Its a case of how big that risk is. That's an old story, and it has nothing to do with the unscientific tosh you posted about Funeral Undertaker Guy and his apparent expertise in the carrying out of autopsies, or the "military man" with an axe to grind. Everyone knows that there were some reported issues with the AstraZeneca (Vaxzevria) shot back in 2001. It's also well-known that these affected a minuscule percentage of people who got jabs, and that many health authorities modified their vaccine delivery programs in response to the risks, or stopped using Vaxzevria altogether. It's also well-known (or at least quite easy to find out) that Vaxzevria doesn't use the same technology as the Pfizer-BioNTech And Moderna vaccines. Also, the risk profiles of these medicines are well-known, regularly reviewed and discussed by experts (and by that I mean experts in medicine, not experts in polishing coffin handles). They're also available for anyone to see, even (Heaven help us) people who can't really understand the data anyway. So the notion that something is being hidden is just more of the same unscientific, uneducated, unaware, paranoid mumbo jumbo conspiracy waffle we've come to expect from the tinfoil hat sector. Funeral Guy, Embalmer Guy and people like them haven't discovered something all the top medics and researchers out there have missed. Sorry to disappoint anyone, but that's how it is.

But don't forget he was also a poster boy for the anti-vax conspiracy theorists. His academic misconduct was specifically designed to discredit the MMR vaccine, and there is a real possibility that children have died or being disabled because people were fooled by his disgraced and wholly immoral behaviour. It's no surprise that he's still an active anti-vaxxer, and still spreading lies and fear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your neighbours daughter whos a doctor isnt doing any embalming though. All she would do is diagnse cause of death and this issue would show up as a heart attack or stroke. The questions for your neighbours daughter are: - Are you seeing any excess deaths? - Have more people been coming in that are younger with critical issues? If the answer is no on both counts, that would also suggest theres nothing to it. Im simply saying Im willing to entertain the possibility as I can see this being the kind of scandal the Government is very capable of.

This rather alters the impact of the headline figure when people know it includes a lot of things you failed to mention, which will make up a good proportion of reports. The full breakdown is available on the gov.uk yellow reporting website, broken down per vaccine. https://yellowcard.mhra.gov.uk/ At the time the EU paused the vaccine rollout because of stories about the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine and blood clots, it was reported by the MHRA that the probability of developing clots was about 1 in 250,000. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/mhra-issues-new-advice-concluding-a-possible-link-between-covid-19-vaccine-astrazeneca-and-extremely-rare-unlikely-to-occur-blood-clots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddsyJR9 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 5 hours ago, That thing you do said: I am very skeptical, but I dont trust the Government on this after Post Office, Paedophile Rings, Savile. I listen to what people are saying about these clots and my only point is, if its true, our Government would absolutely cover it up. Nothing more. I do know at least one person who did die from clots from the jab. The fact its happening isnt in doubt, its the scale of it that is either "fearmongering" as you say, its exaggerated, or, its under reported. Time will tell which it is. You have to be at it. Paedophile rings, Saville? You've been having nightmares of the Wicker Man film, haven't you? Your pin up girl has to have been wee burney? No doubt.

It's probably not, but it is entirely possible to have had the cold numerous times in that 20 years and suffered no noticeable symptoms on account of a top-notch immune system.

Don't get me wrong when the kids were at school I got everything 🤣 I rarely suffered when I had an outside job for almost 20 years also, but as soon as I went back to school and was sat in lecture theatres and that I was ill regularly. Now I've got young kids I'm rarely not suffering from some malady or other. Wee disease ridden *******s. Is it possible that chemo has left your immune system running at less than optimal even after 8 years? It kicked the shite out of my wee brother, and he's still finding new allergies and that around 5 years after finishing his treatment.

It drained me physically,the chemo injections left me with permanent peripheral neuropathy , but I was back at work four weeks after the stomach operation ,due to they wouldn't pay me. I got my fitness level up, albeit it took just over a year. But never got any sniffles,home cooking, fresh fruit and vegetables plus an active German shepherd kept my stress levels down. Hope your wee brother is ok now,as well as physically draining,it can be mentally horrible, worrying at every ache . A saying I heard often at oncology was,it is what it is, stuck with me. Tell him to enjoy life and don't be a slave,or a survivor to cancer. My thoughts are with him👍🏻👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semi off-grid on a borders estate, unplugged from the rat-race, and marching to the beat of his own drum. Fair enough imo. The last panic came when he was feeling shite again, but it turned out to be lactose intollerance caused by the chemo having reset his system back to factory defaults. Convinced himself that oat milk is great because it makes everything taste like porridge, and all is rosy again. Cracking crop of wee pointy mushrooms round his manor provides an almost daily bonus for much of the year. All the best to you too, bud. At least your sense of humour seems to have emerged unscathed. 👍 Edited February 19 by il Duce McTarkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
