Covid a still very much with us

[melted welly]

Why do people go with the 'had x amount, don't need any more'. Different vaccines give different levels of protection even without evolution of new strains. Some are a one-off primary course only, others need annual or more often boosting.

We vaccinate our cattle for lepto and IBR annually, not 'oh won't bother any more'.

Old man was hospitalised for best part of a fortnight the day after after having his winter booster. Had a dangerously low platelet count. Was picked up on routine blood check, told to attend hospital immediately. Wouldn’t have known otherwise. Told twice it seemed to be a side effect of the booster on some people, then latterly they decided they weren’t sure what caused it.

2 transfusions later, multiple intrusive examinations including bone marrow and he seems back in check.

He also had a TIA after his booster in winter 2022, collapsing on Xmas Eve. Once is coincidence, twice isn’t.

I’ve got a wife and 2 little boys depending on me, I figure I don’t mix with a lot of people, none of us are vulnerable so I’d sooner take my chance with getting covid.

It's midwinter, people get colds and flu.

It's midwinter, people get colds and flu.

According to one news article today,main symptoms are now a runny nose and a cough. No temperature,no loss of smell etc. So that's a cold then

I read somewhere that half the people that think they have a cold will actually find it’s Covid.

But you don't vaccinate 3 times in the same year with the same stuff

I'll be vaccinating my April 2023 born ewe hoggs for the third time next month. After that they will be on annual boosters for as long as they live.

Haven't bothered testing but. Tiredness. Coughing especially when lying down. Blocked ears so head feels wooly and balance is shite. Came on Monday pm. Went to work yesterday but felt so spaced out I came home again. Plenty of work to do but nothing desperate so will start again Monday. Was on a plane last Friday so guess it came from there, however wife was sitting next to me and is fine

Sounds like you have it, all the symptoms I’ve had, only now feeling 80% after 6 weeks ( but I was only just clearing a chest infection before I got it ) 🫣

no one gets vaccinated 3x per year, it's twice other than the initial primary dose.

That is a decision based on an assessment of relative risk, not 'I don't bother any more'.

The deaths abover normal for middle age has stpped me getting any shots, ive only had the 3 and will not get anymore, i caught it a few months back, cold ok but got fatigue took zinc powder and that went away.

Countries with high vaccination rates mostly have high excess deaths, we are at 12% and id say that figure is fiddled with given the corruption in the medical game.

Ant...
