Did anyone else see the documentary last night, finding Derek? It's about Kate Garraway's husband who has been in hospital over a year fighting covid. It's a very powerful story.
Don’t believe the reassuring statistics about Coronavirus.
My 75 year old brother has been participating in the UK Biobank survey for some years. It follows people’s lifestyles and health issues.
He had his first Astra Zeneca jab at the beginning of February. He had a strong reaction to the jab. Now, from what you read and hear, you might imagine that he had x% of immunity to the virus by now. At least some sort of immunity at least, right?
Today, UK Biobank sent him a finger prick blood test with an online reporting system to say how many antibodies he had now.
I quite believe that, had he had his 2nd dose when recommended by the makers, he would probably have been ok. They're all out now, let’s see what happens in a month or two. all the jab means is that not so many people will require hospital beds. 7 people in a care home near here have died, all staff and patients had their 1st jab. Two of the staff have been prosecuted for neglect.

My next door neighbour went for his jab yesterday. He didn't believe in Covid. Thought it was just flu. All his fathers side of the family gathered together at xmas. He stayed at home because it was a year since he found his mother dead from a heart attack on xmas day . His uncle started to feel unwell a few days later, after three days he went to hospital. Three days after that he died from Covid. He believes it now.
it is important to remember that the vaccine will not work in all people. That does not mean that the vaccine is useless. Scare stories really do not help @Brockman, suppose you will be telling us about microchips next.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
I have had the AZ jab myself and am a great believer in vaccinations of all kinds.
This is a true “story” if that is what you want to call it. No scare in it that I can see. Just a true example of one person’s experience.
More should be made of the point you make, namely that the vaccine does not work for everyone. You hear very little of that. Perhaps if more were made of it there would be fewer old people wandering around looking as if they have just been let out of jail.
I had a career loosely connected to science. I am not a flat earth believer nor do I think that only part of the truth should be told.
I think the truth has been fully told innumerable times, all the results show that the various vaccines are between 70 and 90 % effective, or, 10-30% ineffective.

He did the test.
None.
