I had testers turn up at my door earlier, gave me a testing kit and said they'd pick it up after an hour (which they did), but it was all just a bit Gestapowy. They were on about the trying to get a handle the new variant, but I had no idea they were just rocking up at doors these days.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist so was happy to do the test, but even I was a bit weirded out by it.

It would boost their antibodies that is the answer Van Tam gave when asked if people needed to be vaccinated if they already had covid and recovered

the idea is that they try and test everyone in an area to see if there are any asymptomatic cases found that may have gone under the radar and be making the infection rate worse. But yes, someone randomly appearing at the door to take a sample is invading privacy a tad

Would his answer cover the asymptotic ones who have it though .. not the ones who’d had it and recovered ??

Wouldnt it do the same thing? Encourage more antibodies


IS IT SAFE TO VACCINATE (GIVE A SHOT TO) PEOPLE WHO ARE ASYMPTOMATIC CARRIERS?


There is no reason to think the vaccine (shot) would not work or would have negative effects if given to someone who has the virus but no symptoms. If symptoms develop a few days after the shot, they may be from the infection. The same thing happens every year with the flu.

...this is why it all gets so confusing as well because the U.K. government were being praised and ‘vindicated’ by The WHO only a few days ago...

COVID-19: Vaccine doses shouldn't be more than six weeks apart, scientist behind Pfizer-BioNTech jab says...

The year is 2038. The Slim clones are nearing adulthood... their indoctrination to the cause, implanted during their long gestation, is strong. Soon it will be time for us to open the vats and unleash them on the world. Soon... soon.

I was just thinking how it's a bit strange for someone turning up at your door asking to stick something up your nose (if that's how they do it?).
