How many of us said we would not get vaccinated because there was not enough data to prove it was safe but now are double vaccinated and prepared to take the booster. With the data and messaging still unclear.

I admit to being one of the above.

I believed in it all! Trusted in them and then three weeks after second dose became effectively paralysed! Excruciating headaches and loss of feelings in arms and legs! This lasted for 17 weeks and comes back intermittently now! I won’t be having a booster but travel will be banned so what to do! I’m pretty convinced I will end up with something like MS if I do! Who is to know if in the future I will already with what’s happened! Literally thousands on a site explaining the same symptoms as mine but not all convinced because of the vaccine because they were “told” reactions don’t happen after that initial stage! It’s crazy! I hope they are tweaking it to sort these problems out! But from the lack of information regarding these symptoms I think it’s well known but keeping hush hush! Something is seriously amiss

Sorry to hear that mate. I hope things improve for you.

What I can't get my head around is at one point we were not supposed to mix the vaccine but now it's ok as the booster shot?

I wasn't really sure it'd happen this fast, but I listened to those who know how to interpret the data. (And in the end enrolled on a clinical trial, so might have had a genuinely experimental vaccine. Lol)

Not me , I never trusted the data , I have worked in the public sector so know first hand how they, the government itself and the private companies they use just make everything up.

I got vaccinated for travel and at the time it seemed like the ethical thing to do for the greater good. I knew there were risks but at 50 long term risks are less important. If I was 20 probably wouldn’t be vaccinated still

Very sorry to read that. Hope you get better!

That is seriously worrying to read. There are a growing number of people with negative reactions and they certainly are not getting the right amount of attention.

It is somewhat understandable that any news/stories about adverse reactions are being played down as they are, supposedly statistically rare compared to number of vaccine doses so far given in the world. The powers that be are clearly pro-vaccine and would not want to provide any ammunition for the anti-vax crowd.

The problem is that for the more rational people around, they start to wonder about a seeming lack of transparency. By not openly talking about side effects and volumes of people encountering problems, they are actually feeding the conspiracy theories.

They would be far better being 100% honest and talk about side effects, including serious ones, and quantifying that risk for people.

Explain in Plain English...

1. Chance of catching Covid and risk mitigations to alter this figure (vaxxed vs unvaxxed)

2. If you catch it chance of turning serious (vaxxed vs unvaxxed) resulting in hospitalisation

3. If serious and hospitalised then the chance of dying (vaxxed vs unvaxxed)

Then provide the same comparison of risks you are exposed to by having the vaccine.

What this will show is that there are indeed risks of having the vaccine but they are lower than the risks once you have Covid.

The key thing here I don’t see anything about in any messaging is that to be exposed to the risks of Covid you need to catch Covid. You cannot just compare potential risks and outcomes of having Covid vaxxed vs unvaxxed. There is a step before that when quantifying the risk!

had the first 2 injections, but will not be taking the booster.

dont see the point, if the 1st vaccines are meant to be good enough, then its a big fat no from me unless you want a new vaccine every 2 minutes

All over the place! Northwesr, , Southwest

A number of my colleagues initially had this attitude and quickly caved when they saw travel was going to become heavily restricted for them.

None have fortunately suffered any serious side effects with the procedure but two were infected with Covid after being double jabbed; one off sick now for nearly 8 weeks with 'long covid'.

I've resisted and continue firm in my convictions and will not get it or any booster. No amount of coercion will compell me to have one either.

As balance I probably know a couple of hundred people that have caught covid. 3 sadly died another disabled for life. Probably know a couple of dozen people who have been very ill for several weeks and months. Probably know at least a thousand people who have been jabbed and not one has has had anything more than a days fever and/or a sore arm.

I know a few people who've had severe (non fatal) reactions to the vaccines, but I know many more who've had little to no reaction.

Obviously anecdata have limitations.

If it turns out I've done the wrong thing, *shrug*. I made the best decision I could at the time with the information I had.

I recently called on the government to allow parents the option if they wanted to (on another forum) and was called a sicko degenerate who wanted to experiment on children!

narrative is changing from what we were told originally; just seems a bit ‘make it up as we go along’ ; still requiring masks, etc etc so no booster shots for me ; mixing drink is one thing but mixing vaccines that don’t really work seems like a no brainer.

The unknown risks repeatedly show to be more significant that those we know about. Likelihood isn’t as important as impact, the likelihood of dying from a vaccine is very low but the impact on the individual is the single worse possible outcome - death !

