Covid: 'Why I'm breaking lockdown rules'

The government says breaking Covid lockdown rules costs lives. But some people are doing it anyway.

Wtf? Max sounds like a twat, the other two a little less so but still risking peoples lives.

Should be an easy nick for the police

She should ask her doctor for advice if she is breastfeeding

You're right, no trials were done on pregnant women or ones who were breastfeeding afaik. The breastfeeding one is basically a risk v reward question and they've said to speak to your doctor.

cheers and cheers, i dont sympathise with the rest of them but with this, i do. A doctor can advise but surely caanot claim evidence where it doesnt exist. Yes, best to refer on, though i can see why she is worried.

My daughter is in the same boat.
The PHE advice is to speak to your doctor.

However she is several months off yet from the jab as she’s under 30.

aye, my wife's cousin got a 'jab going spare' text. i've told her to speak to her GP but i think the decision will be taken out of her hands (for a couple more months anyway) as the offer will expire before she gets to speak to the doctor

anyone got any good and reassuring links/articles re the vaccine?

my wife's family, big family, is 50/50, with half the family fine with having the jab and half of them really reticent and worried, purely because they perceive it as new, or 'untested' or 'experimental'. Actual scientific papers wont work here, and apparently i'm not getting through to them - any good resources out there?

one more - one of them is breastfeeding, i assume no real trials were done on breastfeeding, as well as pregnant women?

I'd say the fact that we are the best part of 2 months and 6 million jabs in and there hasn't been a major news story about an adverse reaction should be reassuring enough. Let's be honest the media must have been salivating at the prospect of someone having a serious reaction and would have gone into overdrive if it had happened so the fact we haven't had any stories like that should give them cause for optimism!

i've reiterated this, 'it's just too early to tell long-term effects' is batted straight back at me. to be honest ive tried, ive sent a couple more links, but i shall just give in now.

Just from googling on google scholar.

I think they're saying that there is no known mechanism of risk through breastfeeding. Although not directly measured either.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

i guess this is because they all celebrated after the game ?

Unlike every other team who all socially distance in the changing room and wear masks.

It was glaringly obvious that there was a total breach of protocol in their case. Way too many people in that changing room.
The fact is their actions have infected themselves and others. Hopefully no one ends up hospitalised because of it.

There was a head of the Royal College of Obs and Gynaecology on the TV last week saying trials on pregnant women were starting. There hasn’t been the time to do such a study yet and I think the researchers would have needed to see how trials involving other sections of the population went first.
