Sigh... considering the rants there have been on here about folks with the Bill Gates Nano Chip Technology conspiracy theories etc I would have thought intelligent folks would have spotted the intended humour..
I preferred the British AstraZenca jab to the Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson jabs.. my body, my choice..
Maybe I've seen to many American Big Pharma TV adverts
If you've a problem with that tough titty..

Thanks for the condescending clarification, I'll bet you're a joy on deliveries. Frankly, as long as you managed to choose one, I do not care which vaccine you decided to put in your body. My concern is vaccine misinformation, the most of which isn't delivered with your finely tuned sense of humor.

For some ..Yes..
For others less so.. but that's life.
If you look for misinformation you'll find it on both sides.. (curious about my aledged misinformation) paranoia has that effect..

So.. now my quest for delivery work has been successfully turned into a $hit show...
Any more Attack Dogs.???

No allegations were made. You wrote: "Mind you.. I did say a while back I am not opposed to being vaccinated per se.. just have no desire for the Bill Gates concoction.."

As you asked I'll break it down for you. Referring to one vaccine as "the Bill Gates concoction.." is to connote negatively about that particular vaccine. To conclude the sentence with an ellipsis is imply there is more to the story. Given that there are absurd anti-vaxxer memes revolving around work Gates did years ago it was easy to wonder if you fell prey to that nonsense.

Now you come back with the classic both sides do it argument. Got it.

Fact has nothing to do with argument.. no matter how you spin it.

A comment here,

My opinion is that Boatie and ixnax just had an irony-induced misunderstanding--and that that is the trouble with "internet humor". One loses so much by not being able to see the twinkle in the eyes. A shame, really.

Now I'll get back in my box.

She isn't really but it sounds good...
AstraZeneca’s Covid-19 vaccine shows effectiveness against Delta variant 16 Jun 2021 (Last Updated June 16th, 2021 11:18) The vaccine shows 92% and 86% efficiency against hospitalisation in Delta and Alpha variant cases, respectively. The AstraZeneca vaccine is developed by the University of Oxford and Vaccitech


Pfizer and BioNTech’s Covid-19 vaccine is just 39% effective in Israel where the delta variant is the dominant strain, according to a new report from the country’s Health Ministry. (FRI, JUL 23 20211:23 PM)
The two-dose vaccine still works very well in preventing people from getting seriously sick, demonstrating 88% effectiveness against hospitalization and 91% effectiveness against severe illness, according to the Israeli data

That’s good then as I had the AZ!

Mind you there is a conflict with data Re U.K. Pfizer data

“The efficacy figure, which is based on an unspecified number of people between June 20 and July 17, is down from an earlier estimate of 64% two weeks ago and conflicts with data out of the U.K. that found the shot was 88% effective against symptomatic disease caused by the variant.”

Ps my brother does work as a senior microbiologist in Pfizer and has just brought the latest vaccine plant there on line recently.

Please, everyone, I'm afraid this is my fault, and I apologize, but this is a Crew Available thread, and I hijacked by trying to joke with Boatie. No more vaccination discussion, please. mea culpa.

Anyone need a boat delivered in the regions Boatman works in?

I could say just delete it and I'll start again..
But.. It'd be a shame to waste all these 'Thread Bumps'..

I was going to jump in here with erudite commentary which would, of course, have included 5G, Guns, Anchors, Cats versus Monos and the efficacy of wearing a a helmet cunningly constructed of aluminium kitchen paper (or indeed, the correct pronunciation of Aluminium).

However having just got home to BVI after 3 consecutive back to back deliveries, I think I'll pass...

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Get the best

And AstraZeneca have made their very effective vaccine available to the world at cost whereas I read recently that Pfizer has made $15 billion profit so far from selling its vaccine….

That's why certain people are so vehement in their defence of it..

Paying for research into putting birth control into a vaccine.

Paying for gain of function research.

Advocating for forcible population control.

...

The microchip is a conspiracy theory, you would notice an injection of a grain of rice sized object.

Funding RFID tagging in cattle, pets, elderly, children, etc...

So it isn't entirely a figment of imagination either.

Now this is the origin of some of the vaccine misinformation. The false claim is that the vaccine contains a nanochip not a microchip. But this misunderstanding comes from the adjuvant used to stabilise the mRNA component of the vaccine which is a nano-particle solution. No relationship with 'chips'. Described another way its a lipid/salt emulsion forming very small spheres within which the mRNA can survive a longer time.

I do not have any relatives in either Pfizer or Oxford Uni but I did begin my career working as a biochemist in a vaccine company.

But to return to the less serious discussion about vaccinating delivery skippers, the Astra Zeneca product is priced to match its quality. British junk. Buy Pfizer, it might be expensive but then nano-chips cost a lot of money.
