Not sure I'm getting another booster. I've had 3 jabs & still got covid. Shirley I'd have antibodies to fight it off now with 3 jabs & covid ? 

I think it's the variants - this seems to mutate to avoid the full effect of the vaccines more than other coronaviruses. Problem is you're probably fully immune to versions which are now extinct.

You'll probably be offered flu at the same time. That's the main thing motivating me.

I'd get the covid booster if I was eligible even though I appear to be impervious to it. I paid for the flu jab last week because fuck getting anything that can potentially leave me in bed for a few days.

Don't tell Gemmill

Wife had the booster and jab at the weekend.

She might get the vaccines next!

Preferred angry Wykiki 😉

FWIW I am down for the jab next week and the main reason for it, is like Renton.  The Flu.  I could pay for the Flu jab on its own I suppose.

I don't know about going forward if they will continue to offer it to people my age.  My wife was by far the youngest and fittest looking at the GPs on Saturday.  I was stood waiting outside and 99% of people getting pricked were old or fat cunts.

Fuck's sake. I was joking. No need to raise my age and waist. 🙁

How the fuck are all you losers getting offered boosters and I'm not? I'll fucking tell you why. Because the government is keeping true to its word and supporting THE MOST VULNERABLE, leaving those with THE BROADEST SHOULDERS to look after themselves.

But ... Didn't you end up being vulnerable as well?

I took a brief holiday from being absolutely fucking impenetrably rock. Normal service has long since been resumed. 

 

Leave your little New Zealand hobbit house sometime and you might find yourself exposed to bacteria yourself, BilboBilbo!

I'm due my booster now but must admit I'm a bit reluctant, as this particular vaccine has fucked everyone I know who have had it. I'll still go but need to time it so I'm not up to much the next 2 days I think. 

I got the booster yesterday teatime. Been and done the full shop, bought some shelves, put them up and tidied the loft.

 

Man up

Hours from now, CT will be unable to raise a smile, wrapped up and immobile on the outdoor sofa/rats nest while the family keep up a constant supply of Bhuna and Lemsip.

It doesn't stop you getting it, it doesn't stop you passing it on either.

It makes it more difficult for you to catch it though. I'm not having an antivax debate anyway, it's fucking 2022. There's peer reviewed evidence available if people want to educate themselves.

But I don't live in New ...

Ah Fuck it.  Whatever you say bro

[The Fish 10857]

I can get a flu jab and a booster at the same time because of the NHS' mistaken belief that I've got sickle cell anaemia and have had an organ transplant.

 

Hooray for governmental neglect leading to mistakes that benefit me!

See the yanks have been fucking around with the covid virus and have CREATED a version that goes from killing 0% of mice to killing 80% of mice. Hope the security is shit hot.

[Gemmill 44872]

They should just get a cat. 

[catmag 337]

Well this virus business is shit, innit? 

[Alex 35079]

Hope you’re feeling ok. You’ve managed to dodge it so far haven’t you? 

[Holden McGroin 6583]

I know loads of people that dodged it first/second time around and have got it recently.

 

All  been wiped out for a week as well.

You can see the antigen signal grow in strength there over the 3 days. Mine were like that, took a couple of weeks to disappear altogether. I hope your not to badly affected and can take a needed break from work.

I have. 
 

I know exactly where I got it and I’m annoyed but it was pretty unavoidable. It was a vulnerable patient with Covid, Alzheimer’s and constant diarrhoea that I had to clean up several times. I had PPE but it was relentless. Started with fevers on Sun night and have been rotten ever since.

Aye. And you woke me up in the middle of the night
