I've been thinking about this since I had my first jab 3 weeks ago.emoticon pillemoticon clock

emoticon yin-yangI see many advantages in continuing to wear a face mask ~LESS pollution, less bugs leading to chest and other infections, lowering the risk of any other nasties getting in my system and finally not having to smell other peoples bad hygiene.

The disadvantages ~ facial expressions can't be seen (although this also has its positives), can't can't smell candles, new perfume etc. Saying that though it it's not compulsory this isn't really a major problem.

@robjmckinney‍ Sending good wishes and I understand your thoughts and reasoning.

A good friend of mine's wife had sepsis some time ago, and passed away after having her foot amputated etc. It was so sad to know she was suffering. 

May your wife stay as strong as possible and hope her confusion etc lifts in due course. 

Thinking of you both.

@Callie234 

Hi Callie, 

Just done a quick check online on all reported vaccine side effects, none on walking beyond swelling of joints in rare cases. Why not do a phone consultation with your GP, perhaps he/she can identify your issues, stay safe!

I am exempt, and hopefully after June 21st, it will not be mandatory, as hope my son and daughter can come out with us without one.

@VICKICOFFEY Many thanks my wife is out of hospital for a couple of weeks and we are popping back and forth to our GP for blood tests. Showing she has had kidney damage from the sepsis which is a worry as she is already at CKD level 3.1. But the massive anti-biotic levels she was on have caused an OD effect where she is breaking out with rashes etc. from the anti-biotics. I must admit I had not idea you could OD on anti-biotics so now with have pessaries and creams for the outside. Then the hospital took half her drugs away so she has had flares in other areas with her other issues to keep me occupied. But we are out of our prison home and on the coast enjoying the sun this week and for the whole summer for the positive side. We decided to bring our 8 year old back with us for a week which is proving exhausting but my wife enjoys it, I say nothing, nothing at all, stay safe!

@robjmckinney It sounds like you and your wife have wonderful attitudes!  A lot of people would just crawl in bed and wait for something to happen!  Glad your both getting out and enjoying life, as much as you possibly can!  KUDOS to you both!  I hope you both stay safe as well!

@Callie234 You can go to VAERS.hhs.gov  or VAERS.gov and see all the side effects that have happened to people, I believe I have read where people have neurological problems and are unable to walk after the "vaccines"  Good luck!  I hope you get better!

Well with all this hot weather I'm having real breathing difficulties with the use of a mask. So straight on to Amazon and got my badge as I am fed up with silly people asking silly questions. I went to a Ford dealer and manager came out harrassing me for proof I stated there is no requirement for proof by the government, he would have none of it. Same goes when I went to Lidl, a Middle Class woman was hysterical, it does seem to be Class related issue who does or don't know the rules. The woman did not challange two women not wearing masks walking through the store. Not being a regular at such stores I am amazed at the Middle Class dominance at the store. But clearly the hot weather will prove challanging for many with mask wearing now lockdown is extended!

@VICKICOFFEY‍... You are welcome to your choice and your decisions, but don't attack me which, I feel, is exactly what you are doing by the tone of your message!

I am entitled to my opinion as you are yours. I also did MY research... What sites you visit to research is your choice also. Perhaps consider others health issues and who one consults first, before you go on about research? 

I certainly did give having the vaccinations 'due diligence' as you put it!

Thank you.
