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.

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

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

whatever

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

Might be relief at the prospect of a reduction of risk to their wellbeing rather than a desire to showcase to everyone what a great person they are? Calling out as virtue signalling is only really a reflection of your state of mind (as you can’t know theirs).

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

This is a little closer to the line, but probably more herd stupidity than any calculated signal (an assumption on my part this time!)

I’m just looking for an explanation from someone who thinks that info is worthy of a 🦾 emote, that’s all.

Homegrove

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.

bosstrabs

Funky sniffles

LOL

Homegrove

Funky esp if your under 40.

If you hadn’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 we’re having and for most it’s just the “sniffles”? Vitamin fucking C?! C being for fucking Clown one assumed.

Smallman1

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

Heading down now.

Hold tight for feedback!

God speed DF, don’t you ever change!

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.

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 ‘the sniffles’. It wasn’t Covid as we all tested negative. All the women are healthy. Not a cough among them. MANFLU is real!

I think you’re probably right, but if you think the boosters have had no influence in the current outcome or trajectories, you’re a fucking idiot.
