someone was telling me about embalmers having to pull ‘stuff’ out of the veins since Covid/vaxines.

My natural instinct is to declare it total guff. Generally I’d use snopes or similar. But I don’t want to read conspiracy nonsense!

Are we experiencing unusual deaths since Covid/vaccines? I have a relative with an unexpected, unusual heart condition.
Could anyone oblige with actual information rather than conspiracy theories? To be honest I think I am being v v unreasonable to ask but I’m mulling on it.

I dont know about the 'weird stuff in veins' bit but actually there are a number of people who have developed quite serious medical conditions as a direct result of the covid vaccinations. I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss this. There is no way in the world anyone is sticking that crap in me. Most of the people i know who have had it will not have it again. The evidence is there if you take the time to look for it. It was there way before everyone decided to opt into untested vaccines that there was absolutely no way to prove were actually helpful in preventing the spread or limiting the symptoms of covid.

@Notmoog

Covid in 2020 was a new virus. It was mutation prone like flu, but otherwise different from flu and more like SARS.

The threat, across the globe, was how our bodies would cope with a new virus and whether it would mutate to become more deadly.

There were high numbers of deaths and huge demand on hospitals.

Then we had the vaccine roll out across the globe which helped us develop our hybrid immunity.

Now it’s only certain groups that are advised to take the vaccine as the virus is less of a threat and hospitals can cope : including the groups you stated.

we were very confidently told that the risk to the vast majority of the population was minimal. That was known right at the beginning

@Notmoog

I was reasonably concerned about the threat to myself, and aware that it could mutate to be more problematic.

I thought there was a fair chance that I could need NHS/ hospital assistance when I knew there was a huge demand on resources.
I wanted the vaccine so I knew I’d hopefully just have a mild case - which is what happened.
I was aware of the risks when I took the vaccine : as with any medication - I read the risks/potential complications.

Immunity is about your body having sensed something before, and knowing how to react. So now I’ve had 4 vaccines, and Covid twice - I feel I’ll be able to ‘cope’ if I get it this winter.

so it's just a difference in risk assessment.
I also assumed I would get a mild case as I am generally fit and healthy and i was right.
I also assume I have natural immunity as I probably caught covid at least twice (* based on symptoms as I never tested) and as that gives much wider protection than the very targeted injections I concluded the injections would be of no benefit to me but as with all medical substances they contain an element of risk.
I think a lot of the difference in opinion stems from this.
How that then turns into people being called tin foil hatters and accused of believing the vaccine contains chips i don't know.

Notmoog · 11/11/2024 18:18

"I wanted the vaccine so I knew I’d hopefully just have a mild case - which is what happened"
How are you so confident it was the vaccine that meant you had a mild case?
100% of the people I know had a mild case whether injected or not.
( mild meaning not requiring hospital treatment which was often cited as the definition of mild)

HippoCamping · 11/11/2024 18:33

@Notmoog

Prior to the vaccine, I knew two friends in their thirties who were hospitalised.

I have to idea why they got it so badly as they were both fit and healthy 30
year olds.
And same reason as why I get the flu vaccine every year. I’m not sure how badly I’m going to get it.

The vaccine dose is a managed, mild dose - which will give immunity protection if I do get flu : and prevent a bad case of flu.

that is very unusual for your friends to be so ill at that age. there again there are always outliers.

HippoCamping · 11/11/2024 18:49

@Notmoog

But surely that’s the same as people who have had vaccine complications. It’s unusual.

I was quite shocked when they told me (and they are boyfriend/girlfriend : both hospitalised at the same time).

And I was hearing other Covid related scare stories too.

But I acknowledge I do have bias, I’m pro science.

I think others who were vaccine sceptic - would also have a bias, and be drawn towards groups who share anecdotal evidence to back that view.

Eliminating bias is hard, but if you look across the globe, take into account the various new sources, health guidelines from UK to Sweden to Australia : the advice was to get vaccinated.

So I believe it was the safest thing to do.

Notmoog · 11/11/2024 18:57

"But I acknowledge I do have bias, I’m pro science"
yes, so am I and good advice for people of all opinions to try to eliminate bias.

"I think others who were vaccine sceptic - would also have a bias, and be drawn towards groups who share anecdotal evidence to back that view." or , you know, drawn to scientific evidence also? You do know that there isn't just "science" as one opinion, one definite?
( Shame you resorted to being so patronising implying your opinion is science based nd others@ is anecdote based: had a vague idea we were having a sensible discussion)

HippoCamping · 11/11/2024 19:02

@Notmoog

No - I’d call it anti science. Or pseudoscience. Or fringe science.
It’s science of sorts, but not the generally accepted view.
While I think it’s important to have an alternative view, you need that view to be backed up and peer reviewed.

@Jumpingthruhoops

No you’ve got it wrong. Sorry!

“The Public Assessment Report summarises the initial assessment at the time of approval in December 2020. The text in the original report remains unchanged.”

It may say updated 2024, but it’s what it said in the original document. TEXT REMAINS UNCHANGED.

It’s for reference, stating what the original report stated.

Jesus Christ! We could go backwards and forwards like this forever...

The original document from 2020 was updated in 2022 to include the new Pfizer info. I know this because I'd seen the 2020 doc saying pregnant women SHOULD get the jab, then I compared this with the 2022 version saying they should not. The current version updated in August 2024 still says they should not.

The reason these documents say UPDATED is to reflect that they contain new information. Obviously.

The fact is, though, whatever these reports suggest, all that matters is what's going on in the real world. And, in the real world, people are being harmed by these jabs - the BBC (finally) ran a report just today. My conscience is clear. Can you say the same?

