No, I recall hearing that being vaccinated does not prevent transmission. For example (from 28 April): Covid: One dose of vaccine halves transmission - study - BBC News University of Warwick epidemiologist Mike Tildesley says "the evidence is suggesting they (vaccinations) are providing at...

It's OK, @mango - I've found it with a site search - Hep A & B.

What were you vaccinated against? I had a tetanus jab around the time I got ME, but I can't say for sure that it was involved. Of course it may have been infection from the dog bite that prompted the jab that caused ME. And I had symptoms before, but I was trying a lot of GP-prescribed drugs...

From the vast amount of research I've read over the years (unable to read much now) it's pretty standard to say that the scientists expect significant results in 5 years, presumably because it ensures ongoing funding. Often the science is rubbish. This doesn't sound particularly rubbishy though.

I'm not keen on the term 'functional medicine'. What on earth does it mean? Surely all medicine should be functional?

Just posting this quickly before I lose my thread: the results of my step-exercise test in 1995 for the Open University - thought it might contain something of interest. (I developed ME that year.)

I hope it's OK to keep posting the small errors in the document here? On page 22 it says "The situation in relation to a Long covid syndromes..." The next sentence has a spelling error: "asessment". On p. 24 there appears to be a full stop instead of a comma: "At this stage." On p. 25...

There is a small omission in the heading on page 13: "What are the possible causes (OF) Post-Viral Fatigue and Post-Covid Fatigue?" Also on p. 14 'highjacks' is used instead of 'hijacks'.

Could someone advise whoever needs to be advised that there is a small error in the document? About 3/4 of the way down it says: "This happens to be Ronald David’s number one piece of health advice..." I.e. 'David' instead of 'Davis'. Thanks. I have pretty-well read it all now. Impressive...

Covid vaccine: Sore arm and headache most common side effects By Rachel Schraer Health reporter The most common side effects of the Covid-19 vaccines are pain or tenderness at the injection site - in other words, a sore arm - a UK study has suggested. Roughly one in four people had wider...

Whatever it is, it hasn't filtered down to my local hospital. They supposedly tested me for hormonal imbalances. I went in specially for that, and experienced extreme fluid build-up due to having to sit up still for so long, but they weren't interested in that. They also forgot to tell me...

I definitely need more salt, as I have suffered from severe hyponatraemia at least twice - ending up in hospital a couple of times, and needing a saline drip on at least one occasion. Since I've been having about one and a half to two teaspoons of sodium bicarbonate in water per day, I think I...

Inside a long Covid clinic: 'I want to play with my kids again' By Jim Reed Health Reporter Zaz Hassan survived Covid but, one year on, is still living with the after-effects of the virus. "You live with the hope that you will get better," Zaz tells me, as he takes a break from his physio...
