Not even a cold since I wa a kid ....30 yrs no flu or colds 


I recall you telling me about your Herpes affliction, so good try, you Silly Sally!and FWIW; i harbour no ill will toward anyone has, had STD's, STI's or HIV
I have, nor have never had, any one of the above.
I just had strep, and tonsilitis many times in HS (still have my tonsils).
These days, I guess, because I had, well, EVERYthing, as a kid, my body, is well, ef that, we good, bud, you paid your dues, and we be anti bodies GALORE
But ya, I'm very MUCH pro vaccinations early![]()
lmao, I'm neurotic to the point of.....uh, wait, cool beans n all, sure you can share my straw (surreptitiously tosses straw)...whups, weird, how'd THAT happen?I recall you telling me about your Herpes affliction, so good try, you Silly Sally!
The vaccine has saved so many lives, has enabled us to open up and have our lives restored...yet people are still doing it down
But the vaccines that have ‘been around for decades’ weren’t always around for decades. They were ‘new’ and historically untested at one point too.Some believe this unknown virus of unspecified origin was just a 'test run' anyway, to see how populations can be manipulated and coerced, how attitudes and opposing views could be curtailed, and that future outbreaks are something we should all get used to.
Was it not Fauci who'd stated that mask impositions were used as a form of control over people? Either way, I hope he recovers swiftly from his bout of Covid, Godspeed ?
And lest we forget the Austrian government's appalling subjugation of its citizens, testing and probing with their threats, you can almost guarantee that their sudden U-turn wasn't because of an onset of guilt or morally 'doing the right thing', its reasons more than likely money-oriented or political.
And vaccinating children using the vaccines in their current state, without the hindsight of long-term potential effects etc, should be an instant no-no, unlike vaccines that have been around for decades for other ailments, where parents can make informed choices.
Yes, vaccines had a starting point and were untested, up until the point they were rigorously trialled over years I'd imagineBut the vaccines that have ‘been around for decades’ weren’t always around for decades. They were ‘new’ and historically untested at one point too.
It’s also pertinent to point out that mRNA vaccine technology HAS been around for decades.
For what it’s worth I don’t necessarily think there’s much point to vaccinating young children against COVID either. However, I can counter this by saying I’m no health professional…so I can’t really make claims that have more weight than the professionals.

Some people should take a look at the research being published on COVID surrounding the devastating effects
if you can't google the simple facts of something you're professing to know something about
Yes especially on twitter you open yourself up to some wicked, troll like people, out to inflict further pain on a victim given the slimmest opportunity.That is a poignant, mournful capture and pretty sad to see. I'm not even sure I'd share that on the Socials though, given people's penchant for cynicism and doubt. They're just as likely to say the causes aren't definitely linked to this, and that this doesn't prove anything (or worse - of course)
One of the problems with 'natural immunity' is that you have to get infected first before the immune system can respond by producing antibodies. If you are unlucky enough to be exposed in the future, the immune system recognises the illness, and produces antibodies that usually prevent another infection. In fact, it is possible to develop life-long immunity from an infection, but that depends very much on the illness contracted.Is that true? I'm asking because I was under the impression the data suggested natural immunity would have reaped similar rewards.
Isn't the efficacy of the vaccines what many are questioning, and the lack of data to support their benefits. I only ask because maybe I am living in a bubble, feeding off my limited sources of news.
I agree wholeheartedly.It's just wrought financial devastation that'll take years to recover from, just as we'd slowly seen the green shoots of recovery post-2008....
And what with Interest Rates climbing another quarter percent, and seemingly no one wanting to adopt full-time work anymore, employers can't even fill vacancies, as everyone sees out their days based on customized lifestyle modifications ?
I just sense we'll see more of these occurrences, and a long road ahead of austerity, a workshy economy and disruptions aplenty...
Imo the 'natural immunity' route started making alot of sense for people under 50 when the Omicron variant outcompeted the other variants.One of the problems with 'natural immunity' is that you have to get infected first before the immune system can respond by producing antibodies.

