"How much older are you now than when covid hit? About the same as us probably. It is a lot easier to blame deteriorating health on covid rather than on age so the motion proposed is that we all continue to blame the virus... " I'm in my 20s so I don't think it's age for me. | |||

"Has anyone found that they get sick more often and for longer since we exited lockdown? I've gone from having one cold per year to every few months catching something. " Exposure to viruses keeps our immune system topped up so when we face them again, they are more quickly resolved (it's the production of antibodies, memory and killer cells). Without the exposure (lockdown, masks, 2m gap), the viruses have all mutated, possibly enough for the memory cells to go: this is new. So the immune system has to start from scratch= longer and worse symptoms. | |||

Are you saying that queuing outside for the supermarket, maintaining a 2m gap (front, rear and sideways), snaking round the car park, whilst masked up, was counterproductive? Is this a new revelation? Why hasn't this been disclosed before? | |||

It is obvious these measures reduced risk of all respiratory infections. Many we could have caught but other than mild symptoms, we would not have been aware due to what I've previously stated. If a virus had mutated enough for our immune system not to recognise it, we'll be like children being exposed to it for the first time. Alternatively, the person has a weakened immune system which needs investigating. | |||

You've just repeated yourself and confirmed the mitigations put in place for COVID-19 were counter productive in reducing the risk, not only for COVID-19 but also other respiratory infections, for the majority of the population. Was Omicron was the best vaccine we never had? | |||

"The last two years I've had one upper respiratory infection after the other. In 2022 I was ill for weeks at a time with a terrible, lingering cough. At the end of October 2022 I got ill, started to stop coughing then got ill again and didn't recover until a few days before Christmas. I think I might be doing better now because of a steroid injection I had last Summer. " I'm wondering about asking for a steriod injection to make me better. | |||

The strategies worked, IE reduced risk but , yep in the long run did us no favours. If we're not old/vulnerable we need to be exposed  | |||

You are kinda going down the GBD route that repeated exposure is good for Covid when this has been demonstrated to be incorrect. Would you like to stimulate your system with Rabies, measles, Nipah or Hendra virus. Covid is still a novel virus and as a species we have not evolved yet to adapted to it yet like other coronaviruses | |||

So let's assume it's fine and get on with it, like they did when they congratulated people for being HIV positive back in the day   | |||

Call me stupid if you want, but I thought that most scientific fields were supposed to operate upon the precautionary principle, ie. if there are reasonable grounds for believing that something could be harmful, then you should act in the precautionary manner to avoid harm, until there is strong evidence that the danger either does not exist or can be circumvented. In this case there is ample evidence that Covid infection _does_ cause all manner of VERY BAD effects upon the human body. The speculation that "Who knows, it may only be deleterious for people with a certain genome" does not really give adequate grounds for deciding that it must therefore be desirable to infect as many people as possible. At best it amounts to musing "Well it might not kill everybody". Following that logic I could say "Who knows, Ebola may only be deleterious for people with a certain genome" on the basis that eg. very few people from Norway have ever died of the tropical disease Ebola, and thus that it must be desirable to maximise the transmission of Ebola throughout the global population, in order to allow the development of herd immunity to Ebola. Indeed if this logic had been used in the case of HIV (as was I believe at one time promoted by some members of the community) then the majority of the global population would have developed full blown AIDS and died at least 10 years before any effective drugs for the treatment of HIV were available. [For comparison: Total number of deaths worldwide from AIDS & AIDS related illnesses during the 43 years since the first known cases = approx 40 million (approx 930,000 per year on average, but obviously would be low in early years and ramping up). Total number of deaths worldwide from Covid & Covid related illnesses during the 4 years since the first known cases = approx 7 million (approx 1.75 million per year on average, but obviously would be low in early years and ramping up). Total number of people worldwide ever infected with HIV = approx 100 million. Total number of people worldwide ever infected with Covid = damn near everybody. Average time from infection with HIV until death from AIDS & AIDS related illnesses, without effective antiviral treatment = 11 years. Average time from infection with Covid until death from Covid & Covid related illnesses = we have no idea, but there is ample evidence of damaged immune systems and increasing illness from random diseases among those who are currently 3+ years since first infection.] And yes, it is perfectly possible that there are some people who have natural immunity to HIV, or whose immune systems are not destroyed by HIV. How lucky do you feel? Would you deliberately allow yourself to be infected with HIV, to confirm that you had the protective genome, and that thus you didn't need to use penis masks (condoms)? | |||

