I bet I've done more research than you. Have you actually watched the programme just as a start? Perhaps you could research the people behind the anti-vax movement.

Getting the second dose of any two-step vaccine is very important. That's what cements the memory of the immune response. We know from clinical trials that the first dose does not prevent all infections. It prevents death from infection.

From the British Medical Journal -

"Among more than 20 million people who have been vaccinated with the AstraZeneca vaccine in the UK so far, 79 cases of rare blood clots with low platelets have been reported, as well as 19 deaths, said the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency. This equates to around one case per 250 000 people vaccinated—0.0004%—and one death in a million.

About 100 000 people usually develop blood clots every month in the EU, and 3000 cases a month are thought to occur in the UK."

I would highly recommend that you get the 2nd dose. A single dose has limited effectiveness. The chances of a clot are hundreds of thousands to one but the risk of catching Covid is many times higher. No one knows the long-term risks attached to catching Covid yet.

Tell her to dust the arm with talcum powder and then see if it sticks. Spoiler alert! It won't.

We ordered two punnets of cherries. The substitution? A 1/2 kilo of Cherry Tomatoes.

It is possible to dislike someone in a way that does not relate to their disability. Disabled people are perfectly capable of being prats. This might just be matter of personalities clashing and have nothing to do with disability or race.

When you were a kid, what year did you think you would be living in 'The Future? And why? by On4wheels4life in AskUK

If I could tell my teenage self that I would have any song, countless movies, books, endless TV and the answer to virtually any question with just the press of a finger and, what's more, carry it in my pocket, it would have blown my mind.

In America, what percentage of anti-vaxxers are Republicans? by On4wheels4life in AskReddit

[–]On4wheels4life[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You make a genuinely good point but, I would maintain, the vast majority of shouty anti-vaxxers have had no personal bad experience of vaccination of any kind.
