Great news. But it wont stop entirely. Pity that some folk (anti-vax morons) choose to believe quack Web pages rather than scientists and verified medical papers.

Yep, a big for the NHS in implementing an all encompassing approach to an illness...

Just a shame a certain political 'leader' wants to get rid of the NHS!

Proper vaccines work brilliantly, and have done for many decades.

The Covid thing wasn't a vaccine, it was some untested new miracle cure thing, chucked together in a hurry to fleece the government while they were panicking.

Against my better judgement, I got the jab. I got covid during what should have been the peak of its protection about a month after the second shot. As did my other half.

So we got no benefits, plus a load of unknown possible side-effects from an untested jab.

This is what happens when people don't understand how vaccines work. When you get infected by germs vaccines make your immune system work faster. Sometimes fast enough you can never tell you were infected, often enough to make the symptoms gentler.

Yes, that's what the snake oil salesman said.

In reality we were both knocked sideways by it for weeks. It had zero effect.

If you're in a car crash and you still get a flailed chest even though you're wearing a seatbelt does that mean it had zero effect?

It wasn't a vaccine, it was nonsense. It wasn't developed in a similar way to any existing vaccine, it was some new completely untested science.

It didn't prevent it, make recovery quicker or prevent it spreading.

Which one of the vaccines are you objecting to again?

Himmy logic, not intelligent debate.

Right, because you had a control group living in your house against which to measure your outcomes,
