Not one member has said covid is over

Stop with the DM exaggeration to justify your bleak, lack of data position

One member has literally said exactly that, several more have implied it.

Watching that bloke on YouTube ticking bits of paper doesn’t constitute “having the data” either by the way but it’s ok, I get that people are tired and scared and want to believe the hypothesis that this is a much milder strain and will herald the end of the worse strains.

Which is certainly very possible but we’re nowhere even vaguely close to being able to declare that with any degree of triumph.

In truth none of us have “the data” because it’s too early to have “the data”. You criticise me for being honest about not having that data… whilst lapping up any (too early) interpretation of the data that is available that slants towards the positive.

It’s a position of fear. I get why people do it but it has zero practical utility, and jumping the gun with half-baked beliefs comes with several potential risks.

The NHS has been in a bad situation for years sadly, I know that I'm repeating myself by saying this, but I honestly don't understand why extra funding isn't being put into the NHS during the Pandemic? Apparently we have enough money to build new Shopping Centers and Museum's about The Beatles, but apparently they can't fund the NHS properly?

But in fairness it is a good sign that the variant is more mild, the main problem at this point is thanks to our wonderful Government as usual with their hatred towards the NHS for some bizarre reason.

Well I’m kinda reluctant to wish everybody a happy new year this time given what’s happened the last two times I did

I would say this variation of covid is milder because people who had the vaccine caught covid and the vaccine weakened it so when they passed it on it was diluted

His videos are actually not bad but anyone taking them as the full picture needs to give their head a wobble - he’s just one man trying to simplify SOME of the data for a wider audience, it’s not exhaustive science. Sad thing is he doesn’t even pretend it is, it’s other people with rose-tinted glasses interpreting his videos as something they are not (I.e. a big “all clear” sign)

Who has said on here that we are all clear?

… on the same sort of track, it COULD be a game changer if it’s highly effective in real-world clinical settings. Cautious optimism .

But yes on a more positive note about Covid… general understanding of virology (both the epidemiology and the clinical treatment of viral illness) in general has made huge leaps since 2019, and that’s something that might benefit us immensely beyond Covid. Efficient Anti-virals is the big one if they can be really nailed down. It would be nearly as big a moment in medicine as the discovery of antibiotics.

Pfizer is toxic rubbish

Modern is toxic rubbish

AstraZeneca is toxic rubbish

J&J is the worst of them all

[Nicky91]

but i'll get myself jabbed with pfizer, as i have no own opinion

no one has a own opinion anymore

[Nicky91]

it is more about the when for me


wish there would be one location available again in my city eindhoven (don't get anyway why they have so little locations available given it is very crowded at the moment at some of these locations, many queue's waiting time can go for hours depending on where you stand in those and what time you arrive at those locations)



and i am not in the mood to go to pop up location in Geldrop (that neighbourhood where it is at i don't quite trust, an area where there has been lots of crime) and Helmond is too far away for me

LBC reports
40% of booked Covid appointments
are being wasted, as they do not turn up.

That's real bad.

i wouldn't do that


i'd only make a appointment when i'm 100% certain of actually going


and for now i am at 85% certain of going to get a jab, i just hope i don't get anything bad from the vaccine


but staying unvaxxed isn't an option either, because i don't want long covid

There maybe an overlap because you can book online then your surgery calls and either gives you an earlier appointment or tells you just to go to your nearest vaccine roll out
