30 year cover-up of vaccine dangers exposed in UK government transcripts

Never trusted the MMR, went private and got our family the single jags, but what amazed me was when we arrived at the private hospital in Darlington, my missus who is a nurse pointed out that she knew or recognised at least 50% of the dozens of other parents and doctors and nurses from her own trust !!

Our boy just had his MMR today

He's 20 months old, we'd been putting it off - hoping to avoid it altogether to be honest, but he needs to be fully vaccinated to go to nursery. The cost of the individual vaccines is at present, £120 each. So that's £360 for the first round, then another £360 for the second lot!!

I know you can't put a price on your childs health, but unfortunately needs must sometimes. I mean, I had the combined one, and I'm alright...

Did you know that only 11% of people pay for their subscription medication. That 11% pay for the other 89%!!!

The wife is a medical rep, and she was telling me all about it a little while back. I'll double check the figures, but it's at most 15% (I'm actually VERY sure it's 11%, but will check). The government doesn't count people on disabilities, job seekers, and the alike, when it comes to working out how many people pay for their medicine. Oddly, doctors do!!! A SouthWest doctor meeting conference thing, said the national statistics show only 11% pay for their prescriptions!!!

I'm in the 11% and as I've got whooping cough and subsequent tracheitis (ie a lot of long term coughing) I have racked up quite a bill recently. Fortunately my GP gives me a private prescription when that would be cheaper which has helped.

Yup. There's a way round having to pay for your prescriptions anyway - when you hand it over tick the jobseekers box (or whatever it is - excemption probably) and stick down a fake NI number. Job done.

I had to do it once when completely skint and desperately needed the antibiotics.

Didn't know about that little trick beard, will have to remember it !

For those who need regular meds, enquire about a pre-paid card.

It costs me about £12 a month via direct debit & I get unlimited prescriptions for that. Ask at your local chemist. It saves me a fortune.

The thing with ticking the JSA box is they randomly check them. If you happen to get caught out our lovely govt have another reason to screw you over & fine you.

I suppose if you are skint & need the meds to get better though, it's a necessity in my eyes & anything goes in those circumstances.
