To address a single issue currently circulating the twatter sphere: The vaccine gives you COVID.
This is totally, 100% impossible. None of the vaccines contain any virus.
Sometimes I wonder why people like me and 100's of colleagues have spent so much time disseminating the information, when mindless idiots still persist in talking about microchips.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Up to 28 September 2022, the MHRA had received Yellow Card reports of 446 cases of major thromboembolic events (blood clots) with concurrent thrombocytopenia (low platelet counts) in the UK following vaccination with COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca. Fifty-one of the 446 reports have been reported after a second dose. Of the 446 reports, 220 occurred in females, and 221 occurred in males aged from 18 to 93 years. The overall case fatality rate was 18% with 80 deaths, six of which occurred after the second dose.
The most common serious side effect, obviously not good, but against 176,000 deaths from [ or where COVID was a major contributing factor ], seems a risk worth taking.

It feels like covid never happened, yet I read that infection rates in Devon are going through the roof.
Probably stands to reason, we’ve had people from every area of the country visiting here through the summer, and still are apparently. At the beginning of the first wave we had no cases but as they stopped the restrictions everybody came down and COVID took off. It’s been the same ever since.

I would agree with that because people who are not up to speed with the benefits of vaccines, and have listened to the experts in Twatter and ArseBook, would have had their vaccine, gone out clubbing or pubbing with the thought that they are protected completely. So yes, I agree, they probably are more likely get COVID after the vaccine. ’Ive had my vaccine, I’m invincible now!

More likely to get Covid, but much less likely to die from it, or suffer long lasting and severe side effects from the disease. Like a lot of things, one tends to remember the bad stuff, and forget the good. For every person posting about a friend, or a friend of a friend, that supposedly had a bad reaction to the vaccine, do they provide any information to balance that, ie how many friends had the vaccine, caught covid and were able to dismiss it as no more than a cold?
The figures and the science to interpret them are what matters. Only this week I was told by a very reliable source of a relatively young man ( under 65) who didn’t think he needed the vaccine, and unfortunately died of covid. Survived long enough to say how much he regretted not having had the jabs. It’s still happening.
I’m old enough to remember class mates and work colleagues who were disabled by polio. I have a friend whose mother was left deaf after contracting measles, and another whose brother was left severely damaged after his pregnant mother contracted Rubella. We have been so well cushioned by previous immunisation programmes that many have become complacent.
I've always found the term 'herd immunity' slightly offensive when used by antivax bludgers. The assumption being that the immunised are like sheep, mindlessly poisoning their bodies and those of their offspring while their own children thrive. If they are unfortunate enough to catch anything, a dab of arnica will surely sort it out.
That doesn't stop the AVs banging on about it. They depend on it to protect their children from childhood diseases that should be a thing of the past but are returning

I would stick with the science

Herd immunity isn't a thing with Covid as the virus keeps mutating.
