Still doesn't mean what you think it means. For example, my ex-wife died at the beginning of January.
Governments own figures.
My mistake i was 2 years out.
You think they are hiding information surrounding the vaccine directed by……
So you believe the government (who I also think made huge mistakes just probably not always the same ones you do) are controlling the media about the vaccines. If so, is it so far fetched they are doing the same about covid, long covid, long term complications from the virus itself? They just want everything associated with covid to go away silently.The people who were coercing people to get jabbed...
As Hancock's messages show they were determined to stab the entire population using fear as the main driver no matter what the consequences were.
I think that over time we'll see far more problems emerging with the jabs.. the "safe and effective" mantra will be shown to be the biggest lie ever used on the general population.
Or paid ('rewarded') to report.Or maybe the media are simply reporting what they are told to report..?
With respect, at least you acknowledge both sides of the debate. But may I point out:So you believe the government (who I also think made huge mistakes just probably not always the same ones you do) are controlling the media about the vaccines.

As you say time will tell the long term issues with the virus and the vaccine, and there are likely some for both (as all medications can have negative side effects) - although I know where I think the significant majority will be. It’s going to be hard to find decent numbers of people that have only had one or other though to identify which is causing what issues as a significant majority have had both.
Then you should read the Ofcom mandates for covid reporting that specifically ban anything that goes against the government narrative. Although oddly they appear to have disappeared from their website... knock me down with a feather..I'm sure we've all heard of the Trusted News Initiative, a world-wide news conglomerate, conceived and founded by our own 'state' broadcaster, the BBC (that WE pay for). The TNI ensured one message came over, and one only. A message that was corrupt and wrong. We were looked in the eye by national premiers, health leaders, celebrities and Main Stream Media and lied to.
I’m sorry but I ignore any theories that rely on grand conspiracies to explain evidence or lack of evidence.
i don't 'think" it was I know it was.trange how you think all but the “official” narrative was silenced,
You're quite right, grand conspiracy indeed.I'm sure we've all heard of the Trusted News Initiative, a world-wide news conglomerate, conceived and founded by our own 'state' broadcaster, the BBC (that WE pay for).

You've got a life to live eh? Unlike others, who have perished due to our abject handling of the pandemic.Strange how you think all but the “official” narrative was silenced, and yet you still managed to find out “the truth” just by spending a few minutes on the internet. If that were true then there’s nothing to worry about because the shadow government / lizards / new world order / bankers / whatever-group-you‘ve-got-a-problem-with-this-week are inept and powerless anyway.
Anyway, it seems pointless to spar since we are convinced of our respective positions. I won’t comment on this again, got a life to live.
Odd that I recall many a debate in here and on FB then…….Debate was something that wasn't allowed on diabetes.co.uk a couple of years ago, nor indeed was it allowed on any public site, channel, (including Facebook etc. etc.)
You may consider the messaging wrong. That doesn’t mean everyone does. It’s an opinion not a fact (at this time)A message that was corrupt and wrong.
I suspect any further debate is pointless but I could not ignore your statements above that are simply not true in the black and white way you portray them.Would you have taken the jab if we had known:
It didn't prevent infection
It didn't prevent transmission
It causes an adverse reaction in 1 in 800. (Other drugs were immediately withdrawn with a 1 in 10,000 reaction. WHY?). Our (UK) National Yellow card reporting system, last time I looked there were 177,000 adverse reactions reported regarding the Pfizer jab, both by individuals and doctors on their behalf. Some of them fatalities. It is estimated that these yellow card entries are under-reported by a factor of 10.
Young people's chance of dying of covid was infinitesimal. Yet we still jabbed them, it's still recommended on the NHS website as far as I know.
With respect it’s a shame you don’t acknowledge the one sidedness and distortion of evidence that is also happening on your side of the debate. Yes there were/are vaccine issues that should be investigated. 100%. But they must be balanced against the very real risks that did and do exist from the virus. That seems to be forgotten in the ignorant comparison that it’s “only a cold”.With respect, at least you acknowledge both sides of the debate.
Ahhh. You work in the pharmaceutical industry! I claim my prize.Odd that I recall many a debate in here and on FB then…….

