PS,if nobody ever stood up for anything, thousands of NHS staff would have needlessly been out of work from yesterday! Think about that, too!

How many of us have had it without knowing it?
How many of us have the naturally higher immune system that just kicks it out?
How many have had it once and that has given them protection longer than others?
I've seen a lot of information (that I won't be sharing on here) that says our immune systems are weakening each time we take this jab or booster. All of this will take time to evolve. The take up of the next jab will give you an idea how many are now making their own minds up rather than believing every ad campaign.
So what you're saying is you boost your T cells by catching covid and hoping you don't notice you have it? How else do you explain your previous statement:

"and also your T cells being increased to help your own immunity when you have contact with people who have it, so I am informed quite reliably."

Yet again, you aren't answering any questions, just throwing out more questions. It's like trolling playbook 101, when asked about a statement you made get them to answer something instead, deflect away from the statement and never acknowledge questions about it in the hope they give up. As for the bit in bold, I'm just gonna be blunt, you're being lied to. You can't show the evidence because it doesn't exist, you are just being convinced it does. Even if you have seen something, which I now highly doubt and think this is all being fed to you in person because if online you'd have other avenues of proof, you won't show it because deep down you are scared it will be picked apart and your beliefs will look foolish. Just please don't give these people any money.

I'll answer this when you answer questions posed to you first. There are lots in here, all in direct response to your own statements, why can't you back up any statement you make? Because you yourself don't ask for this proof when the statements are made to you, you blindly accept for some reason. Are you perchance getting all this 'info' in a pub?

Hey Gilbert, can you remind me when exactly this month it is that our immune systems are going to jack in? The article you shared said "within weeks" so I presume it'll be mid-April sometime? Just wondering if I need to rearrange my plans around it.

Was only a few days back, so say 3 weeks? Don't arrange anything after mid April, just to be sure.

Of course if you look at the data used for that 'report' you notice a very interesting feature left out, the page after the one used to prove we're all going to die clearly shows that it's the unvaccinated taking up the hospital beds. Twice as likely to need hospital care, three times more likely to die.

Found out today Nan (98) has Covid again after her care home went into complete lockdown a few days ago. She had it once earlier in the pandemic and was lucky enough to have been asymptomatic and got through it, hopefully the same will be true this time.
I hope she had it the same as last time. Such a worry though isn’t it

Yeah, she also has dementia so doesn't really understand why nobody can visit or why she can't come home (she hasn't been able to have any visitors for the past two weeks either due to family members having covid) which makes it even more difficult. This whole situation has been just about the worst scenario imaginable for those in care homes, being separated from their families.

(which is an argument for acting quickly and getting the virus under control and *not* an argument against continuing precautions, as no doubt some would make)

Had my second ping in 3 weeks (and in the preceding 2 years) this morning. Did LFTs on Saturday and Sunday as I was seeing elderly people so fingers crossed I've avoided it.

I got pinged after visiting Crufts (first time we'd been 'out out' in a very long time) but we were both fine. Another member of the group I met last week now has it, but again I'm still testing negative. I only have 2 boxes of tests remaining though so at some point soon will have to reserve testing for when I have symptoms.

Yes, I'm at that point too so I'm going by yesterday's negative unless I suddenly feel ill.
