    Few weeks ago found my vaccination booklet from time at the Vindi.

    At some time I had one for Heaptitis here in Oz and must have had the booklet with me as it is in there.
    From what I have been told by my niece in UK they will begin jabbing within about ten days.

    Germany is hiring halls capable of holding 1000 at a time and say they will inject at the rate of one every two seconds!!!!!!!

    Pharmacy here we use told me they have had instructions on giving the injection so may not be far away.
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    After Environment Secretary George Eustice said yesterday that a scotch egg "would probably count" as substantial meal, it seems to have more debate today than the New Vaccines.

    About 2000 The seven most deadly infectious diseases according to the W.H.O. Statistics and printed via Readers Digest were ....
    Pneumonia
    HIV/AIDS
    Diarrhoea diseases
    T.B.
    Malaria
    Measles
    Whooping cough.

    I wonder in 20 years how these priorities have changed.


    Other common infectious diseases were....
    Chickenpox
    Cholera
    Common cold
    Diphtheria
    Influenza
    Typhoid.

    John, not so long ago HIV/Aids was the number one.
    But now I have been told by one GP that Hepatitis is as bad as some other.
    Even the Flu mutates to bring on new versions from time to time.

    Saw the population of the Sub continent in the Ganges today, no wonder so many die there, how many diseases do they have and how many are still unknown there?
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    Anywhere on the sub continent the water borne diseases will be prevalent , a typhoid injection would be advisable if trading there. I’m surprised more off the ships didn’t come down with them. As the water came straight off most quayside hydrants , although we did at times put chemicals in the tanks , it was sometimes very haphazard.
    Better to stick with your gin and tonic. Cheers JS

    John I totally agree with your sentiments regarding vaccinations, with the exception of smallpox. The World Health Assembly declared the world was free of the disease in 1980 it had taken about 200 years to eradicate . Many people at the time and even now consider this to be the greatest achievement in international public health. The eradication was achieved because of very tenacious health officials and goodwill from governments around the world . The world needs a similar attitude to the present threat from this virus. All I see at the moment is the exact opposite with all the bickering and back stabbing from politicians, money grabbing by some pharmaceutical companies and individuals and as all ready mentioned people refusing the jab for whatever reason. Unless our present day (So called) Leaders get their act together and start acting in the public good it will be another 200 years before this is eradicated.