Polly stop the drama. What do you want to see the NHS do? If you want to continue the mask strategy, you're free to do so. " Is wearing a mask for 20 minutes really a huge inconvenience if it means preventing it spreading and the possibility someone won't die? Not that I actually would expect many people here to give a shit over such. I have seen so many cases of the profound detachment to empathy and the lack of any moral grounding here. | |||

"Has anyone found that they get sick more often and for longer since we exited lockdown? I've gone from having one cold per year to every few months catching something. Exposure to viruses keeps our immune system topped up so when we face them again, they are more quickly resolved (it's the production of antibodies, memory and killer cells). Without the exposure (lockdown, masks, 2m gap), the viruses have all mutated, possibly enough for the memory cells to go: this is new. So the immune system has to start from scratch= longer and worse symptoms. You are kinda going down the GBD route that repeated exposure is good for Covid when this has been demonstrated to be incorrect. Would you like to stimulate your system with Rabies, measles, Nipah or Hendra virus. Covid is still a novel virus and as a species we have not evolved yet to adapted to it yet like other coronaviruses GBD? As for hypotheses re what virus it is actually like, time will tell. Great Barrington declaration. As for what Covid is really like- well it causes damage to blood vessels, causes brain cells to fuse and we have already discussed it’s deleterious effect on our immune systems on a different these. It’s not a hypothesis if it’s already and continuing to cause pathology Having discussed it doesn't mean that it is the general consensus. More evidence is needed. As I stated, time will tell. Who knows, it may only be deleterious for people with a certain genome. You are making the assumption that we are already ( or have immune systems that are)adapted to Covid. We are ( for the majority of the population not)- this occurs over time for a species. It’s also already been demonstrated with Macaques and neuropathology - all demonstrated Lewy bodies ( precursor to Parkinson’s) after Covid infection. Coronavirus are instrinically virulent and immune evasive until the host adapts. Worth checking out OC43/ Russian flu/ bovine corona virus and their association- adaptation occurred but probably over decades Maybe I'm being naïve but until all evidence you propose becomes part and parcel of knowledge and treatment (think NICE -guidelines and quality standards), I will advocate how our immune systems work. There are always anomalies At present NHS concerns are for the vulnerable and elderly, hence provision of boosters for these. Call me stupid if you want, but I thought that most scientific fields were supposed to operate upon the precautionary principle, ie. if there are reasonable grounds for believing that something could be harmful, then you should act in the precautionary manner to avoid harm, until there is strong evidence that the danger either does not exist or can be circumvented. In this case there is ample evidence that Covid infection _does_ cause all manner of VERY BAD effects upon the human body. The speculation that "Who knows, it may only be deleterious for people with a certain genome" does not really give adequate grounds for deciding that it must therefore be desirable to infect as many people as possible. At best it amounts to musing "Well it might not kill everybody". Following that logic I could say "Who knows, Ebola may only be deleterious for people with a certain genome" on the basis that eg. very few people from Norway have ever died of the tropical disease Ebola, and thus that it must be desirable to maximise the transmission of Ebola throughout the global population, in order to allow the development of herd immunity to Ebola. Indeed if this logic had been used in the case of HIV (as was I believe at one time promoted by some members of the community) then the majority of the global population would have developed full blown AIDS and died at least 10 years before any effective drugs for the treatment of HIV were available. [For comparison: Total number of deaths worldwide from AIDS & AIDS related illnesses during the 43 years since the first known cases = approx 40 million (approx 930,000 per year on average, but obviously would be low in early years and ramping up). Total number of deaths worldwide from Covid & Covid related illnesses during the 4 years since the first known cases = approx 7 million (approx 1.75 million per year on average, but obviously would be low in early years and ramping up). Total number of people worldwide ever infected with HIV = approx 100 million. Total number of people worldwide ever infected with Covid = damn near everybody. Average time from infection with HIV until death from AIDS & AIDS related illnesses, without effective antiviral treatment = 11 years. Average time from infection with Covid until death from Covid & Covid related illnesses = we have no idea, but there is ample evidence of damaged immune systems and increasing illness from random diseases among those who are currently 3+ years since first infection.] And yes, it is perfectly possible that there are some people who have natural immunity to HIV, or whose immune systems are not destroyed by HIV.

