they still died. It should be banned on that basis. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 The effect of the vaccine wanes after a few months so it's possible for both sides of the 'debate' to be right. It does reduce transmission for a little while, then it doesn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is refusing the vaccine here. The scientific evidence of the vaccine reducing transmission is very sketchy, especially with the different strains, you need an update to your facts. @Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of lost saltiness / umami, stuff started to taste a bit bland so I was over seasoning but it still didn’t help. Whereas beer thankfully still tasted normal.

And even if it didn’t reduce transmission, which it does, the FACT (and it is a fact) that the vaccine significantly reduces your chances of getting it in the first place would still ultimately result in less transmissions. I’m just assuming you’re posting for effect now because this has been explained dozens of time to you and you still seem to ignore it. Either that or you’re a **** moron, but I don’t think you are Edited April 24, 2022 by Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
