Covid

Unknown insomuch as no one knew how deadly it was going to be.

The rest of it, I don’t care anymore. The vaccines might have caused 15 minute cities and cloud seeding, but I doubt it and don’t care if people think they did, so knock yourself out spouting shite.

No need to be nasty pal.
Have a good evening.
 
Was looking for a bit of solidarity as I've been walloped by this latest strain (nowhere near the one I had in 2021 pre vaccine) but in 2024 there's still some grubby, petulant neck beards posting on here (as much as I hate to use the block function, I feel it's time to finally deploy....

I had a phone call from my estate agent today and mentioned I was ill (and the first person I've spoke to in over a week - mainly because I've been so breathless and the throat is fucked from coughing).

Like me, she was a runner but after catching covid she can no longer run and is on daily steroids for her lungs.

I did manage a walk tonight, but it felt like I'd just run a half marathon. The advice does seem to suggest moving though as the muscles can soon weaken.

It's marrying that up with resting (I'm so fucking exhausted). Mood is dropping by the day so hopefully I can just walk for the next week/month.

Good news you’ve managed a walk today. Take the small gains and don’t overdo - you’ll soon be feeling stronger.
Ignore the cranks - they seem to ignore me!!

There’s a lot of truth in that Bill, the vaccines also gave people hope about what was an horrible and scary disease. But I think what really got the world back to normal was the disappearance of the worst strains of Covid to be replaced by the much milder variant “Omicron”. We were lucky in that respect. I was fully vaccinated but eventually stopped them once Omicron superseded the original variants. As did all my family and many people that I know.
My son caught COVID in the early days and is only just shaking off its effects. I’ll happily take any vaccine on the basis of risk/benefit. At the moment I don’t take the flu or shingles vaccines either but may well do so as I get older and more infirm.
As you say it’s a pity that these matters have become ideological for some. Vaccines are for the public good.

I think this is the crux KS.
I personally get very annoyed at these anti-vaxxers. And it's obvious others do, I haven't chucked any insults but I fucking well feel like doing sometimes at anti-vaxxers.
My own take is, we are the lucky one's, living in the 1st world (as it's known) with money to invest in mass immunisation and free health care, I remember the Polio outbreak when I was a kid, queueing up at the clinic in Stalybridge, how great that that terrible disease was more or less irradicated.

These anti-vaxxers should thank their lucky stars they don't live in a third world society where there were no vaccines, no free health care, people just die.
In Australia there were loads of vax left over so our Gov. shipped them over to Indonesia and places like PNG, Vanuatu etc. where they didn't have vaccines as they are poor.
We are the lucky one's.

I'm not surprised there are insults thrown at anti-vaxxers when they try to push their agenda. Fair enough if you want to believe in fairies and conspiracies but don't try to sell it, that's where they go wrong.

I don’t pay them much attention, that’s what they’re looking for. They’re dumb ………. However the more you give them attention, the more it makes them feel empowered.
 
I've had the vaccines and was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer. I don't believe for one minute that the two are linked.

It's interesting how there is a certain type of person that use the "I'm not injecting that crap into my body" line, yet I wonder how many of those people are happy to pour alcohol into their body, or eat hideous amounts of chemicals and additives in their food or smoke?

What annoys me most in the post-COVID era is how people, by and large, haven't altered their habits. Not specifically COVID-related, but I'm amazed at how many people get out of the swimming pool on holiday and take a bite of a sandwich without washing their hands - and then wonder why there's a bug rampant in a hotel.

On the mask front, we generally still wear them on flights - three or four of times we haven't since COVID, one of us has come back with a stinker of a cold that puts you out of action for a while. Whenever the four of us has have worn masks, none of us have had anything. Could be co-incidence, but next time you are on a plane or a train, just listen out how many people are coughing and sneezing around you.

And don't get me started on those who sneeze into the air without any attempt to cover their mouth and nose.

Sorry to hear about your condition. Hope all goes well pal.

You're spot on about people, whenever I'm out in the pubs, even decent ones there's still 50%+ who don't wash hands irrespective of a piss or shit seen plenty of them go back to mates in the bar and dive straight into the communal bag of crisps. Minging.

Definitely- the rise of JustEat and Uber Eat from Covid went off the scale - my neighbour must order from this every day, always seeing the moped pull up and walking down the drive way with KFC or McDonald’s- all that is pumped full of salt and chemicals with links to cancer.
Everywhere you look people are stuffing their faces with unhealthy shite.
Most festivals are full of kids taking pills and drugs.
Pubs tonight full of people knocking back beers damaging their liver.
(I partake in all the above by the way)

But yeh. The vaccine is to blame.
