While there are un vaccinated amongst us the virus will always have somewhere to go and do its mutation.

Again, vaccinated people can still catch and pass on the virus, that also means they can be vectors for its mutation. At this stage Ron saying this is nothing more than misinformation :thumbsdown:

UK Government said:"Like all medicines, no vaccine is completely effective, so you should continue to take recommended precautions to avoid infection. Some people may still get COVID-19 despite having a vaccination, but this should be less severe."

Someone that I used to work with (in the same team, but he was based in the US) died as a result of contracting COVID-19. He cleared the virus but his body never fully recovered and ultimately his lung collapsed and his heart stopped. We all thought he was going to pull through but have a long recovery. He was 47. Granted, I believe (but can't confirm 100%) that he had asthma and was overweight, but he certainly didn't seem to be struggling with any health issues before getting the virus. He even joined a team call just over two weeks before he died and was in good spirits. I see some people on Facebook who are strongly opposed to lockdowns focus purely on the mortality rate, but they don't balance that with the percentage of people that suffer a life changing illness and go on to recover - which sounds like your friend, Tim. There's a not insignificant amount of people that survive but still have a negative long term health outcome. We thought our teammate was going to be one of those, not someone we lost.
I don't see any perfect solutions to this - I think you have to balance the risks to yourself and others and make the best decisions you can.
Long Covid can still effect the young despite not having anything but mild symptoms of catching the actual disease. Why would you take a risk with your future by refusing the jab?TitanTim said:Still don't get why people wouldn't want the vaccine as it's really a win win. It's delusional to think just because you're young you will be fine unvaccinated. It's a chance at the end of the day, chances are high you will be fine with few symptoms, but you can't predict that and unfortunately might be unlucky or like a friend of mine in her mid forties is still off work since Christmas with post Covid and starting to worry she might never be physically fit to work again.
Funny thing freedom of choice for some.
Tim.
