That's not what I said, you're being very sassy today 👀
I’m just happy to see the light at the end of the tunnel, at least as far as the UK is concerned. More and more restrictions are being lifted in Britain, so I have good reasons to celebrate - about time.
 
So, are we just going to close all covid threads?
Once COVID is no longer relevant I suspect the threads will die down naturally. If they become a dumping ground for spam, like the election threads before, then they might get shuttered. It depends - I have a lot of fancy gear, but a functioning crystal ball isn’t part of my tool set.
 
We have February the 21st 2022.
In December 2021,Novavax (allegedly available since today, February 21st, 2022..) and Valneva applied for EMA approval...
Why is this taking so long......?

Biontech/Pfizer:
EMA Application - November 30st 2020
EMA Approval - December 21st 2020

3 Weeks.....

That's interesting, but this was directed at people saying "why are these threads still open" at every covid thread.

I was under the impression that you’re asking me, considering I was the only person in the thread capable of doing so at the time. My mistake, I suppose.
Yeah, just in time to get killed by a falling tree, or drown in a flood. I swear it's never-ending.
Welcome to Silent Hill - we have rain, fog and gate force winds.

So it finally got me. My son brought it back from school so there was no way to avoid it. He kicked it in 3 days, but didn't get out of bed for 2 of those due to fever and body aches.

I'm on the vulnerable list so let's see if the 3 shots I had do their job. So far, I have a fever and cough with a weird rustling noise in my lungs when I breathe. Mostly sucks because I'm a carer so it's gonna affect other people too.

Get well soon.
 
Yes because I'm not an absolute baffoon that believes what their stupid politicians and whatever their uncle on WhatsApp says.

They've all been tested and have been made fast because medicine is now better and this is a worldwide pandemic. If only it had come sooner, I might not have lost my uncle.

I got both doses of Pfizer and will get the booster next month. Absolutely no side-effects besides a sore-arm for 2 days.

God bless mate, get well soon.

For those waiting for peer-reviewed study.. the data is in for Ivermectin and might just prove to be one of the biggest scandals in history.

https://www.cureus.com/articles/821...3128-subjects-using-propensity-score-matching

Read the whole thing if you have time (it's very readable compared to most studes), but the gist of it is..

Of the 223,128 citizens of Itajaí considered for the study, a total of 159,561 subjects were included in the analysis: 113,845 (71.3%) regular ivermectin users and 45,716 (23.3%) non-users. Of these, 4,311 ivermectin users were infected, among which 4,197 were from the city of Itajaí (3.7% infection rate), and 3,034 non-users (from Itajaí) were infected (6.6% infection rate), with a 44% reduction in COVID-19 infection rate (risk ratio [RR], 0.56; 95% confidence interval (95% CI), 0.53-0.58; p < 0.0001). Using PSM, two cohorts of 3,034 subjects suffering from COVID-19 infection were compared. The regular use of ivermectin led to a 68% reduction in COVID-19 mortality (25 [0.8%] versus 79 [2.6%] among ivermectin non-users; RR, 0.32; 95% CI, 0.20-0.49; p < 0.0001). When adjusted for residual variables, reduction in mortality rate was 70% (RR, 0.30; 95% CI, 0.19-0.46; p < 0.0001). There was a 56% reduction in hospitalization rate (44 versus 99 hospitalizations among ivermectin users and non-users, respectively; RR, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.31-0.63; p < 0.0001). After adjustment for residual variables, reduction in hospitalization rate was 67% (RR, 0.33; 95% CI, 023-0.66; p < 0.0001).

Remember, this is basically the same conclusion that was being made by some from the start yet the mainstream was strangely dismissive of (to the point of calling it horse de-wormer).

With a 70% reduction in mortality rate, imagine how many people's lives could've been saved if they had been given this dirt cheap drug as a preventative measure along with vaccinations once available.
 
Tell that to the approximately 1,500 Americans, mostly unvaccinated, dying each day from COVID-19.
over here they remove all restrictions and even the be vaccinated to go places so i guess they no longer care about that
