Pfizer. No side effects so far.
Didn't check under the mask yet...

1st. The second must go in the opposite arm to correct the asymmetry caused by 5G control signal received by the microchip.

I felt Ok after the first jab. 2nd jab I had the documented side effects I never had .. e.g. as if I had food poisoning.
What's done is done and cannot be undone.


There is a roaring business here for test centres. Seems any idiot can set one up. With taxpayer's money.

Just a little ache in the arm if I had to be very strict in reporting side-effects. My T-zone was attacked by pimples before I took the vaccine. My I-zone is fine, but binoculars necessary for far sight... not as far as the B-zone though (a.k.a. Arctic muskox).

The airports just as crowded as before corona (or more?).

I've hardly known anyone who's had Covid. And I've heard far more stories about old people dying alone from non Covid than dying from Covid. 

And until last week I knew very few people who even had it. And then last week many young people I know have suddenly been infected. None seriously though.

OK, having nearly been killed by this stupid bug, I need to object at least feebly to this Trump/BJ/JB narrative that it’s all fake news and no lockdown should ever be imposed on anyone. And, by the way, anybody who actually died (4+ million) surely deserved to die anyway. And, indeed, would have, sooner or later. As far as England is concerned, the more the merrier. 100K+ new cases per day seems plausible by early August, but it won’t actually kill all that many people. You’ll be a breeding ground for new variants, but realistically not quite on the same scale as India and Brazil, since England just isn’t all that big.

You we're in the hospital, hence the particularly high risk of infection - lockdown or not.

Yeah - it’s actually not crystal clear whether I was infected in the hospital or just before being admitted, but that was very early in the game. My main point, which I did not make particularly well, is that it is a very unpleasant disease. And it’s in the category of “what doesn’t kill you makes you weaker”. So encouraging people to get it is not nice.

I believe that at an individual level it may be better for some to get it and for some to get vaccinated. The option of getting neither seems unrealistic.
I decided to get the jab considering my current circumstances (living in a scarcely populated country with low incidence of Covid, contacting almost nobody). Had I been in the middle of the epidemic in London, I would have passed (most likely I would have caught corona anyway before my turn).

There was a record surge in vaccine bookings across France today following yesterday's announcement that people will need a "health pass" to eat in restaurants or go to the cinema.

Trump’s henchmen (and women) on Fox News are hell bent on spreading the anti-vaxx gospel (like the great white fucking missionaries they perceive themselves to be). The goal is presumably to sow as much doubt as possible about government and try to kill as many people as possible in the name of wrecking the recovery and making Biden a half-term president. Nothing could be more important than that. While they are mostly killing their own, which is a good thing, they sadly won’t take out enough of them at the current pace.
