Such good news!

Does that cap fit?
casting pearls before swine

Wow, and I thought that reasonable people can argue without name calling and offensive references. What a shame.

It's not just about the risk of Covid compared to the vaccine. Lockdown also comes with an increased risk of blood clots for a lot of people who are putting weight on and moving around less.

@LilaJunior where is the offense in "Does that cap fit?"

Seriously, what do you think it means?

@TheDailyCarbunkle

Actually the narcolepsy developed shortly after the swine flu vaccine. There’s no evidence that people who developed it one year after the vaccine developed it due to the vaccine. It is a recognised condition that exists independently of whether or not you received the pandemrix vaccine and so it’s entirely possible these people would have developed it anyway.

Well there's an easy solution to that - get out and walk more!

If they think smokers and women on the Pill/HRT are more at risk that is good news for me as I am neither of those things.

Sorry, didn't mean to quote that!

And I am guessing the pearls before swine came to mind becaus eof the erroneous use of the Swine Flu vaccine to further scare people.

If you find taking the piss out of anti vaxxers more insulting and nasty than the thread just under it...the spiteful EU one... you might want to recalibrate your nasty scale!

Actually good linking, @CuriousaboutSamphire.... I hadn't actually thought about that it prior to using it.

I remember my grandmother saying it .
