Free Covid vaccines

The entitlement for free Covid vaccines has progressedly shrunk, with the spring 2024 availability being the smallest. Privately purchased vaccines are to cost to just below £100.

Are we shooting ourselves in the foot, by being more restrictive than other countries? Certainly wish them potentially costing around £100, take-up isn't going to be very widespread, in my estimation.

Long Covid can be an awful experience. Would you be more inclined to have a free booster vaccine than pay for it?

"I've happily never had one, I definitely wouldn't pay at all. "

Even if it mutated, was far more deadly and you were more vulnerable, with health issues, or it became much more contagious and deadly and had vulnerable contacts, for example?

Maybe. I'd think about the whataboutisms if they ever happen.

If offered a free Covid booster I would take it, as I would any other reccomended vaccination.

I wouldn't pay £100 for one.

Isn't £100 a small price to pay for peace of mind and not dying from COVID-19?

People who have had 3 vaccines or more for the original variant may now be “strongly immune imprinted”.

In simple terms, another modern jab will produce a response appropriate for the old Woohan strain, not COVID-19 XBB.1.5 that it is designed for.

Same if you catch the new covid. You would be producing outdated immune responses.

The University of Washington released the study very recently.

It was a small test group but the results were clear

I’ll be interested to see it peer reviewed.

Please don’t pile on because I’m saying something that is hard to hear.

We are adults, if you don’t understand the responsibility of informed consent, this may not be the forum for you.

The reason that it's not free anymore is that the current risk level has dropped significantly. If this situation changed to a point that Covid was presenting a significant risk to public health, then the vaccines would be offered for free again.

viruses don’t work like that. They may become more transmissible but they also become more mild. It is not in the virus’ interest to kill off its host, that is why as it mutates, it becomes much less serious in nature.

Anyway, the vaccine that is given is usually the previous strain and most of us would’ve been exposed to that by the time you have had the vaccine.

Each to their own but I’m not interested in a vaccine that a) doesn’t stop you getting the virus b) doesn’t stop you from transmitting the virus c) lines the overly capacious wallets of big Pharma and their very, very dodgy track record.

If your immune system doesn't recognise the pathogen through its memory cells, then it'll simply start afresh.

Mate, you really really need to stop spreading misinformation here.

Anyone can see from a mile that you don’t know what you’re talking about. You come up every week with a new “study” that you don’t understand, spreading fear of vaccinations.

What comes to you, other than having a bit of attention, I honestly don’t know.

Covid vaccines are very safe. There is no evidence whatsoever that they do any damage to your immune system and if that was true, given the number of vaccinated people in the world you would see a massacre. Which is not happening.

Stop lying.

Not really about the "Person" having any kind of "Vaccine" though or should they pay or not it's about protecting others though and each and every vaccine has some kind of % take up in where when it's reached the general population is considered safe from whatever virus/disease ? and so slows down the spread to others ? and so when did the selfish gene kick in ? and where did all these "Experts" come from the ones who no doubt did paper spit balls or such similiar things during the "Boring Science Lessons" exactly come from ?? and watching afew youtube videos is no basis for basing anyone's opinion or opinions on ?

I'd definitely be more inclined to get a free booster as £100 is a lot of money for a lot of people.

I qualify for free flu jabs so would likely continue to be offered a free COVID booster anyway.

One thing I noticed this winter compared to the previous, is that it wasn't as easy to get the COVID booster. 22/23 I was able to go into my local pharmacy, scan a QR code to fill in a few details, and get flu and COVID jabs there and then.

This winter when I asked about getting both it was a no. I'd have to book it at one of 2 places like Boots or somewhere further out, or at my gp surgery.

I'm so much more likely to do something if I can get it as a walk in. Making plans more than a couple of days in advance rarely works out because my health is so unreliable - ironically, made much worse from having severe COVID in October 2020.

..yes it's been getting harder. We have more and more things to check now when we get people coming for their vaccines.

Luckily my disabled ( immune compromised) daughter will still get offered a free one but if not for her I would pay for it. X

I felt horrendous after every flu jab I have had. Only felt after the first covid jab nothing after the booster. Never had the flu but as bad I felt after my flu jabs I doubt it would be as bad as actual flu i.e wasn't bed ridden for a couple of weeks.

If you had the flu you'd have been wiped out for up to two weeks and probably unable to get out of bed at all for the first two or three days otherwise you probably had a cold.

Typically the NHS contact those of us who are eligible directly, encouraging us to book our vaccinations. I don't know whether the spring booster invites have started yet but assume it will be within a few days/weeks.

For the privately purchased vaccines, I'm guessing that the volume of predicted sales/profits will probably mean that chemists will rely on people contacting them directly, though they may have some posters in their premises, promoting it. (They do this with the flu vaccines in winter).