We used to smoke at work in the office. Doctors even smoked in the surgery in my life time. We put a man on the moon and made a passenger plane fly to New York in 3hrs. But slowly over time realised a lot of new things so stoped doing them. Same will be with these vaccines , I guarantee in 50 years our kids will look back and say WTF , we trusted that idiot with funny white hair and put this stuff in our body

You know in a funny way I bet many non-vaxxers wish that the government would force them to do it, or they only had to do it to travel - and in that way it gets them off-the-hook, and they can blame the government for forcing them to have it.

But they all need to understand just this one thing - the longer they don't have a vax the longer and in more ways the virus will mutate and the longer it will be that their holidays and lives are being so severely interrupted. It's actually helping sustain the pandemic.

They can also say thank you to everyone who has had it for protecting them.

You believe this is so, because of societal conditioning. They want you to think this. You’re being duped and you and many like you are buying it. You’re being very cleverly manipulated.

What is in fact sustaining this ‘pandemic’ is people like yourself who continue to enable governments behaviour.

I will admit to being one of them. I have had my vaccinations so I can travel (the end of the family peer pressuring and complaining is just a happy side effect).

I do not intend on having the booster as I think it unnecessary and I don't feel comfortable with the idea of this being a never ending series of top ups.

Morally I don't like the idea of depriving less well off nations of supply just to keep ours dosed up.

Understand concerns about vaccines etc. We all know nothing is 100% without risk. However it saddens me the lack of basic scientific understanding that so many people display.

You chose to follow the medical professionals....but now you doubt them?

Why? What have they done to raise your doubts? It's a fundamental basic biological fact that viruses mutate over time. Basic Darwinian evolution, something that's been recognised since the mid 19th century.

So does that mean you'd no longer accept medical advice regarding other ailments?

Now if you'd said you didnt trust a politician I'd completely understand. Apparently we can now walk in off the street and ask for a booster jab. Quite how a severely squeezed NHS is going to deal with that goodness only knows -it doesn't look like any discussion was had in advance of this announcement & the NHS are still saying you should wait to be called for the booster so that those that need it the most (older / at risk population) can be given it first.

wyke hasnt been vaccinated. Sheff Utd have said fleck was a separate medical condition.

This is a very important topic & one we are well behind the curve on in the UK.

Google 'C-R-Y screening'.

Italian law mandates that every competitive athlete must undergo annual pre-participation evaluation (PPE) to identify cardiovascular (CV) diseases that pose a risk of sudden death (SD) during sport.

Believe Fabrice Muamba is a supporter of C-R-Y which is a very worthwhile charity IMO.

Not sure what it's relevance is on this thread, but there you go.

It was quite a while before I was eligible for the Vax, so I had the luxury of sitting back and watching the data from other people and studies come in before I had to decide. I wasn't anti or pro, just cautious and hopefully prudent.

When the time came I did a risk/benefits analysis on getting vaccinated vs catching Covid, and it was pretty clear to me that the vax was the better option for me.

Felt really shit for 2days after both shots but still worth it for me. So I'll probably get the booster when its offered to me.

When there’s a pandemic (like COVID-19) in the UK, the NHS and the national public health agencies co-ordinate all cases and manage all resources. It’s very important that it’s done this way, so that the government can continuously monitor, assess and manage the situation. This means private hospitals don’t treat COVID-19 patients unless asked to do so under the NHS.

"I believed in it all! Trusted in them and then three weeks after second dose became effectively paralysed! Excruciating headaches and loss of feelings in arms and legs! This lasted for 17 weeks and comes back intermittently now! I won’t be having a booster but travel will be banned so what to do! I’m pretty convinced I will end up with something like MS if I do! Who is to know if in the future I will already with what’s happened! Literally thousands on a site explaining the same symptoms as mine but not all convinced because of the vaccine because they were “told” reactions don’t happen after that initial stage! It’s crazy! I hope they are tweaking it to sort these problems out! But from the lack of information regarding these symptoms I think it’s well known but keeping hush hush! Something is seriously amiss

Very sorry to read that. Hope you get better!

That is seriously worrying to read. There are a growing number of people with negative reactions and they certainly are not getting the right amount of attention.

It is somewhat understandable that any news/stories about adverse reactions are being played down as they are, supposedly statistically rare compared to number of vaccine doses so far given in the world. The powers that be are clearly pro-vaccine and would not want to provide any ammunition for the anti-vax crowd.

