There were the TB tests and vaccinations at school, with all your classmates winding each other up about the pain of it and the potential dire consequences. Rather like social media these days.

That took a while, my wife's a nurse, had her first one a couple of weeks ago. Just got a "warning" letter to look out for a letter re the second jab.

Why would anybody decline the offer to have a vaccine that may or may not have an effect? Isn't it better to take it up in the hope that by your action you could help, either your family, friends or others? Do you trust everybody about you to have taken all precautions available to them? If so then they are as reliant on you and your family?

It's funny how your perspective changes when you see so many people needlessly die from this, first hand, in person!...

This ^^^^

When I'm working in the Covid ICU, I've seen patients from their early 30's upwards, conscious, with what is easiest to describe as a firfighters BA kit, on gasping for breath, terrified and in tears.

Patients can only sustain this for so long then become exhausted and unable to breathe for themselves.

At this point they then have to be put into a induced coma, be intubated, and put onto a ventilator, where over time, and with intensive care, and if strong enough their immune system can beat the virus, and they can be brought round and extubated although some do then relapse if the virus re-emerges.

If not, the virus overwhelms them and they go into multi organ failure and sadly die.

Staff try (and I know this seems cold) to stay detatched emotionally, but when a patient is gasping for breath and pleading with you not to let them die, its heartrending and the emotional toll on some of us frontline staff will last for years.

Trouble is these deniers don't see this playing out every day and night in hospitals everywhere.

I volunteered to work in Covid ICU as a Critical Care Assistant and have learned so much and gained a lot of confidence but hours in full PPE (Hooded type boiler suit, goggles, respirator, double rubber gloved and overshoes) is horrible.

My wife got the NHS letter about vaccination on Sunday, on Monday our GP contacted and arranged "Jab" for Wednesday 09.40.a.m. all done no problems. My daughters mother in law in Worcestershire -a 86yold had the jab at her home yesterday( they had her on the records as none ambulatory) so the practice nurse visited and did the business. She is a very active 86 yold so a bit of luck for her. My French contact a 75 yold living in small town Uzes, Gard has been told it maybe as long as two months before they get theirs- the Maire said, "to many pensioners" Chris S.
