Thread:

Vaccines and the Clinically Extremely Vulnerable (CEV)
A new study has highlighted how patients with an impaired immune system may respond to the Covid vaccine, so I thought it was worth another thread for the hard of thinking who have spent the last year with their...
....head up Facebook's arse, getting their internet doctorate in Pretendy Medicine (Hons)

I recently read a post in which the author - a magnificently stupid specimen, I might add - dismissed the CEV with a "Well, they've had their jabs now, so they need to get back to fucking..
...work, like the rest of us"
Now obviously I can't be there in person to explain to this fool the error of their ways, or at least not until I get the injunction lifted, so I thought here was as good a place as any.

Having a vaccine is rather like buying a piece of flat-pack...
....furniture from IKEA. You are now, in theory, the proud owner of a new bookcase. It's just that the hard bit still lies ahead.
When you get your Covid jab, it's a bit like that. You are not being injected with immunity, as some of the Mumsnet Militia appear to think, you are..
....injected with the instructions to make your own.
Now - for most of us, this works. Our immune system says "Right, you bastards, I am cooking with gas now!" and sets about making the antibodies required to kill the virus. We've got the pieces, we've got the instructions; ...
.... in a few weeks we'll have the bookcase, to use the IKEA reference.
But this is where is gets really difficult for some of the CEV, especially those with compromised immunity. They have the instructions - check that box. But they don't have the parts. With the best will in ..
...the world, they are not going to be able to make that bookcase without the parts. Let's say you are someone with an auto-immune disease; you are being treated with drugs to suppress your immune response. It doesn't matter how many times I inject you with the vaccine, it's not
...going to work because the drugs you have to take to keep you going ensure that you don't have the ability to make the parts

Now - I don't know if you have ever assembled a piece of IKEA furniture, but it's hard enough with the instructions, and fucking impossible without.
Now imagine how hard it is without the parts, and you are where some of the Clinically Extremely Vulnerable are. Up Shit Creek, with the instructions for how to make a paddle, but with no wood.
And this is why the vaccine is so, so important for the CEV. The difference is, they really, really need YOU to take it.
If enough of us have the vaccine, it will greatly reduce the reservoir of Covid in the community, and in doing so provide some protection for those who can't..
...use the instructions within the vaccine to build their own immunity. All by the simple process of reducing the chances of them catching it.
So that in a nutshell is why you need to take the vaccine - you are protecting yourself and you are helping to protect others. If you are too brainwashed by the utter dicks who hang around anti-vaxx sites, then maybe you should find somewhere new to hang out?

I have read so much utter tosh online about vaccines, I thought it might be useful to have a very simple guide for those who have been Facebooked into stupidity. Please critique to your heart’s content, but I want to keep this very basic.
So, when we are exposed to a specific virus for the first time, our immune system basically says “Oooh, ya fucker!” and sets about making antibodies to destroy the invader, hopefully before the invader, ie the virus, wins. The thing is, this takes a while - the body has no
memory of this particular virus, no blueprint, so it is starting from scratch. This is particularly challenging for some of us who have other illnesses or a weakened immune response.
What vaccines do, in simple terms, is cause us to produce those antibodies so that we WILL have

What do these people all have in common?

They all worked in NHS management or the Department of Health.

Dido Harding?
Used to sell phones.

As a former NHS employee, this is my question:
Are they taking the piss?
If anyone wants to know what is wrong with Westminster, go and read Dominic Cummings' blog. Yes, it's fucking hilarious that he's ratted out his ex-mate Boris Johnson, but look at what he's actually saying - that they had their own little task force of "good people" with .....

British foxes spoke out today in a desperate call for shit actor and clueless Nazi politician Laurence Fox to stop using their name.
“He’s shitting on us from a height” said a spokesman we are calling ‘Dave’, who agreed to talk to us on condition of anonymity
#laurencefox
“It’s not easy being a fox at the best of times” said Dave, “But this scruffy fucker is seriously taking the piss now. We have really cleaned up our act, we haven’t bitten any babies in ages, and we’ve even agreed to a voluntary curfew on the hours during which....”
“....we will wake you by shagging enthusiastically by the bins, but it’s all for nothing when this lanky streak of piss ruins it for everyone”
Dave says it has been an emotional time for him and his fellow vulpines, who feel that years of progress has been wasted.
“Once ....

Another thread in the saga of that wallpaper
#CarrieAntoinette
#CashForCushions
#MajorSleaze

So it's been a few days, and things must be settling down now in that hallowed seat of power, 10 Downing Street, yes?

Er - well, not so much
Basically, the tactic of waving away all questions with a lofty "This is a farrago of nonsense" has failed more miserably than a Sunderland supporter at the full-time whistle. The claim that the Great British Public was not interested was also cobblers
In fact, the contrary is true - the GBP is more riveted than Harland and Wolff's Riveter-in-chief. The original story has now fathered (no pun intended) numerous articles looking back at the PM's 'colourful' private life, his various scrapes and why his finances are in such dire

So, a thread about #CarrieAntoinette and that wallpaper.

Princess Nut Nuts, fed up of living in the tatty filth left by the previous two occupants, and unwilling to suffer the indignity of John Lewis furniture, decides to give her fiancé’s gaff a makeover.
Now, Carrie has a loose grasp on what belongs to her, as the Conservative party found out when she put in her expense claims, which is why she got the boot - oh, and she was also useless, but you knew that already. According to her friends, she has ‘exquisite taste’. I doubt that
I doubt it on the basis of the fact that she shares her life with a man who looks like he covered himself with glue then ran naked through an Oxfam shop. In any case, Carrie decides she cannot carry on living in this filth, and she needs to cover the walls with gold.

Re: The Downing St refurbishments.

Okay, don't @ me for this, but I have questions:
Downing St doesn't belong to the incumbent, so shouldn't any necessary maintenance and refurbishment be the responsibility of the government? In which case, what was actually done to No 10, and..
...why is Johnson paying for it? If it wasn't necessary work to preserve the fabric of the building or make it habitable, but as a result of him fancying a change, then he should rightly be footing the bill. However, why would someone fork out all that money on a place which.....
.....doesn't belong to him and which he might be turfed out of any day? It would like me paying to redecorate a hotel room where I was staying for a short while until my house purchase was completed; I'm not going to get the benefit of it, so why would I? And this is what seems..
