Monkeys Fist 7,393 Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Is Jesmond Dene more than 5 miles from Renton Towers?? 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Rayvin 1,333 Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 So is one shot of the vaccine all it takes then? I thought you needed two. Or has Renton been lucky enough to have had both? Link to post Share on other sites

Slipped on black ice and went arse over tit, banged my head and was mildly concussed. Nearly broke my neck, was thinking it would be quite an ironic way to die. Waking up this morning I'm aching all over and have mild whiplash in my neck. Life is an absolute shit show at the minute. 🤬 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I'm wondering if they're taken the chance to research if it makes a difference. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Theyve got a detection system where they chirp using your phone, handy when at the back of the sofa, bot all use next to a water fall! Anyway, I had to give up (£150 wasted), but found them in my hood when I got back fortunately. I can see the funny side fortunately.

Its apparently wise to be vaccinated even if you’ve had it though, increased immmunity from infection is only thought to be five months or so... Link to post Share on other sites

You're then due a booster, mine was scheduled for 6 weeks but has been delayed to happen "within 12 weeks". Its likely immunity will last that long, but not certain. Link to post Share on other sites

There's no evidence either way. It seems highly likely that transmission will be significantly reduced though. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Bad luck Bambi, you've fucked it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

The efficiency is well below 90 percent after one shot and it is strongly recommended not to wait more than 42 days for the second shot as there is no data about the efficiency after that time.

I think that 52% figure is really misleading, as it was mainly vaccine failure immediately after vaccination. Quote A paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine stated that the efficacy of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine was 52.4% between the first and second dose (spaced 21 days apart).5 However, in its “green book” Public Health England said that during the phase III trial most of the vaccine failures were in the days immediately after the first dose, indicating that the short term protection starts around day 10.6 Looking at the data from day 15 to 21, it calculated that the efficacy against symptomatic covid-19 was around 89% (95% confidence interval 52% to 97%). Meanwhile, Pfizer has said that it has no evidence that the protection lasts beyond the 21 days. https://www.bmj.com/content/372/bmj.n18 I've discussed this with work colleagues. Normally I'd be completely against going against a product licence in this way. But imo, the gravity of the situation demands drastic action if we want to maximise the saving of lives. But it's a risk and my colleagues don't agree with me. I was happy with 6 week spacing, I admit much less so with 12 week spacing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

All the lads were out and we were on our way up to the gate and I went arse over tit on some ice & proper slammed off the floor face first. Because it was the early 2000s and I was a kid I had a pocket full of change, so when I hit the deck it scattered for a fucking mile. I was skint enough to have to pick it up. Punchline is my jeans had separated at the seams....so I had to go home. The first thing I heard after the coins had scattered was... ”hya is that yer new break dance like!?” 5 Link to post Share on other sites
