Free Covid vaccines

By *ophieslut OP TV/TS 33 weeks ago

Central

The entitlement for free Covid vaccines has progressedly shrunk, with the spring 2024 availability being the smallest. Privately purchased vaccines are to cost to just below £100.

Are we shooting ourselves in the foot, by being more restrictive than other countries? Certainly wish them potentially costing around £100, take-up isn't going to be very widespread, in my estimation.

Long Covid can be an awful experience. Would you be more inclined to have a free booster vaccine than pay for it?

Even if it mutated, was far more deadly and you were more vulnerable, with health issues, or it became much more contagious and deadly and had vulnerable contacts, for example?

If offered a free Covid booster I would take it, as I would any other reccomended vaccination.

I wouldn't pay £100 for one.

Isn't £100 a small price to pay for peace of mind and not dying from COVID-19?

People who have had 3 vaccines or more for the original variant may now be “strongly immune imprinted”.

In simple terms, another modern jab will produce a response appropriate for the old Woohan strain, not COVID-19 XBB.1.5 that it is designed for.

Same if you catch the new covid. You would be producing outdated immune responses.

The University of Washington released the study very recently.

It was a small test group but the results were clear

I’ll be interested to see it peer reviewed.

Please don’t pile on because I’m saying something that is hard to hear.

We are adults, if you don’t understand the responsibility of informed consent, this may not be the forum for you.

The reason that it's not free anymore is that the current risk level has dropped significantly. If this situation changed to a point that Covid was presenting a significant risk to public health, then the vaccines would be offered for free again.

viruses don’t work like that. They may become more transmissible but they also become more mild. It is not in the virus’ interest to kill off its host, that is why as it mutates, it becomes much less serious in nature.

Anyway, the vaccine that is given is usually the previous strain and most of us would’ve been exposed to that by the time you have had the vaccine.

Each to their own but I’m not interested in a vaccine that a) doesn’t stop you getting the virus b) doesn’t stop you from transmitting the virus c) lines the overly capacious wallets of big Pharma and their very, very dodgy track record.

If your immune system doesn't recognise the pathogen through its memory cells, then it'll simply start afresh.

Mate, you really really need to stop spreading misinformation here.

Anyone can see from a mile that you don’t know what you’re talking about. You come up every week with a new “study” that you don’t understand, spreading fear of vaccinations.

What comes to you, other than having a bit of attention, I honestly don’t know.

Covid vaccines are very safe. There is no evidence whatsoever that they do any damage to your immune system and if that was true, given the number of vaccinated people in the world you would see a massacre. Which is not happening.

Stop lying.

Not really about the "Person" having any kind of "Vaccine" though or should they pay or not it's about protecting others though and each and every vaccine has some kind of % take up in where when it's reached the general population is considered safe from whatever virus/disease ? and so slows down the spread to others ? and so when did the selfish gene kick in ? and where did all these "Experts" come from the ones who no doubt did paper spit balls or such similiar things during the "Boring Science Lessons" exactly come from ?? and watching afew youtube videos is no basis for basing anyone's opinion or opinions on ?

I'd definitely be more inclined to get a free booster as £100 is a lot of money for a lot of people.

I qualify for free flu jabs so would likely continue to be offered a free COVID booster anyway.

One thing I noticed this winter compared to the previous, is that it wasn't as easy to get the COVID booster. 22/23 I was able to go into my local pharmacy, scan a QR code to fill in a few details, and get flu and COVID jabs there and then.

This winter when I asked about getting both it was a no. I'd have to book it at one of 2 places like Boots or somewhere further out, or at my gp surgery.

I'm so much more likely to do something if I can get it as a walk in. Making plans more than a couple of days in advance rarely works out because my health is so unreliable - ironically, made much worse from having severe COVID in October 2020. "
..yes it's been getting harder. We have more and more things to check now when we get people coming for their vaccines.

Luckily my disabled ( immune compromised) daughter will still get offered a free one but if not for her I would pay for it. X

I felt horrendous after every flu jab I have had. Only felt after the first covid jab nothing after the booster. Never had the flu but as bad I felt after my flu jabs I doubt it would be as bad as actual flu i.e wasn't bed ridden for a couple of weeks.

If you had the flu you'd have been wiped out for up to two weeks and probably unable to get out of bed at all for the first two or three days otherwise you probably had a cold.

Typically the NHS contact those of us who are eligible directly, encouraging us to book our vaccinations. I don't know whether the spring booster invites have started yet but assume it will be within a few days/weeks.

For the privately purchased vaccines, I'm guessing that the volume of predicted sales/profits will probably mean that chemists will rely on people contacting them directly, though they may have some posters in their premises, promoting it. (They do this with the flu vaccines in winter).

Professors Yeardon, Mcullough, Malone, Bossche etal… all leading experts in their respective disciplines.

All expressed concerns about the MRNA technology..

It has, and is, been proved that unequivocally there is linkage of increased heart issues, myocarditis, pericarditis, blood clots..

Yes they did withdraw it.. though Pfizer,J&J, Moderna did and they have all been linked to the above side effects i mentioned…

Sadly none of them stopped transition or COVID, as was stated by Professor Bossche, you do not introduce a vax half way through a pandemic as it will have nil effect..
