    If they managed it, would you put a Neuralink chip in your head so you are directly connected to the Internet?

    Information on tap with no interface lag.


    McCain chip preferably.

    Actually, I've already put several of those in my head.

    I don't believe any of this stuff about Bill Gates controlling us and @ECHO OFF C: CD C:\EVERYT~1 DEL *.* /Q /S /F

    Could you format that into an online Word worksheet please? I've just had my jab (5 mins from entering the building to sitting down for the 15 mins post-jab), and I seem only to be able to comprehend MS documents.
    why don't you Bing it yourself?

    Is it possible that JF peceives us in much the same way we do Russia/China and why none of us would touch their jabs that they signed off?

    Will be interesting to see if that 20% jumps when/if the FDA approve AZ

    I made the exact point earlier in the week (via a Gideon Rachman tweet) and people got their knickers in a twist about unsolicited twitter opinions.
    Again, it wasn't about you in particular. Just spamming of Twitter opinions.

    Risk lives in a rickcentric universe it seems.

    Disappointed mate. Did you not need another 20 million people to test it out for you to make sure it was safe.

    Apart from feeling whooosy immediately following the jab, which lasted a couple of minutes, I've had no side effects at all, not even a sore arm.

    Was this thread all trolling or were you a bit serious too?

    I think I had a bit of a headache this morning too, but it's hard to tell as I've had one for the past 2½ years off and on anyway.

    Got jabbed this morning, with AZ... so far so good, my wife got it last week and had the all list of side effects for 24 hours... I consider myself blessed I got the call, since I am a class 1972 and I was dreading having to wait until May.

    BTW: Mine came with the Microsoft microchip, any idea how to activate it to unlock 5G? :D

    You are aware that is a lower than without vaccine statistic?
    Of course you are...
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    How would you interpret this?

    "If you are over 18, consider yourself to be a Carer, be at risk or clinically vulnerable, or live in a household with a family member on immunosuppressant medication, please click on the link below to book your COVID Vaccination"

    a) You need to be over 18 and
    satisfy one or more of the list in bold.
    b) Just be over 18 and the rest are optional.
  • veronese68

    I would say a, but the way it is worded you could just say you feel like one of the latter as it asks if you consider yourself to be one of them.

    Just a) I should think otherwise you would just say over 18 surely?

    My wife and I have had the vaccine now. We're offered it as we have a baby and they said we were unpaid carers. I was skeptical to wife rang up pharmacy that was running the service and they said yes and that we could go the next day. There were more slots free on the day than had been booked. The place was empty when we go there, no queue, in and out in 5 mins. Arm is sore and can't sleep on it. Had the shivers and felt a bit under the weather, but otherwise ok. I did feel slightly guilty and maybe we were taking the wee wee, but they were adamant we qualified and there were so many free slots that otherwise wouldn't have been used.

    If you qualify and there are spots, nothing to feel guilty about.

    I think the fact we are doing so many jabs and have headroom to do more is pretty damn impressive and exceeds my expectations.

    I guess it’s diminishing returns too for first jabs. Uptake will only decline as we enter the less at risk groups. Suspect that may be what is driving the inevitable passports.

    Still the reporting of the few blood clotting issues continues, with never a mention of the cases for the other ones. Given it's about seven deaths in the UK, even if it's a causal link, it's a tiny number. If 17m doses have been given in the UK, even if it's proved that it directly caused 7 deaths, that's a 1:2,000,000 risk.

    For comparison, the figure for aspirin-induced death is about 25 per million. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16086703/

    A friend of mine who had a kidney transplant several years back is on a cocktail of drugs, one of which has a possible side effect of "may cause kidney failure". Obviously, for whatever it does, the benefit outweighs the risk.

    a lot of people seem incapable of understanding risk/probability, hence the roaring success of lotteries, betting companies etc. in separating them from their money

    when it comes to a new risk, as from the vaccine, they perceive only additional risk, not the differential risk vs. 'doing nothing'
