"News from the last week or so, points to the majority 2/3rds or so, of side effects from Covid vaccines being not triggered by the physical vaccine itself but our minds. We're mostly aware of the placebo effect, where we gain the effects of a medicine partly from our mind's influence. Unfortunately, the reverse of this can happen too, where we gain a negative result, such as side effects, that were driven by our mind. Considering that there's been a huge push, millions of messages etc, circulated by antivax groups and individuals, perhaps we should be much more concerned that the vast majority of side effects are psychologically driven and potentially those are so very high, because of the antivaxer driven agenda. " What a load of nonsense, cognitive dissonance is strong here. No matter how much you deny or put up barriers it doesn't stop it from being true. So much for caring for our fellow human beings. | |||

" Yes, this will certainly account for a some side effects. Invariably people who obsess over potential side-effects will be hyper vigilant anyway, which produces its own ‘effects’. Most people see the vaccine for what it is, ie just like any other jab, and feel a little fluey for a day at worst. | |||

You're right! If people have influenced others such that they have influenced others to have apparent adverse reactions that are seemingly side effects but are cognitively associated nocebos, it would be very sad that they have done this. You've read the research? | |||

" On the flip side, the nocebo affect also can be said for people panicking and going to hospital for what otherwise would have been a mild flu or cold. Hypochondria is the term we'd normally associate with these people. On the other points about the vaccine adverse event reporting, these are apparently notoriously known for under reporting not the other way round. So it is actually open to debate and not just to be dismissed as people being hypochondriacs regarding vaccine adverse events. Further to that, those taking the vaccine actually would more likely not succumb to the nocebo affect because they are indeed the ones who believe the vaccine is safe and effective so there is no negative mindset regarding risk to the vaccine which would usually cause a nocebo affect, more likely a placebo affect. | |||

"Not really news is it? Some people have psychosomatic symptoms from medication that they are anxious about? In the same way I'm sure some symptoms / reactions may not be reported, some may be psycho somatic. One would reasonably assume that they are investigated and reported back to the person making the report.? "we believe your symptoms/reaction were caused by...." We either believe what's typed into the yellow card system or we don't... To start filtering stuff in or out based on prejudice is not helping anyone at all. "
It's good to get valid research evidence about this phenomenon, which isn't particularly well known. It doesn't invalidate any of the yellow card reports, though could help us to understand the likelihood of actual medical issues vs nocebo events. | |||

That's where the nocebo study data was drawn from. It's also how the very slight AZ risk to younger recipients and Pfizer risk to younger men was identified. VERY SLIGHT, before you get carried away. Consequently, changes were made to which vaccine was given to whom. The placebo effect is equally important. That's why double blind testing is carried out in drugs trials. The findings are what they are without reinterpretation by those less knowledgeable and with less data. If there are genuine flaws they will be highlighted as the data is all available to check by those who know what they're looking at. | |||

I beg to differ. Too often people are told that symptoms are psychological and not physical. Do you know how demoralising it is to be treated in such a dismissive way? It’s just a way for the medical profession saying they don’t care about how you feel or why. Side effects of vaccines, medication and medical implants should be taken seriously and reported on the Yellow Card on the MHRA website. It’s the only way to draw the attention to the Government about harmful vaccines, medication or medical devices to get them removed. " I don't disagree. Any medical professional diagnosing and stating that :symptoms are psychological and not physical' would appear lacking in empathy and potentially ignoring their lack of uncertainty. Often diagnoses have a lack of certainty and they can only advise, based on their experience and from testing etc. Little can often have 100% lack of doubt. There's also no shame or diminishing of a problem, should some aspects be psychological in any way. We ideally get to increase our understanding of the psychology of health, including those aspects that influence the side effects from medicines. The potential benefits of medicines would be optimised and negative side effects avoided. | |||

"Not really news is it? Some people have psychosomatic symptoms from medication that they are anxious about? In the same way I'm sure some symptoms / reactions may not be reported, some may be psycho somatic. One would reasonably assume that they are investigated and reported back to the person making the report.? "we believe your symptoms/reaction were caused by...." We either believe what's typed into the yellow card system or we don't... To start filtering stuff in or out based on prejudice is not helping anyone at all. " It's not "filtered out". That's the point. It's looked at for trends and clusters. The nocebo effect is just one of the findings that has come out of this for relatively minor side effect reporting. | |||

"Have seen someone get hart palpitations before the needle even went in
Don't confuse common palpitations with clinically diagnosed myocarditis or pericarditis which are listed side affects of the vaccines and this is a fact."It is a side effect for a very small number of people. Your point being? | |||

