It really has gotten to the stage where we have explained over and over and over to people who are either simply not reading what is actually being said, are incapable of understanding it or are being intellectually dishonest.
If you want the vaccine I'm 100% behind you, go take it and all the best, just don't be a smooth brained walloper because on balance of Risk vs Reward its not for me.
As for Chris Whitty, the sky is blue and fire is hot
He basically just said "People that drive cars are most likely to be in a car accident"
Im still waiting to find out how long the vaccine actually lasts, it could be that by Summer the people who were vaccinated first are at risk again :thumbsdown:

I nearly replied with "at the end of the day it gets dark".

It has been exhausted tbf. I need to tap out and I don't know why I can't.

It's going to be at least a yearly thing for the next 3-4 years I think (no evidence to back it up). Blame it on the anti-vaxers and pop out a load of fear on a new "variant" to keep fear high and the shareholders happy.

I'm certainly not calling you stupid, I perhaps just have more faith in the scientists and the work done to create a vaccine than some otherwise we would be stuffed with no way out.
I'm just pleased my parents didn't dither and ummm and arrrr and question the experts in the 60s when vaccines were so important at the time and I'm still here to no ill effect 56 years down the road.
If you know something we don't regarding the vaccine that's great but I'll put my trust in it knowing I'll be able to get on with life with minimum worry for myself

It might be safe to soon venture out to pubs, holidays etc but the pandemic hysteria will live on long after the risks have subsided
In my 40’s, my parents and most of my friends parents, are in their 70’s. Understandably, some of them are absolutely petrified of catching Covid and dieing.
I say “understandably” as the hysteria whipped up is horrendous. Yes Covid can be extremely dangerous, yes it’s a worry, yes it’s a lottery but no it’s not a guaranteed death sentence if your over a certain age
And that is the mindset many people now have
My mum has had the jab and the virus (with very mild symptoms), so I’d say although nearly 70, shes quite safe from serious complications.
But she doesn’t feel safe and the anxiety hasn’t subsided. Many of her freinds and parents of my freinds have had the jab but the extreme anxiety hasn’t eased. They’re still convinced death is just around the corner and I’m not sure that fear will go away with the easing of restrictions
I hope it does but my own experience says the mental effects of this on the at risk groups aren’t going anywhere soon.

ronk said:I would like to see that as well - the post was made prior to roll out of the vaccine and I suspect there will be a few Undecided and Maybe voters who are now more and better informed will have changes
The NO voters I suspect will have dug their heals in.
Id be interested too, personally Id still stick myself in the "undecided/after first round results are known group"
mgrlane... Meet you at the border mate

Flyingfifer said:
