Bloody vaccines....who need 'em! on 14:50 - Feb 22 by m14_blue | Frustrating on a personal level but entirely understandable and inevitable on a macro one. |
Yeah, think they were getting a bit frustrated as my dad should have been a higher priority......but then Mum got offered one Saturday morning at 9am and had it that day at 5pm, with 2nd one booked in already so they are both well happy now and the end is in sight They expect to finish all adults in Suffolk by August, seems ambitious |  |

I think it’s realistic for everyone to have had at least one jab by then. Or are they talking about both? They finally seem to have learned that it’s better to under promise and over deliver. |  | |  |

Bloody vaccines....who need 'em! on 14:48 - Feb 22 by itfcjoe | On the flip side my Mum is 62 and was offered it on Saturday, whilst friends of hers in their 50s had it a couple of weeks ago. It's all a bit of a muddle, due to how the system works with smaller GPs, and the big hubs of them - the smaller ones been more nimble and flying through their patients. |
You are only talking a matter of weeks though Joe. I'm talking about the possibility of a couple of months difference. |  |

Thalidomide, of course, is the main reason why we have all the rounds of testing and research that the covid vaccine has been subjected to prior to release to the general public. It's also still in use, just in use nowhere near pregnant women. In fact, most of the dangerous substances you're citing here as your straw chemicals have forced increased safety measures precisely because they weren't subjected to the same level of testing rigour that modern medicines are. |  |

Thought you might want to know that, given your oft-voiced concerns about simplistic media scaremongering and the effects on public perceptions of fine upstanding people like George Galloway and the Ruusian president.. [Post edited 22 Feb 2021 15:38]

Why do you tend to cite things which happened a long time ago (60 years for this) as evidence against something without acknowledging all the changes that have happened between then and now? There is a point where new evidence and techniques need to be assessed on their own merits rather than seeing a historical equivalence. SB |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Well obviously if we failed to learn from our history we would be complete fools but let us not pretend that we have somehow arrived at a final destination of enlightenment. Just off the top of my head the recent recent example of the mesh related problems for women comes to mind! |  |

Definitely getting a Brexity, Rule Britannia vibe from this description. That’s a mentality about the present and the future that has infected quite a lot of our society and politics. |  |

I've not said that we have reached any such state. I could easily respond by asking why you feel things are exactly the same now as they were 50+ years ago? Science has moved on a long way since then. The issue I have is that you cite things that are over half a century old without taking into account all the thousands of successful medicines and treatments that have helped millions of people in the 50+ years since your example. It's cherry picking bad things in order to discredit new treatments that are entirely unrelated. I expect it on something like FB which is a one of the many reasons I don't go there but was hoping for more on here. SB |  | |  |

You can say what ifs and buts about anything. What's the point in scaremongering? I could get hit by a bus tomorrow, should I not leave my house? I'm not really sure what your point is. I presume you're not suggesting people don't have the vaccine, so if that's the case what do you want us to do with your pessimistic view? |  |

Once again though, you're ignoring the thousands of successful medicines and treatments to focus on something which wasn't as hoped and is being dealt with. SB |  | |  |

Post-surgical complications, particularly in urology, are not unknown and will never be. the point is, every precaution will have been taken prior to surgery for these particularly unfortunate individuals involved. Complications post surgery of any kind, particularly if if in involves something being implanted are sadly, an ongoing occupational hazard and can be far more difficult to mitigate against, particularly when rolled out on mass in a such a complicated patient group such as those suffering abdominal prolapses. It certainly doesn't justify your tedious dog-whistle antivaxxing. |  |

Yes, but the exact numbers are unhelpful as the data behind them is still limited. See my earlier post in this thread. |  |

Yeah, that wasn’t as clear as it should have been. I’m responding to the mentality you describe, and I agree with you that it’s flawed thinking. And it’s a regressive type of thinking that’s all too common nowadays in lots of areas. |  |
