Re: Covid-19 Vaccinations
Anyway.....You should all be thanking me.....
Because I'm part of a nationwide study to see if:-
(a) How efficient the vaccine is to prevent the spread of covid..
(b) Which is the best vaccine to have...
(c) How long it takes people who don't have the vaccine to catch covid.
We are divided into Four groups:-
(1) The ones vaccinated with the BioNTech Pfizer Vaccine....
(2) The ones vaccinated with the Oxford, AstraZeneca Vaccine...
(3) The ones vaccinated Moderna Vaccine...
(4) The ones who are in the placebo group who are not vaccinated at all...
I'm in the placebo group and so far so good, I haven't caught it yet...
They haven't phoned me yet, but I'm sure they will....
But basically, we are all taking part in the experiment.....

Would it be the neighbour's fault for not wearing his mask when feeding the birds in his garden, or yourself for not getting protection from the a vaccination?
I am only asking because there is strong belief that most masks do not protect the wearer, they just stop the wearer from passing this virus to others.
I had my jab just over 3 weeks ago &, although I don't feel any different, my knowledge of how vaccines work makes me feel safer, yet I never felt safe wearing a mask, keeping 2 metres apart & not letting people come into my house! The only feeling I got from doing those things was the belief that , if i did have Covid, I would be less likely to pass it to others & put their lives at risk.
You are a popular member on OFF, so maybe we are just trying to prevent you catching the virus, by persuading you to consider the vaccine!
If I have the vaccine on your recommendation and I die, how bad would that make you feel? To think that I had done something that I was dead against, but you managed to talk me into having the jab. How do you think my Daughter would feel about you, knowing she had lost her Dad? How do you think Mrs Fox would feel about you, having lost her husband of almost fifty years? I think the responsibility of having the vaccine or not, rests squarely upon my shoulders, and then there is only one person to blame....
The same would apply if I was to recommend not having the vaccine to anybody....So I don't!
PS:- Still love you though Twink....

I would never have had the the Covid vaccination, only that my youngest daughter got the Covid virus (mildly).
I also felt, my life would be restricted in the future where having had the vaccination is required.
It is totally your decision and l don’t think anyone should be criticising you or telling you that you should have the vaccination.

No one ought to be giving “advice “out !
It’s both uneccesary and patronising imo.

However, what's this about having the vaccine and then dying? Are there any examples of people who have died due to having the vaccine? That would be worrying!

Re: Covid-19 Vaccinations
HiI disagree with OGF on this one, however it is personal choice and he is following the rules.
The ones I criticise are the ones who are not following the rules about social distancing and wearing a mask.
Piers Corbyn is one such.

Foxy I know that you would never try to make others not have the vaccine, because you would let us all make our own decisions.
I enjoy placing bets though & I have to be honest. I think there is a considerably higher chance of you not dying from Covid if you have the jab, than if you wear your mask & self isolate......so get yourself ready and I will take you to the bookmakers to see what odds they will give me!
On a serious note though, I did shed a few tears for another member we lost. We never met but I still think about him now, so maybe I am trying to make sure that we don't lose another one!

I am with you on this one Twink.
My experience was not with a member of this forum, but personal in Hospital on a Covid Ward and in the same bay as me.
He was in recovery like me, his wife was in as well and he was looking forward to seeing her.
The staff had arranged to take him in his bed to see her in the afternoon when things are quieter.
He had a relapse and died.
It was only 20 minutes from us talking to the curtains being closed and him being taken out and an empty space.
These things hit home.

I think Foxy and I have known each other long enough to be able to have a discussion & still remain on good terms.
