Are these boosters needed after such a short time? I have never had more than one jab of any of the above apart from Tetanus and have never been told I needed one. With my wife having underlying conditions the effectiveness of the Covid vaccine scares the hell out of me even vaccinated she dare not go anywhere and I still keep social distancing and wear a mask! We were led to believe in the UK once everyone got vaccinated we would be ok instead they are predicting a further 60,000 deaths this winter, no end in sight!

Here's a video that explains boosters better than I can.



Just note it is 7 months old so some of the Covid info is slightly outdated.
 
@Timwis

Do you think the social behavior of the UK has anything to do with the continued and rise of the infections. Did they allow the social distancing and covid protocols to relax too early.

There is also the issue of variants and super spreader events like footie matches.

My point is the Vaccine is not very effective, nearly all the UK is vaccinated so you may be right but my point is if the vaccine was any good a vaccinated population should be able to go to footie matches etc, A vaccine that doesn't stop you catching it, doesn't stop you spreading it and only stops "SOME PEOPLE" from getting serious symptoms is not fit for purpose! Your cases are coming down but that's nothing to do with vaccinations it's because of the time of year ours plummeted the same as we came into summer only difference is we had less deaths last summer before vaccinations (apart from the odd local lockdown restrictions we were out of lockdown) than this summer when we had vaccinations and that included before the start of footie supporters being allowed back to matches. Second wave while people were getting vaccinated we had more deaths than first wave before vaccinations were available and this winter when we are pretty much fully vaccinated they are predicting more deaths than last winter, (these vaccines were rushed and never before have vaccines been allowed with so little testing), economies are at risk so money over health nobody can be sure of mid term never mind long term effects that might occur that's why they usually take years to approve!
 
But but but, the vaccine is not a silver bullet and I think a major issue is the non acceptance of the " the new normal" You yourself have adopted it out of fear, everyone else has said "nah **** it"

Italy should have been the yardstick of how vital the protocols should have been. Vaccination and continued protocol should be the way to go. However we have to look at who is guiding (for want of a better word) through this, and this is our exalted governments. They are stuffed if they do and stuffed if they don't.

Add to this the libtard population and those that adopt that when it suits them and we have the current situation.

If I was a current dictator I would not have had lockdowns, everyone would have been made to come to work. Travel by bicycle with a gas mask on and as you enter work you strip naked get sanitized and wear a hazmat suit.

Why didn’t Powell’s vaccine work?

Unfortunately Colin Powell died because of a deadly combination of an incurable cancer, old age, weakened immune system, and exposure to a deadly virus. The vaccine couldn’t save Colin Powell, but we could have. His death is a reminder of how serious this pandemic is and that we need to everything in our power to protect the 5.5 million immunocompromised around us.

One of Colin Powell's last interviews was with Bob Woodward. When Woodward expressed sympathy about Powell's health issues, Powell said - "Don't say no and don't feel sorry for me, for god's sakes. I'm [nearly] 85 years old. I've got to have something."
A decent man who got caught up in the surge to invade Iraq and never stopped regretting it. He went out pretty much as he lived.

Decent man or not, I dont think History and the Iraqi people share this point of view though... they are still paying the price dearly to this day and for another couple of decades probably... what media doesn't report extensively are the personal interests Bush, Cheney and this man amongst others had in that war. It's just tragic how worthless the human life has become.
 
I've just finished watching a documentary on what it is like in a COVID ICU ward. It was made in South Africa by a doctor who was working at the hospital. It documents the reality of what seriously ill patients go through when they're admitted.

I've come across a few people who refuse to be vaccinated, saying that they'll take their chances. To these people I have this to say. Please watch this documentary. You might realise that COVID is not a chance worth taking.

The documentary will be shown again on MNet Movies 4, Ch. 108 at these times:
24 Oct. at 13:50
28 Oct. at 12:55

The documentary is called Zero to Zero. The doctor who started filming during the first wave dealt with the first COVID patient to be hospitalised - Patient Zero. She assumed at the time that it would not be long before they had zero patients. Little did she know ...

I wanted to post this on one of our local FB groups. The Admin refused. Say no more.
 
So according to the papers, if you are worried about receiving a microchip with your vaccination, you can go to your nearest Vet to get yourself scanned for reassurance. I stopped by the local SPCA yesterday on my way from work to test this theory... Apparently I belong to some or other Botha family in Brakpan... :confundio1:
