About the safety of the vaccine

DH was one of those taking part in the Oxford trials, we do not know whether he had the COVID jab or the alternative but he has been fine.

Farview, we start getting it here from the 5th January, I got a letter this morning saying a district nurse would visit at 14.00 on the 11th.
SIL has also received his appointment.
In the news this morning they were showing flights taking off from Zaventem Airport heading for the USA.
All coming from the Puurs plant near Antwerp.
The Jannsen vaccine is also available, we might get that here as it was developed by the Belgian company of the same name, I think the location is I think near Liege.

2 allergic reactions have been reported in people who have been vaccinated.

yes two allergic reaction in the two NHS workers it then goes on to say that they both carried Epi pens because the had allergies already.....

Ah, yes.
The report I saw omitted to mention the last part! Half news.

Guess the British will be the world’s guinea pigs. Apart from the Chinese who never tell anyone anything anyway.

Surely a choice the govt has made? No one is being forced to be vaccinated

I heard it clarified on the news this evening that the 2 with allergic reactions are both NHS staff who have known allergies. Their allergies are so severe that they have to carry an epipen with them at all times so they can inject themselves with adrenaline in an emergency situation.

Unfortunately there are people who fall into that category. My friend has multiple severe allergies and cannot take the flu jag. It’s not even the ingredients of it that cause her allergic reaction.

One of her severe allergies is to latex and it can’t be guaranteed that the flu vaccine containers haven’t been in contact with latex.

It was a pity the media released the report about the 2 allergic reactions this morning without giving the full details. The 2 folk in question are no strangers to severe allergies.

Crossed posts lemsip !

Absolutely grannynannywanny it’s irresponsible reporting that will scare people for no good reason.

Sorry lemsip posted too quickly to see you’d made the same observation!

it seems an error to put people who already had such severe allergies into the first-day recipients of the vaccine. and maybe they themselves should have queried it. they are now fully recovered but with so many ill-informed rumours flying about, this is grist to their mill, the loopy-loos, anti-vaxxers, and even to the cautiously concerned.

They both worked for the NHS and they were not in danger. If you check out Dr John Campbells latest utube blog he explains exactly what happened. I'll try to do a link.

Thank you.

These reactions should have been reported but with the back ground info.

One newspaper today published an interesting but sad story about the papilloma virus vaccinations. One girl collapsed and died the following day and the papers made a big thing about this death following the vaccination with all the usual suggestions it wasn't safe etc etc. At the inquest it was revealed that the post-mortem revealed a massive tumour in her body. She could have dropped dead anytime in the previous six months and would have died within the year. It was entirely coincidenttal that she died the day after she received the vaccination.

We must be careful about assuming that because two things happen together that there is any connection between them.

with so many ill-informed rumours flying about, this is grist to their mill, the loopy-loos, anti-vaxxers, and even to the cautiously concerned

So true Welbeck
In the light of the “ loopy- loos and anti-vaxxers” I thought now might be the moment to post this:

thank you; loopy-loos indeed !
