Medscape is a commercial publisher. It is owned by WebMD - Wiki notes these criticisms of this publisher


The New York Times

Writing in The New York Times Magazine in 2011, Virginia Heffernan criticized WebMD for biasing readers toward drugs that are sold by the site's pharmaceutical sponsors, even when they are unnecessary. She wrote that WebMD "has become permeated with pseudo-medicine and subtle misinformation."


Vox Media

Julia Belluz of Vox criticized WebMD for encouraging hypochondria and for promoting treatments for which evidence of safety and effectiveness is weak or non-existent, such as green coffee supplements for weight loss, vagus nerve stimulation for depression, and fish-oil/omega-3 supplements for high cholesterol.


I cannot confirm these criticisms, nor say they relate also to Medscape - but in reading Medscape you may wish to note its stable companion.


The source is commercial, it is neither academic nor specifically medical (i.e. not from those involved in medical research or provision of medical services) save as a commercial publisher of information targeted at medics.

Why are people using this thread to spew anti-vax propaganda? Should all be banned from this thread imo.


Anyway, back to the actual topic at hand... day 4 after my mum had her vaccine and all side effects have gone away. She only felt sick for one day and now she?s back to her usual self.

Having reported on 4 members of my family receiving the Pfizer vaccine, only one of whom suffered some side-effects, (most likely because he had been exposed to covid last year), today I had my jab. My friend and her daughter (serious auto immune issues)had theirs yesterday. For me and my friend - AZ vaccine. Slightly sore arm and not feeling 100% but I am ok. My friend who had covid and it became long covid is still experiencing side-effects 24 hours after the jab (rash, temperature, flu symptoms). Her daughter who, unlike us, was given the Pfizer vaccine is ok so far.

Agreed - I think it's disgraceful. If you have concerns about medicines then fine, but keep them to yourself (or at least stick to the facts) rather than irresponsibly spreading misinformation. The sad fact is, people will DIE as a result of reading this nonsense and unfortunately believing it. I only hope that the readers of this forum can see through this dangerous and selfish behavior, and apply some common sense.


A few people I know have reported side effects (particularly AZ) but that is not uncommon for vaccines, is it? It is good to be prepared for such things. But there is no conspiracy here.


"Pro-vaccine" isn't really even a thing. We should refer anti-vaccine as "pro-death".

Not all medical doctors are geniuses. I personally know one or two with the common sense of a mushroom. They studied hard and got the grades.

There has been some suggestion that side effects are more marked if the person being vaccinated has had Covid-19. (And, as a corollary, for those that have had a second vaccine that their side effects have been worse than when they had the first).


Perhaps those who have had significant side effects (worse say than a partner) could include with their feedback whether they have had, or suspect they've had, Covid already. My partner and I (both vaccinated together, neither, we think, have had Covid-19, or at least not symptomatically) had limited (12-15 hours) 'feeling rough' before returning to normal.

I'm pro-choice and will not be bullied by the pack to "protect" us all and I'm far from alone. We would not need desperate Videos targetted at the BAME community and now the Queen, combined with banning all debate about the vaccine is making people more suspicious.

If you want to trust a new drug, go for it and be "protected" I will take my chances.


I suppose you think it's ok to force experimental mRNA on people with dementia who cannot consent

Excellent idea!

And also updates in symptoms after the 2nd jab would be helpful I feel

Update re: side effects. I had my AZ jab Friday morning. No ill effects all day but overnight really felt unwell with chills, sore arm, nausea, aching joints, feeling weak and generally unwell. Slight cold symptoms. Didn't feel ok-ish until later on Saturday afternoon. Not sure if the nausea and bout of vomiting was to do with the jab or coincidence. All ok now. The medic in the family who'd had a similarly bad reaction to first Pfizer jab had the second one yesterday and so far so good. No ill effects.

Over 60?s now being vaccinated. Can book online with your NHS number. I got the NHS letter yesterday & booked for pharmacy in Norwood next week. Would have liked to go to the Tessa Jewell Centre as that?s so close but that?s not available online.

I'm sure you'll be fine! I was expecting all sorts of side effects and thankfully the ones I had were minimal and bearable.

Had my first vaccine on Saturday at Tessa Jowell - fantastic experience, lovely staff.


I had Covid back in May, so was braced for side effects.


In the end, felt no worse than a bad hangover. Lots of aches, pains, fatigue yesterday. Sweats overnight last night, but feel pretty much back to normal now.


Incidentally, for those of you who are yet to have their jab (or set to have their second one) you can prebook a free ride via Pedal Me:

      Fake barbers

      I watched this BBC expose on the news a week or so ago and wasn’t surprised at what they found although ii’s shocking when you see what the Police uncover. The amount of nail bars in London appearing almost daily is also cause for concern. What I can’t understand is the places that were raided had thousands and thousands of pounds of unpaid gas, electric etc bills.

      Looking for a GP with experience of autoimmune rheumatic diseases

      By Soylent Green · Posted

      GPs are general practitioners, hence the name; they are not specialists.  Specialist doctors only work in hospitals.  Each GP surgery has a catchment area; you cannot just choose a GP because you think they are the best match for your health condition, you have to be in their catchment.  If you are not happy with the one you are currently with, ring round the others nearby and find an alternative who is able to take you.  Then, work with your hospital clinic and the GP together to maintain your health. As an aside, I have a chronic autoimmune condition and have had no problems with the shared care of my GP (The Gardens) and hospital consultant ( I am under Prof Heneghan).  I visit the clinic twice a year, they advise my GP of any changes and the GP does my prescriptions (which include a controlled drug) and my blood tests in between.  When there has been any queries about compatibility or suitability of a treatment, the GP contacts the team at Kings for advice.  The system works perfectly.   Good luck with your change of GP and give them any hospital letters when you sign up.  A GP along cannot manage your condition, so you will need to ask your hospital specialists to set up a new shared care agreement with your new GP (this has to be done this way; a GP cannot set that up).

      Japan for holiday - how expensive is it now?

      By Jamesh31 · Posted

      We went as a family of four in October. Flights were OK (Cathy Pacific, in their January sale) and accommodation was relatively expensive in Tokyo (definitely not £30 a night) but food/drink/transport/shopping were way cheaper. Easy to feed four of us in an izakaya for £40 including drinks. Shops like muji & Uniqlo half the price they are here. We ended up needing to buy an extra suitcase. Was an incredible trip
