Mrs WW is an intelligent woman, educated to degree level, held a responsible job with hundreds of people under her... etc...
But I just can not understand her thinking on C19.
She was chosen at random for a study and received a home test kit which has just been collected. This lead to a conversation and I was baffled by her. I said I hope it comes back positive as if she's had it we've probably all had it and not noticed. She hopes she hasn't had it. This baffled me as my thinking is that if we've had it and not noticed that's great as it possibly means we're not going to get seriously ill or die of C19. She also had to complete and on line questionnaire and one question was would she have the vaccination if offered... and she hesitated and didn't really want to say yes but she did say yes when I said she was insane if she didn't want the jab.
I just don't understand her. I'll have the vaccination as soon as I'm offered it.
The whole ant vaccination and vaccination conspiracy world baffles me. They may be right, I may be wrong.
The daughter of a foreman at work had covid, possibly back in March, she didn't know it until, just before Christmas, she was having trouble sleeping and tiredness during the day, which she assumed was down to the shift work she does in a hospital. One of the doctors noticed she was looking tired and had slight trouble walking. They found her oxygen levels were low and admitted her immediately. She now has long covid with scarring on her lungs, she was in hospital all over Christmas and although her oxygen level is improved, she is still having trouble breathing.
As for the antivax brigade, my sister in law does like to post links to newspaper stories on Facebook, yesterday's was that 143 people have died in the UK since having the vaccine. I don't know if there is any truth to it, but the article does go on to say that all of them were old or had other illnesses and would have probably died anyway, it's thought there is no connection to the vaccine.
My sister in law will probably be thinking there is a connection.
I would have thought my sister in law would be pro vaccine as her youngest daughter has to shield due to a condition she was born with and required an operation at just a few months old.
Today's item she posted on Facebook was about councils knocking on peoples doors to ask if someone has declined to have the vaccine and if so, what was the reason?
My father in laws response was, What can they do to do if your not a council tenant?
If it is true it is only a survey, but I think he has it in his head councils will be evicting tenants or something.
My father in law has never been the sharpest tool in the shed, but even this is a howler by his normal standard.
