Welcome to the club, I'm 81. Been through a bit of chemo in '19, CT Scan a week ago only found a lymph node that was 4.1cm a year ago is now 4.2cm, studying being done but I'm doing okay..

Thanks, Berton. Looks like that thing is a slow mover; congratulations.

Thanks.

He got his wish though, he had said he didn't want to live till he was 100. I do feel for the Queen though as they had so much love between them and she has now lost her rock.

The risk factor is around 1 in 1000000 (one in a million), which is around the same chance dying in a car crash when when driving 200 Miles - those sort of odds are not really something I am going to worry about........ .

I told the same words to my wife "one in one million" and that one can be me . And she told "hmmm... Take the chance." And so I am now on day three after the first AstraZeneca Shot.

News today. India:
"Since January 16 this year, 95.43 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines have been administered,"
"A presentation made to the National AEFI (Ädverse Event Following Immunisation) Committee on March 31 recorded that there had been 180 deaths till that time and three-fourths of the deaths happened within three days of the shot."


Not only AstraZeneca but all vector based vaccinations seem to carry this risk. Some adverse events have also been reported after Johnson and Johnson shots which is also a vector based Vax. "Four cases, one fatal, of rare clots with low blood platelets were reported among those vaccinated with the Johnson & Johnson shot, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) said in a statement."

In the light of these, the mRNA vaccinations like Moderna, Pfizer seem to be a safe choice if available. ( My son-in-law, daughter and two grandsons in USA took the Pfizer shots)

RIP Prince Philip, my condolences to the UK
