And certain other people are obsessed with ‘gatekeeping’ this forum.  I just ignore threads I’m not interested in.  Why not do the same?

It makes you wonder why the thread was reported in the first place and by who .

Like I said, he's obsessed with his respiratory conditions, that bloke. 

Not the first time this has been mentioned, which rather ignores the other organs which are affected in some people, particularly those who suffer from Long Covid.
Obviously plenty of people round who deny Long Covid exists, often on the basis that they aren't sufferers, but that doesn't change the reality for those who are.
e.g.
How COVID-19 Messes Up Your Gut Health Time story here, though there are other reports on medical websites etc. such as this from The Government of Canada

When you reach for a COVID-19 test, it’s probably because you’ve got a scratchy throat, runny nose, or cough. But those are far from the only symptoms that make Dr. Rohit Jain, an internal medicine doctor at PennState Health, suspect the virus.

These days, when someone complains of nausea, diarrhea, or vomiting, “I always get a COVID test on that patient,” Jain says.

Why? Despite its reputation as a respiratory virus, SARS-CoV-2 can also have a profound impact on the gut. Although most people don’t realize it, “COVID-19 really is a GI-tract disease” as well as a respiratory illness, says Dr. Mark Rupp, chief of infectious diseases at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.

A lot is still unknown about COVID-19 and only just starting to come to light, such as accelerated aging to the brain: https://scitechdaily.com/severe-covid-19-ages-your-brain-20-years-new-study-reveals/

 

The COVID-19 vaccination has been found to protect against serious cardiovascular disease however:

He's more obsessed about it than our old TV fixing friend used to be.

Or  A Doctor on Whats App offers too much cash to test Moderna Covid vaccine

Or  Anti vaxx group complains about Doctor who offers more for a trial than approved by Moderna.

      

 

 

     The Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI)  has a Code of Practice for its members. Moderna is a member.

     The Prescription Medicines Code of Practice Authority is responsible for administering the Code.

     The Children’s Covid Vaccines Advisory Council of which Dr Rosamond Jones describes herself as a Convenor, complained about  a NHS paediatrician who made "... an unapproved WhatsApp message used to promote the recruitment of children into a clinical trial which the complainant alleged offered an inappropriate financial inducement."

    NHS paediatrician offered  £1500 on completion of the study that involved:

- A brief screening visit to the hospital]

- A visit to receive the booster dose of vaccine

- 3 monthly brief visits to the hospital as follow up

- Completing a daily e-diary saying how they feel for a year

This level of remuneration was regarded as too high and that Moderna should have known about the offer and the way it was advertised. As a ABPI member was found to have been in:

Breach of Clause 5.1

Failing to maintain high standards

Breach of Clause 2

Bringing discredit upon, and reducing confidence in, the pharmaceutical industry
