Are you really prepared to take every single vaccine

[Talsaml]

It worries me that we may have to keep having vaccines going forward. I’m due my booster which I will take but I’m hearing that AZ are in the process of tweaking the current vaccine to combat the new strain. So we are then required to take another booster. Many variants can crop up, suppose another one does very soon. I’m concerned about the number of vaccines we could be taking. Is anyone else? And no I’m not an anti vaxer.

Yes

Actually hepatitis is 3. Had to do it before I went travelling.

Also rabies is 3.

And I’ve had FIVE MMR shots in the course of my life. The Rubella immunity always wears off.

So.... yeah.[/quote]
I had four hepatitis B jabs for work before we gave up. Around 10% of the population don't produce antibodies in response to it.

Vaccines are never perfect but on a population level they work.

@MaddieElla

People banging on about it being the same as the flu jab once a year. With booster, that's three in one year. No other vaccine requires that.

It's extremely common for vaccines to need two or three rounds, and/or later doses.

Absolutely not.

No I won’t because unlike the flu, we still dint know what we are doing re covid.
We don’t know what works and what doesn’t. And by that I don’t mean we don’t know if vaccines work. We do know that. But even with vaccines, we don’t know how to control the virus, even wo new mutations (see the spikes in Europe Atm despite the vaccinations levels, masks, covid passes etc….)

We also don’t know the long term effects of the vaccines, or the long term effects of getting several boosters (and we can’t because they’ve been available for a too short time).

So atm, I’m waiting. I could get the booster but I’ll wait to see what’s going on with omicron and whether it’s worth doing it or not.

@ErrolTheDragon surely that includes the two jabs most people already have??

It’s unusual to need more than that. Bar the flu but that’s because the virus mutates every year so it’s never the same virus….

@AuroraSophia That comment is just mad. Do you get your information from Facebook? 🤷‍♀️🙄

Takes three in three months for the primary course of infant vaccinations- if you haven't been vaccinated against something before, it's not unusual to need more than one shot (look at the NHS travel vaccinations list for the large number that require more than one dose).

By the way, for some of us, it's four in one year. Which I'm fine with.

Too right! Whatever the NHS is giving away, grab it while it's going.

But those don't require 2 or 3 doses every single year. I'm hoping this will eventually be something that can be controlled with a once a year jab, but I'm not on board with 3 jabs a year every year, and then potentially yet another every time we get a mutant variant.

I've had all the jabs, I am behind the science 100%. But you can't blame people for thinking "where does this end?"

No, I’ve had covid twice now so natural immunity is the way I’m going. My body, My choice.

@AuroraSophia

Do you get yours from mainstream media with one agenda and anything else is censored? I’d rather wait and see the long term effects (sudden death, heart problems and cancer to name a few). I have a PHD in Neuroscience and Psychoneuroimmunology so I think I may qualified enough to make an informed decision. The fact that these ‘vaccines’ cross the blood/brain barrier it is a massive NO from me. Enjoy your lifetime boosters. 💀

Can you tell me the implication of the fact that they cross the blood/brain barrier? i have read about this before.

Exactly

Looks like I'm the only one saying no, nobody use to have flu vaccines especially not pregnant women, you weren't even allowed to take a paracetamol.

But science evolves Otherwise we would still be putting butter on burns and using laudanum and weaning babies at 8 weeks and believing cars couldn't be electric They can't say it's safe if it hasn't been found safe so erring on the side of caution If it's proven safe then yes they can say actually paracetamol is fine now when you're pregnant

@Isthatthebestyoucando

I get what you’re saying op, I was thinking the same. I was very excited to be offered my original vaccines, I’m less sure now. I had some hormonal issues after my second vaccine, I know people had issues with their menstrual cycles, I had incredibly painful breasts for about three or four months after my vaccine and ended up with a lump in my breast, I had a mammogram and was told probably hormonal changes caused tissue changes. The timing could have been completely coincidental, but now it’s booster time I’m frightened of it happening again. Does anyone know if pfizer had side effects of hormonal changes? I had AZ.

I had both Pfizer jabs early in the year and have experienced menstrual problems since the 2nd one. I had it 31st March, but have only had 2 periods since, although I still feel like I’m going through it every month mood wise. I still had my booster a few weeks ago and will continue with anything recommended. I have completely managed to avoid any strain of covid (touch wood!!) so fingers crossed that will continue. I do understand some people’s concerns, but the point of my reply is that I’m proof it does work and everyone should continue to test themselves and get whatever vaccines are offered

I was very positive about the first and second vaccine and really felt it was important so as to ensure normal life got back to normal for everyone. The booster I was less positive about but felt that when the time came there was moral responsibility so as to protect the spread for all. However now there is talk of a fourth vaccination which will only be a matter of time for everyone I have begun to take a different view and now feel very concerned about the way things are going. I am concerned - had I have known it would soon be vaccine 4 I think my view about vaccine 1 would have been different

@AuroraSophia

I'm not normally one to doubt people's qualifications but I struggle to understand how someone could gain a PhD in neuroscience whilst simulatenously believing it's plausible that an intramuscular injection could lead to changes to genetic material in the brain which results in "mind control"

(and that world leaders have already acheived this )

Are you really prepared to take every single vaccine

I'm prepared to take NHS medical advice, so that would be a yes

Yes. Of course. I’m a medic, & a scientist.
Not sure why you wouldn’t jump at the chance to be protected.Same goes for any other vaccines, including flu which I have every year.

I also self inject myself every week with beta interferon to keep me well.

It’s really no big deal.
