I feel privileged.

But yes, I agree, all media outlets are guilty of clickbait, at least some of the time

I have the same for all news outlets such as the Mirror, Mail etc.

They are all shite so I get the apps either pre modded or I do it myself so no ads, data etc for them.

I think it’s fair for people to feel frustrated who have been triple jabbed to feel like their lives aren’t returning to normal.

those who haven’t been jabbed I could not give a fuck about.

but it’s annoying that the vaccines need to be supported by social restrictions as well again as that was not what was expected or promised.

you glibly say things like people have lost holidays and going to the pub with mates. I like holidays ,seeing mates, going the game and seeing gigs and enjoying life to the max . Interacting with humans is brilliant .

I appreciate some people are happy to stay in their bedroom and be on social media all day and cracking one off over youporn . Everyone’s life is different I suppose.

I don’t blame people being pissed off that they are fearing more restrictions on their life they have complied we have been triple jabbed . We wear our masks but….

With the vaccines, nothing was promised as such aside from efficacy against the original strain for a certain period of time, that was it. Those that think it was going to be an elixir lasting forever either didn’t pay attention or got completely suckered in by the political narrative rather than the actual one.

Personally I think it’s great news a booster of the original vaccines is as effective as it is against Omicron, even if it does need some social restrictions on top due to the transmission rate of it. One of the key benefits mentioned when the vaccines were made were that they could be quickly modified as the virus evolved, which is always what people thought would happen. Thankfully, we haven’t had to do that yet.

Queue up for your next one at the end of Jan then because that's the decay rate where the last one became ineffective, based on this sales pitch.

Yep, will book my booster when my 28 day wait - after covid - is up, early Jan. No sales pitch, couldn’t care less who takes and who doesn’t, personal choice, but JCVI were clear that vaccines aren’t perfect and they will wane over time, particularly Astra zeneca. To the point that a booster is needed after 6 months.

Surely there has to be a collection by now of ridiculous doomsday scenarios in the past 6-12 months that have been spectacularly wrong?..

I’d like to refer you to the front pages of every newspaper for the last two years.

I’m 34, healthy, triple jabbed.

I work in an industry that’s been decimated through all this (live entertainment).

I’m disgusted and furious that they’re talking about restricting our lives again.

I’m on the verge of baying for blood I’m that angry.

Fuck the lot of these charlatans.

The French had the right idea in the 1700s.

2 million infections and 6000 deaths a day. I take it that’s worldwide? What, just the UK?
Seriousiy, fuck off SAGE - your average pisspot down the local pub could come up with something more accurate!

Possibly not a fair assessment of AZ there. It could be that it is the best of the lot for T cells judging by recent research. AZ gets poor coverage and I think a lot of it is based on nationalistic/political reasons or from commercial rivals making billions out of Covid.

Please, let's try to keep political comments in the relevant thread in the politics sub forum.

Graham Medley just confessed that they model what the government asks them to model.
