She's obviously just another Tory idiot.

I hear in the next OED, "Tory" is no longer going to be a word in its own right but will only exist as a prefix and suffix for words meaning of low intelligence or self-serving. It has been accepted in academical circles that all Tories are one or both.
 
Booster booked for next Sunday, would have had it sooner but it's took me ages to shake this dam cold off.
 
Global recorded covid deaths have now passed Five Million.
Five Million souls lost to this dreadful virus.
Five Million bereaved families.
 
I wrote the following in response to some tangential discussions on vaccines on another thread and it seemed a shame to waste it when the thread was closed down.

My understanding is that there are a very, very, very, small number of long-term side effects that have been identified as being the result of any vaccination, ever (the first vaccinations took place in 1798), and that in each case the risks associated with catching what was being vaccinated against was much, much, much higher than any risk of side effects. Every proposed side-effect of the Covid Vaccines is found in much higher percentages in people who have experienced the side-effect as a result of catching the disease (getting a stroke is a good example). This is a good summary of vaccinations and their side-effects,

I even had some lovely links to the complicated measures of efficacy of the various vaccines, which (to me at least) show that while the research isn't definitive, given that there are apparently 96 different vaccines around the world that have been tested in various ways, to varying standards, against varying populations and measured against different outcomes (e.g. infections vs. hospitalisations vs. transmission), the net result is that they are universally more beneficial than not having one.

However, the value falls quite dramatically after about 6 months - hence the need for the booster jab (it also begs the question, why wouldn't this be the case with natural immunity?),
