According to the Readers' Digest, a bearded dragon can live for 15 years in captivity so I'd hazard that makes our Duke over 1,400 years old?

Yeah, that's it 100%. Nothing to do with the fact he's 99 years old and susceptible to all manner of infections. Yeah, definitely must be the covid jab

Could Prince Philip's current ailment be an adverse reaction to the Covid jab, and officials are reluctant to publicise that for fear of encouraging anti-vax sentiment?

(Not hinting that any anti-vax notion is sensible, because I think anti-vaxers are barking mad and on the balance of risks it's far better for anyone, especially old timers, to have the jab vs not. But even though the old boy is 99 and could therefore conk out at any moment, the timing of his present indisposition does seem more than a coincidence)

He has form for being taken in as a precautionary measure. He may have ailments that have never been made public and that's what's affecting him now.

It is also possible that he had an adverse reaction to the vaccine.

There is no way to know unless you can trick the hospital into giving out information...

Wheres an Australian prankster when you need one?

[ladymuck]

Because he'd have some serious explaining to do... (Urinary tract infection, indeed )

At least it's not syphilis

I'm not sure how you work that out.
At age 99 he has a 1/3 chance of dying. So to become hospitalised is more likely than not.

Yes, you can also track Prince Philip if you have a 5G phone.

and I'm equally certain they didn't, not least because it had hardly been tested back then.

[OwlHoot]

No, because they certainly had it 6+ months ago ..

I'm certain they (HMQ & hubby, and others in the royal household) had it only a couple of weeks ago when this was publicised.
