Brexit, for once some facts.

I had mine over two weeks ago and apart from a slightly sore arm, hardly worth mentioning but more than the AstraZeneca injections, which were nothing.
There again, the minor arm discomfort from the AstraZeneca didn't start for many weeks. And that only meant a bit of an itchy feeling and a very slight weeping when scratched. (Also why I got my Pfizer in the other arm.)
A non peer reviewed paper has just been published in SA here is a video about it by Dr. John Campbell. I have watched quite a few of his videos and find them fairly good. The data in the paper seems to be showing that prior infection from Covid does not give any protection against the new variant in fact quite the opposite. If you have had Covid before then you are more likely to catch the new variant.
The paper does not say if the vaccines are providing any protection from the new variant or does it say how ill people are getting who catch the new variant. Campbell thinks that the new one is likely to make people less ill than the Delta variant but he has not seen any stats to prove that so far.

Suddenly, the world is awash with virologists - even the night clerk at my local petrol station is a virologist, but a real one visiting from India, here to top off his Bsc with an MBA, and far more informative to talk to than most on the internet - he's of course, a big fan of one of India's vaccine versions, home grown from ecoli. His granular utterings regarding it's development, are pretty spectacular to hear.

You're more likely to have a reaction of some sort, if you're young and/or have an immune system which functions well - oldies don't suffer as much (I believe, spuriously or not), and don't gain as much protection.

How Science Will Solve the Omicron Variant’s Mysteries
So far, panic about the mysterious new Covid variant has outpaced actual information. Here’s what scientists around the world are trying to uncover.
Conclusion.
Get vaccinated. Have a booster. Wear a mask. Get on with life.
It's great that N95 masks are much easier to buy now, especially the fake ones.Great article.How Science Will Solve the Omicron Variant’s Mysteries

Well honestly nobody in our extended family, varying from 22 to 67, (14 of us) had slightest reaction. And, at various times over past year we, ve all had covid.. almost symptom less in all but one of us.
John Campbell made reference to this work today in this video. He has talked about people giving the vaccines to use the aspirate technique in the past, this seems like a no brainer to me I wonder why lots of countries no longer do this?

In this video it shows how to carry out the aspirate procedure I wonder if the reason it was abandoned many years ago is because it introduces an extra step and so might lead to mistakes being made.

I spoke to my sister about the aspirate technique she is a retired nursing sister, she did her nurse training in the 1970s at that time all staff were trained using the aspirate system but she said this stopped a long time ago.
Over her career she must have given hundreds or thousands of injections but she can only remember one where blood was drawn back into the tube so it is quite a rare event but when millions of injections are being administered it is going to happen fairly often.
You're also more likely to have a reaction to the vaccines, if you would have had a bad time with Covid. I vote that your entire extended family be cloned immediately, to replace people lost elsewhere, and those soon to be de-citizenised for refusing to be vaccinated.
London's position vis a vis Covid is the evidence. Circa 10 millions is a pretty good sample.

Well you could try this.
It was a chap called Onda Sonara.
I wonder if he carried it in, here inject this.
