Not sure where to put this i don't think there is a health forum Hot on the heels of the revelation of Hancock needing to frighten us into yet another jab comes the revelation people like me are to be urged to get another booster www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-64876657As i told the person trying to persuade me to have the last one ‘The first jab came too late to save my lungs, the second caused blood thickening as measured by my INR and the third nearly bloody killed me, i had to be attended by paramedics. You can take your offer and throw it in the sea, and if you contact me again i will be most impolite. Goodbye. Click’ |

The hospital treatment of Covid patients:
"Antimicrobial resistance is a global health problem. The widespread and improper antibiotics use is the leading cause of antimicrobial resistance. Bacterial co-infection in COVID-19 patients is the basis for the use of antibiotics in the management of COVID-19. COVID-19 pandemic has seriously impacted antibiotic stewardship and increased the global usage of antibiotics, worsening the antimicrobial resistance problem".
In the hospital where I get my treatment if a patient gets a slight temperature, or their White blood cell count is slightly elevated, or they "get the chills" ... then they get zapped with broad spectrum antibiotics. The latest CQC report highlighted "Poor infection control". Nurses and doctors are not encouraged by the Administrators to be over concerned about making sure they don't spread bugs around the ward because "The antibiotics will deal with them".
In the hospital ward my late wife was in in the 1990s every patient was given a broad spectrum antibiotic three times a day ... "To protect them from the hospital bugs". It was noticeable that there were two types of medics in the hospital ... those who followed a strict aseptic regime in order to keep down cross infection and those whose attitude was "If the patients get infected the antibiotics will deal with it." The hospital Admin very much favoured the latter viewpoint as being "More efficient" ... a less costly way to run the hospital. Medical staff who supported their viewpoint were more likely to be promoted. Consultants who had reservations about the widespread use of antibiotics were less likely to be employed by the Health Authority.
In 2019 the Chief Nurse of England sent out 8,900 letters to GPs (a quarter of the GPs in England) warning them about their overuse of antibiotics.
