Boosters for Covid and flu can now be booked for those eligible, via the NHS site. They are also available privately, via other providers, such as pharmacists.

My appointment isn't until mid Nov.

Have to make sure I keep them up to date, cos I'm old now, and might get lost one day...

"Mid to late Nov are the optimal time for flu and Covid shots"

I mostly agree, depending on what's happening with infection levels - as immunity wanes and having vaccination very early may mean that catching an infection on a late winter peak, may become more possible.

Covid infections are up, based on the previous week - this may continue to climb and a winter peak may be somewhere off in the future.

How do "they" know covid infections are up? Up on what? Presumably "infections" may also go down as well as up?

There is a lot of people that a covid is still a risk to them....

Hospital admissions are rising slightly again..and it will get a little worse. Only those vulnerable to covid get offered the boosters now.

I make sure I have my flu and covid boosters 4 weeks apart

Is there any reason why only those vulnerable to covid get boosters now? Whereas 2 years ago everybody was advised to get a booster every 6 months? Do you know why the advise and availability has changed?

probably because now it is less risky for those not counted as vulnerable... but most likely money related.

Personally I'm glad everyone in my house can get it due to my daughters status.

I'm not vulnerable to Covid.

I have not had any Covid vacinnes, but I am still been offered a booster, so it's not just those who are vulnerable who are being offered them.

Healthcare professionals are people too.

Also numbers of folk presenting at GP/Hospital.

I’ve already had the current strain.

I’ve been invited for the combo jab. Mixed feelings but with frail elderly and prem babies in my family/social group, I’ll be getting jabbed.

I don't really understand what you've written sorry. My point however that assuming infections are going to go up is as flawed as assuming anything else.

Whilst eating some food got stuck in my throat and I almost died.I did my own research and discovered that I am not alone. Thousands of people suffer this every year while eating, and hundreds of those people die. Thats why I don't feed my kids. Its dangerous. Now plenty of people will point out that food supposedly "prevents starvation," and that might be true, but Its not fair to completely ignore all the dangers food poses, like this, allergies, gingivitis, and garlic breath. I'm just saying, do your own research and decide what you think is best for your kids. If you choose to give your kids potentially deadly food, thats your problem, but as a parent, I don't think the government has any right to tell me that I need to feed my kids.

Creative analogy but a little refinement but make it more similar. The analogy being perhaps condiments or the wine that goes along side the food optionally rather than all foods. But still very creative.

Will be getting the flu one but not covid jabs any more due to ongoing issues from previous jabs.

I developed Reactive Arthritis and ended up in hospital for 5 days with sepsis.

When I asked the nurses if they had seen an increase in both RA & sepsis cases they said yes (amongst other problems) and an emergency dentist also suggested that the covid jabs had left some people with ongoing issues such as those I described to him.

He said he would not be having another covid jab either!!

Makes you wonder!!

So I had some time this morning to Google around and check the government's figures. And to be honest the official numbers are so low that any decreases or increases need to be carefully thought about the story they tell.

3 months ago the number of infections reported over a rolling 7 day period was about 500 infections.

2 months ago.. That number was just over 500 infections rolling average

1 month ago it was just over 200 and

End of september the last data available was just below 400 infections. So yes based on 1 months data as summer turns to winter the low number of infections has indeed increased but it's important to understand how low these numbers are. For what it's worth the official infection numbers a year ago (1st Oct) was over 2300 ... So we now have 17% of the infections we had this time last year. Like with all "numbers" you can make them say different things. Source gov/ons.

Isn't this a problem with a lack of testing. The testing is done on a very small scale and only on specific sections of society. It's surely impossible to extrapolate such a tiny sample to the whole ofcthe UK populstion.IF we did have an outbreak of covid we probably wouldn't know til there was a sharp increase in hospitalisations with respiratory symptoms and by then it would be too late to do much.

