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

I will have the booster as soon as I am called for it.y sister's partner has. Covid at the meeting despite being double jabbed. He has diabetes having jabs 3 times a day, heart problems, damaged pancreas and liver. Hopefully he is going to be okay my friend is currently in hospital with covid, also double jabbed. I think the jabs have a shelf life and looses it's benefits after awhile. We have a flu jab every year so why not a covid jab.

Once again my sharing of information from a news agency has been deleted ,

A lot of money can be made from healthy people who believe they are sick. Pharmaceutical companies sponsor diseases and promote them to prescribers and consumers. Ray Moynihan, Iona Heath, and David Henry give examples of “disease mongering” and suggest how to prevent the growth of this practice

There's a lot of money to be made from telling healthy people they're sick. Some forms of medicalising ordinary life may now be better described as disease mongering: widening the boundaries of treatable illness in order to expand markets for those who sell and deliver treatments.1,2 Pharmaceutical companies are actively involved in sponsoring the definition of diseases and promoting them to both prescribers and consumers. The social construction of illness is being replaced by the corporate construction of disease.

Whereas some aspects of medicalisation are the subject of ongoing debate, the mechanics of corporate-backed disease mongering, and its impact on public consciousness, medical practice, human health, and national budgets have attracted limited critical scrutiny.

Within many disease categories, informal alliances have emerged, comprising drug company staff, doctors, and consumer groups. Ostensibly engaged in raising public awareness about underdiagnosed and undertreated problems, these alliances tend to promote a view of their particular condition as widespread, serious, and treatable. Because these “disease awareness” campaigns are commonly linked to companies' marketing strategies, they operate to expand markets for new pharmaceutical products. Alternative approaches—emphasising the self-limiting or relatively benign natural history of a problem, or the importance of personal coping strategies—are played down or ignored. As the late medical writer, Lynn Payer observed, disease mongers “gnaw away at our self-confidence.”

I agree whitecross ( sorry seems weird replying with that name) We're getting medical fascism where everything apart from Covid is being pushed to the back of the queue. It's a virus not a cancer .I know 2 people have had it both disabled and both 73 and both came through with flu like symptoms. I know one had the vaccination to be fair . It worried me as apparently and I won't post a link as it'll be censored no doubt that 6 out of 10 fatalities are disabled people.

All this fuss over [This content has been moderated by an administrator] while cancer treatments, heart conditions, blindness are being pushed to the back of the queue! To practically make people social outcasts who wont experiment on a drug still in trial stages while people with terminal diseases, illnesses are being pushed to the back of the queue is disgusting and obviously profit motivated!

People aren't dropping dead on the streets and an average death age not far off the average mortality rate shows this virus is being used for profit IMO.

@HarryChubb I use Whitecross for 2 reasons, white the opposite of blackness Which I fought against over many years dealing with bouts of depression, P.T.S.D.. Cross as a symbol of Christianity I am always suspicious of a prepackaged "truth " .If someone hands you a prepackaged truth, go ahead and unwrap the package and look inside It does not matter if you get it from a doctor, politician, newspaper, a group Go ahead and check it out, Always seek your own answers. Hoping you are keeping well Harry?
