I trust my immune system Facebook profile frame

What do we think ? 😂 Crackers ? Be most unfortunate if their immune system was a bit shady 😬

I'd have more trust in Matt Hancock than my immune system.

FrankensteinIsTheMonster · 25/06/2021 17:23

Weird, Fluffy. Still I guess it was good while it lasted.

Ethelswith · 25/06/2021 17:28

I definitely don't trust mine fully - I have psoriasis (with an unusually early age for onset)

I hate those ‘I’ve had my vaccine’ ones. And I judge people who put them. Massively.
Oh good, I thought it was just me. They really grind my gears. It's like the facebook equivalent of standing outside your house at 8pm banging a pan with a wooden spoon and looking smug. I can't bear them. Genuinely thinking about coming off social media and this has definitely contributed Grin

@VoyageInTheDark

I don't trust mine, it's well shady Grin Attacks me if I eat gluten.
Mine threw me under the bus when I got an unspecified virus. I should have seen it coming, it was always hysterical about a bit of harmless pollen, it's a proper mardy bitch!

@XenoBitch

I find the "I've had my vaccine" ones more cringe. I have seen one that says "I have applied my haemorrhoid cream", which makes me smile
Haha I want the haemorrhoid cream one.
PawsQueen · 25/06/2021 20:54

It really pisses me off. I mean I trusted mine then one day BAM, shock diagnosis and I have virtually no immune system
Could have happened to anyone. And it's like they don't think about people who have no fucking immune system through no fault of their own
Thick people is what I think, like "I trust my body". Right, so you're never going to have a heart attack, stroke, get cancer... alright then Hmm

Me too, they are so cringey and smug.
CrunchyCarrot · 25/06/2021 21:06

All I can say about my immune system is "it's complicated" Grin

HermioneGrunger · 25/06/2021 21:20

My immune system is a total wanker, it probably thought it was being helpful when it destroyed my joints and tendons. I have to take drugs to stop it being such a wanker.

I do not trust my immune system at all so I'm double vaccinated Grin

Sweettea1 · 25/06/2021 21:24

Watching news earlier 117 people died this week 44 had no vacancie 50 people had both vacancies 23 had one dose. I've had my 1st one so not an anti vacs but these figures suggest maybe vaccine isnt the answer.

It has happened. People mouthing of that covid doesn't exsist or the immune system can handle it on social media

Then a few months later then posting they are in hospital and they were wrong. Else even worse actually dieing and the family warning people yo be more careful.

Cushionsnotpillows · 25/06/2021 22:11

Vaccine frames are not to be smug about having it, it's to encourage take up, especially in communities that may be more wary.

A very very cool and influential lady I know of Indian heritage put up a frame and a status about having her jab and how well it went and over 100 women from her community booked their appts following that. That is social media doing something food for a change.

Cushionsnotpillows · 25/06/2021 22:11

Good not food, bloody phone!

It's interesting and sad of course if people die of Covid when they've been jabbed twice or even once, but we know the stats don't tell the whole story about someone's heath, their managed conditions, vulnerabilities and even undiagnosed conditions. How they are exposed and the viral load of their exposure.

I assume the stats ate still doing that "you died of Covid" thing when they died of something else after having Covid it gets muddy.

I find any of those Facebook frames pretty unbearable.

helpmewiththisnew · 25/06/2021 22:19

@Cushionsnotpillows I'm actually all for the vaxed frames soz MN. I did have mine up when I had my first one, to encourage others too. Sadly lots of anti-Vax woo parents in my area. I do think it's personal choice, and I was not a stay home framer. Just unexpected to see an alternative version.

How on earth would you know the 100 people booked their vaccine because of her FB frame?
PhilCornwall1 · 26/06/2021 07:43

Mine eats my joints and inflames my body bits. It's a nob and I wouldn't trust it as far as I could throw it!

Yours sounds a bit like mine, it makes me ill and is an untrustworthy tosser. I call mine Matt.

SmidgenofaPigeon · 26/06/2021 08:28

Inevitably lots of posters are going to rush to proclaim their immune system is the worst, immune system top trumps!

Bottom line is all those frames make me cringe, like the ‘stay the fuck home’ business of last year. No, fuck off, some of us have to go out to work, and then I want to go and get something nice for tea and some wine from the actual shop.

Katie517 · 26/06/2021 09:46

@Lostinacloud completely agree with you! And am a firm believer that your health is hugely dependent on what you eat and how much you move! We seem to have forgotten the basics of health especially when it comes to covid! I find all Facebook frames unbearable but the I’ve had my vaccine ones really grind my gears! Good for you but it’s still a personal choice and the virtue signaling throughout covid has been vomit inducing!

justwanttodanceagain · 26/06/2021 09:48

They're great!

If only they would do something similar in real life - maybe tattoo a D on their foreheads, so you know to give them a wide berth Grin

HumunaHey · 26/06/2021 10:34

@Lostinacloud

Well to be fair, the human immune system is thousands of years old and according to all government statistics, can protect 99% of humans from dying of covid. Just a shame everybody has forgotten that and so we continue to be restricted while we apparently wait for the entire world to be vaccinated long after we vaccinated all the elderly and vulnerable people that wanted to have it and were actually at risk of more serious illness.
I also agree with this.

In fairness, we had to discover antibiotics to stop humans dying of ingrowing toenails as our thousands of years' old immune systems still couldn't get one over on a little bit of staph. And we're still not 10/10 on dealing with bacterial infections, never mind viruses or the diseases of the immune system that lots of us on here have mentioned.

Even if 99 out of 100 people won't actually die of it, I don't feel quite so lucky as to be blase about the estimated risk you quote when that 1% who will die if they catch it totals around 787,496,582 - that number equates to;

more than three quarters of a billion people or

the equivalent of 50% of the population of China.