Having worked through COVID and seen close up, first hand, the effects of COVID and the vax.

From the get go the conversations around the vax were one of caution…

Professors Yeardon, Mcullough, Malone, Bossche etal… all leading experts in their respective disciplines.

All expressed concerns about the MRNA technology..

It has, and is, been proved that unequivocally there is linkage of increased heart issues, myocarditis, pericarditis, blood clots..

Currently, Ran Paul MD-Senator has been cross examining A.Fauci about gain of function, the manipulation of viruses…

There are now law suits against the major pharma companies around the side effects…

Bodily autonomy is key and choice over force, to choose your medical treatment is crucial.

Yes they did withdraw it.. though Pfizer,J&J, Moderna did and they have all been linked to the above side effects i mentioned…

Sadly none of them stopped transition or COVID, as was stated by Professor Bossche, you do not introduce a vax half way through a pandemic as it will have nil effect..

"Having worked through COVID and seen close up, first hand, the effects of COVID and the vax.

From the get go the conversations around the vax were one of caution…

Professors Yeardon, Mcullough, Malone, Bossche etal… all leading experts in their respective disciplines.

All expressed concerns about the MRNA technology..

So long as you remember that if you catch it or flu you have good grace to avoid an NHS bed and go to Washington ststeand ask themm to care fore for you

With respect, clicking in a forum named "virus" and a thread containing the name "COVID" is a red flag you shouldn't have ignored if you don't want to hear about COVID anymore.

It's not gone, it's changed and will always be there and you have to bury your head very deep to not hear about it.

Yes, some younger people got it and had complications, etc. However, exceptions don't make the rule.

Generally, the vast majority of the population survived without any ill effects.

Those that died or had complications were a tiny proportion of the population. Relly, really tiny.

Should we focus the same amount on flu, measles, chicken pox, shingles, HIV, etc? Again, some people die from that, or get serious complications.

This focus on covid is just over the top.

did you miss the numbers dying each week from covid at the height.. what about those now suffering long term affects from covid.

And I suppose it's okay that it just killed those already poorly

We do focus the same on Flu, measles, chicken pox and HIV. Some vaccines are normally given at a very young age and some are currently available annually. Didn't you know that ?

Did you get the "small" death numbers from the same (unreliable) sources you quoted above ? The nutty professors lol.

Precisely.

I lost a couple of friends.

Both fit and healthy previously.

One was superfit and a marathon and ultra marathon competitor.

It's unbelievable that anyone can comment it was nothing to worry about.

Same if you catch the new covid. You would be producing outdated immune responses.

The University of Washington released the study very recently.

It was a small test group but the results were clear

I’ll be interested to see it peer reviewed.

They may become more transmissible but they also become more mild. It is not in the virus’ interest to kill off its host, that is why as it mutates, it becomes much less serious in nature.

Anyway, the vaccine that is given is usually the previous strain and most of us would’ve been exposed to that by the time you have had the vaccine.

Each to their own but I’m not interested in a vaccine that a) doesn’t stop you getting the virus b) doesn’t stop you from transmitting the virus c) lines the overly capacious wallets of big Pharma and their very, very dodgy track record. "

Sadly that is not what I understand from these studies.

Apparently your immune system has no reason to start afresh because it mis-recognises the infection.

All future covid immune responses are alpha specific, fixed.

As to the vaccine, most of us had already had covid, the majority of those cases asymptomatic so the population already had developed immunity before being jabbed.

Didn't you state it was a small study? It's possibly an anomaly. Think about cancer. In its simplest terms cell regeneration is skipping a step in its sequencing. This could be the same (missing a step). Until more and more evidence comes to light, we cannot ascribe this study to state this happens to everyone.

The opportune thing about this pandemic is that we have the potential to further our knowledge about immunology.

Those who were with the virus forum from the very start, and the other forums as the spread of covid was starting but before there even was a virus section, may remember that I was graphing and predicting numbers of cases and numbers of deaths. You don't need to take my word for it, on the normal computer version of the website (but sadly not the phone app version of fab) you can access the archives of every forum post ever made. So everything I said is recorded history. Likewise all the actual statistics of cases, deaths etc are available online through reputable sites (ie. not youtube tosh) even though our caring western governments would like to hide the info as it shows them in a bad light.

Basically, it's recorded fact that I was right in everything I said. Covid did spread faster than any other disease in recorded history, it has had chance to mutate more and more quickly than any other virus in history (purely because of the number of hosts and the speed of spread), it did kill a phenomenal number of people, and it is still causing untold harm. It is not yet clear what the long term effects might be on every person who has been infected at any time with covid - hiv takes five years to convert into aids and kill 100% of those infected (in the absence of hiv drugs which took 20 years to develop) - although reseach seems to indicate that covid, like hiv, does manage to hide and stay resident within the body in most people even after an apparent full recovery from infection, and of course there are no current drugs for treating whatever possible eventual damage. It is certainly clear that in at least a small number of "long covid" sufferers (but a high percentage of those who have actually been studied to the required level) there is evidence of immune system deterioration at least as bad as aids patients.

