Costock_Fox 11,891 Posted 26 January Report Share Posted 26 January 51 minutes ago, dsr-burnley said: Eating rubbish doesn't cause excess deaths, really. The rate remains at one per person. People who eat healthily and take exercise still die, they just die of something else - and whatever it is we die of, it's usually something that needs expensive treatment first. The idea that we can all live healthy lifestyles with no cost to the NHS until we die in bed aged 102 - not realistic. What have I just read. Anyone saying obesity isn’t a factor here is wrong. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My eldest works in a care home so he's Group 1 for the vaccine and he got his nine days ago, no side effects. Clinically extremely vulnerable people are in Group 4 so I'm expecting to get a call sometime early next month. Looks like your area is ahead of some others. Yeah I think we're lucky down here that the rollout is progressing quite quickly. I'm Group 4 too and feel fortunate to get my first jab yesterday. I feel fvckin horrendous today though. Woke at 2am shivering and couldn't breathe with a tight chest. Up all night with the worst headache and fever ever. Feel totally zapped and no appetite/energy. Hopefully these side effects wear off soon 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you feel that they are severe then there should be a way to report them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am sure there will be some new ones popping up though. Fortunately the AstraZeneca vaccines is made in the UK, as I don't like where this EU storyline is going, wouldn't surprise me if they co-opted all production from Belgium which is providing our Pfizer doses.

Vaccine side-effects wont seriously harm you but covid could. Fortunately, give it a week or two, you're protected at the very least from a serious case of covid, and probably covid completely. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
filbertway 2,939 Posted 26 January Author Report Share Posted 26 January So I keep seeing articles about the government being confident they'll have enough supplies to hit their target...am I going mad or were there not articles a few weeks ago where the government said that we already had enough stock to vaccinate the top 4 vulnerable groups?

Corky 13,761 Posted 26 January Report Share Posted 26 January The Government are stepping up the guilt-tripping by showing people needing oxygen and "telling them you don't bend the rules". I mean, only a few months ago quite prominent people were prepared to shake their hand. Times really have changed. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Fox Covert 218 Posted 26 January Report Share Posted 26 January 2 hours ago, Izzy said: You're absolutely right of course. I'm just a big pussy and really should get back in the habit of a yearly flu jab. You probably ought to. Flu is another coronavirus and the smart scientific talk is that the flu jabs for the autumn of 2021 will include a top up to combat the latest mutations of Covid-19. This is so that we don't run the risk of a further wave of infections and tens of thousands of deaths in the winter of 2021-22. Meanwhile I was at my GP surgery yesterday and I was told that although I am not over 65 I have been put in Tier 6 for vaccination. Considering that vaccination of all the over 80s in my town was completed over three weeks ago and they started over 70s last week my turn is not that far away. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
