Vaccine side effects

Here are some more statistics:

You must have a very narrow social circle if you don’t mix with any of the 79% of the UK population who in December were saying they would have the vaccination Yogagirl. I’m sure most of us come across people of both persuasions.

Well I did actually post before this that; the only people I know who are having the vaccine is my 90yr prev. f.i.l and my sister, and that's it. When I told my sister, she called me a few choice names and deleted me on 'Whatsapp'.

I live by the sea, very healthy bunch down here

It's good to hear there's somebody in your family with some sense.

Why have you met them?

Well, we don't know where you live so we can't, and wouldn't anyway. That sounds perfectly safe but it was raining here so no shouting across the gardens. I do wish we knew where you live, though, so we can avoid it come summer, as it's a seaside place.

What sort of sampling did they use? Was it all your mates?

I assume you mean "Why? Have you met them?"

I don't need to. I can read what you've written of your sister on here.

It’s an IPSOS poll, and there are plenty of others, all of them indicate a rising acceptance of vaccines as the only known method of controlling COVID. This one has selected randomly from members of the public worldwide, I can post the methodology as well if you would like to see it.

If I did a survey it would be 98% against having the vaccine, so it all depends who is asked. The vaccine is still in it's experimental stage, once data is gathered we can have a more informed opinion, but when will that be? Don't know.

That's true if you only distributed the polling slips to members of a crank organisation.

Here are a few more - you can sign up on YouGov to participate in the survey:

There’s also an excellent article from the European Lancet exploring attitudes to vaccination and the reasons behind them, which I found quite illuminating.

Of course, these people taking part in the surveys and writing research based articles are all my mates.

“ We are all at home, not going out, not mixing. But if I did see you in the street Monica, rest assured I would avoid you like the plague, so you're safe”

A, how would you know it was Monica
B. How very rude you are.

So you say you have a whole street of 17 houses where people are not going to be vaccinated. Have they all had the virus and recovered from it? If so, have they been told that they will not catch it again - ever? If they have not had it, or if they are still open to catching it again, they will not contribute to the herd immunity that you are relying on to protect everyone from the virus. That needs at least two people out of three to have strong antobodies to it.

Left to evolve naturally, the whole of the world's population wouldn't achieve natural defences against it for many years - decades, even hundreds of years. It needs a helping hand. The immunology experts (who have been studying every epidemic and pandemic) say that it will not happen without vaccination. How do you think that the herd immunity you are relying on will come about?

For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.^

, but you still believe that herd immunity is the way to beat this virus?

"If I did a survey . . . . . " That is why proper surveys are done randomly, and why we should check how those who took part were selected and how the questions were put, as well as how many people were surveyed. All decent surveys include those dats in the reports of their results. Surveying all your friends and neighbours is not random.

Dats = Facts - or maybe data. I changed the word without checking before posting that it was as I meant it to be.

I think, as you say you've been told you may be banned, yogagirl, that you are skating on very thin ice.

That could be deliberate, of course.

I came on this thread to learn about side effects that people had experienced as I am nervous about having it. So thanks to all those who disclosed their mild side effects or no reaction that's made me feel much better about having it.
And its ok if you dont want it as some people are anti vaccine and that's their choice.

For what it is worth-vaccine this morning, didn’t even feel the needle go on, no sore arm or shoulder, no headache, no fever!
No problems- no worse than the flu jab which left me similarly unaffected.
Do not worry about it sazz1 - like childbirth, there will always be those who make a meal of it (OK I know it’s not a walk in the park) but I mean those who will revel in it, telling everybody how much more they suffered than anybody else.

^So just make sure when posting that Lucca would agree with your post, otherwise she'll be running to GNHQ saying Miss, miss, yogagirl said this, yogagirl said that, miss, miss^

yogagirl there is a responsibility for social media platforms not to publish fake news, to quote anti-vaxx propaganda or other non-facts which, if followed are deemed dangerous.
I cannot think for one minute that GNHQ will only listen to “the gospel according to Lucca” but have adjudged your posts to breach the “false information” guidelines.
No one member has that sort of influence.

I didn’t report that one.... by the way !

Same as sazzl . We haven’t got it yet, it is about to be rolled out. The Pfizer one that is. You get nervous because you don’t want to go from feeling ok to getting a flu like illness. This thread is really good because there is nothing like it here in Australia with real people and real reactions.

DH said he had a slight headache this morning, unusual, and he nodded off this afternoon, but that's not unusual.
He felt a slightly sore arm in the night but otherwise fine so far?

Will people in care homes receive the vaccine first in Australia, nanna8?

Wow - I cannot believe that some people are STILL pedalling ill-informed crap about the vaccine! ALL the vaccines that have been licensed for use in the UK have been thoroughly tested on tens of thousands of people for safety. And yes there have been trials where some get the vaccine and some get the placebo - this is pretty standard in drug trials. This spreading of misinformation is really dangerous - do we want to get out of lockdown sometime in the next year or not???

They haven’t actually told us who will get priority ,only that they have ordered 10 million vaccines. They probably haven’t made their minds up yet, knowing them hehe

You get nervous because you don’t want to go from feeling ok to getting a flu like illness
Trust me -I didn’t and there is no reason you should either

If we are to take what Yogagirl says at face value, I can only hope and pray that no relative or friend of mine lives anywhere near her or all these people who share her views. It would appear to be an area to be actively avoided.

We are all at home, not going out, not mixing. But if I did see you in the street Monica, rest assured I would avoid you like the plague, so you're safe. Don't worry, be happy
