Covid jab - is it compulsory?

[Derrick Hughes]

Had my Jab Yesterday, feal crap to be honest but I'm told that's a good thing , shows its working
Paracetamol
I've been told not to take it before , it could compromise the vacine , not that I would, but as anyone heard it can do this if taken the day after, it nums the immune response apparently

More people than ever got Covid now around here???

Anecdotel evidence says the 4th booster is hot stuff , everyone bad for a day , some longer
Did you have Moderna ?

I’ll let you know after tomorrow, but have a number of friends same age, who have all been fine, and our cottage tenant (66) was just saying he had his last week and felt fine .

Like @Kiwi Pete I'm weighing up the options of natural or chemical immunity ... eek

If you're reasonably fit and don't have health concerns, I would go with the choice that can't give you new health concerns.

Natural immunity wanes with lack of exposure, eg if we housed cattle then after 12 weeks they are at more risk of picking stuff up in the environment.
If they're always grazing, they keep getting "prickled by it".

Probably the main risk as farmers is "we don't get out enough" hence the self-isolating social distancing thing suddenly gave our country "an unprecedented flu season" because of our unprecedented lack of close contact, and general wariness. And being told to "think sick" can't help. Or wash ze hands... lots of factors

I work 6 days a week and so my contact level is a lot different to the average farmer around here, who comes in on Friday night, gets his food and beer for the week and disappears .

Either way it's a lot less clear-cut than
Got the jabs = idiot
Didn't get the jabs = idiot

The early findings in Oceania (naive populations) suggested you'd need to vaccinate 119,000 people to save one person dying from c19, which matches studies in more populated nations.

Now that most everyone has been exposed (and most people vaccinated) it may be 250,000 to save one. It's all emergent data.

Joys of being the test subjects -our kids will know the story, or at least part of it.

All we know is that the early indicators give a relative risk reduction of 98.5%?? (some covid cultist will know the figure quoted) but an absolute risk reduction of around 0.84%.

The stories and the actual outcomes are very very distant

Have had a flu jab for the last 4 years + 4 x Covid jabs. Can honestly say I've been unaffected by them all. Thursday just gone was Moderna covid (previous 3 have been have been Pfizer) and flu jab, both in the same arm. Apart from a slightly stiff arm muscle on Fri and Sat, I feel no different

 

[Pan mixer]

Had the 4th jab the other day, was not brilliant the next day on the 1st 3 but this one - nothing but a sore arm.

 

[Wombat]

Had mine Sat and no issues at all, other than the usual nhs where they call me in and then say we are not sure your health issue qualified you for the jab. Well you called me so surely you know if it does or not, in the end after much umming and arring they decided it did.

 

[DRC]

Had both Covid and flu jabs yesterday morning and have felt fine since .

 

[ollie989898]

It is very weird. I had 2 goes of Pfizer, felt rough after the second as the lady said it would. Had moderna I think the third time and felt nothing.

Had my 4th on Wednesday.

Felt a bit headachey after 3-4 hrs, one Paracetomol and fine after. It was probably psychosomatic...
