At the end of the day, I get irritated by some comments on here.

I have mentioned health issues.

To be blunt, Ive come through chemo and radiotherapy to full cancer surgery.

I want to feel safe, I will continue to wear a mask at public places/work and continue to exile myself from football matches.

I will miss my first final since birth in 62.

 

I see it as I go about, sanitizers ignored, nothing learned.

Exactly correct I am also a cancer survivor I took some pre cancer preventions and ignored others, I feel the same about Covid and masks some things are easy to do some things masks e.g a nuisance, but if it helps protect self and others what the hell, right, do it. Cancer yes stop smoking, I do I get colon cancer, lungs are fine, sometime in life I see we get what is planned, but it is no trouble to take some preventive actions.

I was at the hospital on Monday for yearly check up . I was speaking to my consultant and she was saying things are almost back to normal with the NHS. I did notice in the waiting room it was  " standing room only".  

 

I asked her about masks in hospital and she said she assumed they still have to wear them but there has been no diktat that they have to still wear them. 

 

She also reminded me that because Im immune suppressed ( meds and disease) then I and any others are entitled to certain drugs if I get covid again which are almost emergency drugs you can get within the first few days or having the virus again. I didn't know that. 

 

It was good to see the waiting room busy and actually seeing the consultant face to face after 3 years.  

My Mrs still has to wear a face cover at her hospital job" forth valley". You would think all hospitals would have the same criteria.

When I tested positive for Covid, it was like the sniffles.

A few weeks ago I had the cold and I was floored for 3 days.

 

Coincidence, or down to the vaccine doing its job?

Lowered immune systems due to these so called vaccines is a reality for some. I remember when they said the vaccines will stop you getting covid, It wasn't that long ago but the bullshit narrative has changed and all the people needlessly dead or injured for the sniffles are considered negligible and not news worthy.

You've a better memory than me, as I can't remember ever hearing that the vaccines would stop you catching covid, I do seem to recall hearing in the very early days that they were hoping that the vaccines would prevent onwards transmission or at least cut the rate down, but they wouldn't know for sure until more test results came in.

I do recall them stating that the vaccines would help against serious illness from covid, in most cases.

Comments which were shown to be inaccurate within minutes of Biden saying them.

 

Facts First: Biden's second claim -- that vaccinated people are "not likely to get sick" -- was accurate. But the blanket promises in his first and third comments -- that vaccinated people are simply "not going to be hospitalized," "not going to die" and, even with the very contagious Delta variant, "not going to get Covid" -- were inaccurate.

Covid-19 vaccines are highly effective, and they sharply reduce the likelihood of infection, serious illness and death. However, contrary to Biden's categorical declarations, they do not guarantee that people will not get the virus or will not be hospitalized or die. Even vaccinated people on Biden's own staff have been infected. So have a senior aide to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, multiple Democratic state legislators from Texas who have been in Washington, DC, this month; and various other high-profile people.

 

 

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention does not endorse the definitive language Biden did. The CDC notes on its website that "vaccine breakthrough cases will occur, even though the vaccines are working as expected" and "there will be a small percentage of fully vaccinated people who still get sick, are hospitalized or die from Covid-19."

The example given was because you couldn't recall it being said, not for factual information regarding the vaccines. Many many more are quoted saying the same message.

Lots of people can say or claim what they like, but the only people who really matter or know for sure are the scientists who developed the vaccines, and as far as I'm aware, none of them have claimed the vaccine would prevent you from catching covid.

If they have, I've never heard it.

One person at the top, in a different country, who contradicted himself by later adding in the same speech that if you do catch it, it'll stop you getting seriously ill. He misspoke.

I'm not pretending f all, Fauci,the cdc(who has hundreds of unvaxxed workers 🤔) also claimed this, that's all I'm saying, it was said and I proved this to someone that can't recall it being said. That's it, done, find an argument somewhere else.

Yeah she’s got a lot wrong over the last two years, predictions that haven’t planned out or shifting beliefs. 
 

To me it shows it is a lot easier to be on the outside giving advice than be answerable to a party and electorate.

I think it's fair to say it's been tested by those with the cognitive ability to make a rational risk assesment.  

Seems the scaredy cats need to fall back on conspiracy bullshit and distortions of statements to disguise their lack of cojones.

Still failing miserably to find it.

 

Funnily enough, my wife and I were chatting yesterday that now that April was out of the way (son's 18th, our anniversary, Easter etc), that this was now the time to get it. The last thing we want is for Covid to interrupt my youngest son's final exams at the end of the year and prior to our big trip at the end of the year.

Maybe just not to be, don't know the current guidelines where you are but hopefully now just treated as any other flu like virus and not too disruptive to your life.
