Quick question, please. A friend of mine would have her certificate mailed from the UK as she has been awarded a degree. She has been asked to choose a courier service: either DHL or Royal Mail. The DHL would offer a tracking service, which would cost her £20 while the Royal Mail wouldn't offer a tracking service. Would you advise she use Royal Mail instead of DHL as her certificate would reach her still or she should use the DHL service? |

Mimzyy: Strangely enough if you read about the vaccine, it almost pointless , Do the vaccines prevent transmission of SARS-CoV-2? In addition to the Pfizer vaccine, regulators are poring over data from a similar vaccine made by Moderna of Cambridge, Massachusetts, and a third produced by AstraZeneca of Cambridge, UK, and the University of Oxford, UK. All three have been tested in large clinical trials, and have shown promise in preventing disease symptoms. But 1. none has demonstrated that it prevents infection altogether, or 2. reduces the spread of the virus in a population. 3. This leaves open the chance that those who are vaccinated could remain susceptible to asymptomatic infection — and could transmit that infection to others who remain vulnerable. So the only benefit is shown promise in preventing disease symptoms. |

Pfizer got indemnity from the govt, meaning no patient can sue them for any side effect ![]() Data for the last stage of the clinical trial have not been published ![]() ![]() The effect of the vaccine on fertility have been quarried, no data result to counter it ![]() Lastly, rumour has it that, employers could force employees to take them and people might be refused by airlines to board if they can’t provide evidence that they have taken the vaccine ![]() 1 Like |

omopapa: That was a red flag and a reason for caution by anyone who still remembers what Pfizer did in Northern Nigeria when they used kids as guinea pigs for drug trials. Even Switzerland says they would wait months to both conduct extensive reviews and observe effects from countries around the world - thats another red flag. Since lataro we have been waiting for the peer review publication of the Pfizer vaccine but alas no show yet - Nature or Lancet or Science will gladly publish pronto. With regards to work I really feel for immigrants. My worse case scenario planning is that I'll resign but for taking that vaccine - Never! I'm expected to begin field work from Q1 next year outside the UK but will be discussing with my line manager why I wouldn't be taking the vaccine and exploring if interviews can be conducted remotely. I won't be another statistics for any irresponsible government or drug manufacturer. God helped me survive thus far, I won't use my hands and scatter His work. Imagine the nonsense - £120K as indemnity if permanent damage occurs. Rubbish! Money that can't even buy decent accommodation in the UK is what you will pay out when CEOs are taking £ms as hush money. This govt is vile, greedy and heartless. Using residents as lab rats for what - first position. |

LagosismyHome: Humanity has never had it this bad - irresponsible leadership across board. Imagine how the UK (MHRA) shamelessly rushed approval for first position. They had to use diplomatic channels to force Fauci to recant his earlier bashing of the MHRA. Nonsense. Imagine the nonsense surrounding the AstraZeneca and Oxford vaccine and how they attempted to use optics to lie about the efficiency. They got 62% for general trial (over 20k and across all age groups) and 90% for 3k people under 65 and did an averaging to get 70%. If they weren't called out we would think they were as efficient as the others. I even read that BoJo was requesting that the union jack be put on the bottles, what nonsense. Its quite a pitiable state. Confusion everywhere. Rudderless leadership and a cornucopia of inept leaders is what the UK has been blessed with. 20 years from now we would look back and weep when we observe how bad decisions resulted in mass damage of humans all in the name of science. Unfortunately, the govt is owning more of its citizens - increasing population on benefits/support and rising household debts. These give the govt some leeway in forcing through mandatory policies while using the fear of joblessness or homelessness to coerce compliance. Unfortunately, 20 years from now many of the culprits will be resting in their graves as celebrated heros. Nonsense. 2 Likes |

Chukwuka16: I absolutely support all you’ve said but let me play the devils advocate. If you were a Pharma company, would you be happy to find a cure if you know that you would be sued for millions of pounds, if a patient does during trials? The govt is desperate for a cure (yes they are also greedy), which is why the govt reduced the restrictions; so pharma companies can do as much investigations to find a cure. No matter how much lab work is done, they need to test on humans, and if they will get sued, they won’t want to participate in finding the cure. 1 Like |

LagosismyHome: It's far from pointless....it's the symptoms that kill. If the vaccine is effective at suppressing the symptoms, and downgrading it from deadly killer to a minor annoyance like cold sores, then that works for me. Covid has really wrecked the economy of this country. I'm definitely taking the vaccine as soon as it's possible, and I don't care if it's 666 7 Likes |

nihilistjnr: True if everyone who had covid had such killer symptoms... but there been many people who have had covid, tested positive and had mild to asymptomatic. ..... so what the vaccine is said to be doing is what is been seen for a lot of people . Especially this wave 2, it not been that deadly A properly tested vaccine is great,but this is very rushed to even be considered properly tested |

OBYNOWEST12:I used Vodafone and it was far better than lyca. I was using lyca at first but it was really expensive because you had to buy data, national minutes and international minutes separately. When I discovered Vodafone, I ported my lyca number over to Vodafone. I used to pay either £3.50 for 100 minutes or £7 for 500 minutes to call Nigeria. And my contract came with unlimited data.