Polly stop the drama. What do you want to see the NHS do? If you want to continue the mask strategy, you're free to do so. " I'd like the government to stop promoting the idea that COVID is harmless and that the pandemic ended two years ago. I'd like the government to restart collecting COVID statistics, and to acknowledge that for _some_ reason an awful lot of people are getting sick, and to promote genuine investigation into _why_ they might be getting sick, and to actively endorse precautionary measures to try to stop so many people getting sick. I'm not saying they have to instantly throw billions of pounds at this - although all these sick people are in fact already costing the country billions. But just a change of attitude would be a bloody good start. To take an attitude of "there's something going wrong, let's at least look at the possibilities" instead of the utterly mindbogglingly crazy attitude of "getting infected is good, being ill every three months is normal, preventing the numbers being counted will mean that nobody is dying or getting sick, telling people to _not_ control infections will reduce infections". I'm not being dramatic, I'm being realistic. And unfortunately I seem to be one of the damn few people in this country who is being realistic. | |||

The NHS are still not very clear whether they believe Covid is airborne ( and consequently masking is required)or we should just continue to wash our hands. Probably the most extensive study on the cardiac effects of Covid in mild cases was published a year ago and was published in the BMJ stating Those who had had covid-19 had a 72% increased risk of heart failure, 63% increased risk of heart attack, and 52% increased risk of stroke compared with controls. These NICE guidelines will inevitably change- maybe have a look at recent press releases by the German health minister as an example of a change in approach- it is coming for many more countries | |||

I've nothing against big companies so I partially agree.
However, some of the biggest companies may need a boost in sales once in a while!
Im no business man but if I was I wouldn't want to invest billions in high tech weapons without a market for them ? Equally with pharmaceutical i'd suggest a product is worth zero without any customers ?!?!?!
Pharmaceutical companies spend billions annually trying to find cures and prevention to cancers and for diseases we haven't even seen yet.
Should they stop ?
How do you create a cure or prevention for something not known?? Please think rationally about that !

"For those who are interested ( and I know the organisation gets a lot of slagging off) it’s worth going on the WHO website and looking at the great work they are doing in hot zones( zones of high risk zoonotic spillover). It is their work the directs research to potential vaccines- there are many viruses being monitored for potential changes with mutations that are pandemic potential Even in the UK influenza strains( human / avian/ swine) are closely monitored for mutations by Defra and PHE and they collaborate internationally and share genomic sequences. | |||