The problem is that for the more rational people around, they start to wonder about a seeming lack of transparency. By not openly talking about side effects and volumes of people encountering problems, they are actually feeding the conspiracy theories.

They would be far better being 100% honest and talk about side effects, including serious ones, and quantifying that risk for people.

Explain in Plain English...

1. Chance of catching Covid and risk mitigations to alter this figure (vaxxed vs unvaxxed)

2. If you catch it chance of turning serious (vaxxed vs unvaxxed) resulting in hospitalisation

3. If serious and hospitalised then the chance of dying (vaxxed vs unvaxxed)

Then provide the same comparison of risks you are exposed to by having the vaccine.

What this will show is that there are indeed risks of having the vaccine but they are lower than the risks once you have Covid.

The key thing here I don’t see anything about in any messaging is that to be exposed to the risks of Covid you need to catch Covid. You cannot just compare potential risks and outcomes of having Covid vaxxed vs unvaxxed. There is a step before that when quantifying the risk!"

I’m sorry but you’re away with the fairies there with that way of thinking.

Look at it this way. Imagine going looking for a new car and the salesman says to you “here’s a great car, does a 100 miles to the gallon, comes with heated seats and all the mod cons and it’s cheap as chips” you think it’s a bargain but then he says “ the only problem you may encounter is the brakes fail occasionally and the steering locks but other than that it’s great!” Would you still buy that car knowing it may kill you? Well if you answered yes then roll your sleeve up for your 8th booster.

Looked at the data and decided it would be best for me to be jabbed. I however won't be getting the booster. Too many friends who had same AZ jabs I had are having adverse reactions to their booster and not just a few days in bed. I'll be giving it a miss and taking my chances.

I have had 3 jabs and covid itself and I am absolutely fine. No problems at all; I am the one!!! I know the Government have used my personal data at least 42,674,238 times to show the vaccines work and are safe.

There was a guy called Paul who got covid in 2019 and recovered fully only to be run over and killed by a bus as he left the hospital. His death has been reported as a covid death over 147,000 times just to frighten people. Covid does not exist!

Don't believe all you read or hear in the media or Fab forums.

(Note: The above is of course complete and utter bollocks - except the fact that as a retired 65 year old I have had 3 jabs and covid and am absolutely fine thanks to the jabs.)

Thanks for the tips / links.

I did Google the first one which seemed to take me to the summary from the new England journal of medicine from 2020 which used some of the buzzwords...

I'm at the limit of my science knowledge but did however note that the particular example was...

"(Funded by BioNTech and Pfizer; ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT04368728.)"

Is it not of concern regarding regulatory independence that the scientists conducting approval experiments are funded by the companies whose drugs are seeking approval from that same independent regulatory body ?

and regarding safety...

"Safety over a median of 2 months was similar to that of other viral vaccines"... Would be good to see what the actual safety data was.

But as far as matching cohorts by risk factors it does seem to suggest that was done so I was wrong.

I got Covid19 at the beginning of last year when no-one realised it was in this country and everyone thought there was some bad flu bugs around that the NHS were struggling to deal with, I’d been to two music gigs in Manchester and London and am convinced I got it from one of those.

I was so ill, I had to sleep in the spare bed and Dee had to change the sheets every day because they were wringing wet with sweat and I was coughing so much I was struggling to breath and felt like I wanted to die for about three weeks.

Because of Dee’s job we are vaccinated and boostered up and having gone through that illness last year I would not suggest anyone refuse the vaccine.

However I will say that normally vaccines are tested for circa 8 years before they are put into circulation and the Covid19 one has been put into us after being developed in less than 6 months. Will we suffer long term effects, who knows ?

What puzzles me, is that almost everybody I know is at least double vaccinated, yet I know not one person who had any adverse reaction other than cold symptoms for 12-24 hours.

But I visit internet forums and they seem full of people who almost died, whose parents died, whose work colleagues were jabbed 6 months ago and were paralysed ever since, who turned blue and couldn't piss for a week and ended up on dialysis etc.

From my perspective, there's a huge and perplexing disconnect between what I've experienced first hand, and what I read on social media.

"How many of us said we would not get vaccinated because there was not enough data to prove it was safe but now are double vaccinated and prepared to take the booster. With the data and messaging still unclear.

I admit to being one of the above.

You know in a funny way I bet many non-vaxxers wish that the government would force them to do it, or they only had to do it to travel - and in that way it gets them off-the-hook, and they can blame the government for forcing them to have it.

