Basically i'm at the point in my isolation and thinking that I'll take whatever just so this bullshit can end.
Been reading up a lot about these jabs, esp as I know they are going to be a condition of a return to normality
Was on a zoom call last evening with a testing company that had some fascinating evidence on protection etc.
I have more reading to do.
Basically i'm at the point in my isolation and thinking that I'll take whatever just so this bullshit can end.
All i have is what goes round and round in my head.
There's no one else to help balance it.
And also to study what happens. Because i have that kind of mind.
But we live with risk every day.
I risk my life climbing walls with only a harness around my waist to catch me as i lean back and fall off
And rational risk assessment is at the heart of everything going wrong these last 12 months
I have a lot of thinking to do.
This is on my mind a lot.
It's about rational risk assessment. Weighing up the pros and cons, not just of the jab, and not just "what happens if i do" but "what happens if i dont"
It's so much more to consider.
But 2 Roche anti-N assays have been "negative" - 0.05, and 0.08 quantitative
So What is the actual answer? Do i just have t cells that mop it up and antibodies aren't necessary?
I also have an autoimmune thyroid disease that has only once tested positive for antibodies - otherwise they're almost always under the threshold. Present, but low
According to the testing company last evening and the expert they had on, if you've already encountered the virus and you're primed, the jab acts as a booster.
It would be a more compelling argument not to be masked if i have had the jab and can prove it.
So yeah.
And who did it harm? Me. It did not change the situtation, which was that i *had* to pass that exam before i could obtain the citizenship i was entitled to for nearly 15 years.
We all have our circumstances and none of them are the same. No one else walks in my shoes.
There should be no coercion and no punishment to any of this.
That's been the biggest lesson i've learned through all of this --
THEY WILL DO IT ANYWAY
look at masks. no evidence of their effectiveness, mandated anyway and repeatedly the thumbscrews are tightened, shops harass us, etc etc.

A brief analysis and comparison of the CSS for Twitter's PWA vs Twitter's legacy desktop website. The difference is dramatic and I'll touch on some reasons why.
Legacy site *downloads* ~630 KB CSS per theme and writing direction.
6,769 rules
9,252 selectors
16.7k declarations
3,370 unique declarations
44 media queries
36 unique colors
50 unique background colors
46 unique font sizes
39 unique z-indices
https://t.co/qyl4Bt1i5x
PWA *incrementally generates* ~30 KB CSS that handles all themes and writing directions.
735 rules
740 selectors
757 declarations
730 unique declarations
0 media queries
11 unique colors
32 unique background colors
15 unique font sizes
7 unique z-indices

The legacy site's CSS is what happens when hundreds of people directly write CSS over many years. Specificity wars, redundancy, a house of cards that can't be fixed. The result is extremely inefficient and error-prone styling that punishes users and developers.
The PWA's CSS is generated on-demand by a JS framework that manages styles and outputs "atomic CSS". The framework can enforce strict constraints and perform optimisations, which is why the CSS is so much smaller and safer. Style conflicts and unbounded CSS growth are avoided.
