People just want him to get the damn thing.  Nobody giving a shit if he doesn't get the damn thing.

 

The James Paradox,  I am naming this.

I prefer Schrodinger’s James. He simultaneously was and wasn’t dragged kicking and screaming to get his vaccinations.

Ah but we don't know that yet regarding the longer term safety issues of it?   Like many I was under the impression that after taking both vaccines that would be it.  I did  my side of the bargain albeit moaning about it.  I do admit that.  . How many boosters will we get pumped into our bodies ?  I assume a few more until the virus is so weak  its not a threat (that's in my limited " upside/ down thinking " as Victorian described my thinking style so memorably a few months ago. It did make  me laugh though.  😛

 

As long as the vaccine is safe - and all indications are that it carries a tiny fraction of the risk of catching covid - then I don't see the problem.

It might end up being an annual jag like the flu, but people are generally happy enough to take that.

And there will always be folk on Kickback to r̶e̶m̶o̶r̶s̶e̶l̶e̶s̶s̶l̶y̶ ̶r̶i̶p̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶p̶i̶s̶s̶ offer emotional support.

Big thanks to the double vaccinated folk who are also getting the booster.

 

You are MUCH braver than me.

 

If the stats look good in a couple of years I will be joining you👍 

 

Only away games for me and no live boxing for the foreseeable😕

You don't have to brave to get it. It's only a wee jab in the arm that you can't even feel.

I've spent more time on the eternal BLT or all day breakfast struggle.  BLT today.  Probably all day breakfast the morn.

Its hard being the owner of my thinking at  times.  On the one hand the "  risky  rebellious taking a chance " James is thinking.

 

" dont take the  booster vaccine , you have probably had covid and if so You have natural immunity too  "

 

Versus  the less risky James

 

" take the booster as its clearly proven that the vaccines help prevent death and serious illness to a significant degree " 

 

or  the risky James 

 

" why pump more long term meds into my system   may cause serious side effects,  which I have experienced due to other long term meds  i have been on " 

 

Or  the more sensible one of them all 

 

" ffs you  have taken  the flu vaccine every year for the last 20 years get a grip ! 

 

Decisions decisions. Maybe i just overthink

Sandwich of questionable nutritional value filthy talk.  Alas I am limited to the Co-op upon my traverse over the tundra to work (a shop apparently).

Whichever he picks, he’ll deny it a month later anyway.

May need to throw in a Carbon Monoxide detector if you have gas.

Next they will be checking that you have unplugged your TV before you go to bed.

Don’t forget to put the toilet seat down.

He was brilliant in that role.

Yes well when someone mentions politics earlier on it reminded me of a conversation i had had the other day with a friend about this great series so it just kinda like popped into my head...still in a state of shock when he tossed that woman off the top of the building...

I've never had, nor been offered a flu Jag as far as I'm aware.

 

Probably should really take it I guess.

What if I’ve developed a sort of Stockholm Syndrome and want more vaccines?

Maybe I should not have said “ should” as it’s a choice . I was advised to get if years ago due to an underlying health condition they ( health ) said I might be more prone to the flu . Since having that vaccine I’ve never had the flu but then , when I come to think of it I’ve only had the flu once before i started the yearly vaccine . It’s all rather a mind ****

That was my understanding of it but it's also my thoughts on the Covid vaccine and it would appear I'm a minority viewpoint on that. 

 

When the time does come for my booster I think I'll ask for the flu one at the same time. Make it worthwhile going to get them done I guess...two birds one stone and all that.

👍 Hopefully.  I see no reason why everyone already vaccinated will suddenly not be arsed to get a booster.  It should have reasonable take-up.  High hopes for the anti-viral roll out as well.  That sounds like it smashes the link between cases and hospitalisations.  Hopefully it's planned deployment can be widened.

It’s your civic duty to get vaxxed, James. Chief Mammy said so and all her we’ans will call you names and you’ll no’ get invited to her big Irn Bru party if ye dinnae.

When you feel an outsider its easier to bail out ones “ civic duty “ . Also I can’t stand irn bru anyway so it’s hardly a big miss 😎👍😂

I get the flu jab because my mum is in the vulnerable category. Older people tend to not respond to the vaccination as well as younger people so getting it reduces the probability of passing the flu onto someone vulnerable.

I'll keep an eye out. Not sure if it's different down here.

I didn't know the flu vaccine helped reduce passing it on too. Worth doing then imo.

 

Cheers 👍
