zackster The fucked up thing is I had my 2nd dose in June, yet I was able to get a vaccine passport that makes sense.

Along_the_Wire

Funky only a thicket wouldn’t get a booster. Do you want the government to give you a cuddle carry to the vaccination centre?

I think common sense should prevail in situations like this.

There is some new mutation in France now????

vinnyt77

zackster Yup, looks like it. Sounds too early to know anything about transmissability / severity though. Local health services in Marseille haven’t been screening positive tests for the variant so far. They’ve found a very small number of cases in ICUs that appear to be this new variant.

Have to hope it’s a similar story to Omicron in terms of impact.

A truly awful country.

Lozza G aside that is.

vinnyt77 personally would ignore - if it outcompetes Onicron it will almost certainly be v mild

Along_the_Wire COVID is basically just THE SNIFFLES

Jules72

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 it’s worth my while… given how ineffective current vaccines are, if you have had covid without any issues, I’d question the whole idea of boosters..

Governments need to force pharmas to modify their vaccines, because you can’t be boosting every 3-6 months

Funky

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.

Millsy’s COVID update. My entire family is riddled with it, but yer man Millsy is still testing negative on the lat flows. We can put this down to one basic ingredient. Minerals.

Good day

Are your arms too short to get the swab all the way up your nose??

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

I simply don’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? We’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) - it’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 ‘virtue signalling’ until recently. Now I totally understand why ‘virtue signalling’ annoys people.

alistair

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

Smallman1

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

whatever

Smallman1

Just go to your local vaccination centre and ask for a Pervázi jab. It’s an under the counter vaccination that they won’t dish out to just anybody.

Jules72

alistair that too - your side effects from the vaccine itself can be pretty bad and worse than catching omicron itself… but you’re right travelling will prob mean it’s essential