I know you like to be controversial as yesterday when someone said the health workers vaccine protests were 'daft' you responded with 'just like the BLM and LGBT protests'. I did ask you why you thought BLM & LGBT protests were 'daft' but youve declined to answer. Now your making an issue about children transitioning from one sex to the other, calling it an epidemic. Is it just to be controversial? or do you have a problem with people of colour, lgbt people and those who wish to transition sex? .. Have whatever doubts you want about vaccines and epidemioligy but it isnt necessary or relevant to bring other 'issues' you may have into these conversations. | |||

"Anything but nonsense. In fact quite a normal medical issue. Mind and body are intimately connected. Stress is is an underlying cause of so many health issues. Whether we feel worried, anxious, or fearful, the body will send in stress hormones to prepare us for fight or flight. These stress hormones can also cause headaches, heartburn, rapid breathing, high blood pressure, stomach aches, insomnia, tense muscles and even fertility issues, erection problems and low sex drive, and yes in extreme examples, even heart attacks. If people's anxiety is high due to fear of any medical procedure they are at risk of such symptoms which could easily be attributed to the treatment or intervention itself, whether it's a vaccine or something else. I think it's easy to consider therefore that misinformation from anti-vaxxers could make people taking the jab more prone to such side effects - which are really stress-induced rather than vaccine-induced." I was laying in bed thinking I'm going to have a heart attack. I talked myself through it and rationalised with myself. | |||

It may not. It is up to them to decide and not you. You are not them nor are you in anyway knowledgeable either medically or psychitrically. | |||

"This is why majority of people believe covid to be so bad....They were told repeatedly how bad it was and therefore believed themselves and others to be super ill...since the office for national statistics has released covid death data, it's easy to see how the whole thing has been exaggerated. Death from covid in the last 2 yrs is just over 17thou.......pretty average figures for normal flu statistics. No flu deaths recorded last 2 yrs.....conclusion, covid is just flu" Not really. did you read the article? It refers to the majority of minor symptoms being reported and is specific to vaccine side-effects. Being admitted to ICU and intubated or dying or Long Covid are not in any way "minor". The conclusion is that Covid is as serious an illness as it was always thought to be. | |||

Positive sense RNA can act both as a genome and as mRNA. The positive sense RNA does not need to be transcribed - it can be directly translated by host cell ribosomes. Negative sense RNA must first be transcribed before the information can be translated into proteins.

The vaccine stimulates your immune system so that you have antibodies able to fight infection without first having to contract the disease. That's how most vaccines function. We all trust in our immune systems, but sometimes they need some help. Otherwise lots of people die. Hence the use of vaccines. To prevent this. It's a shame that you are unaware of this, as a "medicinal chemist". | |||

"This is why majority of people believe covid to be so bad....They were told repeatedly how bad it was and therefore believed themselves and others to be super ill...since the office for national statistics has released covid death data, it's easy to see how the whole thing has been exaggerated. Death from covid in the last 2 yrs is just over 17thou.......pretty average figures for normal flu statistics. No flu deaths recorded last 2 yrs.....conclusion, covid is just flu" It isn't. What the report said was out of the 170,000 people who have died from Covid a small percentage of them didn't have any other illness To be clear, having an illness that people live with is not always a death sentence on it's own | |||

"Yep, nocebo effect. Citation: Amanzio et al. Lancet Reg Health Eur. 2022 Jan. Don't like it? Write a rebuttal and submit it to the editor. You might need some data beyond anecdote though. Goes some way to explaining the epidemic of children believing they were born in the wrong body and want to transition to the opposite sex. There is no such epidemic, and someone being trans is nothing to do with nocebo. Get something better to do than obsessing about a tiny minority of people whose existence doesn't affect you at all. At the Tavistock Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS), the only NHS clinic for gender non-conforming children and young people in the UK, referrals have risen from 72 in 2009-10 to 2,590 in 2018-19. You'll be telling me that puberty blockers are “fully reversible” next! You're quite an individual. This is a tiny portion of young people.

" I couldn't care less of the protocol but at least I knew the PCR was diagnosing the RNA of corona virus. Positive stranded RNA clearly refers to the direction the half helix whether clockwise or anti clockwise, the enantiomeric direction so to speak. Like stereoisomers in chemistry only on a macromolecule scale. DNA is a double helix so has a positive half and negative if we go by your terminology. So you haven't a clue about PCR protocol, jolly good. And your explanation about the positive sense strand is also incorrect. It's absolutely nothing to do with isomerism. Positive or negative sense refers to the direction of the reading frame of the RNA. All genetic material is interpreted from the 5' to the 3' end. Positive sense RNA can act both as a genome and as mRNA. The positive sense RNA does not need to be transcribed - it can be directly translated by host cell ribosomes. Negative sense RNA must first be transcribed before the information can be translated into proteins. I won't explain transcription and translation because, being such an expert, you will be highly familiar. I'll be teaching these concepts, and the PCR protocol and applications of it, throughout the forthcoming semester "Do you get it on with any of your students | |||

