think you will not be alone among the older generation who may take up a wait and see approach to the vaccine. years of life experiance has taught us to be wary of things that sound too good to be true and we are not taken in as easy as the younger folk are on this and the majority of subjects.

Yes, Margaret, there are a lot of things to think about regarding the vaccine – and especially the short time it has taken from being developed to being called safe to use. When you consider how long it normally takes for vaccines and other medications to be developed and made available, the speed with which this vaccine is being marketed as being (potentially) safe is a bit of a worry (well more than a bit).

As we all know, there’s a common-sense reason for testing regarding any newly developed vaccines and such. There are numerous stages to go through before this gets passed and made available which can take several years. What makes this one different?

I am definitely not against vaccinations – I have my flu jab every year and recently had the whooping cough one (have got a new great-granddaughter and this is the recommended thing to do). I was quite willing to roll up my sleeve for these as they have been well and truly tried and tested, but I will hesitate to have the COVID one.

This vaccine is being allowed a licence before all the usual testing has been completed because it is considered an emergency measure.
It has been tested on a relatively small number of young, fit healthy adults(I would hazard that most would be Male....they do not usually like to test on females because of the risks in pregnancy).
The assumption is that because it had a 90% efficacy in the test sample, it MAY achieve that in older populations, but there is no guarantee that it will.

The other worrying aspect is that this is a modified RNA vaccine (NEVER USED BEFORE ON HUMANS) that will be inserted into your genetic code....once it is in there, that is it...it is impossible to remove and it is never going to wear off.
That is not to say that it will continue to protect you from Coronavirus.....the stimulation of an antibody and T cell response is anything but certain.

The media hype is sweeping everyone along and many people will just roll up their sleeve and get it without a second thought.

they actually think its us oldies that are selfish and are the cause of a lot whats wrong in society. living in houses too big for them, voting brexit, having too much money to spend on cruises and saga holidays, racists etc. etc. never in my lifetime has the older generation been disliked by many as we are now.

if that bribe comes in than i for one will be finished with football and holidays. i have managed for weeks now giving shops a miss because of face muzzles so it could be just another permanent restriction on my life. at least my lad will have more money to throw away once i snuff it.

just be careful what you say about the vaccine even if its correct. big brother are after dissenters with the labour party now banging its pinky drum. free speach as long as those at the top agree with it.

Of course the vaccine will be 100% safe, you wont turn into a zombie and walk the streets, neither will it make you ill, alter your dna or worse - kill you.

The government are absolutely correct in what they say and how they have done it - brilliant job Boris old chum - bravo.

Ill be having the vaccine as soon as I can - in fact I think Ill have 2, and will be taking all my family for it.

(just in case the government spies are reading this forum).
Regulars can ignore everything I said on here today :)
