As everything seemed to be Covid settling down, our lad, wife, his wife's sister, husband and one baby got on a plane to Pattaya for a few days.... They have all now got covid, including the baby......???? Hi Trans. I'm unsure if you are suggesting that it was the plane, Pattaya or just bad luck that they went down with Covid? We have been told that a truckload of jabs will hopefully ease the situation but not prevent it. Here's to a quick recovery for all.???????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It lessens the chance of death or hospitalisation hopefully reducing the severity of the symptoms. The annual UK flu vaccine is only 50% effective as medical authorities have to predict which variant will be circulating. But the prevalence of colds and flu have diminished due to mask use. Worryingly in the UK the dreaded polio is making a come back because of anti vaccine ignorance and superstition in certain 'diversity communities ' ... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main reason is its a condition of employment required for occasional work in my field which is overseas and requires an up to date vaccine record to be considered. I need to feed the wife and kids, 'nuff said. I couldn't give a hoot about the anti and pro vax agenda driven narratives. Fair call. I really do wonder how many had the jabs purely from a employment, travel or business need. A lot of people "had a gun put to their head". Aa you correctly say........gotta put food on the table.

I assume you must be a hermit then and had the shots, contacted Covid, and then went back to your cave. It is either that or you are all living in a very close community!

That may be true for your friends and family, but as a generalization this is simply nonsense. MY whole family plus relatives and friends are living examples of this. All vaccinated and no one ever had Covid. But I also know one person who was not vaccinated and died of Covid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None have gotten covid. as for how many vaxxed are having serious side effects, oh well ....... I do believe even mainstreet sites are starting to talk about that. maybe if y'all searched a bit you might find people like that guy on youtube that you used to trust giving out some news on the subject. don't get me wrong. its your decision individually. and mine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biden, Fauci, Walensky (head of CDC ) all said if you take the shot you will NOT get Covid or pass it to others . They have acknowledged that was a mistake, and what they should have said was vaccination will keep you out of an ICU, and also minimize the chances of long COVID. All the data coming in from every country in the world confirms that. Personally, I had COVID after two jabs. 3 days of runny nose and sore throat, back in my normal exercise routine after 5 days. My unvaccinated GF had COVID for 10-12 days, with extra symptoms of loss of taste and smell, and headaches. A friend of mine in Chiang Rai, unvaccinated, had fatigue for several months after infection, typical of long COVID. The science and data is saying COVID vaccination works. As it has with a slew of other diseases. If people who choose not to be vaccinated want to play dice with COVID, their choice, but don't come asking me for crowdfunding as you are heading into an ICU, or a prolonged rehabilitation program. I had my Pfizer booster in February. My strategy is to treat COVID vaccination as an annual event, just like flu, and continue with diet and exercise to keep my immune system strong.

Both girlfriend (2 x Sinovac + 1 AZ booster) and unvaccinated daughter had Covid around end of January.. I had had my booster on Boxing Day, so must have been pretty well protected as I was the only one who didn't catch it. Even though I was in close contact with them all the time they were isolating. Daughter then caught it a second time at Songkran at same time as me. I just think that immunity wanes after a few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
