Should I take the latest booster?

[ClemFandango1]

I took all jabs offered so far, even whilst pregnant and all has been largely fine.

However, I have to admit I've read many reports of post Vax nastiness and I chickened out of the last booster.

Should I just take it? Am I being daft?

I'm glad to know the children in the support group are all playing the victim, they usually grow out of it around 5
However it's more rare to be diagnosed as an adult and funnily I'm healthier on the injections that stimulate my bone marrow to make me produce more neutrophils because there's no other solution. None. Even the children with it have the injections
Trust me when I'm throwing up and every bone in my body hurts I wish that something else would work instead of the injections

It's funny how everyone is "BIG PHARMA" but if you had tetanus, or a baby with severe measles or cancer that needed chemo they would be screaming for the drugs

What do you mean, it doesn't sound as if it's going well with my current approach? My meds mean I'm well enough to live a relatively normal life. They slow the damage to my joints and organs.

As if I'm going to click a link posted by someone with clearly dubious motives, incidentally.

Drugs can have their place and there are many very successful ones. Like Invermectin for example

Aaaand there it is.

Billions of people rely on medication to stay alive and healthy. There is no shame in it and you, nor anyone else, will make me feel ashamed or stupid or any other negative emotion for doing so.

Incidentally, my medication costs far, far less per year than the various scans/blood tests/X rays/consultant appointments etc that taking it necessitates. If 'big pharma' and my consultants are using me as a money making scheme, they're not doing a very good job of it!

I've only had the first three jabs and I'm not having any more.
My dd 29 also had the first three but they didn't work for her due to medication that she'd had. (She's classed as very vulnerable as she's immunosuppressed). She had regular blood tests to check her immunity to covid and she had no immunity against covid.
She then caught it, was given antivirals and made a quick recovery.
From then on, her blood tests have shown she now has immunity at a high level.
So make your own mind up.

I had a booster recently...May I think. That makes 6 by my count. No ill effects and haven't had Covid since 2021 🤞 .

Nobody I know had a bad reaction themselves. But the odd one will refer to someone else who did. Like ' my friend's cousin was never the same after , oh hang on that was the flu vaccine ...'

Drugs can have their place and there are many very successful ones. Like Invermectin for example

Ivermectin is great against parasitic infections, but study after study after study has shown it is NOT effective against SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Yep, pretty ironic comment from the many times deleted poster.

Ivermectin is an excellent medication that has it's place treating things like scabies and heartworm.

It's place is categorically not to be touted by various cranks charging ££££ to prescribe it for long COVID and vaccine side effects.

Not been offered any boosters so I guess not needed anymore

Last time I had covid was 2020. I’ve not had any vaccines neither has my family and we’ve all been fine.

I’m afraid to say but ivermectin does work.

That's excellent news, I'm glad you've not suffered with covid.

Are you or your any of your family members in the most vulnerable group? Immunosuppressed? Solid transplant recipients? Blood cancer patients?

You're 'afraid' to say that are you 😂

Haemorrhaged where, exactly? Nosebleed? 😅

"Works" for what?

As has been posted, ivermectin is incredibly effective against parasitic disease, unfortuntately not against coronavirus. We have robust, replicated evidence demonstrating null effects (and probabably hundreds of MN posts explaining how it became a massive scam in the science & medical world)

Why would anyone be afraid of saying so? Everyone was hoping it would be effective as a prevenative or acute coronavirus drug. Sadly it wasn't - like the majority of existing drugs that were tested in RCTs to see if they could be used whilst novel medications & vaccines were developed.

Starting to feel a bit like 2020 again isn't it?

There are fewer deaths now as the virus has mutated to a less virulent strain although people like to credit the vaccines as the hero 🙄

Covid didn't mutate into a less virulent strain until late 2021, and it was early 2022 before that strain was the dominant one. Delta was doing the rounds throughout 2021 and that wasn't 'less virulent'. The most vulnerable were vaccinated from early 2021, and that's when deaths dramatically dipped. Remember, at times in 2020 well over a thousand deaths a day were being recorded. And that was at a time when we were in lockdowns and people were not mixing freely.

But that's the point of the grift @SomeDizzyWhoreI804 . We are meant to wipe the horrors of 2020 and early 21 from our collective minds. 1000 deaths a day ? Meh. A 40 year old fitness fanatic whose last words were of regret for not getting vaccinated? Pfft.

It's all reminiscent of the old anecdotes about 60 a day smokers who live to be 112. If you keep talking about thousands of unvaccinated people dying every week how is John Campbell going to make his second million? Have some compassion.

My husband had his reminder to get his booster recently but has had real difficulty finding anywhere that is still carrying out vaccinations. We live in south London and all of the local pharmacies who were vaccinating people over the winter have run out of vaccine and have been told they can't order any more, and the two health centres who were vaccinating people have said the same. The only places which are still vaccinating people seem to be hospital clinics.

I had terrible trouble booking my last one. All the others I had at the large vaccination centre in the middle of my city. For this one, I was offered pharmacies 30 miles away! I was eligible from 2 April but couldn't find a pharmacy I could get to until the end of May, and even then it was two buses away. Not good when you're disabled.
