Post subject:	Form available for jab exemptions on medical grounds
People who cannot be vaccinated against the coronavirus on medical grounds will be eligible for free rapid tests at ministry of health testing sites on presentation of a relevant certificate, the ministry said on Friday The new procedure aims to avoid discrimination against exceptional documented cases of persons who cannot be vaccinated for Covid-19, the ministry said. Member of the public who fall in this category must complete the relevant form and send it to the email address vacexceptcertification@mphs.moh.gov.cy, attaching all the necessary documents. A relevant report by the specialist doctor/medical officer on the medical reason invoked by the applicant is also required. The ministry of health, in cooperation with the Cyprus Medical Association, has set up a committee composed of doctors of various disciplines to examine the applications and ensure a uniform, documented and equal treatment of all cases. Applications concerning persons under the age of 18 will not be accepted, as rapid antigen testing for this age group will continue to be available free of charge, the ministry said. Furthermore, it should be pointed out that applications will only be dealt with when they are fully completed and submitted with the necessary accompanying documents. https://cyprus-mail.com/2021/07/30/coronavirus-form-available-for-jab-exemptions-on-medical-grounds/ A LINK TO DOWNLOAD THE FORM (GREEK ONLY) IS ON THE NEWS PAGE

Let's hope they check the applications carefully to weed out all the anti vaxxers chancing their arms.

Seen on Facebook: A summary of the prevailing lack of logic.... It's strangely entertaining... "ME: UK gov, should I get vaccinated if I already had Covid? UK gov: “Yes, you should be vaccinated regardless of whether you already had C0VID-19. That’s because experts do not yet know how long you are protected from getting sick again after recovering from C0VID-19.” ME: Oh, okay, we don’t know how long natural immunity lasts. Got it. So, how long does vaccine-induced immunity last? Uk gov: “There is still a lot we are learning about C0VID-l9 vaccines and we are constantly reviewing evidence and updating guidance. We don’t know how long protection lasts for those who are vaccinated.” Me: Okay … but wait a second. I thought you said the reason I need the vaccine was because we don’t know how long my natural immunity lasts, but it seems like you’re saying we ALSO don’t know how long vaccine immunity lasts either. So, how exactly is the vaccine immunity better than my natural immunity? UK gov: … Me: Uh … alright. But, haven’t there been a bunch of studies suggesting that natural immunity could last for years or decades? UK gov: Yes. Years, maybe even decades, according to a new study. ME: Ah. So natural immunity might last longer than vaccine immunity? Uk gov: Possibly. You never know. ME: Okay. If I get the vaccine, does that mean I won’t get sick? Uk gov: Nope. We are just now entering a seasonal spike and about half of our infections and hospital admissions are vaccinated people. ME: is this true? Are there a lot of people in the U.K. catching Covid after getting the jab? David Javid: Over 60% ME: Oh, okay. Hmm. Well, if I can still get sick after I get the vaccine, how is it helping me? Uk gov: We never said you wouldn’t get sick. We said it would reduce your chances of serious illness or death. ME: Oh, sorry. Alright, exactly how much does it reduce my chance of serious illness or death. Uk gov: We don’t know “exactly, we think we've saved over 50,000 lives, but we haven't got any evidence of this. ME: Oh. Then what’s your best estimate for how much risk reduction there is? Uk gov: We don’t know, okay? Next question. ME: Um, if I’m healthy and don’t want the vaccine, is there any reason I should get it? Uk gov: Yes, for the collective and to be allowed to dance at a night club (for now) ME: How does the collective benefit from me getting vaccinated? Uk gov: Because you could spread the virus to someone else who might get sick and die. ME: Can a vaccinated person spread the virus to someone else? Uk gov: Yes. ME: So if I get vaccinated, I could still spread the virus to someone else? Uk gov: Yes. ME: But I thought you just said, the REASON I should get vaccinated was to prevent me spreading the virus? How does that make sense if I can still catch Covid and spread it after getting the vaccine? Uk gov: Never mind that. The other thing is, if you stay unvaccinated, there’s a chance the virus could possibly mutate into a strain that escapes the vaccine’s protection, putting all vaccinated people at risk. ME: So the vaccine stops the virus from mutating? Uk gov: No. ME: So it can still mutate in vaccinated people? Uk gov: Yes. ME: Sorry but this seems confusing. If the vaccine doesn’t stop mutations, and it doesn’t stop infections, then how does me getting vaccinated help prevent a more deadly strain from evolving to escape the vaccine? Uk gov: You aren’t listening, okay? The bottom line is: as long as you are unvaccinated, you pose a threat to vaccinated people. ME: But what KIND of threat?? Uk gov: The threat that they could get a serious case of Covid and possibly die. ME: My brain hurts. Didn’t you JUST say that the vaccine doesn’t keep people from catching Covid, but prevents a serious case or dying? Now it seems like you’re saying vaccinated people can still easily die from Covid even after they got the vaccine just by running into an unvaccinated person! Which is it?? Uk gov: Your just obviously an anti-vaxxer! ME: Wait! I just want to make sure I understand all this. So, even if I ALREADY had Covid, I should STILL get vaccinated, because we don’t know how long natural immunity lasts, and we also don’t know how long vaccine immunity lasts. And I should get the vaccine to keep a vaccinated person from catching Covid from me, but even if I get the vaccine, I can give it to the vaccinated person anyways. And, the other vaccinated person can still easily catch a serious case of Covid from me and die. Do I have all that right?" Logical thinking is now a fringe activity.
