Pfizer vaccine concerns

Our GP practice uses a different TPP system but tells us that they are going to make Airmid available soon if we want to transfer.

I generally do use the website rather than the app. I find it easier to use, particularly for looking at my medical records.

Perhaps, Chris, your experience relates to the app's ratings. 

Airmid has 100k+ downloads and quite poor ratings. MyGP has 1m+ and good ratings.

In Southampton we have the Patient Access system. Great for booking blood tests and GP appointments. Good for seeing Dr visits and consultations etc. Also good for seeing blood results within 3 days. However all my medical records and Oncology letters have been recently been denied access. The GP says it’s the app , and the app says it’s the GP. Haven’t been able to get anywhere with this in months

Hi Chris J, I had exactly the same problem with access denied to documents, it happened nearly a year ago. I must admit I have not chased it up as nothing much is happening to me at the moment. Just letting you know you are not alone.

NHS IT is diabolical. I can go online and book a blood test at various places within a reasonable distance. However if I choose one of the sites North of me, doctors from the hospitals to the South will not be able to access the results. And vice versa. Heads somewhere ought to roll.

It probably varies across the country, Peter, but here in the NW of England the IT seems to work quite well these days. I have annual CT scans for my (former) kidney cancer. I have the scan at my local hospital, and the images can be viewed by my consultant at his hospital. He's also able to look at the results of the kidney function blood tests I have done at my GPs, so the systems do seem pretty well integrated.

Probably depends on whether they're in the same Trust. I'm at the boundary and to the South it's a new Trust formed of merging 2-3 smaller Trusts, so even internally things don't always work.

I had an unexpected call from one hospital a few days ago. They seemed confused that I was still getting follow up from the hospital where the Op was done. However, I was confused as they hadn't even contacted me about the phone call, although they obviously thought they had.

I won't be going to their brewery when lockdown is over!

Yup..

I have had one Pfizer antiviral and discussed this with oncology consultant on Monday, she said “There is no evidence to show adverse affects on cancer patients not undergoing chemo”, it is recommended you have both shots of any antiviral. “Chemotherapy patients have to individually evaluated to see if it fits within their treatment”.

There is a lot of bulls#it about vaccines, the Russians are definitely exploiting any cases issues with non Russian Sputnik V antivirals; and pushing “hard sell” on their vaccine. The Sputnik V vaccine has no believable human staged trials data whatsoever on its development or side effects; and they are pushing hard to get foreign governments to adopt Sputnik V.

One RFEL article earlier suggested the entire Sputnik V development team all got Covid like lung infections FROM the early stage antiviral administered to the team..(Other reports suggest hospital staff are still getting covid after their SV shots)

The polio and smallpox vaccines Russia provided in the 80’s were ineffective and according to some reports so diluted they were just saline.

The EU wants to ban exports to the U.K. of a lifesaving antiviral that countries within the EU are not using, would have been the same if no Brexit.

Being lumbered with P.C is bad enough without all the extra covid stuff, let’s trust the advice we are given as it could very well keep us alive?

Had the Pfizer jab on Feb 20 and a test shows I've now got vaccine-induced antibodies. (For context, I had RT in 2018 and am just about to stop HT). I had very mild side-effects about 48 hours after the jab, but nothing significant. So the vaccine seems to have worked.
