Vaccination

[matthew55]

Consider this: The first recipient of the vaccine is an 82 year old on dialysis. They are on dialysis because they are not deemed worthy of a transplant. Can anyone see where I'm going with this? 😉x

[denise]

Yes. I know this is not what everyone wants to hear but the kids, front line workers and members of the population that we need to keep us all going. I'd give up mine for someone else. I'm 65 perhaps not as healthy as I could be but I'd give mine to some more deserving.

[matthew55]

Well considering that poor person was being left to die before, I guess they were chosen so if it kills them no one would notice. ☹️

[denise]

I see I didn't think of conspiracy theory ☺

[matthew55]

It's a fact that 82 year olds needing a transplant have zero chance of ever getting one. The other bit is the conspiracy 😉😁x

Hi,, it’s guilt, from the Government and NHS, during the first wave anybody with serious illnesses, the old and infirm were ignored, death rates soared as they had little or no support so now they have done a complete 180, pity the government are still ignoring teachers, are these not front line workers as well, but it’s okay the little yellow box drawn on the floor will protect them.

When does conspiracy become fact? 😁x

[Shaun]

When it’s on Wikipedia 😂😂

Interesting discussion, matthew55 . My wife thinks they have got the priority wrong and should be vaccinating teachers and other front line workers first, the ones that the economy and society depends on, and shielding the vulnerable until later. Whereas, I agree with the scientists on the vaccination panel. Start with those most likely to die or need ICU.

JD guessing you are under 65, if you are on the clinically extremely vulnerable list, you will still be phase 4
Government have reclassified neurological illness as underlying health conditions, unless you have been put on the CEV list

did you get text/letter on last review to tell how to shield , then you are on the CEV list

[jd58]

Yes from Welsh health minister still shielding letter nothing about the vaccine

[GaryM]

Seems odd that they've reclassified MND off the list, considering the small number of people affected. Although, I'm still in phase 4 because of COPD. I had a text and email last week.

Gary , back in March/April they did not want us on it and there was quite a fuss about it, we eventually got accepted, and then when track and trace came live, we were on the list officially, but now all neurological diseases are classed as underlying health condition, unless you are considered CEV by your doctors, who can put you on the list, which they will do,

We only have to worry if in a few months it's a case of no vaccination no bus travel or shopping. 😠😉😁x
