I'm speaking generally here, but is it a thing that everyone who has attended Warwick University insists on letting you know at every opportunity, and as if it is some sort of highly elite organisation and that they are very, very special. To be frank, without exception I find them a bit of a bore. Anyone else says "we did such and such at uni/university" or "when I was a student at uni" etc etc. Warwick people must be indoctrinated in freshers week to always name drop the 'Warwick, bit.

It will not receive traditional approval until all trials phases have been completed, Oxford Astra-Zeneca, Pfizer and Moderna all currently at Phase 4 which will be complete in 2023. By which time they will have been superseded by 'tweaked' versions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without question it would definitely reduce your own risk of ending up in hospital with Covid but don’t have it for others, it’s something you need to want to do for yourself, as for long term effects? (Perfectly rational thought at such a young age) Nobody actually knows until it finishes the trials/testing in 2023, it’s had emergency approval after all. I’m not some sort of anti covid nut job but I do find the level of public compliance with the vaccine absolutely staggering. This is an absolutely brilliant response and I completely agree with you. People would be quick to label you an anti-vaxxer, when in fact it's more down to the freedom of personal choice - which every single person should be entitled to. I know of a young Nurse who refuses to be jabbed due to the lack of long-term research issue, people are quick to say they should be sacked for not having the jabs - an utter Orwellian response. On the contrary what she actually does is wear clinical-grade face mask, and visor shield to completely mitigate the risks of airborne transmission. A sensible and calculated approach given the circumstances. People should NOT be berated for making their own personal choices regarding their body/health. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in regards the vaccine & why I would need it combating the virus or mitigating symptoms but by the Governments fixation with continued border control. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
