FWIW I add my name to the people asking politely for Vitamin Pissflaps to be threadbanned - his high-impact posting has made the thread completely unreadable and afaict he's never had a single useful contribution to make. (Neither have I, but I am pure of heart)

You'll notice when pressed about GIC's Vitamin P goes silent. Now who's right here, the majority of Britain tran's peoples experiences with the GIC as an insitution or Vitamin P

It sure is weird that he seems to be more invested in policing when a trans person is allowed to be snippy with a cis person when discussing the godawful traumatic healthcare system, rather than engaging with the actual discussion of said healthcare system! Actually maybe we can make this a Teaching Moment in Effects Of Societal Prejudice 101: When you find yourself getting more angry and concerned that a person in some opressed group might be being impolite or improper in calling out the prejudice that effects them, than you are about the actual hurt being done to them and the wider group of people - you might have something to examine about yourself! I can assure you when this happens with trans stuff - e.g. if a person claims to care about trans people but their twitter feed is mostly getting mad about use of the word Terf - every trans person in a 10 mile radius can see exactly what their deal is. Even if they can't and genuinely believe they can't possibly be prejudiced because they're a Good Person. I'm sure the guy who unironically uses "woke" as an insult just has reasonable concerns due to his highly knowledgeable views on trans healthcare and will be along to set these out. Or he will just like, stop posting. No more with the posting. Also a good option.

Also is it me, or is Labour's position of nobly arguing that in fact nurses should have a whopping 2.1% pay rise just weak as gently caress. Like, as a negotiating tactic, an extra 1.1% starting point is just pathetic.

FGM is clearly far worse in what is done and the reasons for it. I was referring purely to the act of removing part of the genitals of a child who can't consent for non-medical reasons.

You know I kinda have to thank vitamin p, venting about his poo poo to a friend turned into much more, we probably would have gone down this road eventually, the mutual attraction was obvious, he was the catalyst for it happening last night. (Non-physically no need to report me to GPhC)

i think of all the indignities and apocalyptic dystopia theming i've enjoyed this year, the first clap was the most profoundly alienating and frightening (i was working in the NHS at the time). that was the moment i was sure i was in a film somehow, in the worst possible way.

Jel Shaker posted:i think over the past several years nhs workers have had a 10% or so pay cut when accounting for inflation, claps have beaten inflation however so it might balance out The only reason the NHS hasn't haemorrhaged even more clinical staff is that by and large most will receive an automatic pay progression semi-regularly. So everyone gets a reasonably significant pay rise each year but each individual pay point is worth less year by year due go inflation. IIRC for nurses it tops out at 9 years so after that you start feeling the below inflation pay rises.

Now that we're at the stage of vaccinating under 60's, is there a moral argument to be made for starting vaccination from 18 and working our way up? If I get long covid at 30ish, I am (and my cohort are more likely to be) in stable jobs and have a history of income, work, education behind me that means I can adapt more readily to a disability, and that's only increasing above that age towards 60. If a teenager gets it, they're possibly hosed for life, they've not even got the chance to get near that career to be able to adapt or will struggle in education. Economically, my purchases are houses and higher-end goods, supporting 1-3 people at a time. 18-20s are doing conspicuous consumption from multiple shops, supporting lots more jobs and industries. To a degree, morally; at the older ages one has had the chance to go on a gap year, go on a holiday, do all those daft clubbing and house parties and one-off weird nights that become incredibly formative and are settled down (and also have more stuff in the house to entertain oneself with), those kids are completely missing that from life. And from a safety point of view, how many are living in incredibly rubbish home situations they need to move out of, that now can't due to no jobs, and flats going through the roof? I guarantee the second we start hitting the 40 year-olds it's going to be back to work and normal life unless unvaccinated, so good luck getting any of the typical zero-hours jobs (not that one should cheer for that, but even that's blocked). While it's to save the NHS as one is more likely to be hospitalised the older one is, surely at the 18-60ish cohort with no clinical vulnerabilities the difference is small enough to start thinking about QOLYs and long-term impacts, particularly given the next academic year is so close round the corner.

Nutapii posted:Now that we're at the stage of vaccinating under 60's, is there a moral argument to be made for starting vaccination from 18 and working our way up? The lack of data on long covid means nobody in power really wants to or has to touch the topic. Deaths by age group are really easy to measure, so we're working towards the conclusion that data suggests. I've heard anecdotes from medic friends of young and healthy people ending up with life changing complications, but we won't have any data for a long while on the number of young people that are going to have a "this scar tissue is where your alveoli used to be" conversation in a decade. This is the best I can find,. It's alarming https://twitter.com/chrischirp/status/1363473889951637504 We've already seen a few attempts to tweak vaccination priorities seen off- the police were a recent example. I'd expect the government to stick to their guns on this. Partly because minimising death is very good moral high ground, and partly because once you let people push for other priorities it's only a matter of time before wealth becomes the measure of priority.