But they all need to understand just this one thing - the longer they don't have a vax the longer and in more ways the virus will mutate and the longer it will be that their holidays and lives are being so severely interrupted. It's actually helping sustain the pandemic.

They can also say thank you to everyone who has had it for protecting them.

"

So the Head of the Isle of Man Government’s said at a press conference a few days ago that the current mutations are vaccines induced through what they call vaccine escape variant… so where is the open debate in the UK about the same topic…. Ah that’s right you are going to trust the same people who told you 3 weeks to flatten the curve !!

There’s a lot of people in the UK mate, my father died 3 days after his 2nd AZ jab and my mother took a PE in her lung after her 1st dose… these serious adverse reactions are described as ‘rare’ let me tell you something that is rare is to almost lose both of your parents due to something that is designed to protect & not kill them ! vaccine injuries are not rare the safety data from the vaccine companies has been shewed hidden or manipulated from the outset !! stay strong

"How many of us said we would not get vaccinated because there was not enough data to prove it was safe but now are double vaccinated and prepared to take the booster. With the data and messaging still unclear.

I admit to being one of the above.

You know in a funny way I bet many non-vaxxers wish that the government would force them to do it, or they only had to do it to travel - and in that way it gets them off-the-hook, and they can blame the government for forcing them to have it.

But they all need to understand just this one thing - the longer they don't have a vax the longer and in more ways the virus will mutate and the longer it will be that their holidays and lives are being so severely interrupted. It's actually helping sustain the pandemic.

They can also say thank you to everyone who has had it for protecting them.

So the Head of the Isle of Man Government’s said at a press conference a few days ago that the current mutations are vaccines induced through what they call vaccine escape variant… so where is the open debate in the UK about the same topic…. Ah that’s right you are going to trust the same people who told you 3 weeks to flatten the curve !! "

he's also stated that "Government departments are working closely together to address the ongoing situation with the lab up at Noble’s now set up to identify any cases of the Omicron variant when it arrives on the Island. The vaccination team is also working incredibly hard to scale up the rollout and offer the booster to the thousands who are eligible"

So he's not downplaying the vaccine effectiveness

"What puzzles me, is that almost everybody I know is at least double vaccinated, yet I know not one person who had any adverse reaction other than cold symptoms for 12-24 hours.

They are rare when they are happening to somebody else. When they happen to you or yours they are very real. My dad went with cancer, he could have been saved, but because it was so "unusual" to reappear in his bones they didn't believe his symptoms nor test him until it was too late. That "unusual" statement/process/missed diagnosis was made to him 3 times on his journey. In the end he said "I don't want to be unusual, I just want to be normal". The "comfort" people take from a condition being rare doesnt provide comfort for me any longer. The gamble you take is it happens to someone else and not you.

OK of course people will have adverse reactions, People have adverse reactions to every medication known to man.

What I find interesting is a lot of the people that are saying they won't have the vaccine or booster because somebody they know a week after having the vaccine had a heart attack or became paralysed are the same people that say "How do we know they died of covid, they could have been dying anyway" "How do we know it's long covid and not something else" yet they are quite happy to believe it is definitely the vaccine causing these problems not something else.

Why would they be able to opt out of national National insurance because that's to do with pension and benefits.

Sorry to hear this. I know of many people that have been affected by the vaccines....some are family members, one with life changing injuries.

I'm all for vaccines, but the narrative from the beginning has not been consistent.

But the government are happy, giving each other high fives as they walk all the way to the bank with payouts from the big pharma. You only have to look at the close up broadcast of Boris getting his vaccine to see that the needle still had its case on lol......and people are falling for this.

Month before the vaccine was rolled put to general public I had a stroke.

I've since had all my jabs with no complications (apart from a dead arm)..and yes I caught Vovid a few weeks ago just before booster ..fortunately just a bit like a bad cold..

Everyone has a right to make there own choice and either way the balance is reasonable..what gets my back up is people on the extreme sides of both arguments using false facts or aggressive statements to try and justify their choices..just make them.. and then make the best effort to look after yourself, your family, friends and the wider community

I think you are referring to taking a different vaccine for the booster? If you are, it isn't boosting the vaccine, it is boosting your immune system by encouraging a more robust response.

Your 2nd point is incorrect, the vaccines are very successful and have reduced the death rate from covid significantly.

Apology accepted.

I reiterate I am not against the vaccine.

Just wish the media would stop the scaremongering with regards to effectiveness of the different vaccines available.

