My current thinking is that I wouldn't touch the vaccine.
I'm afraid of the auto-immune system effect. I get flu if I take the flu jab (so I've stopped doing that). I've covered this a few pages ago.

A technical glitch which meant almost 16,000 Covid-19 cases went unreported has been slammed as "shambolic" after it emerged that it led to delays in tracing contacts of people with coronavirus. The number of UK Covid cases surged by 22,961 on Sunday after it was revealed that thousands of cases were not included in daily reports due to some data files reporting positive test results exceeding the maximum file size.

How can a file exceed the maximum file size (oxymoron)? Unless the receiving software has a maximum file size constraint. And how would that happen? Unless they were on 16 bit software it would have to have been a deliberately introduced constraint.

Far more likely that the receiving software didn't have dynamic table sizes.

Obviously there is a design problem with the back-end software but if they don't employ me to validate all this, what can you expect!!

Further to the above, the PM said on TV that the "data had been truncated".

This would mean that the back-end software did not mitigate the failure mode of a system file size limit, which is c. 8 PetaBytes in W10. However, I've seen hospitals in my local trust still using Vista where the maximum is 2TB (on 32 bits).
