Hello everyone,

How are you today? 

The pharmaceutical groups Pfizer (USA) and BioNTech (Germany) announced on Monday 9 November that their vaccine candidate is 90% "effective" in preventing Covid-19 infections, according to preliminary results of their large-scale phase 3 trial, which is still ongoing. 

What do you think about this? Do you plan to be vaccinated as soon as the COVID-19 vaccine is on the market? 

Feel free to discuss and share in the comments below!

Take care,

Courtney

Some people seem to get a kick out of banning free speech, or people replying to their unfounded allegations. But the world is full of people with different views. Thankfully I am well able to defend myself. Often read posts I do not agree with, but I scroll on, never try and ban someone because I do not agree with them. However when someone mentions me I feel I have the right to reply. If my opinions cause you mental health problems or distress, please scroll on. So many social injustices in our community, the country, we should be in distress over, hunger, homelessness,,,suicide, poor mental health service. Let us agree to disagreeand leave it at that

People are frightened.  All the media have pushed this jab and done there best to make it ant - social not to take it . Well I won't take [This content has been moderated by an administrator] until it's proven safe .  As we get older it should be our choice what medication we put in our bodies and now they're practically trying to pay recipient's I feel I trust them less.  The WHO is an arm of NATO.  People tend to think it's a league of lovey dovey doctors when in fact it's run by [This content has been moderated by an administrator]. I'd guess that means funding.  So in reality you have the owner of the vaccine pushing the cure for a [This content has been moderated by an administrator].

I won't have it and if you're not seeing conspiracy theory's here maybe you should ask yourself why ? It may be real but living in a so called hot spot of the disease I've seen no Covid deaths in family or friends.  I've seen about 4 couples get it all in there late 60s and recover . Am I just lucky or is this the norm ? I believe old folks are dying with Covid not from it just like old ill people die from flu or heart attacks but instead of adding kneumonia sic,  cardiac arrest  [This content has been moderated by an administrator].  Meanwhile we've no doctors surgeries like before.  Dentists are knocking NHS non paying clients of there register .

My mother's 90 and was doing well with wet eye + dry eye yet now has 10% vision since her eye work was cancelled due to the virus.  

It'll run it's course like all viruses I think as do lots of censored doctors and the vaccinations already has a country divided and arguing . Job done from these new authoritarian government's . They're telling us they want to save elderly lifes while shutting hospitals,  making doctors appointments impossible,  even cutting the police which  make us elderley people feel safe when out . 

No Tory government has ever cared for old people's health.  The rich can afford private so get ready for your medical apartheid where your life span may well depend on how fat your bank account is !

Just got information today that the [This content has been moderated by an administrator], will have to do some more digging to find out if this is true. It is illegal for public service companies to accept money from companies. Of course, doctors and consultations get "perks " from big pharma

Where an earth did you get the idea Phizer is a public service company.  ? 

It's a pharmaceutical company like all of them ran strictly to make shareholders rich.  They may talk about free vaccinations and everything being for the worlds good and survival but if you believe they only work for the good of the populations have a look at the law suits they're currently fighting.  Like all big pharmaceuticals they're killing people as well as working hopefully with good intent ! Unfortunately when these pharmaceuticals try new products not every individual I'd suited to them and people suffer from trials and die or  are left damaged . At the end of the day everything is down to profit and getting countries to invest in buying there products.  This is the first ever drug trial tried on a worlds population without passing a standard 4 year trial period so when they say they know the long term effects in reality they know nearly a years effects.  I'm no scientist and maybe they're spot on ! Who knows ? I know I feel my life's not worth much at the moment and if I die from Covid so be it . Its not going to be death from trialling a vaccine which makes me feel better than all the people getting it so they hope they can have a foreign holiday or get drunk in there late night clubs . Here's a list of Phizers shareholders just to put you out of the mindset it's a public service company and if you believe [This content has been moderated by an administrator].

And guess what it won't open . It's easily available on any search machine.  Preferably not Google as they're monitored but probably will still give shareholders names .

People are waking up, [This content has been moderated by an administrator], Some have a history of been fined billions of dollars for bribery and covering adverse side effects that lead to injury and deaths of people.

In reply to white cross 1955 

I was affected by the Swine flu jab which made me very sick, my illness required hospital treatment on a nebuliser, tami flu viral meds, anti biotics & steroids for my asthma & had severe breathing issues that was early January 2017..So know your comment above is the truth can I also point out it was also added to the winter 2016 combined flu vaccines without any warnings given to the patients such as myself who suffered the serious side effects since having it..my lungs have long term damage now and I am lucky to be here to tell my story..

@RachaelT45 Thank you, Rachael. A few here on this site accuse me of spreading false information. Glad you are still alive after the swine flu experimental vaccine. Sorry to read the effects it has on your health. I hope you have considered legal advice on your options to secure proper compensation for the suffering and damage to your health?
