I'm 36 and in good health. I've never taken it before and I wont start now. If that makes me a selfish kunt then so be it 

Given that you are hardly the target market for a flu jab and the Covid vaccination was not mandated, what makes you think you are going to be forced to have it?

I was replying to the poster who mentioned talk of mandatory flu vaccines. 

The way they're going about things though nothing would suprise me. As long as big pharma and politicians pals are lining their pockets then theyll milk that for all its worth

Cant help but think its a wee bit fucked that they arent rolling out the booster jags for the over 50’s etc yet. 

Has any major country said they are?

Considering we had such a big gap between doses I wouldn't be too concerned and that plus the roll out of the flu we are probably in not too bad shape.

I dont think we should be waiting for other countries. That said I know a few americans who have had boosters.

That you don't see the contradiction on your word is astonishing.  We don't have Covid passports and yet you have managed to attend all these events.  

Why would you need a Covid passport to continue doing these things?  What evidence is there that allowing vaccinated people to attend events will restrict the spread?

True. But I'll freely admit to a sense of nervousness at these - particularly at the gig and the busy football games (and by that I mean in the concourses). 

A Vaccine Passport will provide some assurances on that front. But chiefly it'll hopefully get a few thousand eejits who read bollocks on Facebook to get jagged.

I spent the majority of 2020 checking on vaccine progress, and it was a massive relief to see the first ones delivered in early Dec last year. The vaccines have got us to where we are today, and I'm sorry, but if those who have refused theirs miss out on going to busy, crowded events, then, sorry, my sympathies will be in short supply.

Evidence on the slowing down of the spread is admittedly, it would seem, fairly non-conclusive, but the infection rate v the death rate is about as conclusive as you can get on the success of the vaccines.

I don’t get the flu jab every year but maybe I’m an outlier. To be honest I thought it was only really 70+ people that bothered with it. 

I'm 53 but have been offered it every year since they found I had a blocked artery. I'm 'vulnerable', me.

[mizfit]

I get it but I’m asthmatic so I think that’s an automatic offer from the NHS.

68,000 Covid tests in Scotland yesterday.  Fucking ludicrous.

Anger against the unvaccinated is being drummed up by the media just as it is against migrants, people on benefits and other marginalised groups. 

Migrants & those on benefits, at least to me, aren't arseholes though.

What about an anti vax migrant who's claiming benefits ??

[Am Featha Taigh Nan Clach]

I don't think vaccine passports are really necessary but the Venn diagram of 'people eligible for but refusing to be vaccinated' and  'arseholes' is a near perfect circle so it's going to negatively impact people I don't like. Swings and roundabouts.

Yeah - I get it because I have an underlying condition.  Who is suggesting that flu jabs are going to be mandatory?

Possibly an exaggeration.

I have no idea, but the post that you responded to was itself in response to someone who had posted about mandatory flu vaccines.

[welshbairn]

@Bairnardo , see what you've started! Where did you hear that flu jabs were going to be mandatory?

I've got news for you - vaccines protect the vaccinated.  As said there is some evidence that vaccination reduces transmission however current case numbers should surely be raising questions on whether this is actually the case.  

I still don't see how knowing that everyone at an event is vaccinated reduces your anxiety.  Not that I am for one second advocating for it but surely negative tests would be far more important to you.

Eh? Anti vax? 5G?

I'm well vaxxed. Don't have a problem with them.

China, SKorea, Japan already have the technology in play and it's not difficult. Only China using it as a means to implement their new social credit system towards the goal of improving the behaviour of it's citizens through rewards and punishments. 

Here, your employer can already monitor everything you do at the work place. From your movement around the office and in and out of the building through swipe cards. Monitor everything you do on your PC. Have a company vehicle with GPS monitoring and so on. Then we have the UK legislation that gives government agencies unfettered access to your technology without due cause or warrant. Then we have the street CCTV.

The future equals no privacy. As each day passes both government and business tech systems are constantly being upgraded and integrated. Boris himself even mentioned it last week in negotiating with some US provider towards that goal. From your shopping habits to your journeys, to your education, credit, medical, criminal records and contacts info and so on, will all be under one banner at the stroke of a computer key. I do get it, but whether I like it, is another matter.

As for nutters, try and debate the points as opposed to the hyperbole. You'll need to get out more. You are a fine example of the fool the government always wanted us to be. You're not alone. We all are to a greater or lesser extent.
