COVID Vaccine !

[vickster]

I agree its utter twaddle/ rubbish and total brainwashing in the media. The many thousands that have died previously from respiratory diseases prior to the last 2 years were never even mentioned.

Which do you mean? Most of the common ones aren’t highly contagious

But thank god there hasn’t been a single flu case last year or this so far ...
Julie’s booked her booster ... Friday the 24th ...

"Mass Jabbing events” .. in football stadiums .... full of people wanting jabbed .... Or Targets as certain terrorist groups call them ...
Just saying .......

You are witnessing the biggest transfer of wealth the world has ever seen ... and most people have no idea it is taking place.

I’ve been around loads of infected people but never caught it. Same story with my brother & sister. We must have genes that won’t take it on.

That’s quite possible. We had this discussion at work but centered round AIDS . Some folk back in the day didn’t ever get it , natural immunity apparently. COVID might be the same but you will never know !!

FLU ......?

The R number for flu is a little over 1.

The R number for the Omicron variant is reckoned to be about 3.5

So no, flu isn't "highly contagious".

What was the last year when flu killed 100,000 in the UK?

2 metre distancing makes it rather difficult to target them with a bomb and there's enough security at most of the sites I've seen that I hope a gunman would be neutralised pretty quickly. Something to thank the anti-vaxers for?

So either you're not confident in where you read it, or ...?

It’s chain gang night I’ll post evidence in good time.

Yeah, on with the serious stuff! And kudos to your chain gang for being the first road club I've heard of continuing through winter instead of hiding under the blankets and leaving the roads to tourists and sportivers.

 

[Landsurfer]

All of my road clubs rode through the winter ?? !1 shorter chain gangs but we still rode ...

Akamai Edge is a similar sort of thing. Once that's involved (and if it's set up right), you've often no way of telling how many servers are really involved or where. Imagine a website equivalent of Legion from Red Dwarf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akamai_Technologies#Akamai_Intelligent_Edge_Platform https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legion_(Red_Dwarf)

As others mention, their spaceless NHS numbers were accepted... but I believe you and think such neatening might have been removed during a surge.
