Bob The Badger

Yep, it really bugs me when people say how right they were.
Like that Bob the Badger. He kept saying the Government screwed everything up in the lead up to the vaccine being ready, but accepted they did a good job rolling out the immunisation programme.
But you never hear him gloat.
I admire that.

We are already dying in our millions because of climate change.
Just not here.
Yet.

Well surprise surprise, the report on how the country dealt with the pandemic is published. The first thing the government do is throw the scientists under the bus as they attempt to distance themselves of any blame.
And where's the leader of these cowards, the person that went missing at the start of this national disaster? Hiding in Spain, so no change there

Daughter gets headache and sore throat Sunday.  Do home test, negative.  "Are you sure Dad?" - "Yes I reply, all your symptoms are also the same as for a cold and there's a lot going around so don't worry and assume it's COVID".  As of this morning, still suffering, so do another test - positive. Damn.  Turns out 4 others in her class have also tested positive today. Joy of joys.

This.  I've had flu twice in my lifetime, the last time probably 20 years ago now.  Both times I was laid up for nearly 2 weeks, with the first week being bed-ridden, horrible fevers, vomiting if I tried to eat, absolutely zero energy.  I get really peed off if someone alludes to having the flu but "I'll probably be in tomorrow...".  You've got a cold to dozy berk.  I now have the flu jab annually as, being over 50 and knowing how ill I've been with flu, I know how serious it can be.  And for this reason too, I had zero hesitation getting the jabs for COVID 19.

You're on a Derby forum in 2021 claiming there are no bad accountants. 

Wow, it looks like you need to avoid some of your friends, but I'm wondering how many of the people you hired told you accounting doesn't work?
Or that it's your choice whether you keep accounts for your business or not?
Or that if you keep accounts you may grown another arm of your business in 20 years?
You see, there's quite a bit of difference between a crap accountant and one who suggests you charge in groats, barter using goats for your petrol and submit your accounts painted on the inside of a cave. 
?‍♂️

It's offered to every guy who has medical insurance in the US as a preventative measure.
So I'm not sure I felt a need per se, but like with the flu jab I had it.

They found some polyps that they removed, but the one 3 years later was clear, as was the one I had about this time last year just prior to leaving Florida

My father-in-law died of colon cancer just after we got back to England and my wife is convinced he'd not have if he'd been screened. Of course, nobody knows that.

I also had the two shingles vaccinations a couple of years ago that I think last 10 years, I had it because it was kinda there and medically advised.

But not long after I had it my sister caught it and she was really ill for a while.

I had the flu jab pretty much every year I lived in Florida, you could get them at your local pharmacy and some Super Markets would even you you a $5 voucher to get it done. I never go the flu, but weirdly, and this must be just a a coincidence, I have never had a cold since I started having the flu jab.  Previous to then, I'd get them every year but I've not had one now in about 12 years.

I've had proper flu just twice with the last time being Christmas 98 into 99. Easily the sickest I have ever been. I was pretty fit then but I could barely stand up for the best part of two weeks, so having the jab was an easy decision.
I think some people confuse the flu with a cold but it was nothing like even the heaviest cold I'd had, it was utterly debilitating and I can easily imagine it killing elderly people.
Something I always wondered about all the screening they do in the US. How effective is it? Is there data to suggest screening radically reduces colon cancer deaths. You would imagine it does, but I don't know that for a fact.
I pretty much always take medical advice in the same way as I take dental advice, accounting advice and legal advice. If I go to an expert to help me then I'll listen to what he or she says.

I'd not be so quick to agree because your point is solid.
There are people who are anti-vaxxers who have drink bleach (at least a couple died), others who were trying to score hydroxychloroquine and  a poo load who have been taking ivermectin.

Trump didn't want the vaccine, but was fine to take an entire regiment of experimental treatments when he got sick.

People don't take nuclear meds when they are fit, they take them when they're frightened and/or very sick.

The people taking drugs like ivermectin are doing so for the exact same reasons.
Having said all that, thousands of people reject chemo for fear of the side effects or because they have just lost hope. Both my in-laws have died from cancer within the last 4 years and both refused chemo.
 

All these studies say that ivermectin should not be used for treatment of covid-19 outside of a clinical trial. 
The BBC article is about people who are using ivermectin bought through unorthodox means, such as vetinarians, to do exactly what the studies tell us not to do. 
I don't think anyone is saying that trials of this drug aren't welcomed, they're pointing out the lunacy of self medicating using a horse dewormer against medical advice. 
There is a correlation between people who do not trust the vaccine and people willing to trust untrialled untested medicines. 

Don't be so hard on yourself.
