No, the 1922 Committee got enough letters to force a Tory Party VONC, but she won the actual vote fairly comfortably. There was also a parliamentary one which she won slightly less comfortably.

Yeah I'm not particularly worried, I'm triple vaccinated and only in my early 30s. Symptoms so far aren't so bad, just a sore throat and bunged up with an occasional cough. Hopefully it doesn't get much worse but :shrug:

I'm more annoyed because I have poo poo to be getting on with and I'll be pissed if it actually knocks me on my arse. I'm irritated that my perfect zero infection pandemic run has been ruined too!

Get well soon.

I'm only keeping up my attempts to avoid covid[1] because it's just so passe now. When it becomes hipster retro I'll be out there sticking my nose right into the medical waste bins at the hospital though.

[1] Which are admittedly extremely limited, and kinda ruined by regularly going to stand in a concrete bowl with 60,000 other people once a week or so, but I have some 3M masks now!

If I'm being honest catching it after dodging it successfully for two whole years is the bit that really stings. I was coming to believe I was genuinely immune through some freak quirk of biology.

My sense of smell came back fully the other week, and I was surprised by how happy that made me. I really enjoying cooking so it took some adjustment.

I only lost it completely for a week or so, but since about June it has been really muted. My sense of taste was ok, thankfully.

When it started to come back I was getting really weird phantom smells, like burning oil. The only downside is that I can now again smell when my daughter’s nappy needs changing.

It's not something I've ever really looked into but I wonder if you had big antivax movements in Jenner's day. Lawrence Fox's great great grandad, the last person to die of smallpox. Tbh back in the day you'd have more grounds to worry because 18th C inoculation did just give you the disease on occasion so you can see why people would be hesitant.

As far as I am aware yes there were, and there were also definitely people complaining about mask mandates during the spanish flu even as people were dying of it.

Mask mandates yes but afaik especially by the mid 20th C people were culturally conditioned to accept paternalistic medical expertise much more readily so I'd be interested to see know if there was a meaningful antivax movement. I'm thinking out loud here and haven't done any actual research but I'd imagine you can probably trace the origins of a lot (though ofc not all) of this hesitancy to the critiques of medical authoritarianism that emerged out of the New Left (foucault being the OG probably) and really took off in the 1980s.

I want Fox and his ilk to get Covid and have either long Covid or die. I make no apologies for that. They are responsible for others’ deaths.

Fun fact: I watched the now dated Lawrence Fox film 'The Hole' again the other day because I saw it on Netflix and remembered it being decent. It's actually still alright, with the exception of Keira Knightley, who was only sixteen at the time, flashing her tits. I do not understand how that hasn't been edited out, but yes apparently there is still inexplicably CP on the world's biggest streaming platform of all things. Bizarre.
