COVID Vaccine !

[mjr]

Israel has started giving third doses of BioNTech for 60+. President Herzog among the first.

I had a pint of "Pfiser" beer at a recent pub stop. Can't remember who brews it.

Most people have never had flu and won't.

Apart from that, your analogy is fine.

'Most people ' haven't had Covid either.

A German nurse is being investigated for giving saline injections rather than vaccine... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-58186032

Will be interesting (not sure what else to call it) to find out what here motivation was, she claims it's to cover up dropping a vile of vaccine but they are apparently looking into 8,000 cases!

Why not here?

HSE Midwest Community Healthcare is advising parents to only register once for their children’s Covid-19 vaccination.

The HSE’s vaccine portal opened for 12 to 15 year-olds yesterday evening and appointments at vaccine centres are being reserved for children this weekend.
Parents will have to give consent for their children to receive the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine and attend with them when they’re being vaccinated.
GPs have been told they can begin administering the jab to the 12 to 15-year-old age chort immediately.

While Chief Pharmacist with HSE Midwest Community Healthcare, Louisa Power has been telling Clare FM’s Fiona Cahill that parents can register their children at their local community pharmacy from tomorrow.

Pretty sure JCVI and the Govt have explained reasoning on benefit of vaccination to child vs risk of vaccine to child?

Is that the reasoning which doesn't care if children spread it to parents and grandparents? That won't hurt them at all(!)

 

[Ajax Bay]

The JCVI reasoning has to be primarily individual centred/weighted, unless there are over-matching role aspects (care workers etc).

Where there's blame, there's a possible claim.

"The [Irish]Government says work is under way to establish a compensation scheme for anyone who suffers injury arising from one of the State’s vaccination programmes.

However Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly has ruled out setting up a specific scheme in response to any claims that might arise from the Covid-19 jab."

Son had two appointments on Tuesday: am - got his 3 A level results and pm - got his second jab. Great.
Went out to local city to celebrate and last night (Friday) informed me he tested positive, with some symptoms (LFT).
Looks like he going to get to know his room better this next week. Maybe get some pre-university course work done, then!

 

[Andy in Germany]

To try and increase uptake of the vaccine (currently 60% first vaccine and 56% fully vaccinated in our state) the health ministry has started a "vaccination tour" using a bus in Stuttgart, so people can drop in to get vaccinated without an appointment.

This is interesting, antivaxxers already existed in the 1930s, their target at the time was the smallpox vaccine

The big difference is the WWW - allowing them to find others that think the same and - worse still - others who might think the same with some persuasion

I seriously wonder how many of the people who start these dumb cults (checks spelling - yup OK ) actually believe them themselves
and how many are deliberately spreading known false information
