Had my 3rd in December, not seen anything about a 4th yet!
 
I was unaware these were happening either but there are things about it on line.

You are supposed to be eligible for a fourth after 91 days from your third and can book one online after 61.

I am 96 days on Monday and not been contacted.

I had no idea these were being done so may call my GP tomorrow.

Chap I was at school with was a full on anti-vax conspiracy theorist who thought we were all stupid sheeple and said he would rely on his immune system.

He was taken in on flashing blues a fortnight ago into ITU and died last Saturday. His parents are also seriously ill in ITU after being taken in at the weekend.

I've never understood the 'I have an immune system' argument. People had the same immune systems in the Middle Ages when they died of all sorts of things and average life expectancy was 35. Immune systems are great, but not magic and they work best with a bit of help - i.e. vaccination.
 
When I read more deeply seems we are only doing the fourth jabs for those who are immunocompromised - eg after cancer treatment for example. As are the US. But some countries are doing them more widely. The UK is waiting for further data on how immunity wanes after the third dose before going more widely.

Interesting fact, if you took away the deaths of infants, life expectancy in Victorian times was pretty much the same as it is today. All to do with eating fresh, non processed foods by all accounts.

You struggle all day long on a 10 hour shift trying to graft wearing a mask because the rules say you have to in a warehouse and then you sit at home watching thousands getting pissed up, dancing and hugging each other at the darts with not a mask in sight and you think what the actual fuck?
 
no cigs for the masses in those days, or processed food, asbestos, internal combustion engines so hardly any road-deaths or particulates of hydrocarbons, super-bugs, shift-work rare, very few sedentary jobs....add in the millions of young people who perished in various wars, flu epidemics and the population difference...
lies, damn lies and statistics..

Haha. I guess 80 hour weeks in a pit or shovelling coal fired machinery was indeed not exactly 'sedentary'.

Suprised Mancs aren't more familiar with the horrors of the early industrial revolution. Where did you thing your great grandad grow up? Chatsworth? Or 8 to a room in spitting distance of thousands of other families in the same boat, with everything running on coal?

As I said in the data thread, the best news emanating from the stats is the almost sheer fall off in critical care admissions for covid. That’s not to say people won’t go to hospital, or that there won’t be deaths but, with the CFR of this thing is now as close to seasonal flu as makes no difference, hopefully we can all start getting on with living again.

CFR now well below that of Flu.

Well let's try and get the interpretation of the data right first. In England a 20 year old in 1841 could expect to live to almost 60. Today 80. Then if there is something remarkable we can interpret it. I think your flu epidemics or war examples are irrelevant as the comparison is 1841 to 2011. They might effect certain years, for example 1918. I doubt super-bugs take many lives.

We can make an attempt to understand the world (past and present).

“Superbugs” Lol. Superbugs are so called because they’re resistant to antibiotics. Back then there were no antibiotics and thus everything was a superbug.

Any little infection had the potential to kill. The last 3 generations of humans are the first generations in human history where infectious disease isn’t the number one killer.

That 2nd tweet in his thread is absolutely brutal and should really lead to people on SAGE either quitting, or being moved on. Time to get rid of the clearly politically motivated people that we keep rolling out. Imagine we took their advice and shut everything down over Xmas.

They're modelling has been embarrasing. So consistently wide of the mark.
