Just so we're clear, where exactly are we calling 'the waist'.... :rolleyes: :whistle:

According to BMI, I've been 'obese' for most of my adult life, even when I had a 32" waist (which was admittedly a while ago). Mrs NeilO was obese when I met her too, despite being as fit as a butcher's dog from riding horses for a living, and with more of a 6 pack than I could ever have (that was a while ago too🤫).
Just above the belly button near the last rib.

If you have a belly it doesn't migrate south but is hiding underneath.

I had a flu vaccination today, for the first time in my life. I was flagged in to the side of the road by the local Doctor’s surgery and a lady on the passenger side asked me my name and date of birth. When I looked round there was a Doctor stood at my driver’s window with a loaded syringe, telling me to pull up my sleeve. All done within a minute or so, without even stopping the car, and using a sharp needle too!

I wouldn’t have minded, but I’d only popped up to the Spar for a loaf of bread (Boom, boom).

Seriously though, I was most impressed with the efficiency of the job (especially from our local surgery), and can only assume it was being done as a trial run for ‘the big one’.👍

No, I wasn’t going to bother, particularly if it meant sitting in a waiting room with a mask on and wasting half a morning. Mrs NeilO had accepted her invite and came back to tell me how (surprisingly) efficient they had been. I just turned up and gave my details.

It could only have been made more efficient by running people down a race.

I must say our local surgery, had a session about 4 weeks ago which I applied for. This was inside the doors and I was very alarmed as I had been given a 10 am time and as I turned up at least a dozen more were doing the same, my heart sank with an image of other years, a waiting room full of coughing people kids running around etc. But no incredibly efficient, doors were wide open masked young lady checked off my name , indicated sanitiser, pointed me across the waiting area to one of three doctors spaced 15-20 feet apart. He indicated to me to rollup sleeve wham bang and I Was out the back door having hardly broken step.

A young lady in our village who has had a heart condition since birth has received a letter from the local hospital advising her to get a flu jab. She phoned the local surgery and they refused to give her one. I assume that she is on the priority list for a shot of covid but the want to make sure that she has a flu jab well in advance. There does not seem to be much joined up thinking in the NHS sometimes.
I don`t know why the local surgery refused or whether they were ever questioned but it seems an odd state of affairs. Of course if she is on a priority list for covid she should have been on a priority list for flu and should have received notification and attended in the first place.

Do you need a doctor to give a flu jab?
I did get one whilst at my local doctors one year but my last one was at a pharmacy - just passing and decided I needed one.
Used to get them free when I worked for Fonterra, you could book them but the nurses that did it also just turned up in the smoko room and just asked if anyone wanted one.
All very simple I thought.

The tricky bit may actually be letting people prove they have had it, if access to some things becomes dependant on it.

Same here , in 2 minds to have it ,but now flu injections opened up to all over 50 years old too.
Took Mum to have hers and they said do you want it as sat in car outside waiting, so had it , as they were going in front door of Surgery, into nurse room for injection and out back door as a rolling walking service.

I reckon they could roll out the jab using livestock markets, up one alley and through the ring, jab and back out down another alley. Thousands could be done in a day and most marts have plenty of free parking and space to social distance!

Have had the flu jab for several years, always like a military operation, very impressive. Only difference this year was they ticked you off before you went in, presumably to stop anyone going in too early and spread us out more within the (large) surgery so never more than 3 people in any one (large) waiting area and also operated a one way system.

Unless your Council not closed and bulldozed your Market, like here at Cowbridge???

I’m not taking it.
I’m with this guy.

I hope he’s wrong, but after 17 years at the helm of Pfizer I’d rather believe him, than any of our regulatory authorities under a political cosh to ‘get it done’.

As Faceache are taking down all his posts, as ‘misinformation’ - this from a highly qualified vaccine developer - what are they afraid of?

I would look at the Imperial and GlacoSmithKline products, as more conventional vaccines, but not this one.
 
What about all the other people Drs scientists researchers bio chemists to name but a few who say it’s safe ! Don’t there opinions count for any thing.
If they’re saying it’s safe I’ll go with them too, plus my own observations of how few people I know who have died, and of those who’ve been tested positive but have had no problem.