In the case of COVID-19, current research does not show 'natural immunity' being a lifelong safeguard, but this is still under investigation.
Also, due to the nature of COVID-19, serious health issues can result from the infection, and again, it is not currently known how natural immunity, given its potentially short shelf-life, will react.
Mr Yellowstone Bear, I didn't want to get involved in a vaccine vs natural immunity argument. All I was providing - or attempting to - were some facts about natural immunity, how it works, and what researchers are beginning to discover about its "shelf-life".My biggest issue with the vaccine...

people can think what they want but so far 41 people have died from getting the Astrazeneca vaccine while 6.3 million people have died from Covid 19. The story about the child going to his father's funeral shortly after the Astrazeneca vaccine is sad but so is this and there are many more storiesYou do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.
spoke too soon didn't I, lol. came on with a big headache and hot n cold shivers for half the evening. didn't help that I'd barely slept in 3 days prior though tbqh lol. didnt stop me punting away till 5am either like a boss.Person Im in constant close contact with and share a house with got a sore throat n cough for past 2 days, tested positive twice since. They have had 2 shots but not in over 9 months since they decided to not continue with those.
I expected to feel something by now considering we are close 24/7 and this isnt a big house, being not vaccinaterered and all, but I just can't get it.
Having been in a house with bonanza running at the same time as CV-19, i know which was the biggest challenge to overcome.spoke too soon didn't I, lol. came on with a big headache and hot n cold shivers for half the evening. didn't help that I'd barely slept in 3 days prior though tbqh lol. didnt stop me punting away till 5am either like a boss.
Exact same symptons as my brother down south had recently, though he injects himself with the mystery fluid due to having got a job with nhs just when covid begun.
feek ok today though.

Where does the '41' figure come from if you don't mind me asking?
I think most places stopped using the AZ, certainly for the demographic groups who seemed at risk of these fatal clots.
The point is not just to settle for anything (death from an illness is different from death due to a medicine) actually have some good benchmarks the vaccine must surpass for safety, effectiveness etc... Probably the flu vaccine's overall performance is what you'd want to match at least, and they've been around donkey's years.
the 41 figure comes from google and i realize how flawed it is but it's the only number i could find....even if the numbers were a thousand times higher than this (which i very highly doubt it but let's assume that's the case we're still talking 41 thousand deaths versus millions).Where does the '41' figure come from if you don't mind me asking?

"Flu viruses are constantly mutating, so the vaccine is updated annually based on researchers' best guess of which virus strains will be circulating among people in a given season."
"Several flu viruses are circulating all the time, which is why people may still get the flu despite being vaccinated since the vaccine is specific to one strain."
Source: World Health Organisation
Best guess, eh? So in effect, the flu vaccine we received this year is not the same as the flu vaccine from last year, or the year before, or even the year before that, and doesn't necessarily prevent infection after being vaccinated.
Sounds suspiciously similar to people still getting COVID after being vaccinated, due to the different mutations, such as Delta, Omicron, etc.
BUT, although vaccines are rigorously tested before release, there have been some horrendous incidences of newly released vaccines causing major health issues.
The “Cutter Incident” (1955): The Salk polio vaccine produced by Cutter laboratories actually contained the live poliovirus, resulting in permanent paralysis, even deaths, among not only vaccinated individuals, but also close contacts.
Swine Flu (1976): The large scale vaccinations in the USA resulted resulted in a high number of Guillain-Barré syndrome cases. Although now reportedly the only negative reaction to flu vaccine, and occurring so rarely as to be negligible, rigorous monitoring of the Flu vaccine for this potentially fatal disease is undertaken very year.
Source: National Library of medicine.
As a direct result from both of these incidents, the FDA "now requires extensive testing to evaluate the safety and efficacy of vaccines prior to licensure. After licensure, FDA requires ongoing lot-release testing and manufacturing facility inspections. Additionally, manufacturers are required to conduct post-licensure safety monitoring for their products and report to the FDA."
Source: National Library of Medicine.
So onto the most important question of all, and one which @mack341 rightly has major concerns about. Will all the recently developed COVID vaccines prove to be another Cutter/Swine Flu incident, or have the rigorous development measures taken been enough to ensure vaccine safety?
"Because of the high volume of use, coincidental adverse events including deaths, that are temporally associated with vaccination, do occur. When death occurs shortly following vaccination, loved ones and others might naturally question whether it was related to vaccination."
Source: World Health Organisation
Many instances of the COVID vaccine causing deaths are reported to VAERS, which is then taken as gospel by many people. However, "VAERS is a voluntary reporting system which accepts any submitted report of an adverse event without judging its clinical significance or whether it was caused by a vaccination."
Source: World Health Organisation.
To summarise: Is there really a major issue with the COVID vaccines that is steadily being exposed? Or are most cases due to misunderstanding the VAERS database? Or even - as stated by WHO - a natural tendency to associate deaths immediately after a vaccine to the vaccine itself?
Regrettably, at this point in time, it is impossible to make an informed judgement one way or another. In a few more years, when more information is available, there might prove to be a "Long Vaccine" issue alongside the "Long COVID" issue. Or not.
All any of us can do is to act according to our beliefs. And hopefully, we will all live to tell the tale.
EDIT: Appears as if I am steadily taking over VWM's role in producing wordy (rappinghood) posts.
Being lazy, so I am not going to check for exact figures from the WHO, but I recall it being less than 1 death per x million vaccines, if even that.I was going to add provided the strain is a good match but the overall point wouldn't change, I don't think there has been more than a few fatal reactions to the flu jab over 3 decades, since the vaers came in - I could be wrong there but sure I read that somewhere.
About time smoking was good for something. Other than the Marlborough Man, of course. Ooh err missus.My gutt tells me smoking (don't do it kids) might protect the lungs from covid...

