My sister lives in England and during a phone call she mentioned this Captain Tom and how they were all avidly following his walk. I really CBA with all the mawkish shite that surrounded it, so I told her I preferred Major Tom and she put the phone down on me........made me giggle a wee bit 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbykdy Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Anyone heard of anyone being offered a booster jab lately? Nope me neither. It hasn't just magically gone away, so, was it never that dangerous in the grand scheme or do governments think we are now no longer worth the cost/effort of a booster vaccine? Answers on a postcard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad was due one in April, probably due to his various medical ailments. I think it was just the over 75s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulnerable groups have been getting boosterized at the weekends at the Health Centre across the road since about April I'm guessing they'll be twice a year with folks like myself getting one along with the annual flu jab in Autumn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother in law got one a month or so back, he takes medication that affects his immune system so was given a Covid booster along with an industrial strength flu jag. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which do you go for? Happy to clarify, if clarification is needed. In your post that I quoted, you appeared to be asking if COVID was EVER that dangerous. That is the point I was querying, not what the situation is now. Edited July 18, 2023 by Salt n Vinegar 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The later variants of Covid were nowhere near as deadly as the early ones, over 50's/60's will likely still get offered boosters along with their Autumn flu jags. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Just been informed that the Scottish COvid 19 Inquiry begins on Monday in the building I work in. Looking forward to having to batter my way into work on Monday past a squad of Todds and Paulo Sergios. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the reason they are nowhere near as dangerous due to vaccination or would they have been less deadly even if we had no vaccine rollout a couple of years back? Genuine question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question. I don't think vaccination had any effect on the mutation of the virus, it saved a lot of lives though, and reduced the severity of illness for those who were vaccinated, before the virus had mutated into a milder form. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very bold claim that, tbh. Do you have something to back that up? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