Yes Probably. But that's the point I'm trying to make. There is no more reason for Saying the numbers are going up and we have a problem based on little empirical evidence, has no more worth than saying they are going down and we don't have a problem. It's just anecdote. Which is evidence of sorts but these threads have always had sciencey types lecturing the others about "wheres the evidence"?

And you can apply the same to the hospitalisation and deaths numbers.. Which are all on the same gov site. Interestingly since July last year the actual number of registered deaths per month has been considerably lower than the expected deaths. No clue what that says about covid... If anything at all.

I like the idea of splitting them apart, as you can identify which of them may have a reaction to it as well as miss the compound discomfort of 2, rather than just 1 at a time.

"How do "they" know covid infections are up? Up on what? Presumably "infections" may also go down as well as up?

Healthcare professionals are people too.

Also numbers of folk presenting at GP/Hospital.

I’ve already had the current strain.

I’ve been invited for the combo jab. Mixed feelings but with frail elderly and prem babies in my family/social group, I’ll be getting jabbed. "

It is my understanding that the mRNA vaccines were never designed or tested to prevent transmission and have never been shown to do so.

The media made that up and rammed it down our throats

I would welcome anyone who can prove me wrong.

Why not? Three doses are shown to fix original antigenic sin in covid. Basically the virus mutates but the immune system cannot, because of the vaccine.

Your body, your choice. Choose informed choices.

I meant why not take the additional check ups but also agree re the vaccines...we all make our own choices.

I had both of mine done this week, and apart from a sore arm (normal, but it's usually the other wrist and not the upper arm ) and some aches for a day or so, now back to normal.

Your understanding is a little out. Whilst the vaccines weren't touted as reducing infectivity, studies of thousands of people who had them showed declining rates of infections. Obviously such additional benefits amongst millions of people gave wonderful benefits to us all, including those who haven't had vaccination, as well as boosting the economy.

The Covid jab isn’t a vaccine. It’s a virus suppressant and not a very good one. It was only ever intended for the old and vulnerable. Sadly too many idiots bought the government propaganda and way too many have died as a result of having it. That’s the reality.

That's the version according to YouTube.

It's a vaccine. FACT

It's currently only available for the vulnerable so you probably needn't worry yourself too much about it.

Can you explain what exactly a virus suppressant is? Also what a vaccine is because you are definitely confused on that one. Having a PhD I think I have educated myself plenty over the years.

Starting with just the simplest first silly point, there isn't ONE 'Covid jab', there are multiple Covid vaccines - of course the MRNA vaccines are actual vaccines.

Goodness knows where you've pulled your nonsense from . It beggars belief that the places that churn out this swill pull in the gullible foot soldiers.

A vaccine will stimulate your body's immune systems to produce immunity against a potential virus or bacteria infection.

Perhaps returning to do some basic education might improve your understanding of these basic concepts.

Imgine getting multiple jabs for something that you've most likely already caught already and survived expecially after some of the information thats circulating in regards to the side effects and virtually 0 proof of any positives of having them lol.

Does it stop you catching it? Nope

Does it stop you spreading it? Nope

Does it stop you dying? Nope

mRNA therapies reduced symptoms.

Reduced is in the past tense, get enough jabs and you get original antigenic sin, this has been proven.

3 jabs have been shown to be enough to permanently fix your immune response, making it useless as the virus mutates.

Cold scientific fact.

"

original antigenic sin is an interesting theory in relation to lots of different viruses not just covid. Not been 100% proved but there is a lot evidence that points towards it being valid observation. I don't think you can say 3 or any number of vaccinations or natural infections can "fix" your immune system. Original antigenic system doesn't make your immune system useless against a mutated strain just less effective.

We have crossed wires. We know the therapy was never intended to stop infection or transmission and found not to in the manufacturers own studies before roll out.

That was a government/client media myth. A fabrication.

"How do "they" know covid infections are up? Up on what? Presumably "infections" may also go down as well as up?

Healthcare professionals are people too.

Also numbers of folk presenting at GP/Hospital.

I’ve already had the current strain.

I’ve been invited for the combo jab. Mixed feelings but with frail elderly and prem babies in my family/social group, I’ll be getting jabbed.

