At least France has now done something positive I noticed when booking my tunnel ticket. You don't have to isolate in France if you have been vaccinated (*2). Coming back to the UK is the complete opposite, you are still treated as if you are a pariah whether vaccinated or not.

Not quite the selling factor to encourage vaccination, is it now.

Also, why is the UK government insisting on private PCR test only when there are plenty of free ones available (abroad or even the UK) from the national health services there?

I think you must be right. How can you decline a test result based on the fact that it was performed "free" rather than paid for, unless you have a financial interest. A PCR test is a PCR test.

I don't understand that either.

I would have thought that the British government would be fully on board with this.

for the 734th time.....
1 in 20 (5%) chance to get long covid (effects lasting longer than 8 weeks)(SAUCE), less so if you arent obese and dont have underlying conditions
There is zero understanding of any possible long term effects of the jab as there has been zero long term testing of the vaccine.

I will take 5% over a complete unknown that could be anywhere between 0% - 100%, fairly logical tbh :idunno: :thumbsup:


So far having the jab means one thing, if you catch it your symptoms wont be as bad as they would have been. The ZOE update added by someone else earlier described the symptoms for the young as "a bad cold" so yeah.... pointless.

Like I've said before as an individual you have no crystal ball to predict if you catch the virus how your body would react, you simply don't know but what you do know is the chances of any serious reaction to the vaccine is certainly low and the benefits look to far outweigh the potential consequences of Covid.

Still not convinced that younger people get off Scot free and the long term consequences of potential long Covid is very real so surely accepting the vaccine will go a long way in minimising symptoms and complications resulting from long Covid.

What would you classify as a younger person? My friend is in her 40s, very fit, does daily cycling and yoga, no underlying heath problems, has been ultra careful but still caught the disease and now suffering badly since Christmas. She has just been accepted today on a 12 week long Covid rehabilitation programme at Stoke Hospital. She is also wearing a heart monitor and undergoing extensive tests to determine whether there has been any major organ damage, It's all very new and alot of unknowns off the after effects of Covid. I wouldn't wish that anyone and why I jumped at the chance of the vaccine. Just because 1 in 3 people don't even know they've had the disease is no excuse to brush it aside as a minor inconvenience.

Have to feel sorry for those who try and find any tit bits of information to dumb down the reality of Covid and the unknowns of the vaccine over the long term.

Where would we be now without the vaccine?

Interesting most people I speak too think of those not accepting the vaccine as simply selfish, hmmmm.

Have you heard of a lady called Lisa Shaw?

She was a healthy 44 year old. Took the vaccine and died.

https://news.sky.com/story/lisa-shaw-ra ... e-12318667

That's the 1st person who springs to mind when you mention someone in their 40's.

I am sure you can find many more if you care to take a look at the yellow card or the vaers database. Not that I really expect you to know what they are?

Did you also know that 29% of the delta variants deaths were from people who were double jabbed? No? I bet your TV didn't tell you that. I also bet that you can't comprehend it either as you still think that the wonder drugs that the TV told you take stop's you from catching and passing on the virus. Not just lessens the symptoms as per what it says on each of their websites.

Thought I would just add this in:

(proof I am not making up my figures of 29%)
