Well Tom Pain, I wish you all the best with your natural immunity strategy. I mean that, sincerely.
I caught covid earlier on in the year, pre vaccine, alpha/kent variant and it was unpleasant at best. I wouldn't wish it upon even my fiercest forum foes! I have had since, the double dose of Pfizer, and feel like it was the prudent thing to do both for myself and wider society. Maybe i'll catch the Delta variant, it seems to be on the rise, but i am more optimistic about the outcome of those that have been vaccinated compared to those that haven't. Particularly now the UK government have basically ploughed ahead with the "Herd Immunity" approach from the 19th. At least you agree with the tories on that one.
Perhaps my genes have mutated through the Pfizer vaccine. Seems unlikely, but you never know....

Far from just relying on my immune system, I'm boosting it by increasing my intake of vitamin c and d and have started taking CBD hemp oil! I'm well aware how big capitalism blackwashed hemp because of the competition it posed to oil in the manufacture of plastics and medicine.

Anecdotally and personally speaking, some have ended up feeling a bit rough post vaccine. But it was short-lived pain and i think on balance it was the best thing to do in the long run for both me and others i come into contact with. This is based on science that is more rigourous and robust than the stuff we read about vitamin supplement efficacy, despite the shorter time frame. No 100% conclusions from this, but i yield to the better informed experts and associated studies.
Again, please dont downplay this as "flu". While i feel more confident that any future infection i may get now i am vaccinated (on top of my earlier infection) will be hopefully milder, my first fight with covid unprotected was not easy at all. And im relatively young, and don't have any underlying health conditions. Throwing caution to the wind when it comes to a highly infectious diseases seems totally counter intuitive and senseless.

I totally get the notion of being skeptical, including about big pharmaceutical companies. I'm sure there have been cases of side effects from the vaccines beyond a dead arm, but 4.1m people have died from COVID since the outbreak began, despite huge efforts globally at restricting and suppressing the virus. We also have to consider that while the vast majority make a full recovery, many have lingering symptoms and we don't know the implications of so-called "long covid" yet.
The vaccines do seem to help greatly reduce the deaths and hospitalisations of previous waves when we weren't as protected. These are clearly supported by the huge numbers of infections that are occurring now to a highly vaccinated population (these haven't been "tweaked" to fit an agenda, its the same methods used to measure as before). It also limits the spread (but doesn't eliminate it) of passing it on to others. Many of the patients suffering now with the most severe symptoms of covid are those that haven't been vaccinated, or not long vaccinated (or just had 1 dose).
You seem to respond better to anecdotal evidence than broader studies....well I had COVID, and it was a lot nastier than any "flu" I ever previously had. I'm neither particularly old or unhealthy, and this knocked me for six. Of course we all know people who had it as well who it barely registered, and we know people who have sadly passed away from it. I am genuinely concerned for those people in higher risk groups that are unvaccinated. I've no association or affiliation with the tory government or big pharma, nor am I a medical expert. This is just my personal evaluation, based on what I have experienced and what I have learned from others far more qualified than I am.

The most recent data is that 60% of those in hospital with covid right now have NOT been vaccinated. Given that 46m people have had at least one jab, its not hard to see that the vaccine is clearly working with this latest wave.
The Delta variant does seem more transmissible though, and the vaccinations are showing around an 80% drop in infections for those double jabbed. So its still possible to catch it, but where it really does help significantly is reducing the chances of that infection putting you in hospital. 96% effectiveness against hospitalisation after 2 jabs (80% after 1).
Of course Tom, you may be right in all of this, and the 80%+ of the population that will have been vaccinated against covid could all die of some weird genetic mutation, leaving only those truly woke anti-vaxxers left in the world to run the show. It would be your ideal scenario! A new world order led by Tom Pain, Piers Corbyn and a bunch of young and dumb Love Island and Towie "stars". Good luck.....

Having said that, I might as well have posted Green Sleeves's stuff myself. Deaths can be ignored (except by the families concerned) and the effectiveness of vaccines is now known from data which are nothing to do with the companies. But infection rates still need to be kept as low as possible because of long covid, which gives another route for the NHS (perhaps very slowly) to be over-whelmed.
Given the (non-) effectiveness of AstraZeneca, you won't catch me boozing all evenng in a pub squashed against maskless total strangers.

I know you're not worried remotely about covid, I just hope it doesn't backfire on you by not having the vaccine. Maybe the gamble will pay off, but you're rather rolling the dice given how the main people now being hospitalised and suffering the more acute long covid symtoms are the unvaccinated ones. Many of whom are younger than yourself. Dying of covid isn't the only bad outcome from catching it (and that even includes those of us who have been vaccinated, as I don't want to assist the virus in further mutating).
I gather from news in US states where vaccine uptake has been slower (due to poor leadership from republican governors), there has been a sharp rise in cases, like in Florida. Even now the state governors are backtracking and urging the unvaccinated to go get it done after they see what is going on in their hospitals. Its sad how misinformation and the politicisation of it has created vaccine hesitancy, as its costing far more lives than any side-effects of a vaccine.

