[quote Etinoxaurus]@XenoBitch did you know you can pick up lft’s for free from pharmacies or have them delivered to your door?
I have a feeling I’m being doin genius or have missed a massive backstory![/quote]
I do have a box that I picked up ages ago. A CEV friend was going to come to mine, and I did offer to do one if would help her feel more comfortable, but she said no (and I cancelled in the end anyway).

There are so many mixed messages about them, I find. Trust them, don't trust them, false negatives, false positives etc. Then all the stuff with the dodgy PCRs too (I live in an affected area).

@XenoBitch
Sounds like you’re having a tough time.

No-one is toxic free these days with the amount of plastic, medication in our water supplies alone that's before you think about eating anything

@snowflake29f if you got cancer what good would your herbs do? If you got a serious case of COVID what would you do?

@TheFairyCaravan

Stop calling him Boris. He’s not your mate. You wouldn’t have said “there’s a press conference with Dave” or “there’s a press conference with Theresa” would you?

So if you refer to someone by their first name, they’re automatically your mate?

The dudes name is Boris. People call him Boris because THAT’S HIS NAME.

Christ on a bike. Stop being so bloody childish.

OK - hands up who's taken a lateral flow test today?
This week ?
Ever?

I do two per week.

One before I go to my DP’s at the weekend and one once I’ve got back to make sure he hasn’t given me the Rona

I did one today before going to our music lesson.

At the weekend I'll do one before meeting with friends and another before meeting up with family.

@snowflake29f do you have children?

[snowflake29f]

Oh you think I’m selfish because I will be leaving my kids behind . Maybe the reason I am ok with death is because I live my life to the fullest I don’t just exist in it .
Death is inevitable we all die and it don’t matter how scared this silly world wants you to be if you embrace your life and love the people you need to respect the ones you don’t need to love your life will be for filled.

I am a free person I am also toxic free and I will stay that way . I will not be forced to be vaccinated or to ingest any medication. My medication is homemade and I know what goes into it . I’m 50 years old and never been in a hospital or to a doctor.
But if you wish to have medication and vaccines that’s ok by me but don’t force pills and jabs on me as I don’t force my roots and herbs on you . My choice my body .

Christ on a bike. I'm also 50. And unfortunately I'm one of those folk who has an underlying health condition (hereditary and no fault of my own) I have a 9 year old daughter and it's crossed my mind several times how on earth she would cope without me (note: I am neither hysterical or scaremongering)

I've never lived through a Pandemic before, until now. As have none of us. But I did take all my childhood jabs. I don't recall people in history being such arseholes about doing the best thing to protect our loved ones and our community as a whole.

I guess it speaks volumes about why people vote Conservative. They only think of themselves. Not the disabled etc. Heaven forbid it ever happens to them.

eh?

Do you turn down antibiotics?

If you got type 1 diabetes you'd just accept death rather than injecting insulin?

[Oblomov21]

No type 1 diabetic jokes please.

Yes, this is very true we all go sooner or later and after about 50 or so years it's like we never existed.

@Oblomov21

It wasn't a joke, it was a genuine question?

[Sparklingbrook]

I don't get the 'when your time is up it's up' . Often illnesses that would have meant years ago your time was up can now be very successfully treated to give you years/decades more until your time is up-probably because of old age.

I'm stuffed full of modern medicine, it allows me to live a happy and full life.

I find it crazy that posters seem to have a blanket ban on anything that isn't "natural".

Yup. Me too. I get antibiotics every time I get tonsillitis. I take codeine because I'm in masses of pain every day. I have to swallow antihistamines because I have Chronic urticaria, I take Ramipril because I have high blood pressure (and amlodipine made me very poorly) I basically wouldn't be alive without modern medicine

[leafyygreens]

yes @RainbowZebraWarrior

I do believe it's easy to say if you've never been acutely unwell or have a chronic illness though!

I live my life to the fullest but am doing what I can to ensure it lasts a lot longer. This includes protecting myself and those around me by have both vaccinations Covid vaccinations.

🤣

What is in your 'roots and herbs' that is so 'toxic free' compared to other medicines? You do realise that some of the strongest medicines ever made come from 'roots and herbs'? Medicines you would presumably decline?

Paclitaxel, one of the strongest and most effective chemotherapies available, was originally made from yew trees.

[toomuchlaundry]

@snowflake29f do your children have medicine/vaccinations?

[SleepyMathematician]

@marieantoinehairnet

I'm Due a booster but the computer says no...

I also went online today to book a Oct, computer said no to that too

And to log a lat flow test, wouldn't work for that either

I expect they're turning off the tap as it suits them right now to do so.

Same here. Offered a flu jab, followed the booking link, wouldn’t work.

Not offered booster yet despite being over 50, CEV, and well past the 6 month mark. Computer says no as I haven’t been contacted yet.

I phoned 119 in desperation today. They can see I should be eligible, they can see I’m over the 6 month mark, they can see I should be able to book it. But I can’t and they can’t do it for me. They said all I can do is wait to be contacted but they don’t know when that will be. “Hopefully soon”.

All this “get your boosters” is making me quite angry. My parents in their 80s can’t book theirs yet either, also well over 6 months. I think you’re right, they’re slowing it right down as it suits their narrative to say we aren’t complying.
