Will you have to pay for yours, Slim?

Looks like the gravy train has hit the buffers

Are you asking if I'm under 65?

Not particularly but I'm wondering if you are still keen enough to foot the cost.....if you are under 65

[Slim]

Well there a few variables to consider:

• Has the risk to myself changed?
• Has the risk to others changed?
• What's the cost?

Clearly the risk to myself and others has changed substantially since the last time I was immunised, but is it low enough to give the vaccine a pass? I don't know but I'll be interested to consider the government's decision in greater detail than I have at the moment.

I'll probably be eligible for a freebie on a medical technicality.  Might just take advantage of my free winter flu jab, as that virus is apparently more prevalent again. We'll see.

As I'm on immunosuppressants and also working with a vulnerable group I'd always be entitled to free jabs. Like you Matt will definitely get the autumn flu jab

Covid booster?

As things stand, no. Must admit, my perception on big pharma has changed somewhat over the last year. Along with blood pressure and blood thinner medication since I had the stent last year, I've also been prescribed statins.

Looking into this medication has made me realise that they probably do more harm than good. The cholesterol that lined my arteries was due to my over consumption of sugar and was the result of inflammation which caused the lining of my blood to be plastered in the stuff.

If there's a fire, you wouldn't try to prevent the smoke! That's what statins do. They treat the symptom, not the cause. Cholesterol is actually a vital part of our metabolic system and shouldn't be suppressed.

Due to the over consumption of sugar, and highly processed foods (alcohol and smoking too) we constantly cause damage our bodies.

I'm not really into conspiracies but I think we need to look at the shit put out on supermarket shelves and the resulting medication needed as a result of consuming it. Big pharma and big food companies in league together? Wouldn't surprise me.

Slim made a nice hat. I can lend it you when I'm done with it

Pass it on. The feckers won't get me!

Think coincidence, not conspiracy. It's the phrase keeping me almost sane at present.

I should get my 'flu jab as usual this autumn. If I need to pay for the latest covid flavour, I probably will. Make that definitely. It would be relatively cheap I would think.

Me and GB News on the same side?

All described as 'conspiracy theories':

Covid-19 pandemic was the result of a lab-leak
WIV was involved in 'gain of function' research funded by the US
Nordstream pipeline was destroyed by the US
Hunter Biden's laptop
Fear was used to control during the pandemic
Governments collude with social media companies to silence dissenting voices
Nazis battallions were operating in eastern Ukraine on behalf of the Ukranian government
Russian influence in the 2016 US election was bullshit

You can understand why those tin-foil titfers are high fashion at the moment
