Thanks, that’s good info

Ah that’s right! I had a brain fart and for some reason was thinking of traditional vaccines. Are the major vaccines the RNA ones where it’s just the protein? I’ve forgotten.

I wonder if the types affect the chance of a reaction for some people or in general

The sad part is that reactions to vaccines are vanishingly rare but real. I’m wondering if this lady’s immune system had an unusually strong response and left her with some kind of autoimmune disease as a result. Fibromyalgia can be triggered after being sick with a virus and has been confirmed to be autoimmune.

But it is much better for vaccines to be mandatory to keep herd immunity for those that can’t have them and keep smallpox or polio from coming back. On the balance you just can’t afford to have it be optional.

Ironically the symptoms she’s describing sound like long covid which also gets ignored and denied support. It makes me wonder if her body did massively overreact to even the attenuated virus

Edit: Oops, for transparency I must have missed the line where it was confirmed the first woman actually had pericarditis. That’s what I get for trying to read while sleep deprived

This is seriously concerning. What would have happened if it hadn’t made the news? Also squinting at the conscientious objection

Go all in at all times. We’re not here to fuck spiders.

These are the people trying to legislate healthcare…

Stupid. The link to breast cancer is spurious but the risks involved in covert self induced terminations (which will increase in the event of criminalisation) are well known.

Here we fucking go :(

Fuck Colesworth. Having a disability and requiring both generic brands and delivery makes it hard to have other options… but don’t think I haven’t noticed the gouging, or how toothless the recent trust busting measures were.

There were even those temporary structures/tents outside of hospitals in Australia. Saw them locally, none of the behaviours changed though.

I really really hope that this virus doesn't also jump to humans and force us to deal with strollouts and noncompliant people again...

That's how corporations nickel and dime you. I resist subscription services almost completely (I pay for cloud backup storage for my phone in case of breakage/theft and that's it) because as well as being a constant financial drain they inevitably degrade and enshittify, often even removing things you paid for

I don't know what to say other than that I agree with you. Dominant retailers (especially supermarkets) were and are profiteering during a crisis and these 'prices drops' of cents are merely a sop.

At this point a fair few people can't even afford some of those goods

Which is probably made in China
