I wonder what the vaccine booster takes up rate is currently? Has to be closed to zero. I know one person out of hundreds that gets the booster. Of course, they got ill after a jab recently but couldn't join the dots. Yes, one of those
I was in our local health centre a couple of weeks ago for my annual medicine review following my HA (caused by the vaccine?) and there were lots of elderly awaiting their CV shot.

There have been reported studies that psychological symptoms like anxiety and stress as well as concentration and learning problems due to wearing a mask. Not to mention the lowering of immune systems by not picking up colds and flus throughout the year that we would normally catch that strengthens our immune systems. The masks don't work anyway so I guess this would not be such a huge impact. Regardless I'm glad I and my family opted out of mask wearing. I must confess a guilty pleasure of late. Whenever I pass someone wearing a mask these days I start "coughing" Contradiction alert. Masks don't work but they stop you getting colds and flu. Which is it? The right masks work. Theatre masks help protect others from you but they don't protect the wearer. Cloth masks are us useful as a chocolate fireguard.

What may have been a contributing factor is everyone staying in their homes for months and then all of a sudden socializing and picking up those normal colds and flus that we get throughout the year.

Where I had it they were treating two per minute every hour between 9 and 5 every day of the week. Nobody I know has got ill from the vaccine. Many have had bad bouts of Covid this year though. Me included. Put me in bed for several days.

Had they had to pay up to £85 they might not have been so keen.

What may have been a contributing factor is everyone staying in their homes for months and then all of a sudden socializing and picking up those normal colds and flus that we get throughout the year. I worked in Hospitals all over the South East throughout covid. I was fortunate in that I was given FFP2 masks and I wore goggles as well. Yes I looked a t*** on the underground, but given the number of selfish f***wits not wearing masks it was a good call. I didn't get a cold or flu for 3 years. I got covid but only when I couldn't wear a mask. At the dentist. The assistant had it! The statement that "masks don't work" is incorrect. The correct masks do work. FFP3 being the best. I had access to those when I had a high risk shout to deal with, I also had full body suits and gloves as well. FFP 3's were a git to breath in. Those working with covid patients full time had my utmost admiration. By high risk shout I mean working in an area containing covid patients. I didn't get it due to the precautions we took. I have had to suit up and mask up a number of times during my career. Not just for covid. There are a number of airborne/liquid transmittable ailments that need to be avoided. If you had to work on a device that had blood contamination, would you say Nuh, don't need gloves or a mask!

I know they don't but everyone else does. It's a lot of money for those who might have already had it twice and not found it too bad.

If they were considered at high risk from Covid then they would be provided on the NHS. Obviously those who have already had Covid and/or been vaccinated and are in the younger age groups are not regarded as high risk. If I had not had it and not yet been vaccinated then I would be seriously considering paying.

Those who don't regularly get the flu jab are unlikely to get this one either.
