Managed to move my booster shot closer by two weeks, to the 12th of January. šŸ’Ŗ

    Along_the_Wire I have my booster next week but had covid 5 weeks ago.. and tbh, given how quickly antibodies (vs omicron) fade post current vaccines, I really wonder whether itā€™s worth my whileā€¦ given how ineffective current vaccines are, if you have had covid without any issues, Iā€™d question the whole idea of boosters..

    Governments need to force pharmas to modify their vaccines, because you canā€™t be boosting every 3-6 months

        Iā€™d get a booster every week if it meant I could continue to ledge it at the coalface.

          Jules72 I thought the same thing when I had full fluey aftereffects for a good three days. Imagine it was worse than most cases of omicrom. Still I have got a lot of business travel this year so needs must

              I simply donā€™t get why so many people have to broadcast that they got the vaccination or booster, except possibly in jest/in an ironic way. Can anyone explain the need to do this? Weā€™re in a global fucking pandemic, and nobody enjoys any of the measures - masks, nasal swabs, quarantine and vaccinations (along with feeling like shit for days afterwards) - itā€™s just something you have to get on with.

              The worst are these bastards on Facebook who have a frame for their profile photo announcing their vaccination status.

              I never really got this concept of ā€˜virtue signallingā€™ until recently. Now I totally understand why ā€˜virtue signallingā€™ annoys people.

                  alistair that too - your side effects from the vaccine itself can be pretty bad and worse than catching omicron itselfā€¦ but youā€™re right travelling will prob mean itā€™s essential

                    Iā€™m just looking for an explanation from someone who thinks that info is worthy of a šŸ¦¾ emote, thatā€™s all.

                    I used a yellow one, you a white one you massive racist.

                    One million cases a day now in the US.

                    Along_the_Wire Grant what is the point, the booster will only last 10-12 weeks and delta is pretty much dead now. Omicron is sniffles and the booster does very little against it anyway, better of taking vitamin c & d plus zinc to fight omicron than taking the booster esp if your under 40.

                        Just go to your local vaccination centre and ask for a PervĆ”zi jab. Itā€™s an under the counter vaccination that they wonā€™t dish out to just anybody.

                            God speed DF, donā€™t you ever change!

                            whatever Just go to your local vaccination centre and ask for a PervƔzi jab.

                            Heading down now.

                            Hold tight for feedback!

                              Funky esp if your under 40.

                              If you hadnā€™t lost Grant before you sure did now.

                                Absolute fucking bullshit. The booster gives you at least 70% efficacy - stop just fucking lying. Do you think the booster rollout might have something to do with the success weā€™re having and for most itā€™s just the ā€œsnifflesā€? Vitamin fucking C?! C being for fucking Clown one assumed.

                                    Spent Christmas day with the family. First time in two years we were all together. 3 siblings, 2 parents, 2 nieces, a brother-in-law and a partREG in a pear tree. 8 people in total. A few days later all the men(4) come down with what our mother calls ā€˜the snifflesā€™. It wasnā€™t Covid as we all tested negative. All the women are healthy. Not a cough among them. MANFLU is real!

                                      Along_the_Wire Grant Omicron is the beginning to the end to all this its time to move on. I mean if you want to keep taking boosters when the survival rate is 9.999999999999999999999999999999999999 in a year or so carry on like.
