Thanks Mr H
From my side i had no symptoms and only the test showed I was "positive" that made me mentally sick only .
After couple of weeks I was negative.
Mrs S was sick for 3 or 4 days but nothing worse than a bad cough and a slight fever and also loss of taste.
Its always been a concern of mine that its the only illness that I am aware off that you need a test to establish if you have it ?
How many people actually have it and are not aware and spread it daily?
How many can afford R850 a pop to find out if they have it ?
Its still a mystery to me and maybe one day we will establish the truth behind the virus and vaccine?
Pity I will miss the feedback 😢😷😎

Thalidomide scandal
Thalidomide was introduced in 1956 and was aggressively marketed by the German pharmaceutical company Chemie Grünenthal under the trade name Contergan as a medication for anxiety, trouble sleeping, "tension", and morning sickness It was introduced as a sedative and medication for morning sickness without having been tested on pregnant women.[5] While initially deemed to be safe in pregnancy, concerns regarding birth defects were noted in 1961, and the medication was removed from the market in Europe that year
Polio
The “Cutter Incident” in 1955 involved a flaw in the Salk polio vaccine manufacturing process at Cutter Laboratories that led to production of substantial amounts of what was thought to be inactivated vaccine that contained live poliovirus. The result has been called “…one of the worst pharmaceutical disasters in US history”], with 40,000 cases of polio resulting in 51 cases of permanent paralysis and five deaths among vaccinated individuals, and 113 cases of paralysis and five deaths among contacts of vaccinated individuals
In 1976, concerns in the United States about a possible influenza pandemic involving a virus similar to the deadly 1918 pandemic strain resulted in a large-scale vaccination program for the entire country. Approximately 45 million people were vaccinated in 10 weeks with what became known as the “swine flu vaccine” [16]. The US government abruptly stopped the vaccination program when no swine flu cases were detected outside the military base where the disease originated and when an unexpectedly high number of cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome were reported in vaccinated individuals. The vaccine was estimated to have caused approximately one Guillain-Barré syndrome case per 100,000 persons vaccinated [17], resulting in 53 deaths [18]. As a result of the association between the 1976 swine flu vaccine and Guillain-Barré syndrome, this condition is closely monitored every influenza season as part of the influenza vaccine safety monitoring in the United States.
Guillain-Barre (gee-YAH-buh-RAY) syndrome is a rare disorder in which your body's immune system attacks your nerves. Weakness and tingling in your extremities are usually the first symptoms. These sensations can quickly spread, eventually paralyzing your whole body.
Intussusception is a rare medical condition in which the bowel folds in, or telescopes, on itself. It can resolve on its own, but might also require medical treatment or in some cases surgery. In very rare instances, it can result in death (less than 1% of cases in developed countries) [37]. RotaShield®, the first licensed rotavirus vaccine, was withdrawn from use in 1999 after a greater than expected number of reports of intussusception were detected in post-marketing surveillance [38]. The attributable risk of intussusception was estimated to be one case for every 4,670 to 9,474 infants vaccinated [39] and one intussusception death after RotaShield® was reported in the literature [40]

Thalidomide could make a comeback as a possible wonder drug for leprosy and other related skin diseases. There are claims of cures literally overnight.

I sincerely hope that you are joking. If not then how can you post something like this when thousands are dying all around the world on a daily basis. You maybe asymptomatic yet you by your statement are willing to risk the lives of others because of you don't want a vaccine.

"The stunning reality is that it [South Africa] has neither a secured vaccine supply nor a plan for mass inoculation in the foreseeable future that can withstand scrutiny," says the Progressive Health Forum BBC
