This morning I have been able to book my DH his two appointments on the NHS site.
It wouldn’t let me yesterday.
To all those waiting, try every day.

I'm wondering why these DH's can't book their own appointments.

mommybunny · 11/03/2021 09:15

My SIL texted me Saturday to tell me she’d booked her 52 year old (no health conditions) partner and that lots of their friends around the same age have booked. I’m 54 at end of month but the website is telling me I’m not eligible yet. I’m guessing the difference is the local area we are in - hers just may have gotten through the over 55s quicker than mine has.

I’ve been checking the website every day (just once!) since then. I noted yesterday the age cutoff dropped from 56 to 55 so hoping it drops again soon!

Shouldn't you be away making a tin foil hat? Do you think anti vax stuff is helpful?

My over-55 NHS letter dated 5 March arrived in the post today (no sign of DH(56)'s). Luckily the NHS and GP both texted so we're looking forward to our jabs this weekend.

I feel sure I heard that AZ were sending over a massive batch of vaccines from India this week.

Shouldn't you be in the backyard sticking your head in a bucket of sand. Jeez, I've seen ignorance in my time, but you take the winners prize. So you now think a Group of Doctors, Scientists should shut up and go away and make some tin hats, just so you can be happy staying and keeping others ill informed. Since when is it antivax stuff to let the public know what's happening with this vaccine rollout.

Have you not noticed people are just ignoring you? Does that happen a lot in real life too?

What people ? Is that your best Observation ? Is that your main concern ? I'll stick to facts, and let you carry on your nasty way. Seems your happiest arguing and refuting science in your lonely deluded world.

😂 you’re not right in the head

And it’s ‘you’re’ happiest arguing. And yes I do like arguing with idiots

Pensionista · 12/03/2021 11:29

If you like arguing with 'idiots' take a look in the mirror, and go from there. You attacked me first simply because I posted a link from Doctors and Scientists with important information. Who are you to 'censor' what people see or don't see. Then you went on to attack me further. 'I'm not right in the head ' That's rich coming from someone who admits she likes arguing. You need help, You're a nasty piece of work, and I have no more time to waste on you. So Jog on.

Dr Michael Yeadon claimed in October 2020 that there was no need for vaccines because covid was over in the UK.

Professor Sucharit Bhakdiis long retired and not practicing, he has been claiming covid is no worse than flu despite all facts about hospitalisation and death numbers.

Dr Marco Chiesa is a psychiatrist with no relevant scientific background.

Dr C Stephen Frostis also long retired, sacked by the MoD for failing to tell a patient about an incorrect medical dose, too busy trying to imply there was drug dealing (there wasn't) to manage actual patient welfare.

Dr Margareta Griesz-Brisson- an alternative therapies idiot who suggested that face masks cause brain damage from oxygen deprivation; she tried removing her video from the internet when she realised how stupid it sounded, but it is preserved!

Professor Martin Haditsch - another covid conspiracy theorist, this one is Austrian.

Dr Lissa Johnson - psychologist, no relevant scientific experience.

...

I can see why they all get along. I don't think anybody with even half a brain cell should listen to that ragtag little bunch ahead of a raft of actual scientists who have been employed and given resources to perform the types of reviews that are needed.

"Scientists" funded by pharmaceutical companies say every single human being will require said pharmaceutical companies' products several times a year, every year, to get their lives back. How there's a soul alive that can't see this for what it is, I will never, ever know.
PS: Watch out for the obvious sleeper cells popping up from everywhere these days and always defending, pushing out and trying to sell the official MSM narrative, by dismissing any critical thinking as conspiracies.

The MHRA and JCVI are not funded by pharmaceutical firms. Nor are the EMA, the FDA etc etc etc etc. Scientists have said they don't yet know when immunity will drop off, after variant vaccines it may not drop off at all. You appear not to have noticed that anyone got unwell nor died from covid. How on earth did you miss that?

Really? That sounds like something a child would say, not a reasoning adult.

But then, look at what you're posting - you aren't a reasoning adult.
