Not on the biggest sites. It just stops PMs. Which if they don't exist makes no difference. Anyone can easily "block" posts. Just by averting their eyes. I do it for many posts on subjects which don't interest me.

The answer is already in our hands. We are all adults. We don't need Mummy to do it for us.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

mmmm

I always read the conspiracy theory as people thinking the vaccine had nanobots and microchips IN it. Which is of course Matthau level nonsense

As for implants specifically for the vaccine - can’t see it myself. Why would they be needed when you have a phone or watch.

Implants that contain all your required contactless information? Payment, building access, biometrics, travelcards, medical, whatever - Sure. People have been talking about that for decades.

However again, you’re already carrying this in your pocket right now anyway. The only jump is having it in your body rather than on it.

Similar to the cyborg argument. We’re already there - the next step
Is implants. And it will happen, just not ‘only’ for vaccines. Wouldn’t make any sense and people wouldn’t buy into it.

Also good luck getting that through parliament. China? Probably already doing it.

Three doses of AZ jab effective against Omicron - study

"Three doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine is effective against the Omicron variant of COVID-19, the pharmaceutical company has said.

Citing data from an Oxford University lab study, which has yet to be published in a peer-reviewed journal, AstraZeneca said its jab matches the performance of those from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna against Omicron.

According to the study, neutralising levels against Omicron after three doses of the AZ jab were broadly similar to those against Delta.

"As we better understand Omicron, we believe we will find that T-cell response provides durable protection against severe disease and hospitalisations," Mene Pangalos, the head of AstraZeneca's biopharmaceuticals R&D said.

Although the early data is positive, AZ is working with Oxford University to produce a vaccine tailored for Omicron."

Decent news, as the AZ jab was looking like the runt of the litter for a bit .

You are conflating two quite separate issues, whether by accident or design is for you to advise.

The use of an implanted micro-chip as a vaccine passport is a recent suggestion, which seems extremely unlikely to ever be accepted.

This has nothing at all to do with the wild conspiracy theory being circulated a while back that the vaccines themselves contained a micro-chip, inserted at the behest of Bill Gates, and intended to control the size of the world population by killing people at some pre-ordained time.

Look at the size of the implant and compare it with the amount, and liquidity, of vaccine being given and the nonsense becomes obvious.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

Certainly, though several studies show that mixing different vaccines is a good move, and so if anything it's just reassurance that those who had two AZ jabs first don't look to be in a particularly bad position.
