Popular Post Rhacsyn Posted March 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 31, 2021 As an ageing UK educated expat here and restricted from travelling to Dubai (where I have residency visa and access to vacvine) or even UK, I have to say it is good news for me. I will do my utmost to get vaccinated. Most people who get vaccines or medication during their lifetimes never ask where it comes from or for sure never realistically check the paperwork always included which discusses, amongst other things, potential side effects etc. Every medication has a potential for side effects but the numbers are tiny so why suddenly look so closely and be scared by the same tiny numbers involved in Covid 19 vaccines, a vaccine, which like other vaccines, has been proven to work. 28 4 2 14 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. When I joined the RAF in 1964 we were immediately lined up for every vaccine known to man, whether you had them before or not, no paperwork or discussion. It was done in alphabetical order so each time it was the same guy in front of me, always fainted as soon as he saw the needle. He lives in NZ now and we still joke about it. 11 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post madmitch Posted April 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 1, 2021 I'm guessing that contrary to Macron's warning, the Phuket health officials have decided to offer Sinovac only to the under 60s, hence the reason the over 60s are being delayed, waiting for Astra Zeneca. But of course they might have a totally different agenda! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to those expats in Phuket. Nothing very controversial with Astrazeneca, apart from EU trying to politicise the issue. Give me Astrazeneca any day! Sinovac? Thanks, but, no thanks! Luckily Thailand decided to stay clear of Sputnik, though I'm sure the General would go for it if Putin made a decent enough offer. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think carefully before you sign up to life long 4 times a year unsafe injections.. Because if you had a basic understanding of statistics you’d realize the risks associated with catching Covid are far,far greater than getting blood clots ,which ironically is a symptom of Covid! The incidence of blood clots suffered by vaccinated are either the same or less as would occur normally within the population. Now you understand the difference between causation and correlation...? 16 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every single statistic both from the trials and where it’s been rolled are favorable (even the blood clotting).

Think carefully before you sign up to life long 4 times a year unsafe injections.. It's sad that a person has died following a vaccine. I guess it's possible (and quite likely probable) that the clot was forming pre-vaccine, but without the facts it's impossible to know. But, on the other hand, millions haven't died. I take a far greater risk than getting a jab every time I leave my home, but I don't stop leaving my home. 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think carefully before you sign up to life long 4 times a year unsafe injections.. Garbage. You claim that your "friend" died of an AZ caused blood clot. Ok. Did the autopsy actually state this? You make claim, but you cannot back it up with fact can you. Maybe you just want to sabotage vaccine roll out, yes? Maybe there is a clotting issue associated with the Italian sourced doses. It is strange that in the UK where so many millions have been dosed it is not an issue. Other countries which have administered large numbers of doses have not reported any deaths. Canada has given out 500,000 AZ type vaccine doses from India with several hundred thousand within the 20 day risk period and has monitored closely, but no deaths. Where do you get 4 times a year for unsafe injections? None of the approved vaccines requires 4 doses. 8 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Antonymous Posted April 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 1, 2021 41 minutes ago, IamNoone88 said: I will wait for the Gold Standard Moderna or Pfizer vaccine, thank you from a private hospital. If you opt for the Pfizer and Moderna you are opting for novel mRNA technology that is experimental gene therapy, not a true vaccine. They are by no means an established ‘gold standard’. I certainly will not risk taking either of them. The Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine uses a chimpanzee adenovirus vector genetically engineered to express the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein instead. I’m not too happy with that one either, but I particularly don’t trust AstraZenica in light of the documented criminal practices that have been exposed throughout their history. The non-profit organization ‘Corporate Research Project’ writes that the company: “…has been embroiled in numerous controversies over illegal marketing, product safety, anticompetitive behavior and tax avoidance”. You can read the long list yourself by looking up AstraZenica: Corporate Rap Sheet. Criminal history including for example: In 2010, the company settled more than 25,000 lawsuits filed by patients harmed by three of its psychiatric drugs, paying out $198 million. Then in 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission fined the company $4.3 million for bribery (improperly influencing and rewarding doctors to use their products). Sorry to say that I don't trust any pharmaceutical companies and I never jump in feet first whenever a doctor suggests this or that drug (or vaccine). I do my research and I look for tried and tested safe alternatives, if they exist. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because this vaccine hasn't been FDA approved. They have never been able to produce a coronavirus vaccine in over 20 years without all the animals dying. They gave up but this time the vaccine has been released under emergency use which bypasses the 5 to 10 year trials. You will be the trial for a virus with a 99.64% survival rate. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
