COVID vaccine? Does it do anything?

[Greybottle]

I jumped at getting the COVID vaccines when they came out and I got all the vaccines that I was eligible for to date except for this year.

I got COVID in the summer time and I wasn't able to get the vaccine this winter. My GP recommended a 4 month wait.

It's just I got COVID twice. Once in 2022 and I had that bad too. I wasn't hospitalised but still I was ill with fever, body aches, headaches and coughs for over a week. I was rushed back to work prepaturely when I still wasn't 100% better.

I got COVID this summer too. I was floored with it.

A lot of people were floored with it this summer. Even though we got the COVID vaccines.

It's just I got a reminder text to book the vaccine today and I just don't know.

I am not anti vaccine but what is the point of the vaccine when youre still going to get exposed and become ill to this anyways?

I got flu in 2004 or 2005 and I was getting flu vaccine because of my work from about 2008 and I never had flue since 04/05. The flu vaccine works. But I am questioning the COVID vaccine? What is the point of going out of my way to travel to an establishment to get jabbed and sore for a few days and if I am exposed to COVID, I am likely still going to get it.

Honestly. Do you believe in alien abduction as well?

I’m not quite sure how simply, realistically and logically I could have spelt it out. You don’t have to agree with me whatsoever but I can’t see what I’ve posted that makes you think I’m some kind of wacko.

I could be equally as rude and comment how some people lost all sense of reason and the ability to think for themselves - even when presented with the hard truth from the Matt Hancock WhatsApp’s where he openly admitted to manipulating facts and figures for political gain and that he pushed for everyone, including children, to be vaccinated when there was absolutely no benefit. Meanwhile he was snogging his mistress and no doubt laughing at the generally gullibility of the UK public.

People seem to built their entire existence on the supposed Covid jab cover up. Unless you worked on the research behind the vaccine or on a ward during the pandemic you have no idea about the sheer hell of it. And it affected everyone not just the elderly or infirm so do excuse me if I take absolutely no notice of your opinion

I, on the other hand, still respect your opinion, even if it isn’t reciprocated.

I cannot respect yours whatsoevet

OK. 👍

I didn’t bother with it last year. Went out for dinner just before Christmas and the man on the table next door coughed constantly and looked really ill (so bloody inconsiderate- was obviously really unwell). Three days later I was diagnosed with Covid and have never felt so ill in my life. The other three people at my table had all been vaccinated and didn’t get it. So I don’t know - but I’ve had the vaccine this year. I’m scared of being so ill again. Can’t do any harm.

And they wonder why the birth rate is falling.. crazy times.

I got my first covid vaccine in April 2021, I got my second one two months later and I got my booster one six months after that. When I got my first one I felt fine straight after it, however I started to feel unwell at night. I felt dizzy and had a temperature, but I decided I would stay up late like I usually do, I just tried not to think about it. I went to bed at about 11.30pm. In the early hours of the morning, I had a headache and I got up and took paracetamol then went back to bed, but it soon passed and I was better in the mid afternoon. I was fine when I got my second one and I was fine when I got my booster.

The reason you get vaccines for it even though you can still get it after you've had your vaccines is if you would have been at risk if you had it, you wouldn't be at risk if you have it after you've had your vaccines. Also you don't feel as ill if you have it after you've had your vaccines as you do if you get it if you haven't had your vaccines. Also if you get it after you've had your vaccines you don't need to stay home, so you can go to school/college/university/work and you can go out, you now just treat it like a common cold, but I'm not sure if you still need to stay home if you get it and you haven't had your vaccines.

Not a chance I'd be getting it.

Why would you want to get a vaccine that doesn't stop you getting the illness?

Because anyone can get Covid and the vaccine reduces the severity.

Says who? They've lied and lied and lied about this so called vaccine and yet people are still desperate to believe the latest version of the story.

John Hopkins are experts - I take information from organisations who are specialists in the field.

Who do you take information from?

Ah yes, "trust the science". No thank you.

It's up to you, maybe it did nothing, maybe it stopped you dying. It's your game of roulette to play.

Who do you get your information from?

Such a dangerous disease that Boris and his Co- muppets were partying all night in Downing street, hugging, dancing and snogging the night away whilst us mere mortals were locked in our homes and losing our jobs. Do I trust the Government? 🤣😂🤣 am I glad I didn't take onboard their advice and have 20 jabs? Hell Yes!

In the height of Covid scaremongering I saw at least 50 medical staff outside our local major hospital on a lawned area choreographing tiktok dances for click bait. It really didn't depict what the media were showing on a 24/7 loop at all.

Which hospital was this?

Royal Stoke.

But you didn't die.

Don't you remember when the bodies were piling up?

“it is clear there were deep flaws in the way decisions were made and information provided during the pandemic.”

“He ( Patrick Vallence) said the scientists had been "wrong" to think they could apply measures such as restrictions on socialising short of a lockdown with precision to produce a manageable wave of Covid over the summer - as was the plan up to mid March”

“…because they focused solely on the consequences of doing something or not, there was no counter narrative of what those options would mean for the economy, education or wider wellbeing”
Yet it was painfully obvious to us ‘non experts’ even at the time!

“England's chief medical officer Prof Sir Chris Whitty told the inquiry he was more cautious about imposing restrictions than others on Sage, the government's scientific advisory body, because of the indirect harms they cause to mental health, deprivation, education and wellbeing”
Again, anyone with an ounce of common sense could see this would be the consequence.

“they were accused of not "following the science".
Sir Chris told the inquiry that phrase ended up becoming a "millstone around our necks".

The conclusion appears to be that the scientists couldn’t see that the impact on the economy would be massive, despite the health of a nation being entirely dependent on the health of the economy - you cannot separate the two.

Exactly. A robust response is a good thing.

Exactly the same as my experience ....

Plus

I do know one anti vaxxer friend, no health issues, late 40s, intensive care from covid, myocarditis. It being more likely from covid than the vaccine. Thankfully recovered.
The other anti vaxxer died after getting covid. Can't ask them if they regret it. Late 50s.
But, as we are quoting anecdotal examples instead of statistal, peer reviewed evidence, thought I would throw it in....
Thanks