It is my understanding that the mRNA vaccines were never designed or tested to prevent transmission and have never been shown to do so.

The media made that up and rammed it down our throats

I would welcome anyone who can prove me wrong.

Your understanding is a little out. Whilst the vaccines weren't touted as reducing infectivity, studies of thousands of people who had them showed declining rates of infections. Obviously such additional benefits amongst millions of people gave wonderful benefits to us all, including those who haven't had vaccination, as well as boosting the economy.

My understanding is good thanks, you misread my comment and are conflating transmission and infection.

mRNA therapies reduced symptoms.

Reduced is in the past tense, get enough jabs and you get original antigenic sin, this has been proven.

3 jabs have been shown to be enough to permanently fix your immune response, making it useless as the virus mutates.

Cold scientific fact.

Look it up for yourself

as ive always said on these forums, can you give me any evidence to prove its the vaccine alone that reduced transmissions or infections, because at the same time people were also building natural immunity, also because the virus were so deadly the population dropped which will of reduced infection rates so to say "the vaccines work because numbers dropped" is a load of old shite id love to see a link or study to prove otherwisw "

The facts are the facts, they are backed by indisputable evidence of dramatic reduction, you choose not to believe them that's for you to deal with.

"Imgine getting multiple jabs for something that you've most likely already caught already and survived expecially after some of the information thats circulating in regards to the side effects and virtually 0 proof of any positives of having them lol.

Does it stop you catching it? Nope

Does it stop you spreading it? Nope

Does it stop you dying? Nope

Have we seen multiple cases of side effects and increases in heart related deaths? Yep"

Following your lines -

Does anything stop the hogswill that's not based on the scientific method? Nope, sadly

"There is no point trying to reason it out.

In fact there is no point discussing it.

Folk watch videos and believe.

Critical thinking or expert opinion don’t affect them.

Remember “Dr” Gillian McKeith? It’s like that.

Guff and pseudoscience and a lot of shouting.

Who decides which "Dr's" are guff and pseudo science and which ones aren't? Is it the ones who shout the loudest and have the biggest following? Or is it a different set of science? From different universities and different practical experiences where only one should believed and the others should for no reason other than we choose to believe someone else be labelled guff? I'm genuinely intrigued how people can be in one gang and with little critical reasoning just dismiss different "proof" out of hand.

Now thats not to say that there aren't those in social media land who have their agendas and certainly do share misinformation but I'm interested how people, lay people mostly, can label youtube and news outlets as monkey fodder when they actually use the very same outlets to share their scathing attacks on others who disagree.

You make a good point and you should examine all the evidence you are presented with and goes doubly for things you that don't agree with what you already think. If something is produced to generate click bait or is generated to be copy and pasted that rings alarm bells. The other thing is read below the tagline. A lot of, and I don't mean all, the anti vax stuff has been repeated so many times that debunking it like shooting fish in a barrel.id love to know which anti vax crap has even been properly discussed let alone debunked 😂certainly not on the tv news or radio and certainly not on social media as its just censorsed and ends up with a ban so why has it been properly debated and debunked? u can barely have an adult convo on here without some silly comment like tin foil hat wearers ect so highley unlikely to ever be a proper discussion with professionals in the industry "

Peer-reviewed published evidence, from credible reputable sources always gets intelligent discussions started.

This is off full fact:

“Pfizer was not required to test the impact of its vaccine on transmission prior to its release.”

“A spokesperson from Pfizer told Full Fact by email: “The primary endpoints of our Covid-19 vaccine study were to evaluate the efficacy of the vaccine candidate in preventing Covid-19 disease in participants who had not been infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus before they received the vaccine […]The trials were not designed to evaluate the vaccine’s effectiveness against transmission of SARS-CoV-2.”

How many months were the government and media pushing a narrative of 98% prevention of transmission before roll out?

They didn’t know and they couldn’t have known.

