Not sure about this vaccine?
On one side there's world-renowned virologists, medical experts and Noble prize winning scientists saying it's an amazing breakthrough but on the other side Dai from Treherbert says he's seen I am Legend and this is how a zombie apocalypse starts

Very good summary their Mr Birchgrove.
No one has died from the vaccine, many have died from Covid
No one has been hospitalised from the vaccine or had long covid, millions have had both from Covid.

Couldn't agree more! My previous post was a summary of every ones opinion above. I think we should have more faith and optimism and take the vaccine for the reasons mentioned by Bluebina.

Agreed mate, I'm starting to think peoples views on covid and vaccine's mirror their views on life. I've got a mate who is very negative and moans all the time, he hates covid restrictions, and hates the idea of a vaccine and can only see the negatives in it. It's almost like he wants the vaccine to fail so he can carry on moaning and being miserable for longer?

Correct again Bluebina.
I have mirrored and supported your views on this vaccine since the day it became reality but whilst I admire your perseverance and fully support your views on this, I'm glad you have begun to realise "....peoples views on covid and vaccine's mirror their views on life". That realisation was why I ceased posting on the benefits of this vaccine and the dangers of this virus (personally experienced through the loss of loved family members to this brutal virus) because I finally concluded that whatever evidence one posts you will not be able to convince a hard core of anti vaccine people of the benefits of this vaccine versus their manic fear of life harming side effects, in spite of the comfort given by the UK's MHRA.

People with a history of significant allergic reactions should not have the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid jab, regulators say.
It came after two NHS workers had allergic reactions on Tuesday.
The advice applies to those who have had reactions to medicines, food or vaccines, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency said.
The two people had a reaction shortly after having the new jab, had treatment and are both fine now.
They are understood to have had an anaphylactoid reaction, which tends to involve a skin rash, breathlessness and sometimes a drop in blood pressure. This is not the same as anaphylaxis which can be fatal.
Both NHS workers have a history of serious allergies and carry adrenaline pens around with them.

The 2009 swine flu vaccine is one I've seen referenced a lot as an advertisement against the current vaccine. 60 people developed narcolepsy from the 2009 vaccine but it was given to millions in the UK, the chances of developing a side effect from that vaccine were astronomically smaller than the risk of dying from Covid.
The reasons for it's quick development are extremely well documented and this is presumably the most well funded and largest collaborative effort of research and development in medical history.

This is extremely common for most vaccines and jabs. I needed a few different jabs when I went abroad a few years back and every doctor that administered them (multiple trips so different doctors) asked a series of questions about my health with quite a lot of the focus on allergies.
I know people with severe allergies are also warned against getting the flu jab in case of a negative reaction.

Some of these people will die if they eat a peanut, so to have a little reaction to a vaccine is to be expected.

I find it interesting that a lot of the people who have talked about the small chances of Covid killing you, how the media have overplayed it, how cancer kills more each year, etc are now doing the reverse and talking about the dangers of this vaccine and citing troubles with previous vaccines which include examples with even smaller fatality rates than Covid.
I understand the stance of "I don't think Covid is a big deal so I won't get the vaccine because it's not neccesary" but it's the ones who dismiss the risks of Covid but are now extremely vocal in worrying about side effects from the vaccine.

I didn't say it's a small percentage?
I said these people who may die if they eat a peanut, obviously need to take care when taking any medication, because they have a medical problem.

What a crass statement!! A "little" reaction you say,as a sufferer of allergies myself,and suffered anaphylactic shock,on more than one occasion,I guarantee you a "little"reaction its not!!!! How f@cking ignorant are you? Im alright jack type that you are!

My personal experience of people I know and who have been positively tested for this virus is as follows:
Case 1: My 82 year old father in law who had a 13 hour heart operation about 6 years ago was tested positive in a nursing home. He felt very rough and tired for about a week but is now OK.
Case 2: My little Bro, (he's a fat fucker in all honesty), coming up to 50 years of age caught it and was really tired for about 4-5 days. He's back in work now and thinks he's a lean mean fighting machine!!!
Case 3: A friend who had a test because he was traced, diagnosed with Covid and lost money as he wasn't allowed to work but had no symptoms.
I am not being flippant, but does anyone seriously believe this virus is as bad as your Government makes out?

It's a fact, so far people have had a little reaction, people who suffer from anaphylactic shock should be careful what they take regardless, it's not Pfizers fault?
