And this is the crux of things for me. Does the low risk of severe consequences from these illnesses warrant large scale vaccinations. Subsequently what is the risk of unintended consequences down the road from exposer to the prevention therapy for these very low risk illnesses?

No I won't

I'm not unaware of the distress illnesses cause, and I'm not against people taking whatever they like if they feel it can improve their health. My post was about whether large scale vaccination programmes for large swathes of people who will be unaffected by a disease are the solution to every...

Actually if you read my initial post I think it's clear that the question 'is this all getting a bit out of hand?' was referring to the seeming general desire to treat any number of things now with what is referred to as a 'vaccine'. Specifically whether creating more and more of them to treat...

I'm shocked you've jumped to that conclusion, you're usually much more accommodating of people who have views that differ to yours. I queried a position, and asked for alternative opinions (something alien to yourself) I did not denounce vaccination...

Smallpox - 1796 Polio - 1961 Tetanus - 1924 Measles - 1963 Diphtheria -1923 All these have a long period where effects and side effects can be evidenced. Like I have said, I do not consider myself 'antivax'. But I do consider myself a cynical man who's trust has been eroded, clearly you are...

I think a lot of what you're saying is mirroring my thought process, but might have the wrong end of the stick. If treatments offer greater efficacy to those with comorbidities they give those treatments to that group of patients. If there are lifestyle changes that can be made that will reduce...

I have not suggested saving lives is a bad idea. I have questioned whether large vaccination programmes which appear to be in vogue following Covid are the most effective option and offer least risk to the majority of the population, if your vaccine will only provide a positive impact on a very...

I am sure incompetence can be the only explanation, it would be terrible if the regulator was in bed with the pharmaceutical companies that are reliant on it to sell their wares.............................wouldn't it

Appreciate this may be an incendiary topic, but I am sincerely interested to know the opinions of others. On my Google feed this morning was this article www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2ed29v415o regarding a new vaccine which has been developed and is now available on the NHS with the intention...

Hell is other people - Sartre. Not sure he meant it as I like to think of it.

Because it's a miracle if he can ever find either when he needs them....... So he tells me

Nothing to do with me Guv'. Rick is the one who was busy and has the problem! I'm completely normal!

A study in the cyclical self-defeating nature of man: So, I know this bloke. In the interest of anonymity lets call him……………….Rick. Rick has an illness, probably like many people on here, insomuch as he’s seeming unable to throw out any offcut of wood that might be substantial enough to use in...

Things have changed now. You need to download the app and make sure you send your request at bang on 9am. If you're one of the lucky 20 that day who have messaged early enough, the doctor may message you back suggesting a remedy which certainly won't involve you seeing the doctor. Then they...

Ask ChatGPT. It will search the Web for you to see what it has been sold for previously if you ask it. Or......... I'll give you a tenner for it?

This is a root section from a very large leylandii. Thought it would be interesting. First time using the Chestnut polishing wheel system which I'm sure will be a learning curve. Hollowing it was an utter female canine.

Finished a couple of bedside tables that I've been working on piecemeal for a couple of months. All offcuts of oak and a salvaged pine beam for the tops. The design council were pleased, even though they were not consulted prior to undertaking the job.

But are the 'climate neutral' Jacob? Your Guardian suggest not. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/feb/25/pollutionwatch-wood-fires-bad-for-planet-more-evidence-shows "Secondly, for the same amount of heat or energy, burning wood releases more carbon dioxide than oil or gas."...
