We have yearly anti-flu jabs to deal with mutations.On May 14, 1796, Jenner took fluid from a cowpox blister and scratched it into the skin of James Phipps, an eight-year-old boy. A single blister rose up on the spot, but James soon recovered. On July 1, Jenner inoculated the boy again, this time with smallpox matter, and no disease developed. The vaccine was a success.
In 1979 Smallpox was officially declared as eradicated just 183 years later I hope it doesn't take that long to rid us of covid 19 and it's variants.
The people who first extracted Covid DNA and the creators of the vaccines have worked amazingly, incredibly swiftly during the past eleven months. I just hope they’ve not become too broken by long hours to continue.
Like I said in another post, the RNA vaccines are, I think, adaptable to new strains. I just hope that we all have the stamina to continue our avoidance of situations which can exacerbate the spread.
I suspect I’ll be working online for the next year or so; so far it’s been ok though Charnwood Council have decided to bring in new regulations that require more input than I can achieve online. They’re the only Council to do this during the pandemic and it’s left me, and others, figuratively tearing our hair out.
I have to add that I’ve not visited a hairdresser since February and am having to find ‘oldie’ ways to deal with the length - I’m beginning to look more and more like a throwback to the oldies of my youth, the ones whose hair was in strange twists and knots and always escaping.
There are four strains of flu virus A,B,C and D.We have yearly anti-flu jabs to deal with mutations.
Can’t help but have some respect for the Coronas’ successes, they just don’t give up. Don’t want to be a breeding machine for them though.
Our GP next door neighbour’s had hers, so have my brother and sister-in-law. They’re still standing. No adverse reactions.I'll be last in line for the vaccine.
I'm not anti vax but I am cautious vax.
Plenty of you seem to be eager to be guinea pigs so I hope it works for you.
I am not the sort to take experimental medicines.
All you have to do is Watch the thread, and you will receive a notification when there's new activity on it.

What fills me with absolute dread is I if the new South African strain gets out here. They are saying it seriously affects the young. If that happens and we start seeing deaths in fit young people, rather then the so called expendable elderly and vulnerable, there is going to have to be a major rethink.

That doesn’t happen for me, @Robinredbreast .Only if the email notification preference is ticked, which I don't do anymore because of the constant mobile alerts
That's not the case. If you Watch a thread, you have a choice of having email notifications, plus an alert up on the top right of your browser window, or just an on-screen alert. You can also choose whether you have emails at a thread level.
You receive one alert when there is a new post. If there are 2,4 or 44 new posts since you last visited the thread, you would see one alert.[/QUOTE
I have just looked at my alert preferences and the box is ticked, so I will un-tick it, go through the rest of my preferences then re-tick the alert box and go from there

Experimental as in most vaccines are tried and tested for ten to fifteen years and no they haven't worked on this for years.All new medicines and vaccinations are experimental, if people didn't volunteer or have some faith,, vaccines couldn't be used and I wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for Insulin............. just to add, it's sensible to be a little cautious, I am, but I would rather have it.

Good but that is very short term if you don't mind me saying.Our GP next door neighbour’s had hers, so have my brother and sister-in-law. They’re still standing. No adverse reactions.
When anyone posts on any thread it automatically becomes a watched thread. We don't have to ask for this. I had no idea this thread had been moved but it has made no difference to me. I still got the alerts (top right). Emails have always been disabled.