The government staked everything on one bet and lost a generation of debt to pharma companies that kept their mouths shut while the media shamed people who asked questions.

So are you suggesting that NOTHING on you tube is factually correct? There will be quite a lot of under graduates working on their science degrees going to be very disappointed to hear that if it's true.

3 jabs have been shown to be enough to permanently fix your immune response, making it useless as the virus mutates.

Cold scientific fact.

Look it up for yourself

Ah ha, the YouTube dictionary of medical facts

So are you suggesting that NOTHING on you tube is factually correct? There will be quite a lot of under graduates working on their science degrees going to be very disappointed to hear that if it's true. they didnt say that

So kind of comes back to the point about... YouTube as a source is trusted in some cases and not in others.? So YouTube per se is an ok source of facts?

YouTube ....trusted

Those are two words that should never be used together.

Should probably let a lot of the universities know that they should stop using it to teach their courses "

Will do

For those who want it, and believe that it will help them, it's good there is a choice for them. But I do wonder why it has been designed to only last for less than a year and further to that, I wonder if it gives the cash strapped nhs the biggest bang for it's buck in terms of improving the nations help and if for example an annual program to screen properly for prostate or breast or other more common cancers might be more effective use of tax payers money.

The parts of (any) virus which your immune system recognises change. This is how you keep getting colds and flu.

So the vaccines target the current most common strain.

Also your immune system stops bothering making antibodies for things you haven’t been exposed to, so you can get re-infected with some diseases after a time.

The NHS invest in vaccinations because it’s cheaper than treating all the sick people. Even more so when you take most productivity into account.

H1N1 bird flu is only 80% alike to covid but people who had it 14 years ago have an adaptive immune response to covid.

Antibodies take about 4 months to decline in the body after infection. T cells and B cells (adaptive immunity) take 10 months to develop after infection and may last as long as your immune system is healthy.

Women with adaptive immune mechanisms pass them to their children in the womb.

All of this comes from respected scientific sources.

Correct, most of our antibody system is inherited as is our natural immune system and it's ability to recognise and fight infections, some virus we have zero natural immunity and that's what happened with COVID.

A Flu virus is quite different from a Coronavirus

"The vaccine doesn't stop transmission "

The idea is to reduce the number of people getting seriously ill.

And if your immune system is keyed-up you stand a better chance of just fighting it off and maybe not even getting cold symptoms.

I’m caring for elderly parents, so would like to minimise the chances of transmitting it to them or becoming ill myself and so I able to help them.

They still talk about how awful it was for them when they got it.

Nobody is forcing you to get vaccinated, do what’s right for you.

As for bareback sex, that’s a false dichotomy and something I can easily control for myself.

Some disease-riddled oik randomly coughing in my face is a different matter.

yet it helps those at risk. Why are you worrying... if you are not vulnerable you won't be offered it anyway.

With the flippant comments that some insist on making, they ignore the reality that this disease is unlike their experience for many. We know that Covid can cause brain stem inflammation, potentially for over a year, as well as the very disabling Long Covid symptoms. It ravages the body very differently to a disease like the common cold.

for me personally im not anti vax never have been and im very lucky in that im healthy and not vaccine dependant, ive always said if you feel like your body needs the extra help and you think the vax with help you perfectly fine, BUT ill never forgot how i were treated and the things i were called for basically me been lucky and healthy and not needing it, tin foil hat looney, anti vax nutter, youtube drs, granny killer lol no darling just fit and healthy 👌

couple, us we him her.

I think the point is and it's something some people just don't get:

For the majority of people COVID will feel like nothing more than a cold or heavy cold.

Others it will feel like they have the flu ( anyone who's had flu will know the difference between a cold and the flu)

But there's some people who will get COVID and it will absolutely floor them ,they could be fit and healthy but if you are vulnerable to illness chances are you are more likely to be severely affected by COVID. To the point of it being potentially fatal.

So a vaccine is to hopefully reduce symptoms.

It was never about stopping the spread because that's not what it does, washing hand's, mask's and isolating was the one that stopped the spread.