I read a lot about "big for profit companies", "big oil" and "big pharma" I guess it's the new buzz words but in reality without "big" companies we'd be back in the dark ages ....
They pay wages and taxes and fund the country and our lifestyles, of course the government has to create and maintain an environment for the "big" companies to flourish so I'm at a loss to understand this hate everything and everyone who makes a profit
*Typo correction
I've nothing against big companies so I partially agree.
However, some of the biggest companies may need a boost in sales once in a while!
Im no business man but if I was I wouldn't want to invest billions in high tech weapons without a market for them ? Equally with pharmaceutical i'd suggest a product is worth zero without any customers ?!?!?!
Pharmaceutical companies spend billions annually trying to find cures and prevention to cancers and for diseases we haven't even seen yet.
Should they stop ?
How do you create a cure or prevention for something not known?? Please think rationally about that !
The development of the mRNA vaccines began in the late 1980s
It was used to make a COVID vaccine
COVID wasn't around in the 1980s
Apologies if come across as inept within this discussion!
I just don't understand why/how so much development being done for unknowns? And yet let's be honest very little advancement with the knowns?!?!
Please I am not here to be condemned as wrong in my thinking nor do I seek to suggest on others.
Simply because when a virus suddenly starts to spread a vaccine needs to be developed quickly before everyone dies.
The next one could be as deadly as Ebola and as contagious as COVID so we need to be ready.
mRNA is easily adaptable and is also being used to fight some aggressive cancers.
It's really not my intention to get into facts stats etc etc ... I just go with what I've witnessed in the last few years !
You witnessed a vaccine produced to help end a pandemic.
How do you know what I've witnessed?
Like I've said I really don't wish to get into a discussion that's not open for debate! It's just an argument then xx
Sorry I'm confused
Your posting on a forum and asking questions but you dont want to discuss anything.
You didn't witness something that went on all round you for 3 years.

" Like I've said I really don't wish to get into a discussion that's not open for debate! It's just an argument then xx we should be allowed our own thoughts and I respect yours as much as they may not align with mine " So you want to question, but not get into facts and how those might answer the question? You admit that there are things you don't understand, but you don't want to hear anything that might change that? You don't want to clarify what it is that you're questioning to try to gain understanding? That seems... futile. Particularly to do on a discussion forum. Because you seem to be opposed to discussion? | |||

"Has anyone found that they get sick more often and for longer since we exited lockdown? I've gone from having one cold per year to every few months catching something. Exposure to viruses keeps our immune system topped up so when we face them again, they are more quickly resolved (it's the production of antibodies, memory and killer cells). Without the exposure (lockdown, masks, 2m gap), the viruses have all mutated, possibly enough for the memory cells to go: this is new. So the immune system has to start from scratch= longer and worse symptoms. What? Are you saying that queuing outside for the supermarket, maintaining a 2m gap (front, rear and sideways), snaking round the car park, whilst masked up, was counterproductive? Is this a new revelation? Why hasn't this been disclosed before?" Sshhhh You’ll destroy the official narrative | |||

