redruby 236 #3397 Posted January 2, 2021 Yes, the mix and match approach to vaccines is proposed where a second dose of the original vaccine type isn’t available. This is a gamble. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2021/01/01/health/coronavirus-vaccines-britain.amp.html%3f0p19G=6214 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I'm not saying the idea is a good thing or a bad thing but I'm not sure that the method of manufacture is particularly important. The effect, either good, bad or neutral, on the immune system is what matters and it would seem there is no information on that yet...

melthebell 862 #3400 Posted January 2, 2021 A while back i mentioned long covid and somebody queried it, now they are saying its similar in symptoms to ME https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-55369434 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Janus 28 #3401 Posted January 2, 2021 Why would anyone want to protest against something that would potentially save lives? I just don't get this at all. It is like being on a slow suicide mission. It is not the first report of such behaviour-it has occurred a few times now. What is wrong with these people? 'Crowds of between 200 to 300 people began to gather in Hyde Park, which is in a tier four coronavirus area, at about 13:30 GMT on Saturday, the Metropolitan Police said. Seventeen people were arrested on suspicion of breaching public health regulations'. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-55518304 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
dsweetman 48 #3402 Posted January 2, 2021 It is due to lack of education and pure selfishness.Unfortunately a sign of the times in which we are living.I suppose that it would be against their human rights to put them in a mental institute!

Pyrotequila 362 #3403 Posted January 2, 2021 Why only 17 people arrested? If there was a crowd of 200-300 people, surely there should have been 200-300 arrests made? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
butlers 224 #3404 Posted January 2, 2021 (edited) Have you seen that report from a nurse at St Thomas's hospital London who was greeted with a crowd of hundreds unmasked **people** yelling " covid is a hoax." Almost certainly linked to Piers Corbyn who led a rally at the London Eye ,5 mins walk away. He's VERY pleased with himself if you check his twitter. Utterly irresponsible,that's the kindest thing I care to say Edited January 2, 2021 by butlers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Didn't look the same protest types and no signs etc. Not agreeing with it I just thought the photo seemed suspect but if it sells papers...

butlers 224 #3406 Posted January 2, 2021 Not looked that closely ,but with the mentality of the **FREEDOM** crowd ,I would be pretty certain the 2 events are linked. The lack of banners might well be the organisers had recommended that ,and gather in small groups to elude the police Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
petemcewan 27 #3407 Posted January 3, 2021 Taking two different vaccines might become a very relevant topic if travel restrictions will mandate certain vaccines ,as prerequisites for entering different countries . At the moment you don't get a choice of what vaccine you'll get. The Gov has got control of it. Imagine if the Biden administration require a vaccination with an FDA approval before being allowed to enter the US. Then the Chines government requires FDA approved vaccine for entering China. And so on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
RollingJ 1,908 #3408 Posted January 3, 2021 @petemcewanIt wouldn't surprise me - administrations (of any country) seem to want to frustrate any return to a sensible normality, just so they can say 'we're in control' - stupid (IMO) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