Although you tend to just stick to obscure insults from a bygone era, and not even bother to counter the points I made about vaccine efficacy. I guess its probably easier to just avoid facing the significant mounting evidence that the vaccines are reducing deaths and serious illness, and lob in a "Pain Grenade" to conveniently end the convo.

I may well be wrong on this but it's too early to say. The main reason for being against the Covid jabs is that they have had no long term testing, I can't see anything unreasonable about that. mRNA type vaccines have never been used on people before and I can't see the point of testing them on the entire population when the survival rate for this disease is over 99% for anyone who has no comorbidities. There's also the question of why ivermectin and chloroquin, effective remedies, have been so demonised,CQ to the extent that trials were conducted using doses in excess of the safety limit of the drug! Are the vaccines reducing the incidence of serious illness, or or is it just that respiratory disease epidemics have always petered out in this way throughout recorded history? Also they have always mutated and got more infections and less serious. I note that the American CDC is dropping the PCR test in future because it's not fit for purpose, which was so well known a year ago that even I was aware of it. It's inventor said it was useless for diagnosis, something I pointed out to howls of derision by the expert, dreamer.

mRNA vaccines have been trialed on humans for 10 years, its not like it was knocked up in the last year, and the trials have demonstrated their safety and efficacy. There has been a lot of misinformation floating around, some of which I've noted you have said, such as vaccines altering DNA....this is bogus information and long since debunked, but unfortunately has caused vaccine hesitancy (which is far more dangerous, especially as its a highly infectious disease).
We have tackled the "changing DNA" myth, the fact that it HAS been clinically trialed and tested on humans relatively extensively, and that it has clearly helped prevent more people going to hospital. As for your comments about chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine et al, these are quite strong medicines with side-effects - would you rather take these over a vaccine which has far more supporting evidence to show its efficacy and safety? They might have some benefits in treating hospitalised covid patients, but its certainly not a prevention, and are powerful drugs that can do more harm than good (unless you're treating malaria). A lot of these claims of miracle cures using existing drugs are peddled often by the right-wing. I sense this is a source of a lot of your information, and I would urge more caution.
As for your comment about questioning the efficacy of the vaccine, and suggesting that this could just be the virus "petering" out, I would look at who are the patients admitted to hospital and suffering the more acute effects of covid. These are overwhelmingly people who haven't been vaccinated, despite the fact that a majority of the population have been jabbed. If it wasn't effective, you would expect most people hospitalised to have already been vaccinated, but its the total opposite. In countries where the vaccine roll-out has been slower, covid is simply not petering out in the same way.

I wonder where the mRNA vaccines were trialled for ten years. According to wiki, moderna was the first to get a license from the MRHA in December 2020, the first in the world for humans. Perhaps they've been tested on Elvis in his lunar hideaway before that. HCQ has been around for about 80 years, so I expect it's passed it's trials by now and both wings are happy with it. The thing about strong drugs is to use a smaller dose, so a rocket scientist told me. HCQ has also been used as a prophylactic against Covid and been found very successful. It could have been used to save many lives last year but the powers that be would not allow it for some reason and have been censoring information on the subject. Don't forget, the mRNA jab has only got emergency authorisation and it's human testing is ongoing.

In conclusion, you can pop as many HCQ pills as you want, it will make no difference apart from maybe a handful of side-effects, and a possible nice benefit of reducing arthritis....
Vaccines on the other hand, appear to be highly effective in ensuring you can avoid a hospital visit or a trip to the morgue.

The staggering billions in vax profits, I imagine would be quite enough to divert attention from that direction. My worry is: are there enough letters in the Greek alphabet to cover all the variants that are emerging or will we have to suffer from the cyrillic?

I don't know why you'd want to spook others into not having it. Then again, you don't really seem the gracious or humble kind...at least not in your forum persona.
I'm no fan of big-pharma, but the vaccine push globally has been worth the billions these companies will make. I'm somewhat skeptical over the claims that Astra Zeneca are doing it at cost, but even if thats the case, they will stand to benefit from good publicity of saving hundreds of thousands of lives. If they end up wiping out half the population due to DNA mutation, then I'll withdraw my present judgement.

I would draw your attention to the situation in Israel where over 80% of the cases are fully vaxed. It may well be that they are not real cases at all but just the unreliable PCR tests flagging up colds and flu as recent comments from the CDC suggest.

On a lesser statistical note, and more anecdotal and back here in the UK, a 42 year old anti-vaxxer has died of COVID. He was a healthy individual who just a month earlier had been mountain climbing.

As a double vaccinated person myself, i still wear a mask when appropriate indoors, as I understand from the science that masks prevent me from infecting others by about 80% - this simple and totally harmless approach of wearing a mask, and having a vaccine that also reduces transmission, doesn't seem like unreasonable or extreme actions.