I don't claim to be an expert on all the science, but I am math capable and can critically evaluate sources to separate informed research from fantasy or even malicious snake oil peddling.

Long story short, listen to Polly, she is right. Ignore all covid minimisers, they are talking through their arses.

There were a total of 607,922 deaths registered in England and Wales in 2020. Of these deaths 81,795 involved COVID-19 (13.5% of all deaths), of which 73,766 were due to COVID-19 (12.1% of all deaths). The first death involving COVID-19 was registered on 9 March 2020 lockdowns obviously limited the deaths

So roughly three times the number who died from flu and pneumonia in 2017 without lockdowns

So them numbers as any other numbers tell us absolutely naff all beacuse we will never know if it were with or from covid wether lockdowns helped or didnt wether with or without vaccines made a difference. Did numbers slow because of vaccines or were it naturual immunity or even the most at risk had already sadly passed i dont think and studying data or graphs will ever tell you this i tried for months and gave up

What you need to look at is a graph of deaths from Jan 2020 to Jan 2024

Mark points at start and end of lockdowns and introduction of vaccines and you'll see immediately how both worked

If you really want you can look at flu deaths for a 4 year period prior to COVID, if I recall 2018 was a really bad year with an Aussie variant.

Is that all cause deaths?

Far less driving through lockdown. Far less road deaths, yes?

Less germs spread, yes?

Less d*unken holidays and associated accidents,yes?

As to the vaccine, most of us had already had covid, the majority of those cases asymptomatic so the population already had developed immunity before being jabbed.

How can you credit the vaccine for a disease we’d already “taken on the chin”?

Isolate reported COVID deaths and isolate reported flu deaths for the above periods.

The facts are out there if you choose to believe them.

Are you saying the vaccine is and was irrelevant?

Is the flu vaccine useless too ?

How about MMR ? Hot topic at the moment ?

If you're minded not to believe facts you'll always come up with an alternative view, none more ridiculous than some of the replies here.

That's life.

I’m simply asking questions to understand this better.

It is a forum after all.

None of this is clear cut or transparent.

And I was quite simply discussing your points, it is a forum after all."

Can you see how hard it is to claim the vaccine worked when most of the population may have already developed natural immunity prior to the jab?

We wont ever know whether deaths would be higher or lower with/without lockdowns, vaccines 2m distance masks the evidence we have has too many variables and holes

Thankfully, there's tons of good evidence. And incrementally, you can have compound benefits that can be enough to heavily suppress problems at both an individual and societal level

No. It's just another "maybe"

It's an irrefutable fact that vaccines work, how many lives they saved is incalculable but so is how many had developed "natural" immunity

It's quite simple

If you didn't get close enough to anyone to transmit the virus then you didn't.

As already stated you only have to look at the graphs if infections or deaths before, during and after lockdowns. It's not exactly complicated.

Would say that the vaccine for most is no longer needed and those who are most at risk will still get a free vaccine so all is good.

What I would like to see is the money saved ploughed into tackling the underlying health issues that cause people to become high risk in the first place but realise that is not going to happen.

Correct, and the science and governments have said this. There will be no money "saved" as none of it was planned expenditure though.

That's a lot of what-iffing tbh.

Lest we forget, we were originally told getting vaxxed would 'stop the spread' - clearly they were wrong about that, loads of us have already had it a few times and been mildly inconvenienced at best, so at this point getting jabbed is 100% for those who feel on a personal level that they need it.

Not even going to get into how many friends/family members who got jabbed and boosted actually ended off iller and/or deader than they would have been as a result of having them.

Just for context I've been vaccinated against many things, probably will again, and have no issues with the principle. But the whole CV thingy... hmm.

"Mate, you really really need to stop spreading misinformation here.

Anyone can see from a mile that you don’t know what you’re talking about. You come up every week with a new “study” that you don’t understand, spreading fear of vaccinations.

What comes to you, other than having a bit of attention, I honestly don’t know.

Covid vaccines are very safe. There is no evidence whatsoever that they do any damage to your immune system and if that was true, given the number of vaccinated people in the world you would see a massacre. Which is not happening.

Stop lying."

You’re wrong. Many cases of harm caused. Sychophantic media ignoring it. Tragic.

And, sadly the spike protein did not stay at the site of injection, it travelled to all major organs…

Wow ....

Incredibly misinformed.

Wow..."

That's not miss information. Spike proteins definitely do not stay at the injection site.

But to suggest it wasn't right is misinformation
