That's a lie anyway, or just an uneducated post, this is not the case and your children are not forced to have vaccines or else they cannot attend school. Many people choose not to have vaccines for different reasons, medical, religious etc. but I'm glad it's ok by you to exclude people based on these and their basic human rights of having a say what they do or don't do with/put into their bodies.
Near normal existence for a virus that is over 99% survivable without the need for a vaccine or anything other than the bodies normal immune system, granted whilst older peopled *far end of the spectrum of old age) are more susceptible as well as those with pre-existing serious life threatening conditions and weakened immune systems, this is no different from any other type of coronavirus when it comes to those groups of people and by all means, they and anyone else who wishes to have the vaccine should indeed take it.
What blurs the lines is the fact that Matt Hancock has refused to rule out mandatory vaccines, we have no plans he said, not, we would never force something upon citizens of the UK that they would be against, they have also implied that lockdown will continue until most of the populace has been immunised and he hopes that most people will do it to get back to normal, basically a bribe, have the vaccine, get back to normal quicker. Why, when most of the population will have none/little effects of covid and those that do will be mild, excluding the aforementioned at risk groups. Which I'm in no way suggesting we should throw under a bus BTW.
Hospitals have never been near to breaking point in the UK since this pandemic, neither the first wave nor the second, in fact you can find many sources where you can compare ICU occupation from this year and previous years and if anything it has been lower this year, now add normal ICU uptake to the total number of covid ICU patients and it should be higher? Also people have not been able to see GP's since March, thousands of surgeries and treatments have been cancelled/postponed, I wonder how many more people have lost their lives due to going undiagnosed/diagnosed late, with something that would have been pre-covid? or indeed how many people have missed out on treatments they should have had that has led to a poorer quality of life for the because of covid? Are there statistics and data on the effect of peoples mental health during lockdown, including depression and suicides? Mental health services are just as inaccessible as most other "non-essential" health services these days.
Everyone's arm waving that I mentioned the H word
ok... I'll give you that one, unnecessary.
However when you put hundreds of thousands of people out of business permanently for a virus that statistically speaking has no more of a detrimental effect on mortality than a
bad bout of seasonal flu and you add up the people who have lost their livelihoods, the increase in suicide rates, mental health, domestic crime, poverty etc etc then the cure seems worse than the disease.
The UK government has openly said that they have lied (misinterpreted
) the data on the number of covid related deaths, this has been made public though obviously hasn't got the widespread and continued attention that the virus itself has, so has the US and likely more countries. They have openly talked about freedom passports, you don't have the vaccine you're ability to live life "normally" could be restricted, these are not conspiracy theories I'm cooking up in my head, these have been quoted from the UK government and have been published in the mainstream media outlets all for a virus that severly affects a very small percentage of people in a very serious way, you'd pretty much think it was almost like ALL other viruses in the world? ... Also to note, miraculously other coronavirus and respiratory illness deaths are down compared to previous years, all except for covid 19 that is...
Anyway, I'm going to say no more on it, though it's nice to see democracy in the UK is alive and well and whilst not the most eloquent at constructing an elaborate argument and probably invite a lot of the criticism I've received on myself... I still don't expect to be ostracised for exercising my god-given and UK democratic right to still be able to say what goes on with/into my own body, though from the sounds of it a few of you would gladly pin me down and make me have the miracle vaccine that is going to return life to normal come 2021 despite my chances of having it and having it in a bad way are probably slimmer than the vaccine doing any good for me
P.S to the mods, I think this post and the ones previous to it above me should stay right where they are as they are completely relating to the UK and thus relevant to the UK clubhouse, I will however make this my last post on the matter for fear of lynching and becoming a social pariah
Co-codamol is a lot more effective due to the codeine in it, 32mg (codeine) would be preferential however this is only available on prescription so the best you can hope for is 8mg over the counter from a pharmacist but it sure beats paracetamol on it's own, also, ibuprofen is a an anti-inflammatory so helps with swelling and can also be more effective than paracetamol with certain types of pain especially dental pain as I have had my fair share of it on several occasions and developed what I affectionately call hamster cheek.... tooth abscess with painful gum and jaw swelling and inflammation
On top of that, salt water/saline mouthwashes can provide fairly quick relief, not too mention a good shot or 3 of whiskey rinsed around the mouth and swallowed thus after hiccup
). It doesn't actually say anything to back up an anti-vaccination stance, it simply (and rightly) points out the Gov has massaged the science to suit its aims. But what it calls for (the article) is a clear and transparant message of the truth. That message from medical professionals is still the same - Covid-19 requires our country to recognise the dangers of the virus.
