It's a two-pet job to clean the dust from under the cabinet.

Puddin and Kaiden, both stick together like glue.

Association between myocarditis and COVID vaccines is actually quite well established in science already, only the estimated incidence rates vary - sometimes quite widely - from study to study. It might be a low risk, but it's still a risk, especially in young men, and it absolutely should be taken seriously, and such findings should influence public health policies. For example, in numerous studies, the risk of myocarditis in men under 40 after vaccination with Moderna was estimated to be higher than their risk of myocarditis from COVID infection, so it's pretty obvious that for this demographic, Moderna is not the best choice of vaccine and shouldn't be used (and several countries already banned it for under 40s for this specific reason). Similarly, those who experienced heart issues after mRNA vaccination, should be offered a different kind of vaccine (virus vector, protein subunit, etc) for their booster as a precaution instead of dismissing their concerns. Honestly, I find both extremes equally annoying - those who actively advocate against vaccines and encourage people not to take it, and those who vehemently defend it and refuse to consider the shortcomings and potential dangers of it. It's clearly helpful in preventing severe course of disease and deaths, and it also clearly has shortcomings (lack of protection against infection and transmissibility, for example) and potentially serious negative side effects for certain people (myocarditis with mRNA vaccines for young men, CVT & VITT with viral vector vaccines for young women). Research is still ongoing and will be for years, there will likely be new findings and arguments for and against, so to me, it's an extremely weird hill to die on. Just a few days ago, there was an editorial in BJM (British Journal of Medicine) calling all vaccine manufacturers to make their data freely available publicly for independent analysis - which is definitely a very reasonable thing to ask, given that the data is supposed to be behind major public health interventions, and yet it is still not accesible for researchers, doctors and the general public.

Happy to take my chances. Vaccines may have done you more harm than good and that's fine. Doesn't mean it's the same for everyone but the figures and facts (i.e. general evidence) show vaccines have prevented serious harm or death on a worldwide scale .

Five Australian journalists were murdered in 1975 by the Indonesian government (they really like executing Australians) and Roger West went to uncover the truth behind this massacre and was executed himself. David McBride did the exact same thing as Julian Assange, except he blew the whistle on Australian war crimes in Afghanistan, and the government and opposition offers none of the same ‘support’ (as if) they give to Assange and are trying to bleed McBride to death with a thousand short knifes. Whistle blowers are heroes more often than not, the balls it takes is astounding. It is like Australia couldn’t bear that the USA is trying to bury Assange and felt it had to do it one of their citizens. But conversely to McBride, Ben Roberts-Smith a war criminal is a ‘good boy and a patriot’ that gets his legal battle paid by Channel 7. Sorry I went into the deep end of the pool

I usually go for a top sirloin if I cook myself. Good price-quality ratio, lean but still enough marbling for plenty of flavour.

There's a lot more evidence of Long Covid causing people long term health complications than the vaccines. Vastly more. What strikes me is how these mad people can simultaneously hold anti-vaccine and anti-lockdown positions. If you were actually successful in convincing people en masse not to take the vaccine, the health service would be getting hammered by a lot more seriously ill Covid patients and we probably would have had to increase the amount of restrictions through the winter again, and the same people that caused it by endorsing the anti-vax movement, would have been cry-arsing the loudest about the loss of their freedoms. Vaccine take up along with a milder variant has us in sight of the other side of this thing (touch wood). If you don't want to have it and want to selectively pedal "I heard this, that and the other" scare stories then by all means, crack on. But if the rest of us had all refused the vaccines like the nutty minority, we'd still be in a cycle of locking down every few months to shield the NHS, the waiting lists for cancer care and just about every other treatment would be stacking up even further, our kids would continue to see their education and childhood ripped to shreds. Etc. Etc. I believe it is a personal choice to take the vaccine. Nobody should have it forced upon them, even healthcare workers, and hopefully as the pandemic recedes, the pressure to get vaccinated goes with it to some extent. But there is no vaccine debate anymore. They have done us a lot more good than they've done us harm. This is now a fact, not an opinion, and we shouldn't be scared to say it.

Ah, maybe it'll come back again. They always do

Apparently when Ronaldo was subbed off he asked Rangnick, “why me? Why not the younger players?” Shortly after, United scored and Rangnick responded “That’s why”.

Happy Blue is a lost cause.

Vaccines haven't done me or anyone I know any harm. Haven't come down with any more colds or flu than usual or suffered any side effects. No heart problems, hair loss, nobody I know has had their willy fall off. To be fair they might not have told me if they had. The benefits are pretty good though, a highly vaccinated population allowing for us to live our normal lives, freely see family and friends, play football, watch football with full stadiums again, keep schools open so I can do my job normally again, all without risking overwhelmed hospitals and loads of people dying. More harm than good though yeah.

He's in the United States with his family as far as I know.

Walter is now Gunther. I know they want to own the rights to everyone's name and they probably can't with Walter as he had that before WWE and it's his real name but come on... He's an amazing big man, arguably the best in the world but Gunther isn't a name to take seriously.

Forget about the name and just think that we're interviewing a manager with this CV: Grief.

Exactly. My Dad is in his 60s and has diabetes. He's otherwise fit and healthy and probably has another 20 years in him. If Covid had got him it would have been "underlying health conditions". I couldn't care less what Farage has to say and what his latest grift is as he attempts to claw back a sliver of relevance.

Only 17,000 people have died purely of covid, this is not made up it's facts!

He's a great player either way and has been a key part of a lot more wins than losses but maybe this isn't a time to mention that...

Oops, sorry! There were a few snorkeling tours around but we didn't do it. We had the option to but chose a few different excursions instead. If anyone ever goes Jamaica, Dunn's River Waterfalls is an absolute must. It's hard to put in to words just how good that experience is - you can climb the waterfalls with a tour guide and it's so worthwhile.

This is the follow up on the BBC worker from Newcastle that had the fatal brain injury following one of the vaccines, they say at the court hearing it was acknowledged the vaccine had done the damage. under 2 mins, https://odysee.com/@Adverse:c/video6242097200747251081:e

@Tommylives with is head in the sand like the rest of you, the vaccines are doing you more harm than good, you are destroying your immune system for a mild virus at best

Facts are facts no matter who presents them

The pooch passed away yesterday. It was a bit of a rollercoaster day considering everything this dog and me have been through but I know he's in a better place now.