Unless you have had a bad dose of COVID it's really difficult to explain how terrible it is, scary and debilitating.

Yes people can choose not to get booster, but for them and everyone keep up with good hygiene practices and if you are ill stay away from elderly people and immune compromised.

Please

"Mid to late Nov are the optimal time for flu and Covid shots

I mostly agree, depending on what's happening with infection levels - as immunity wanes and having vaccination very early may mean that catching an infection on a late winter peak, may become more possible.

Covid infections are up, based on the previous week - this may continue to climb and a winter peak may be somewhere off in the future.

How do "they" know covid infections are up? Up on what? Presumably "infections" may also go down as well as up? im guessing people have got colds and bugs its the time of year if nobody knew so doing covid tests and suprise suprise numbers are now up 😂best stock up on loo roll There is a lot of people that a covid is still a risk to them....

Hospital admissions are rising slightly again..and it will get a little worse. Only those vulnerable to covid get offered the boosters now.

I make sure I have my flu and covid boosters 4 weeks apart

Cali

Is there any reason why only those vulnerable to covid get boosters now? Whereas 2 years ago everybody was advised to get a booster every 6 months? Do you know why the advise and availability has changed? "

It hasn't changed September or October for flu and COVID people who are vulnerable every year I've got COPD and other .

Why , what's the issue??

The problem is that during the pandemic someone started throwing their toys out of the pram " you can't tell me what to do blah blah blah"

And so it grew the anti establishment militia grew in numbers posting stuff designed to create bad feelings and destabilise society.

The hard of thinking started YouTube channels watched by others easily manipulated and so it went on....

Meanwhile others done as they where told whilst politicians took the piss.

As far as creating a division in society JOB done.

So now we have people who are aggressively on one side or the other both claiming to know best.

Who's right who's wrong??

Probably in many respects both as bad as each other.

But fact is like the flu and the common cold COVID is here too stay and will be around long after we have gone.

For many like myself flu jabs,covid jabs , pneumonia are essential due to a weakened immune system.

Even a cold wipes me out for a few weeks, so if there's any chance of helping me fight it I'll take it.

So these posts ridiculing people who are having boosters is not helping anyone.

If you choose to get it that's your choice noone is forcing you.

But people really need to grow up and get over themselves.

"After all the people that i know have died from the clot shot or had effects .. I definitely ain't getting any "

Your more likely to get a clot randomly or if you catch covid than from the vaccines. They discontinued one that was found to have a very small risk of one.. yet the contraceptive pill is a much higher risk

All vaccines have a risk of side affects as do all medications... even paracetamol if you read the label can cause major issues but thankfully very rare.

Loads of people haven't died from the vaccines...

My daughter almost died from covid though.

.as she listened to fearmongers on Facebook and didn't get her vaccine. She got covid and a pulmonary embolism from it

You must know a very peculiar group of people for some odd reason, as the benefits outweigh, by a huge margin, any of the scare story effects touted on Facebook type groups, whilst the sources of them are laughing all the way to the bank

Do you think personal experience that shapes people's view of vaccination. I probably know several hundred people that have been vaccinated. No one has died from it. Only one person I know had a reaction to it and she reacts with a lot of things including other vaccinations, she had it because there was a good chance she would die if she caught covid. I know at least 20 people that have died from covid including my cousin who died a few days before his 47th birthday.

It was genuine question/ statement. Am a scientist by trade so I tend us data and evidence rather than personal experience. You get way more data points then and more likely to get a true sample than relying on personal experience.

Just my experience from people I know personally. Dozens have had the jab with no issues but 2 I know had severe problems after it, one guy I worked with had a brain swell and a young lad who is only 37 has had alopecia from it. He was told last week by his doc that it's rare but has been reported all over the world as a Pfizer side affect, unfortunately he was told his hair will probably never grow back, not a eye lash or eyebrow on his body.

All sort of strange things can make that happen too. There is footballer called Will Smallbone who broke his leg and he lost all his hair permanently.
