    How about the 10% it isn't effective against? Covid only affects 2% critically.
    I have never had a flu jab, i have never had the flu.
    I would have the flu if I had the jab, i would have last year's. Most people i know say they feel ill for a week after the jab.
    What i have read about Covid is that you can't build an immunity against it, so you can get it again and again, which was unlike Swine flu which you did build an immunity against.
    My wife contracted Swine flu and she is asthmatic so it was worrying. She had some Tammiflu prescribed and it was like no more than a bad cold. But a workmates wife caught it who was the same age and it killed her.
    I have also heard that a Vitamin D deficiency is also being linked to Covid.
    I don't know, I'm not a medical expert.

    I’m hoping they come up with a vaccine to stop people being miserable, cynical, w a n k e r s.

    Knowing my luck I’ll be one of the “10%” with that one as well!

    .


    Number 11 will go to number 1 - if there’s profit involved and people will pay for it. Know a number of people who were a risk and eligible for the Flu jab on the NHS from October but for f uck sake - you could pay for it privately in Asda and Boots! Number 1 to 10 should come before money and that’s any amount of money otherwise it’s another protection of those with and f uck those without!

    In yesterday's Time's expert's have warned that there could be a risk with it.
    I have never had anything legal or illegal injected into me.
    We are just Guinea Pigs.
    Let the Queen or Boris have it first and see what happens.

    I'm sorry 1955, but in my experience, very few people suffer any symptoms after having the flu jab. Yes, of course, there are exceptions but they are very few and far between in most of the people I talk to. I would always recommend a flu jab if you able to obtain one.

    I've had the flu jab for several years, never a problem.

    I was a bit sniffly the first time I had it but had no reaction last year.

    I can’t get one now because I’m “too young” at 59 apparently........they’re saving them for old t w a t s like Des 😆
