I can't prove it, but it feels like there's been a shift in the way vaccines being promoted by the NHS. My GP texted me to offer me the AZ one specifically, rather than just "a vaccine". To be honest, given that there's finally acknowledgement of the blood clotting problem on the BBC (they say it's extremely rare, so I reckon they'll be admitting the full scale of the problem - whatever it is - in about two weeks), the fact that the NHS has suddenly starting to recommend that vaccine by name is a little weird.
And to think, at the start of all this, I was saying that the AZ vax looked like it would be the least harmful...
Wife got a jab on tuesday. Pfizer. It was apparently a work requirement because she works at a food manufacturer (even though she's in administration rather than on the floor). She got it on tuesday, her period started the next day (which is way early) and she had a screaming headache yesterday. She seems alright at the moment. I'll let you know if she turns into a flesh-eating zombie.
Won't be getting the jab, ever, they'll have to pin me down. More worried about what it will do to my already auto-immune compromised system than anything I've seen from the Covid BS.
Talking of which...
No vaccine is perfect, and the more lethal a disease is the less effective a vaccine can be since your methods of really making a vaccine have to avoid just giving people the disease. Now, that is an over-simplification, yes, but the general rule applies.
As to the numbers, yes its shockingly small. Because they are just lying about the death totals.
I'm not real good with numbers. Statistics I'm even worse. I know, I know, I'm a dumb arse. Having said that, I read some stuff today that actually shocked me and it was in a format that was easy enough to (kind of ) understand. And quite a veracious source as well -
In the UK we have a system where you have to notify of certain diseases, because public health. They are updated every week.
In that link I just provided you is the total deaths for Covid since the beginning of 2021, so say half a year, not such a statistical anomaly I would imagine if you knew how to read the numbers.
You want to go to page 14 on each of the reports because that is where the death stats are held for Covid. Just scroll down, it's page before last. PDF docs so make sure your browser can handle them.
I will give the very most recent stats for this week, first - This is the top of the .pdf report to show where we are in the timeline -
This is page 14 where all the deaths due to Covid are found, for this particular timeline:
I will contrast this with the very first record from this year of 2021 (Jan) - again I will show the header so we can see what the timeframe is:
And here are the deaths that were counted in that week:
And then you have all the data inbetween.
I keep hearing of 'thousands of deaths'. Sure. So even that old Jan of 2021 statistic is shocking to me. Is that really all the people who died of this disease in this country in that timeframe? And to be clear, they also included deaths from Pneumonia as well in that statistic if I am not very much mistaken.
But whatever, we are literally only talking a handful of deaths in the past week (if you're boyfriend was your grandpappy you sick disgusting fucking inbred rednecks
) from Covid.
Yet the fear, it ramps up, it ramps back down, it ramps back up again. It's never going to fucking stop is it?
Anyway, some of you that are good with things like this might be able to glean a bit more from that link I gave. They seem like pretty solidly collected stats and seeing as it is punishable under law in the UK to not notify the authorities of any person that has died from certain infectious diseases, well...
Maybe it's a good little statistical subset for the statisticians to work on.
Seems fucking fishy to me though.