Then I guess the media would not have much to talk about which relates to many other issues that are reported.

The vaccines are safe,it's the way they inject it which is the problem from what i have seen, as any good doctor or nurse will know if you are injecting intramuscular then you should alway aspirate first which means they should pull back on the syringe to make sure they have not entered a blood vessel, because vaccines are only ment to go into the lymphatic system and must never enter the bloodstream.

"Not me , I never trusted the data , I have worked in the public sector so know first hand how they, the government itself and the private companies they use just make everything up.

I got vaccinated for travel and at the time it seemed like the ethical thing to do for the greater good. I knew there were risks but at 50 long term risks are less important. If I was 20 probably wouldn’t be vaccinated still "

The youngsters are getting vaccinated because they have no foresight of what the long-term implications might be, particularly those in their teens and twenties. They want to live their life. They were promised that life when they got vaccinated, weren't they?

Scaremongering from day 1, co-ercion and manipulation at its finest - not ethical.

I for one will not be vaccinated because I don't trust the data which has been put out there. But mostly I don't trust how it's been handled by the heads of most countries and the media. It is the equivalent to psychological warfare. Our own heads of state still blaming the non-vaccinated, when the data has confirmed that transmission happens in both co-horts AND sure the majority of the population (in Ireland anyway) is vaccinated.

What the fuck more do they want? Mandate it? I can guarantee you that those like me will not be mandated either.

So what then?

Fine all of us - I got nothin', sorry mate.

Prison? They'll be full with "anti-vaxxers".

Indeed, flip flopping at its finest.

I had my first AZ, the data about the chance of clots came out. Guidance was, you can't mix jabs, get your second AZ, putting myself at risk of clots. Now seemingly, its ok to mix them, without even the option of the same booster.

I'll pass and take my chances with COVID again.

Indeed, flip flopping at its finest.

I had my first AZ, the data about the chance of clots came out. Guidance was, you can't mix jabs, get your second AZ, putting myself at risk of clots. Now seemingly, its ok to mix them, without even the option of the same booster.

I'll pass and take my chances with COVID again."

This is how I am feeling right now. Unless the AZ is available as a booster. Even then I will probably think twice now.

I had zero issues with the both my AZ jabs outside of a bit of a dead arm for a day or two. I'd happily take a third

"I think most anti vaxers are just afraid of a little prick."

Surely Bozo is more than a little prick? He's proved to be a massive prick.

"I presume any anti-vaxxer who became very ill with covid would be happy to pay for their medical treatment rather than be a burden on the NHS."

Does the same theory apply to smokers who contract cancer or obese people who have heart attacks?

People in both of those categories have actively done something that they know could cause problems while someone who has decided to not involve themselves in the vaccine trial are merely exercising caution.

The vaccine doesn't stop you catching, carrying or transmitting the virus, it must rank as one of the least effective vaccines in history.

Actually just a tiny bit of research could help you there. A very tiny little bit.

The several versions for Covid 19 have been amongst the better vaccines m. Very high efficacy and safety - above average and the forecasts. They got you out of restrictions - but you are welcome to go back to that.

Better to stick with the research evidence. The Moderna and Pfizer have shown phenomenal results for immunity. AZ hasn't produced such results.

The vaccines are cleared from the body, with our developed immunity remaining

"How many of us said we would not get vaccinated because there was not enough data to prove it was safe but now are double vaccinated and prepared to take the booster. With the data and messaging still unclear.

I admit to being one of the above. "

Back in my wilder days roughly 2 months ago I was partying heavy so if I’m willing to risk my life snorting Pritt stick I’m sure a vaccine will do me no harm

If thats the case, why the initial guidance that they shouldn't be mixed and people should continue along a risky path. If its safe to mix AZ and pfizer, why weren't all those who had their first AZ before the info about clots offered Pfizer for their second jab?

If the guidance was wrong initially, nothing in how this entire pandemic gives me faith it isn't wrong again so they can stick their booster where their heads are firmly lodged.

Well I had my booster yesterday only thing I've had from it today is a sore arm where I had the needle had no side effects whatsoever on the first 2 jabs either so all good sorry for those who have been less unfortunate but we are not all the same so what happens to one person may not happen to another life is full of risks and gambles no one knows what's going to happen so I took the risk and had all my jabs x my choice not listening to any of the crap government media or papers saying xx

I never had any major issues with the first two jabs.

A slight fever and arm ache the following morning on both occasions which didn't last long.