It did prevent infections -just not all of them
It did prevent transmission - just not all of it and if you didn’t catch it (see above) you couldn’t spread it at all
It still isn’t agreed what the level of adverse reaction is and many of these reports include very minor and short term effects as well as serious and worrying ones so the impression is distorted as much bigger than it is. WHICH effects matter not just raw numbers.
The yellow card system is potential reactions reported by both drs and laypeople not confirmed reactions. Again a distortion to not identify the difference when people are quick to want something to blame for their ‘event’ no matter how tenuous.
Whilst statistically you are right about low risk to young people it still happens when the numbers are large enough and many chose to be vaccinated to avoid/limit long term harm that wasn’t death. Death is not the only bad outcome of covid. They also choose to be vaccinated to help protect more vulnerable family members.
So yes I would have still be vaccinated knowing everything I know now and will (unless evidence or circumstances change) continue to be vaccinated or at the very least seriously consider it in future.

I am not sure if it was sarcasm you are being serious but I do not work in the pharmaceutical industry in anyway shape or form. Not sure why you think I do or if you seriously believe only those people would continue to support their decision to be jabbed. I have zero financial or other conflicting interest in any aspect other than my own personal health and that of those I love.Ahhh. You work in the pharmaceutical industry! I claim my prize.
I could refute every comment you have made, but it would be a waste of effort. I felt really, really embarrassed when I realized I'd been duped into being vaccinated even though I had more than an inkling that things were seriously awry.
We have heard one side of the debate for 3 years but it's a relief for so many people like me to be able to speak their minds without being shut down or sworn at. Thank you for that at least.
Smoking was OK - till it wasn't.
High carb low fat was OK - till it wasn't.
Untested mRNA vaccines are not OK. Natural immunity is OK.
Lockdowns are not OK.
Smoking, High carb / low fat and untested mRNA technology all have one thing in common. They were trumpeted and backed by huge money.
Oh dear, you're mistaking light humour for sarcasm. Apologies.I am not sure if it was sarcasm you are being serious but I do not work in the pharmaceutical industry in anyway shape or form. Not sure why you think I do or if you seriously believe only those people would continue to support their decision to be jabbed.

Natural immunity didnt do much for the millions that have died because of covid in the last 3 yrs has it? And unless you have a crystal ball you cannot say millions more wouldn’t have died without the initial lockdowns and vaccines? Obviously natural immunity great but it’s not enough on its own or do you consider all vaccines and public health measures pointless? Also you have to run the gauntlet of the potential repercussions of the disease (death and disablement in various forms) before you acquire that immunity. Hardly unproblematic either.
I do hear your points on things that were ok til they weren’t and the money driving the resistance to change. I’m willing to agree there may be issues we are or were not not aware of. I also agree we do need to know more. That’s not the same as running around screaming the sky has fallen and being childishly oversimplistic in making every issue black or white. Grey is where most of life exists. Also just because some of my views oppose yours doesn’t automatically mean I agree with all the actions that were taken either or that I disagree on everything you say. More oversimplification. Honestly the argument you support would do far better and be listened to by a far wider audience by making reasoned and sensible claims and not acting like tabloid headlines (or swearing at people)
I agree. I've regularly seen the points you outline made on various platforms.I'm Type 1. I had three jabs before getting Covid, then got it two weeks after my third jab. It was incredibly mild. To even call it an illness would be an exaggeration.
I then got it a second time in September 2022, which was ten months after my last jab. It was even milder that time.
I'm not really sure what I'll do in the long-term but I don't feel enthusiastic about getting more booster jabs. I feel like there is a climate of fear about Covid vaccines. The message is: If you question their safety you are an unhinged conspiracy theorist.
We're allowed to talk about the contraceptive pill having dodgy side-effects and it's right that we are. We can't we talk about dodgy side effects of something else without it becoming a culture war?
I know of two women who experienced significant disruption to their menstrual cycle after the second jab. We're talking women in their late twenties with absolutely no health problems. The government messaging at the time was: If you, as a normal, healthy young person, don't take the vaccine you are putting other people in danger. We now know, scientifically, this message was absolute rubbish and quite simply a lie.
It's quite amazing how we've just moved on from this, as if it was no big deal to guilt-trip young, healthy people into taking an experimental vaccine they probably didn't need. It seems like once we decided the vaccines were 'safe and effective' any facts to the contrary just had to be swept under the carpet.
Did you look at my link? The numbers exposed to covid, eg all those poor people in care homes, means the numbers are like comparing apples and pears in stats.

My mistake i was 2 years out.
All that Midazolam had to be used somewhere though...The numbers exposed to covid, eg all those poor people in care homes,
And the message if you feel they were worthwhile is “you’re a sheep that will believe anything”. Equally extremist.I feel like there is a climate of fear about Covid vaccines. The message is: If you question their safety you are an unhinged conspiracy theorist.