Without the exposure (lockdown, masks, 2m gap), the viruses have all mutated, possibly enough for the memory cells to go: this is new. So the immune system has to start from scratch= longer and worse symptoms. You are kinda going down the GBD route that repeated exposure is good for Covid when this has been demonstrated to be incorrect. Would you like to stimulate your system with Rabies, measles, Nipah or Hendra virus. Covid is still a novel virus and as a species we have not evolved yet to adapted to it yet like other coronaviruses GBD? As for hypotheses re what virus it is actually like, time will tell. Great Barrington declaration. As for what Covid is really like- well it causes damage to blood vessels, causes brain cells to fuse and we have already discussed it’s deleterious effect on our immune systems on a different these. It’s not a hypothesis if it’s already and continuing to cause pathology Having discussed it doesn't mean that it is the general consensus. More evidence is needed. As I stated, time will tell. Who knows, it may only be deleterious for people with a certain genome. You are making the assumption that we are already ( or have immune systems that are)adapted to Covid. We are ( for the majority of the population not)- this occurs over time for a species. It’s also already been demonstrated with Macaques and neuropathology - all demonstrated Lewy bodies ( precursor to Parkinson’s) after Covid infection. Coronavirus are instrinically virulent and immune evasive until the host adapts. Worth checking out OC43/ Russian flu/ bovine corona virus and their association- adaptation occurred but probably over decades Maybe I'm being naïve but until all evidence you propose becomes part and parcel of knowledge and treatment (think NICE -guidelines and quality standards), I will advocate how our immune systems work. There are always anomalies At present NHS concerns are for the vulnerable and elderly, hence provision of boosters for these. Call me stupid if you want, but I thought that most scientific fields were supposed to operate upon the precautionary principle, ie. if there are reasonable grounds for believing that something could be harmful, then you should act in the precautionary manner to avoid harm, until there is strong evidence that the danger either does not exist or can be circumvented. In this case there is ample evidence that Covid infection _does_ cause all manner of VERY BAD effects upon the human body. The speculation that "Who knows, it may only be deleterious for people with a certain genome" does not really give adequate grounds for deciding that it must therefore be desirable to infect as many people as possible. At best it amounts to musing "Well it might not kill everybody". Following that logic I could say "Who knows, Ebola may only be deleterious for people with a certain genome" on the basis that eg. very few people from Norway have ever died of the tropical disease Ebola, and thus that it must be desirable to maximise the transmission of Ebola throughout the global population, in order to allow the development of herd immunity to Ebola. Indeed if this logic had been used in the case of HIV (as was I believe at one time promoted by some members of the community) then the majority of the global population would have developed full blown AIDS and died at least 10 years before any effective drugs for the treatment of HIV were available. [For comparison: Total number of deaths worldwide from AIDS & AIDS related illnesses during the 43 years since the first known cases = approx 40 million (approx 930,000 per year on average, but obviously would be low in early years and ramping up). Total number of deaths worldwide from Covid & Covid related illnesses during the 4 years since the first known cases = approx 7 million (approx 1.75 million per year on average, but obviously would be low in early years and ramping up). Total number of people worldwide ever infected with HIV = approx 100 million. Total number of people worldwide ever infected with Covid = damn near everybody. Average time from infection with HIV until death from AIDS & AIDS related illnesses, without effective antiviral treatment = 11 years. Average time from infection with Covid until death from Covid & Covid related illnesses = we have no idea, but there is ample evidence of damaged immune systems and increasing illness from random diseases among those who are currently 3+ years since first infection.] And yes, it is perfectly possible that there are some people who have natural immunity to HIV, or whose immune systems are not destroyed by HIV. How lucky do you feel? Would you deliberately allow yourself to be infected with HIV, to confirm that you had the protective genome, and that thus you didn't need to use penis masks (condoms)? Polly stop the drama. What do you want to see the NHS do? If you want to continue the mask strategy, you're free to do so. I'd like the government to stop promoting the idea that COVID is harmless and that the pandemic ended two years ago. I'd like the government to restart collecting COVID statistics, and to acknowledge that for _some_ reason an awful lot of people are getting sick, and to promote genuine investigation into _why_ they might be getting sick, and to actively endorse precautionary measures to try to stop so many people getting sick. I'm not saying they have to instantly throw billions of pounds at this - although all these sick people are in fact already costing the country billions. But just a change of attitude would be a bloody good start. To take an attitude of "there's something going wrong, let's at least look at the possibilities" instead of the utterly mindbogglingly crazy attitude of "getting infected is good, being ill every three months is normal, preventing the numbers being counted will mean that nobody is dying or getting sick, telling people to _not_ control infections will reduce infections". I'm not being dramatic, I'm being realistic. And unfortunately I seem to be one of the damn few people in this country who is being realistic." I’d be very tempted to think jib jab is a bit of an issue I mean how many times in life have we been told to take multiple / is it at 6 now ? / jib jabs for a coronavirus There was lots of talk / warnings that it will affect people’s immune system and voila lots and lots of people are complaining of being I’ll more often and let’s lot go down the amount of people INCLUDING young fit Sportspeople just dropping Wake up people .. take note ….
