That’s what I like to see. A detailed, reasoned debate on the pros and cons of having the vaccine.I’ll be getting it. The knobs who say they won’t have convinced me it’s a good thing.
The knobs.
I blame Granby and GWS for my current BMI!Well after surviving all the Crap they pumped into us before Gulf 1 (none of it on my med docs) i dont think another dose of Anti whatever is gonna kill me (famous last words)
The thalidomide tragedy of the early 60's highlights the risks and pit falls of not fully testing new drugs. As of date the release of the anti covid vaccine has been unduly rushed through, for several reasons,What worries me is that the gov passed a bill exempting the manufacturers suppliers and their agents from any legal action.
Why do that if you didn't have doubts?
So if it does go tits up you cannot take anyone to court.
Give blood. Get one there.I'll have it too as long as I get an "I've been brave" sticker
Zero Alpha will listen to JVT as if he were God himself, since he was pressed live on air about a question that openly and vehemently accused Cummings of being a James Hunt, and without a blink of an eye, he called Cummings out.Professor JVT is on Five Live now, taking questions from listeners. Worth a listen - he is an impressive boffin imho, although he does bang on a bit!
I watched scientists talking yesterday. The vaccine payload has been produced quickly. But. They've been working on it for years. SARS, MERS and Ebola were all having vaccines developed using this method, but the outbreaks didn't give enough test results to prove the function, and the outbreaks died out before a vaccine could be completed.The thalidomide tragedy of the early 60's highlights the risks and pit falls of not fully testing new drugs.

Here in the US the first to get it will be medical/hospital workers, EMTs and Paramedics.
Next will be emergency workers like police and fire.
Military come next
Then food workers
Next will come people with certain medical conditions and older people. I am 73 so assume I am in that group.
Announced plans do not mention elected officials but I am Damn sure that Congress members and Senators will be at the front of the line. My guess is that members of state legislatures will also get to the front of the line also do they `can better serve the people '
There was a Facebook post which SWMBO showed me. It was a quiz, asking different questions to do with biology. It was clever, in that it made a point about how little many of us know about virology and so on. It ended by saying, "So you say you've done your own research, yet you can't answer questions which can be easily answered by those who've done real research."That’s what I like to see. A detailed, reasoned debate on the pros and cons of having the vaccine.
Give blood. Get one there.
$$$$$$$$...So, the most vulnerable get it last?
makes perfect sense to someone.
I hope you realise my post wasn’t a dig at you. I’m on the same page.There was a Facebook post which SWMBO showed me. It was a quiz, asking different questions to do with biology.

There's the point: 'research' isn't buying the anti-vaxxers rubbish, or the nonsense from the foil-hatters with their "they're injecting you with tracking devices" line.
I'm sad and ashamed of us as a society that people are ignorant enough to think that such as that is wise, or in any way to be taken seriously. More to the point, the 'believers' are smug in their certainty of being so much cleverer than the rest of us.
They're not. They're just knobs.
My post carried as much credence as their research - I'll have it done precisely because they say they won't matches their levels of 'research' and knowledge.
Actually, I'll have it done because I want to get on with some semblance of normality again.