That is not the same as "pushing it" although your determined lying to scare people about the vaccine and even denying the seriousness of the disease is clear with no evidence beyond your claim to be highly qualified in everything to do with the matter as, allegedly, a "medicinal chemist". | |||

"News from the last week or so, points to the majority 2/3rds or so, of side effects from Covid vaccines being not triggered by the physical vaccine itself but our minds. We're mostly aware of the placebo effect, where we gain the effects of a medicine partly from our mind's influence. Unfortunately, the reverse of this can happen too, where we gain a negative result, such as side effects, that were driven by our mind. Considering that there's been a huge push, millions of messages etc, circulated by antivax groups and individuals, perhaps we should be much more concerned that the vast majority of side effects are psychologically driven and potentially those are so very high, because of the antivaxer driven agenda. " The trouble with this type of story is it feeds the binary nature of pretty much all debates. It's right or wrong. It's black or white. You're provax or antivax and nothing in between. It also rather conveniently ignores the fact that our mind and psyche have huge impacts on our well being or indeed illness. So it would suggest that anything unexplainable is psychosomatic and therefore OK to ignore / discount. I would have thought we would like to investigate why so many and what is the real impact on those peoples lives and therefore how can we improve healthcare and wellness going forward. Rather than use it as yet another crowbar to divide society into pro or anti or any other groupings. It seems somewhat clumsy and overly simplistic at best, lacks any empathy and understanding or acknowledgement. Ultimately if you exercise a medical procedure on the global population once, twice, three, four times and create a narrative of fear, division hate, it can't be a surprise that some people will be affected by it. If the yellow card system is not fit for purpose then perhaps they should get some school kids to improve it. | |||

So, I simply ‘imagined’ the blood clots that put me in hospital? " Has vaccination been categorically established as the cause of your clots? I recall that you said you'd last been vaccinated a number of months before the clots began. Blood clots are a relatively common occurrence in the general population and people have suffered from them for eons before COVID vaccines were a thing. Whilst it's obviously very unpleasant to have them, we should take care with correlation vs causation. | |||

If the yellow card system is not fit for purpose then perhaps they should get some school kids to improve it. " I agree that this does not imply that all unexplainable occurrences are psychosomatic. The study very specifically refers to minor side effects, and of course, "real" or not the outcome to how people feel is the same and needs to be treated with kindness. The fear of Covid (and passing it on to those more vulnerable) should not be minimised nor exaggerated. However, the fear of vaccination has been artificially exaggerated. MMR as an example that is being repeated. That had a lasting effect when there was little concern before. Some people have (probably had at this stage) legitimate concerns about vaccines produced at the rate that they were. However, there is so much legitimate information, so widely available that at this stage you have to make a significant effort to avoid it or find a way to discredit it I do not think that it is resolvable now. Beliefs are embedded and only contracting severe illness seems to bring about a change in perception. The Yellow Card scheme is fit for the purpose intended which is looking for trends and investigating potential problems. The data is being misused by those trying to prove a point for which there is minimal supporting evidence. Again, little that can be done other than to make it less accessible, which is even less helpful. | |||

So, I simply ‘imagined’ the blood clots that put me in hospital? " To be clear, the nocebo effect being described is for minor side-effects, not serious ones. I hope that you have recovered. The vaccine may have caused your blood clots. It is, actually more likely that a person would have them from an unrelated matter. That is how statistics for a population of 68 million work, but we do not live at that scale. That does not help you directly nor will it prevent you from associating the two events, even if there was no link. Your experience is a personal one. Sometimes what seems obvious is not. | |||

So, I simply ‘imagined’ the blood clots that put me in hospital? " The nocebo and placebo effects are far more subtle and complex than just imagining something and it causing a result. Colours of medication affect results; verbal and non-verbal communication affect results - medics, package leaflets, media stories; our prior experience and knowledge affect results, etc. Much of these effects are outside of our awareness. They can involve biochemical processes and are still little understood. They do highlight the power of our mind and body very well though. | |||

No flu deaths recorded last 2 yrs.....conclusion, covid is just fluThis ."This nonsense is what you get when people don’t understand the first thing about the ‘data’ that are ‘analysing’. It’s true to say that Covid has been identified as the only cause of death in around 17,000 people. When that statistic is being quoted as some sort of indicator that Covid isn’t a risk for many people, it doesn’t recognise (for reasons of ignorance or deceit) is that in all the other 150,000+ deaths, Covid was the cause of death. Someone with asthma who dies because they contracted Covid wasn’t killed by asthma, they were killed by Covid. Someone with an ageing heart who does because they contracted Covid wasn’t killed by an ageing heart, they were killed by Covid. Most younger and middle aged people also don’t realise that they can have undiagnosed underlying health issues that they won’t find out about until they age, or Covid causes it to become serious. As an example, the vast majority of the over 50s who consider themselves healthy will have a health issue not deemed serious on its own that would be noted as an underlying health issue if they become ill from Covid, and as a consequence could be fatal. | |||

