COVID Vaccine !

My browser ignores most such orders from servers, for security reasons.


Why order? Can still just collect them from libraries here as you ride past.

Here in the Vale of Glamorgan, there are no places holding local stocks, we have to order them. Seems a bit wasteful to me, though more convenient.

Packs of lateral flow tests and blue masks being handed out by Kingston Station yesterday. Very big stacks of both.

read yesterday that 1 out of 100 seniors in the US (65 or older) have died from covid. that's quite a perspective

What proportion of over 65s would be expected to die in any 2 year period?

hmmm, found this here: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/older-american-health.htm

no idea if these 3s are pre-covid. anyone know the math to extrapolate a correlation to the above "1 out of 100"?

• Number of deaths of persons age 65 and over: 2,117,332
• Deaths per 100,000 population:
  • 65-74: 1,764.6
  • 75-84: 4,308.3
  • 85 and over: 13,228.6

Leading cause of death

• Heart disease
• Cancer
• Chronic lower respiratory disease

a little more here but don't wnat to hijack the vax thread
https://www.americashealthrankings.org/explore/senior/measure/premature_death_sr/state/U.S.

In 2019, the leading causes of death among adults ages 65 and older in the United States were heart disease, cancer, chronic lower respiratory diseases, stroke and Alzheimer’s disease according to the National Center for Health Statistics. Research estimates that 15% to 43% of these deaths are preventable depending on the cause through lifestyle modifications in Americans younger than 80 years.

One wonders which of Boris's cronies got paid millions for designing such an inflexible system. All it needed to do was count 10 digits FFS.

I entered my Scottish NHS number in one block and there was no problem.

Hopefully good news but governments seems to be crapping it !! Probably due to time of year !

It's behind a paywall......but I'm sure the article mentioned that people who have been double jabbed with AstraZeneca vaccine, don't seem to be as well protected - the mRNA booster is needed to afford a good level of protection. I'm also sure the Telegraph said that even though it apparently causes less severe illness in most people than delta, its overall (massively increased) transmissibility means that it has a huge potential to overwhelm health services.

I'd also add that it is early days for Omicron.......and so we need to be wary of pronouncing how severe or mild its impact is going to be. Of course we could take a precautionary approach, because if it does turnout to be severe, it'll be a little late to put the toothpaste back in the tube (if you see what I mean).

It didn’t say any of that Rocky ... Ill post a screen shot.

I had my booster jab booked for a place nearly 4 miles from home, it was the closest one offered via the NHS booking system.

Yesterday got a message from my own doctors practice to say they are now offering them in the surgery.

Have now booked in there but had to do it as a 'general' appointment, and have now cancelled the original one.

No idea if I will get the jab on the day, not too fussed tbh, I'll get it eventually.

I'm not having any of them, its a total crock and you've been had. Instead I'm going to join the Tories at their endless parties and with the scientists etc. What a joke.

I’ve played my part with two. The boosters will go on for years. We’ve all been had, maybe this is satire but more people are waking up to their agenda now.

How do you figure that will help you? Scientists are telling people to limit parties but it seems some politicians and journalists aren't listening. MPs are now testing positive en masse so I would not follow them. Tonight Parliament is hosting another superspreader event, so let's see what happens next
