Covid vaccine

[PLD]

The Pfizer vaccine has just been approved for use in the UK:

Just watch those politicians demonstrate it's safe to use... AKA jumping the queue

They can't win either way... If they don't have it the media says they're not confident of it and are using the population as guinea pigs. If they do have it, the media says they're being selfish and jumping the queue.

Please, let's not sink to that level here...

To quote someone recently

"Politicians should have the vaccines first.  If they survive the vaccine is safe, if they don't the country is safe"

Depends on whether a Big Mac is classed as a substantial meal I suppose. Like Scotch eggs

[gmod]Some specific political posts removed. Let's keep politics out of it or we'll have to (sadly) lock the thread[/gmod]

To avoid (or add to?) any confusion I deleted my post PLD has quoted after NPN deleted the posts it was referring to, as he was posting it. So if nothing now makes sense normal service has been restored.

can it even be classed as food?

Just like Marathon and Snickers, I remember when Big Mac was Gannex.

Must be an age thing, I had to look that up.

They were modelled in public by a famous political figure back in the 1960s.

Yes it was favoured by 1960's comedians

Apparently we are getting our stock in next week at the hospital I work at. Yet to hear who is in line for the first round though.....

I can just picture it now. Everyone queuing up in an orderly fashion and then.........................

I've never had a flu jab, either. However, I do listen to doctors orders.

Ten years ago, I felt like death warmed up. Turned out I had iron overload.

I've been dumping blood ever since, which keeps my Iron under control. Got two before Christmas, actually! 

Haemachromatosis carrier, hey.  A gift from bubonic plague survivors.   How many "defective" genes?
I got one gene out of the four, luckily one of the two least deadly ones.  Wife has same gene so of course do my three children, genetics wins.
Made 1,130 on the ferritin levels.  Doctor was quite surprised.  Drained me three times, 600ml each time, in two weeks to get it down to around 350.

When I felt really ill, my Iron level was 2300. It's currently sitting at 550, but the two dumps before Christmas should fix me up. First one in the morning!

Los Angeles just issued an emergency stay at home notice, and the rest of California will probably follow.

The Venture Capitalists in the valley are now investing in lorries with big signs saying "Bring out your Dead"
