I've been vaccinated twice and I take a test every single time before I go to visit my ageing parents.

Anyone who thinks they're clever by refusing to take one in similar situations is just an ignorant dick to be honest. Aren’t you a hero. Clap for you on Thursday. Myself and Mrs B are double jagged. In the next couple of weeks she’ll get her booster. My FIL (elderly relative) who we visit every few weeks is already boostered. Like you we’ve all followed the government recommendations to get the best protection we all can via vaccination. We’ve decided between us the rest of the theatre is horseshit and we won’t be doing it. My FIL doesn’t check if everyone in the supermarket is tested before he goes in for his messages or when he meets his mates in the pub. He’s too busy getting on with his life to worry about it. No ignorance. An informed decision. If you want to treat yourself as a lethal weapon you go wild mate. I’ll get on with a normal life and laugh at you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Honest_Man#1 Posted November 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2021 Have to admit that the reaction on here to the SG not making the changes they were expected to make (changes which were being heavily criticised in the lead up) has been bizarre and shows that there are now some who are so anti-SG that they can’t be objective about anything they do. I’ve been a fairly strong critic of the SG throughout, but yesterday they, incredibly surprisingly, didn’t double down on the wrong path, yet the same people who were criticising them for what they thought they would introduce are now criticising them for not introducing them. Ludicrous stuff tbh. 26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 There are some people, myself included, who have been generally supportive of the SNP before this and who have lost a bit of faith in them over the last year or so. However there are definitely posters on here who are trying to pretend they're in that boat when in reality they have been anti-SNP the whole time. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 The EU are going to demand a vaccination within the past 9 months to enter the bloc. Pfizer will be bringing out lifetime subscriptions soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empty It Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Have to admit that the reaction on here to the SG not making the changes they were expected to make (changes which were being heavily criticised in the lead up) has been bizarre and shows that there are now some who are so anti-SG that they can’t be objective about anything they do.

Ludicrous stuff tbh.Agreed the steps the SG took not doing what looked inevitable was great, the introduction of LFT tests to get into a venue is also a step in the right direction but they certainly should not be applauded whilst still implementing the use of vaccine passports especially considering there is absolutely no data justifying their use. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone is at it. Some people, like me for example, genuinely believe that things like masks are supported by decades of infection control research and clinical best practice. Because they are. Passports are more tricky and I accept quite a lot of the concerns about civil liberties but, in the round I'd rather the unvaccinated were strongly encouraged to get the jag and if it has to be that way, prevented from attending some high risk venues and events. In the same way we don't let folk drive without a seatbelt or ride a motorbike without a helmet. I'll get pelters for the seatbelt comparison but I'd just like to make it clear to the "main players" on here who will lose their minds at that comparison that they can suck my balls. 15 hours ago, williemillersmoustache said: Can't believe you'd post this.

Perhaps I should have listened to that guy who runs a pub in Essex, or asked a lollipop lady or read the back of a packet of fucking frosties to form my unthinking opinions on the subject. Also, Ice cream vans in Greenock must be very different to the eens we have in the East. Someone should tell the local public/environmental health team about that.
