My own view is if you’re going to someone’s house then I think it’s only fair to tell them whether you’re/ me/whoever is vaccinated or not, it’s simply a respect thing as this virus is having catastrophic effects as you know. Just my view.

I could possibly see a case for saying if you have had covid or not (there are very few re-infections after you have built natural immunity) but personally I don't see the jabbers as any less risk marginally than the un-jabbers.

I don’t know the current levels of jabbers transmitting to un- jabbers tbh, only that it’s less but put that to one side. Surely it’s up to the house owners to choose wether they let you in or not…? Not telling them doesn’t give them a choice in their own home.

If there are workmen coming to your house do you ask them if they have been vaccinated?
Would you turn them away if they hadnt, or would it depend on whether the job you needed done was desperate or not?
Can you believe a stranger to tell the truth whether they have had the jabs or not if it potentially stops them doing the job and losing money ?
Where would somebody draw the line?
 
I don’t have workmen in the house I do it all myself.

I think now covid is here to stay if a workman hasn’t had the jab with a cert then he can’t be surprised if he gets turned away, that’s just how life is going to be.
 
As I said, if I am vaccinated I don’t mind being around unvaccinated people, that’s not the problem. If I had a vulnerable person in the house then yes I would demand to know (or refuse entry if they don’t want to divulge).

Sorry, but I don’t think the amount of people with side effects is anywhere near the amount of people with covid and long covid, and all the people not attending appointments and operations because of how covid is affecting the NHS.

There seems to be an echo chamber of social media at the moment and those banging on about side effects are only looking at the data they want to.
 
I don’t mind either, my point was some will and I think it’s only fair to let them know or not If you’re going in their house, especially friends.
 
I wonder if unvacinated peeps who have issue declaring their vacinated status is because they feel ever so slightly embarrassed or a pang of guilt.

Doubt it somehow…

Genuine question.

What is there to feel guilty about?

In my opinion, potentially taking up needed ICU beds with unnecessary covid.

Na.

I can't remember the last hospital appointment I had or the last time I went to the doctor's.

I sincerely hope your record continues as such but it’s very unlikely to do so unfortunately.

Confidence of youth - priceless!
 
There is no disrespect towards you.

Just not guilty of taking up a hospital bed in the very small chance that I might fall ill to covid.

In good health, never been to hospital in at least 10-15 years. Eat well, don't abuse my body.

I guess I might feel different if I was 60, fat and a smoker.

You say that but again as discussed before you have no idea whether you may or may not end up in hospital which in my book makes sense taking the vaccine to reduce that risk.

Its taking a chance based on past history of not requiring a hospital or doctors visit yet covid wasn't around in the past.

I'm very much the same, having gone through a medical vetting process recently when my GP was submitting my medical records they contacted me to let me know there was a problem as they had massive gaps in my records and believed that they hadn't been transferred correctly, I had to explain that in my 32 years of life I had been at the doctors less than probably 10 times and had only been to hospital twice, it had been about 7 years since I was last at my GP.

Isnt it weird how people with aids are given legal protection in terms of disclosing their personal medical situation (which I agree with to an extent) yet here we are happily goose stepping down the road of vaccine passports and the requirement to disclose personal medical information.

The absolute refusal to accept reality as well is absolutely mind boggling. :headbang:
Vaccinated people catch and spread the virus just like everyone else. The Royal Navy Carrier Strike Group is a perfect example of that, all crew double jabbed, yet there was a wave of cases across the fleet.

Younger people can be hospitalised with covid, you don’t know for sure if you could be one of them.

I cant be sure I wont die of a heart attack in 5 mins or be hit by a bus or killed in a car crash or be in a plane that falls out of the sky....
 
I know of two fitness instructors who got covid… one of them very nearly ended up in ICU… thankfully not, but it was close. If a load of unvaccinated people get sick and end up in the ICU then we will be right back in lockdown, which is no fun for anyone and a massive issue for the economy.

Nobody’s saying the virus can’t be caught & spread by vaccinated people (although it seems less likely)
What we do know is that vaccinated people are less likely to end up being so ill & taken to hospital.
I think people with aids have to disclose their status if they’re in danger of exposing others to the disease?

You alone getting hit by a bus doesn’t concern me, it’s not a stretch for the nhs…. A pandemic of runaway busses might be an issue though.