That was two nights ago, and I didn’t engage with that particular poster any further. Surely in all your superiority you picked up on that? Or are you that same poster under a different name? Either way, shame there’s no cure for stupid. I might as well talk to a wall. I’d get more sense out of it. Ciao! 😘

Scroll up this page @teanbiscuits . @Cappuccinowithonesugarplease was literally 'that particular poster' you were telling you wouldn't be responding to again.

I'd have thought it was easy to find as people often confidently state he has made millions. Just wondering if there is any basis to that?

Did you not open the link with the estimate showing based on users and views?

Unless you see his bank account you won't get an exact figure 🤣

Cappuccinowithonesugarplease · 11/11/2024 10:30

You won't find links because its been swept under the carpet. The point is, myocarditis is way more common now after the Vax rollout. Amongst other things. I know of people who died within days of having the second shot, and a close friends started having seizures shortly after. But of course it MUST be a coincidence.

100% this! The fact that people on here still haven't joined the dots is WILD!

HippoCamping · 11/11/2024 19:31

No @Jumpingthruhoops

It very, very clearly states that it is a summary of the the initial findings.

The initial findings in 2020 state : there was insufficient data to advise pregnant women. This is not due to a safety concern.

You cannot change the wording of that text, because it’s a reference to what was known in 2020.

The updates are referring to the links then put in that report to give the change of advice once sufficient data was available.

Jumpingthruhoops · 11/11/2024 19:34

Wednesdaysdrag · 11/11/2024 14:53

@Jumpingthruhoops please can you answer about myocarditis.

You claim the fact that it’s risen since 2020 is proof it’s the vaccines.

But it’s been on the rise for years. What accounts of the rise up to 2019?

And how is the rise since 2020 proof that it’s the vaccine?

I think this is meant for @Cappuccinowithonesugarplease

The link above is from January 2023 and remains unchanged.
UK HSA clearly states

Coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine is strongly recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding women by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and the Royal College of Midwives. The COVID-19 vaccines available in the UK are the safest and most effective way to protect you and your baby.
There is evidence that vaccination in pregnancy may help prevent COVID-19 hospital admissions of babies in the first 6 months of life. This is because immunity in the mother can be passed on to the baby in the womb and this offers short-term protection after birth.
Women who are pregnant are classed as in a clinical risk group within the COVID-19 vaccine programme. Unvaccinated women who become pregnant are strongly encouraged to have their first 2 doses of the vaccine. Women who are pregnant and have previously been vaccinated should have a booster dose this autumn.

Not a lot of ambiguity there

The link I shared yesterday - updated just a few months back - says the complete opposite.
But, as I said, you do you.

HippoCamping · 11/11/2024 19:39

The Public Assessment Report was written in 2020. Now it WOULD be a conspiracy if they attempted to rewrite it!!!

No one has the first bloody clue how much he earns!

What really cracks me up with critics of people like John Campbell is they haven't engaged their tiny brain enough to ask why someone like him would go out of their way to become deeply unpopular within his own industry becoming the target of censorship, smears and even death threats.

I mean, you just wouldn't do that unless it was for a very good reason.

HippoCamping · 11/11/2024 19:43

Goodness @Jumpingthruhoops

Do you really not get it??

What you have linked in the text from the 2020 Public Assessment Report.

You can’t just change the wording of the document!!! It clearly states ‘the text remains unchanged’.

The links are where text in that document can now be clarified.

I think you’ll find it was you @Jumpingthruhoops that I was talking to at around 2:30am, I’ve just gone back and double checked. Considering you love accusing people of gaslighting you, you seem to have got that trait down to perfection. Unless of course the other poster is you under a different user name and you have got confused? You certainly have very similar posting styles.

I have absolutely zero respect for your opinion. You do realise I’ve simply enjoyed taking the piss don’t you, and watching you get annoyed at being challenged? Don’t like being challenged do you? On other threads which I looked at for a bit of a laugh, you have confidently and arrogantly spouted bullshit as fact and then claimed you were being bullied 🤣. Narcissistic or what? 🤣 you certainly know how to play the victim when things don’t go your way!

"It is indeed true that the risks of serious side-effects of a covid infection reduce significantly if you don't have co-morbidities, although it's not zero. But the risks of contracting covid are only half the equation. If you can't quantify the risks presented by the vaccine then you can't conclude that the vaccine represents a greater risk.
So how did you quantify the risks of the vaccine so you could then compare that against the risks of contracting covid?"

exactly the same as how you reached the conclusion to presumably take the injection.
I looked at the stats released by the ONS each week to showed hospitilizations and deaths by age, co morbidities etc. and compared that to the number of vaccine injuries being reported and decided that for me, the benefits of the injection certainly did not outweigh the risks.

As there was, and still is; a lot of fudging of figures around the whole covid event, I would much rather take the one very small risk of getting ill from covid, rather than increase my risk of illness by adding the relatively unknown element of the injections too.
So far, I am very happy with my decision.
In fact, I only personally know of people who have regretted taking the injections; I'm yet to meet someone who regrets not taking them.

Same here. Not a single person I know who didn't have it, regrets it. Meanwhile, I know lots who do, including several who were VERY pro-vax. So the tide is turning.

HippoCamping · 11/11/2024 19:47

The updates - are the linked articles. So where it says updated, you click through to see what the advice is in August 2024.

This is just so basic! @Jumpingthruhoops

And if you are misinterpreting this so easily, AND just trying to ‘style it out’ / rather than admit your mistake, thank f@@k no one’s really listening to your vaccine musings!!

(Apart from other erm let’s say misinformed people. I can think of better words)!
