Investigations are being made into the deaths of 23 frail elderly patients shortly after receiving the Pfizer vaccine.
Why is the media in the U.K. not reporting this?

You don't believe in free speech then Lucca only your opinion counts or those with the same views as you?

Yogagirl there we should note the difference again: opinion and views which you are posting are one thing

Facts are quite another.

My DH is a retired vet, and at nearly 83 not able to volunteer as a vaccinator, how a younger friend of his is giving vaccinations. He has had his jab and I am having mine this week, and I am delighted!

Yogagirl you are making the same mistake as lavazza. The vaccine is injected into muscle, not a vein. Blood is taken from a vein.

I hope after your bad experience having a blood test you reported the issue to the surgery.

Yes I do realise that Monica just indicating that nurses & doctors don't always get it right.

My DD had her uterus ruptured by her midwife and could have died. Because of this my DD will not have any more children!

Yoga girl. You can have whatever views you like but posting false information designed to place misguided distrust in the vaccine is not acceptable and gnhq has previously deleted posts which spread fake information. I’m sorry if that upsets anyone but I feel strongly about this.

I think all of us have experience of poor medical practice. DD nearly died this summer because a doctor forgot to order a blood test. By the time they realised the problem, she had potentially been living under sentence of sudden death from a heart attack for at least three months. and remained in that situation for several weeks after treatment started.

My dad 85 had the pfizer one on Saturday. he did get a sudden pain in the left part of his chest after about 40 mins. Not sure if anything connected.

He seems ok at the mo apart from a sore arm.

Will be seeing him tomorrow so we will see.

We finally know. DH received the real deal, the COVID vaccination, not the alternative, in the trials he took part in last summer.

That means he does not need to be vaccinated again in this vaccination round. He has, of course, also received 2 doses of the vaccine. All we need to do is print the email he was formally sent by the Oxford research project telling him this and get it on his medical records, in case someone thinks he is a refusenik.

That is amazing MOnica. Did they tell him how long it lasts for and when he will need the next round of jobs. He did get injections, didn't he?

Good news M0nica

These vaccines were tested on NHS volunteers before Boris even announced there was a vaccine.
I know this is absolutely true as I have 2 close relations who were part of the trials. One is a midwife and the other a nurse. Neither knew if it was a placebo or a vaccine. They will be told what they had at the end of the study. They had regular monitoring for side affects and blood tests. Also the DH of one caught Covid (he's a Dr) but my relation, his wife, didnt. He was not offered a place on the trial. He has recovered now.
So to those saying it's not been properly tested Yes it has for several months.

M0nica please thank you DH for his selfless contribution, especially as I believe he’s over 70.

NotSpaghetti Mon 18-Jan-21 23:51:02

M0nica - have they tested him recently for antibodies? If not, is it something he could request?

I read today the deaths have increased to 33, but Gov. said not to be alarmed!

Thirty-three people who died after getting a Covid-19 vaccine in Norway were all over 75, seriously ill and there is no evidence of a 'direct link' between the jab and their deaths, health officials have said.

Norway's medicine agency sought to reassure people on Monday after reports at the weekend showed a number of elderly people had died after getting the Pfizer jab.

'All of these patients have had serious underlying illnesses,' the agency's medical director Steinar Madsen told Bloomberg, adding that they were all 75 or over.

Sadly these deaths are going to make the Pfizer even less popular. A lot of people were already hesitant about the way they work, different from the traditional vaccines.

grannysyb Tue 19-Jan-21 09:54:24

My understanding is that they were all frail and had underlying health problems. DH had the Pfizer last Thursday and absolutely fine. I would rather have the vaccine than take a chance with Covid.

Pfizer is said to cause impotence

Is that if you work for them or have shares in them?

Pfizer is a premier innovative biopharmaceutical company

You are saying that Pfizer causes impotence
So what is confusing about my question?

growstuff Tue 19-Jan-21 10:18:03

OMG! I've seen it all now!

How does Viagra cause impotence?

growstuff Tue 19-Jan-21 10:19:31

Who is said to claim that Pfizer causes impotence?

Only somebody with an impotent brain would think like that.

M0nica Tue 19-Jan-21 10:29:36

growstuff Pfizer put something in the water to make men impotent and then sell them viagra as a cure. Simples!