"News from the last week or so, points to the majority 2/3rds or so, of side effects from Covid vaccines being not triggered by the physical vaccine itself but our minds. We're mostly aware of the placebo effect, where we gain the effects of a medicine partly from our mind's influence. Unfortunately, the reverse of this can happen too, where we gain a negative result, such as side effects, that were driven by our mind. Considering that there's been a huge push, millions of messages etc, circulated by antivax groups and individuals, perhaps we should be much more concerned that the vast majority of side effects are psychologically driven and potentially those are so very high, because of the antivaxer driven agenda. Nonsense! X Always thought to myself Candy Where can I find the expert advice on anything to do with Covid19 I keep forgetting they are all on here
There are a lot of these types of snidy / "witty" comments in here, which seem to try to discredit or devalue peoples personal experiences or knowledge or plain common sense. As if the scientists never get anything wrong or are the only ones permitted an opinion. We seem to be happy to transfer not just the sovereignty of our body to strangers but also of our minds.
Ain’t that the truth. “God” forbid any of us ever attempt to think for ourselves or seek to probe the accepted narrative (even pointing out inconsistencies) because you know, we are not qualified or experienced enough to question!
Despite plenty of historical precedents, THIS TIME we must just accept the narrative because...reasons! It’s different this time. You just have to trust us this time. If you don’t trust us without question then you must be a conspiracy theory nut-job! We simply do not encourage or welcome any attempt at critical thinking and will immediately do all we can to discredit you and shut you down!
Been saying it all along, tribalist binary arguments are destroying society.

This nonsense is what you get when people don’t understand the first thing about the ‘data’ that are ‘analysing’.
It’s true to say that Covid has been identified as the only cause of death in around 17,000 people. When that statistic is being quoted as some sort of indicator that Covid isn’t a risk for many people, it doesn’t recognise (for reasons of ignorance or deceit) is that in all the other 150,000+ deaths, Covid was the cause of death. Someone with asthma who dies because they contracted Covid wasn’t killed by asthma, they were killed by Covid. Someone with an ageing heart who does because they contracted Covid wasn’t killed by an ageing heart, they were killed by Covid.
Most younger and middle aged people also don’t realise that they can have undiagnosed underlying health issues that they won’t find out about until they age, or Covid causes it to become serious. As an example, the vast majority of the over 50s who consider themselves healthy will have a health issue not deemed serious on its own that would be noted as an underlying health issue if they become ill from Covid, and as a consequence could be fatal."Indeed. I'm not sure what benefit or purpose it serves knowing covid and only covid killed 17k people... When we know it has sadly touched so many other lives. It's similar to asking how many were killed by smoking and only smoking. | |||

So this is the list of top contributors taken from the WHO website
Germany
Japan
United States of America
Republic of Korea
European Commission
Australia
COVID-19 Solidarity Fund
GAVI Alliance
United Nations Development Programme
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundationn
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
New Zealand
So who apart from the gates foundation (who some people seem to have an issue with but are happy to use his software in every day life) is a problem as I see a number of different countries including our own in the list and the UN
just because a rich person donates money from his foundation doesn't mean he runs it, it's more likely that people like the UN would have more of an influence than Bill Gates who is just a rich person donating money to a health organisation because he believes in the work they do"
And who amongst us would have donated so generously to help billions around the world? | |||

"Wouldn’t surprise me, another reason the vocal antivax conspiracy theorists are actully really dangerous. They don’t appreciate the damage they can do. Simply by saying things which they don’t know about to others of the same ilk, forming a loud echo chamber. Psychosomatic issues then occur and news of that turns the volume up even louder. In his head there will be no balance, anti-vaxxers cause pro-vaxxers psychological issues :/ Same could be said of the extreme pro vaxxers. There needs to be a balance tbf. " | |||

"Yep, nocebo effect. Citation: Amanzio et al. Lancet Reg Health Eur. 2022 Jan. Don't like it? Write a rebuttal and submit it to the editor. You might need some data beyond anecdote though. Goes some way to explaining the epidemic of children believing they were born in the wrong body and want to transition to the opposite sex." Transphobic bollocks. | |||

It also means nobody is forced to see endless topics that they have zero interest in, or nothing of any value to add. | |||