Oh believe me, the flu is HORRENDOUS. I’ve had it twice, once in Feb 2007 and again in Sept 2009 (swine flu).Being lazy, so I am not going to check for exact figures from the WHO, but I recall it being less than 1 death per x million vaccines, if even that.
Apparently, it is far more likely to actually die from the Flu than it is from the Flu vaccine, as the Flu can still cause high death rates in many countries. Must admit, I was quite surprised to read that, probably because I have always assumed the Flu to be no more than sniffles, aching bones and a bit of a temperature..
They told you the 3 jabs (not a vaccine) would stop you catching and stop the spread of the "killer pandemic" all 100% disinfomation, so when are they all arrested?
..and yet they now want babies and 5 year olds etc jabbed?!?!?!?! yet they know of side effects too...
these WEF leaders are the biggest criminals in history and the covid farce is the biggest transfer of wealth with that just the first chapter, now fuel and energy...food shortage and power cuts to come next, all planned of course.
oh yes and I never had one jab, got "covid" just like usual cold/flu yet I see the millions saying thank god i got the jabs or i would have been dead....haha gullible idiots.

They did in spring 2021, certainly the US President Biden, the cdc lady iirc, tv presenters etc.. They are not saying it now obviouslyI don't think anybody said that the vaccines would stop you getting Covid. It was always said that it hopes to reduce the effects of it
Interesting article, that "may" explain the reason that vaccinated people tend to catch covid more than the unjabbed.

In my circle of family and friends (30), every single person jabbed has had covid at least once(all 20), most twice(14), two have had it 3 times and one four times.
Those not jabbed (10) have either had covid once (6), or not had it at all (4).
And those who declined the jab, I can with certainty say also ignored social distancing/LD rules way more than those jabbed.
This article sort of saying similar, and if they are correct it doesnt look good to me.

Im not saying they are correct, but they are worthy of discussion by our country's health experts and journalists, but they seem to dismiss and ignore anything unfavourable about the jabs, and scream "disinformation" "antivaxxer"

Depends on whether it is a "live" vaccine or an inactivated one.IMO Big pharma prefers the 'subscription model', much more profitable if the 'protection' has to be obtained every 6-12 months, perhaps it was impossible for them to create a 1 jab lifetime immunity but I doubt they'd be looking hard in that direction in the first place from a profitability/business point of view
omfg its exactly what they said! from Biden to Boris, Macron to Trudeaux, all the build back better WEF bullshitters, changed their tune months after when obv people were seeing it was rubbish, to you wont get the effects as bad, hahah thats not a vaccine!I don't think anybody said that the vaccines would stop you getting Covid. It was always said that it hopes to reduce the effects of it
This was a new virus and people were learning as we went....and are still learning to this day as it mutates and as we learn more about long covid. I wouldn't be shocked if we learned something new in 5 year's time but hopefully by then people won't care because it's impact will be negligibleI remember the initial Covid response by our graph-peddling experts and leaders, where the message was most certainly one of "One and you're done", whereby people could have it administered and live life to the fullest.
I think a lot of people went under that premise and soon realized that that was indeed not the case. There's also a large contingent that'd had the initial shot and booster and decided that's where to draw the line, never mind the appointments pencilled in for future 'boosters'
