I don't live with my mum but I'd have to not visit her. And I work with vulnerable people. And my meds are weird. We'll see. NHS FOREVER!

I never have a go at health staff. If I get turned away I'll take it up with the relevant parties. Like I said, I genuinely don't have the cash atm, but if I have to pay I'll pass it on to my employer (and notify my union)

Like I said, I'm on meds *and* front line. We'll see. Regardless, everyone deserves free healthcare.

Hey everyone! My new imaginary punk or pop band is called PERFORMATIVE

I will add that if you're not "eligible" and haven't already been vaccinated, you should be given the vaccination upon request. Health is a right and germs don't give a shit about nationalities or borders. (And neither do I)

Look, I don't wanna say it was better in the old days but can someone @helenlove1.bsky.social point me towards some contemporary sparkle punk that's as good as this youtu.be/HyM9RSi8-Dw?...

There's a guy from Shrewsbury and he's really tall and he had a friend that was writing a biography of John Candy but they couldn't get any funding cos there was was no sort.

Do you know about that book what that person wrote that Shaun from Shrewsbury knew and couldn't get published cos it was about John Candy BEING NICE?

I honestly haven't got £80 available today. That's not my point. The more people vaccinated, the fewer people risk being exposed unvaccinated. And I believe health is a right. Maybe if I make enough money and you want to take £80 off me at the end of the year that's okay.

I may be fucked. But I *work* in a home, so spending a minimum of 42hr/week should hopefully qualify. If I have to pay, I will. But I will also put it in to my employer as a cost and notify my union.

Is this really real? Cos on the off chance I have to pay, I want those points. Nearly a quid!

Isn't it fucking insane that we're even talking about this? Like.. "Am I entitled to that thing which may save my life or the lives of others?"

Changed GP recently but the last one definitely wanted to have it. Before now I've had appointments sent to me. The NHS app didn't stop me from making an appointment..

EXACTLY how the NHS should work. Free at the point of service.

That said, it's my mum's birthday soon so if I don't get the jab I'll unfortunately not be able to give her a birthday present. £25 in my pocket.

You mean for rationing? Like I said, I'm on meds AND I'm front-line. If I have to pay I'm definitely putting it in for expenses.

I have an appointment for both.

Nom de Guerre @brunepherine.bsky.social · 19h

I just checked online and they're letting me SAY I'm entitled to it. Unsure, but I'm front-line health care, my Mum immuno-compromised, and due to my meds I was entitled previously. I'll turn up and see what happens!

I changed GP a couple of months ago and haven't been offered any jabs. I've seen everyone is getting jabs. Should I be knocking at their door?

We are not in the least afraid of ruins. We are going to inherit the earth; there is not the slightest doubt about that. The bourgeoisie might blast and ruin its own world before it leaves the stage of history. We carry a new world here, in our hearts. That world is growing in this minute.
