Slarti Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 2nd jab coming next week. Can't wait. Get that AZ or Pfizery goodness inside me now. Hope the microchip they inject into me reboots faster than the one they gave me with the first jab. The internet signal was a nightmare. No facebook, no twitter.... Get it sorted Bill. We all owe a huge debt of gratitude to the brilliant scientists across the world who created these vaccines so quickly and essentially ended serious illness and deaths amongst those who have had their jabs. That has been the greatest achievement since the discovery of penicillin.Getting mine tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vaccine will reduce your chances of contracting the disease ad might reduce your symptoms should you catch COVID 19 By no stretch of the imagination will the vaccine "end serious illness" amongst the vaccinated, nor will it end deaths a quick look at what Chile has suffered should relieve you of that notion Ask a scientist, if you know one, who can explain the way it REALLY works to you., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why cases spiked rapidly. The vaccine will not end serious illness and death but it will absolutely reduce it to levels that are completely negligible, particularly among vulnerable groups whose chances of dying of covid increased exponentially.

Unbelievable levels of fear porn going on. Everything I've read suggests vaccine are just as effective against this variant but I've seen many folk online today trying to push Indian variant as vaccine-escaping which is absolute lies. The Scottish government have completely shit the bed with what's gone on today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fed up hearing about the scaremongering about "variants" which have had, as far as I'm aware, minimal effect, despite the media punting at at every turn. The over cautious approach by wee Nicky, much applauded by her followers, has cost us many jobs and severely dented the economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And bringing up Chile. FFS. I notice you didn't bring up Israel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had the Kent variant, the South African one and now the Indian variant, all supposedly more tranmissable - but not more deadly it would seem. I am not a conspiracy theorist, but i do believe one of the consequences of the pandemic is that it has allowed governments to see how fear can be used to control the population. Expect much more of this, either related to Covid or something else, in the years to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly shitting the bed when an epidemiologist has this warning "This is what early exponential rises look like and we're seeing loss of control of the pandemic in many parts of Scotland, and the situation is likely much wider and other places will follow unless action is taken to actually prevent this and pre-empt this now."

Brilliant, another expert. More scaremongering shite IMO. What action, exactly should be taken, when we're close to vaccinated levels that will almost nullify any real affect of this "loss of control"? Since it's not the first "expert" to talk utter shite I'll stick with my view the SNP have shit the bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
