    Trying to book my vaccine, but my nearest vaccination site is showing as 25 miles away.  I know of 2 vaccination sites within 3 miles of my house!!

    I assume all centre's near me must still be using Oxford vaccine & I'm under 40
    I had the same in Dartford last week. Just booked up in London Bridge for when I go there tomorrow.

    Had my second Pfizer jab earlier today. Slightly sore arm as per the first time, but that’s it. That’s me done.

    So he had a bad reaction. Shit happens to some, unfortunately.  Still alive though and very unlikely to die if he gets Covid now. Perhaps years of substance abuse might have caused the reaction.

    Just a suggestion to everyone, it’s a nice gesture to say well done and thanks to the volunteers at the centers......it’s great to see their faces light up when you say that to them and let’s face it, under the circumstances it’s the least we can do.

    A friend went to The Valley yesterday afternoon for first vaccine and they’d had 80 no shows in 1 day. Seemed a lot to me, but I don’t know how normal that is.
    I posted on the Coronavirus thread yesterday that my wife went for her first at Aspire pharmacy in Sidcup. Said it was mega busy buy they were accommodating a lot of people who just turned up without a booking. 

    She feels a bit rough today but nothing serious. Got my second on Tuesday.
    Good on the people of Sidcup.

    Book it, you'll find the journey worthwhile once you have had the jab.

    Can’t believe I’m even writing this but I need some help. 

    A friend of mine has sent me a video of his Mrs’ dad’s arm becoming magnetic at the vaccine site after having his Pfizer jab. He puts the magnet to his arm and it sticks. He has told me his mum is also the same. Magnet sticks on vaccine arm, but drops on the other. 

    I tried Googling an explanation to debunk him
    and whilst they said the vaccine cannot be magnetic, I have not found an explanation as to why the magnet would be sticking... can anybody help me explain this to him? 
    Is he an iron?
    Are you asking if he's a West Ham fan or bats for the opposition?

    Yes, you hate to imagine the chemicals still floating around his system!

    Anti lockdown living in a mansion. Now bleating because of side effects of a vaccination that could save his life and of those around him. 
    I note he was so worried he had the second jab though.

    Got mine in Daaaanham at the weekend after my shift as a volunteer. Pfizer, first jab, felt alright other than sore arm and slight temperature that evening. Shift went well other than telling off someone for wearing a Palace mask! Doing another this Saturday.

    I’ve heard this can happen if you have too much iron in your blood and the vaccination takes place within 500 yards of a 5G tower. 

    Alternatively, it could just be total bollocks

    Thanks for the link @SomervilleAddick and sorry for the late reply on this.

    I sent this to my friend, and his reply was 'well this doesn't actually confirm why the magnet was sticking and why it was only at the arm of the injection site and not the other arm.'

    It's doing my head in that I can't find an explanation to this. I can find a lot discussing how the vaccine cannot contain enough metal material to be magnetic, but cannot find an explanation as to how a magnet is sticking to an injection site. I have seen this first hand so I know my friend isn't lying.

    I feel like a tin-foil hat wearing, facebook degree conspiracy theorist for even typing this, but I badly want an explanation for it.

    There's more iron in a pint of Guinness than in a jab, and I can assure you I have never become more attractive after a good session on the black stuff

    Skin is sometimes sticky. Ever leaned on a desk with bare arms and found your forearms stick to it? Given a small enough magnet, and the subject leaning slightly so it isn't a vertical surface, it's entirely plausible that a small metallic object (magnetised or not) would appear to 'stick' to the skin.

    Three things are required for you to disprove this

    1 - If there is enough of a magnetic reaction between the 'magnet' and the 'magnetised skin', there should be a movement towards the magnet from the skin when the magnet is placed nearby

    2 - The subject should have their arm perfectly vertical to the 'magnet' and no force should be applied when placing the magnet near the arm (if the surfaces are truly magnetic, the force required to 'attract' shoukd be sufficient to 'pull' the magnet into the arm

    3 - Put some talc on the arm and the magnet. Magnetic attraction isn't affected by talc. If both surfaces are truly magnetic, they will attract and 'stick'. Applying talc rules out attraction by adhesion

    I don’t want to appear dismissive but there is zero chance of an injection site becoming magnetic. Zero

    1. Get a 2 sided magnet 

    2. Apply glue to one side of said magnet 

    3. Press gluey side on vaccinated arm with just enough pressure so that it holds momentarily 

    4. Remove magnet and rotate on it's axis as you move it towards the other arm and apply non gluey side to other arm and release 

    5. Post video recording of this on social media and entitle the clip something like "Dave's magnetic arm after vaccine"/ "Bill Gates' sinister plan to turn us into robots"

    6. Sit back and watch the internet speculation grow until Prof Chris Witty has to make a teatime statement to inform the general public and attendant media that AstraZeneca and Pfizer jabs will not turn you into a middle aged bloke/ Terminator T3000 hybrid prototype.

    Well, explain to me why after me and the missus had our jabs we always end up on opposite sides of the bed - we must have the same polarity.

    In fact, I've just made a video demonstrating how easy it is to fake this with a 'magnet' (in this case a small aluminium USB key) on my own weedy bicep...

    Did you get your jab in your right arm then ?

    Deliberately used my RIGHT arm in case some bellend were to look at it and say it 'proved' the vaccination site is magnetic :smiley:

    Ok so i said all of this to my friend. He then says to me well show them this:

    I think he may be past the point of no return, but is there an explanation for this?

    Charged his body with static electricity?
    Looks to me that he was pressing then releasing the button at various times. Did we see the back of the sensor?

    Ultimately the only explanation required is that it is bollocks.
