Latest virus...be cautious when out and about!

I prefer to believe the scientists and have every jab offered.
I've had covid once, mildly.

Germanshepherdsmum no flu jab either

We've had new flu and covid jabs and mask up in public.

Out of interest Biscuitmuncher, if you were diagnosed as being immunosuppressed, would you still not have the immunisations?

Biscuitmuncher

I've never worn a mask. I think they compromise your immunity

The reason I wear a mask is because I sneeze a lot and the aerosol from that can travel a long distance

On what evidence did you base your decision?

M0nica oh I bet that's lovely and healthy wearing a wet mask

Very very rude Biscuitmuncher* and very much against the spirit and ethics of GN.
I shan’t bother to report your post. You know you are out of order.

I agree, but prefer to to let others see this post for what it is.

I see (as usual) you rarely answer any of the questions asked of you Biscuitmuncher.
As Monica has already asked, what would you do if you were immunocompromised?
Would you do everything possible to protect yourself?

Monica, thank you of thinking of others, by wearing a mask.

I think goady posts are just that - goady. Anyone not wearing a mask here would have copped huge fines and if you didn’t get vaccinated you weren’t allowed into cafes, restaurants or any public places. You had to actually show your certificates. Good job they lived under a rock, isn’t it ?

Biscuitmuncher sorry to disappoint, I always carried spares.

Great riposte!

As you havent replied, it seems like you would do,

A lot of people on this site are reasonably elderly from what I can gather.

I think it is a different thing to be talking with 70 year olds to 20 year olds.

I tested positive yesterday after my booster vaccination six weeks ago. I’ve never felt so ill in my life and still feel rough.

fancythat, Biscuitmuncher never replies to any questions as to the knowledge basis for her conclusions or actions.

As they say, she has made up her mind, the last thing she wants to do is confuse it with facts.

Also, why let facts get in the way of a good prejudice.

I have seen that it is possible that the latest strain of c19 isn't easily detected by the current lateral flow tests. So it's possible that a negative test doesn't mean that you don't have covid.

The more I read about how covid affects the body in the long term the more angry I become that the government has abandoned all effort to doing anything about it. Apart from installing state of the art air filtration in parliament, of course...

Whenever I read her nonsense posts, I ask myself, if on becoming seriously ill with Covid, would Biscuitmuncher expect to receive anti virals etc or refuse treatment in hospital, because of her beliefs,?

I have said this in previous posts. My cardiologist told me he had never witnessed such devastating heart damage, as he witnessed in Covid ICU and the majority of those patients were unvaccinated.

Marydoll what about the lawsuits against AstraZeneca? Also the above average deaths. The inflammation of the heart in young people?

Biscuitmuncher, you have been asked on numerous occasions to back up your claims with scientific evidence, you never do so.
Neither do you answer any of the questions posed to you. Would you refuse treatment and anti virals in ICU?

With any drug/vaccine there will be cases of severe side effects, (including Astra Zeneca) as I know to my cost on a number of occasions. However, the alternative is worse.

Obviously you know better than the scientists and clinicians.
There is little credibility in your claims, without evidence.

Biscuitmuncher could catch covid and pass it on to someone else with fatal consequences. Would she feel any remorse? I live in fear of such people.

I got the flu jab but not the covid one this time. I am not an anti vaxer just don’t want any more covid jabs.

Exactly the same for me, Primrose

As do I!
The no-one will tell me what to do brigade.

A part of me wonders if Biscuitmuncher genuinely believes what she posts or is it done to wind posters up.

Being vaccinated or not is a personal choice. I have no problem with that.
It's the unsubstantiated conspiracy nonsense which irritates me. I make a point of researching the suitability, the side effects and effectiveness of the vaccine for people like me. It's all about about balance.
I refused Astra Zeneca and insisted on Moderna, because I knew that AZ was unsuitable for immunocompromised patients. That was because I looked at the scientific evidence.

However, there are those of us, who being immunocompromised, have little or no choice. Either we lock ourselves away or are vaccinated.

Biscuitmuncher In the past, you've admitted you're scared. I find it quite weird that you try to twist facts in an attempt to make people as scared as you are.

It worries me that people are not having a booster. The effectiveness of a covid jab wanes over a few months - hence the need for a booster, and they are also engineered to protect against the latest variants. No wonder covid is still rife. Maybe the lack of publicity about the level of covid cases gives a false sense of security?
