Does it just say 'Installing Windows Updates' in your eyes now?

Shut up leave the mighty leader alone, all hail Bill Gates. Must kill all Microsoft haters....

The irony of some COVID deniers/ anti-vaxxer types.

"Oh, so you're an expert are you?" - I get asked after I explain how the vaccine wasn't rushed.

No, I am not an expert and I don't pretend to be. But I have read what the experts have to say on the matter and I am just repeating what they have said. Yet, these 'deniers' are the ones disagreeing with the experts. And many of them have apparently not even read up on the subject and, for those who have read it, they still choose to not accept it.

But people like me get accused of acting as though we're experts?

Bonkers.

Nah fuck that. Pay nhs staff what they deserve, and create a social structure that means many ‘essential workers’ aren’t treading the breadline

We don’t need a bank holiday, or 6pm applauses - hollow gestures to make the insulated middle class feel like they’re doing something without having to think too hard to do so

Spot on. Bank Holiday my arse, thought the Tories didn't like gesture politics?

I think they just think we are. An 80-seat majority would suggest they might have a point

I was surprised to have adverse side-effects the day after my first Pfizer jab on Tuesday.  I have heard of others who have also had side-effects, and it's noted as possible in the paperwork they give you.

I felt nauseous all day, felt really tired, got the chills, and was dizzy and wobbley on my feet. Went to bed early.

I wondered if I still have antibodies from when I caught Covid in April,  and whether this might have accentuated the antibody response.

I was super achy and tired after mine too. I had to have an afternoon nap. As far as I know I haven't had Covid. Had a negative antibody test too.

I know of a few people who have had a reaction to the jab much like you Normy, so far I just have a slightly achey arm but no headache or temperature etc that they warned me about even though I have been prepared mentally for such a reaction as apparently its a fairly high percentage that do have those post vaccine symptoms.

[Bob's Orange]

yeah someone we know as well also had these symptoms Normy. I think its fairly 'normal' that these side-effects can happen.

[normy]

Thanks  for your comments guys.  I feel OK today.

MD in Private Eye (Dr Phil Hammond) writes that getting side effects after having the jab are a good thing as it shows that the immune system has responded to the vaccination.

He does note from a straw poll of NHS colleagues that those who get worse side effects (Head aches/arm pain/enlarged lymph glands and higher temperatures) are often those who gace already had  it.

I recall that some were querying what jabs people were getting, some limited information in this https://bylinetimes.com/2021/02/03/uk-world-beating-covid-vaccination-rollout-behind-the-headlines/
