Elixir Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 So in other words 80%+, and likely some of those undecided, will take it despite being at next to no risk. A reminder also at this point that Israel have eviscerated this shan virus at ~80% of all adults fully vaccinated - a threshold the UK will eventually surpass given we have among the highest vaccine advocacy in the world.

Another one who is dreading this being over, papped off the tele, and back in his surgery having to prescribe acne creams to spotty teenagers.

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 The most American news story ever https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/556350-west-virginia-to-give-away-guns-as-vaccine-incentive West Virginia will be giving away guns as an incentive to get residents of the state inoculated against COVID-19. Gov. Jim Justice (R) announced a new incentive lottery program for residents to get vaccinated during a news conference on Tuesday The drawings will run from Father’s Day on June 20 to Aug. 4, and will include a variety of prizes from cash to firearms and even trucks. During the Father’s Day drawing, the state will give away five custom hunting rifles and five custom hunting shotguns. Justice said the state will also give away two brand-new, custom outfitted trucks and five lifetime hunting and fishing licenses. In addition, residents could win one of 25 getaways to West Virginia’s state parks. Also during the June 20 lottery, one person will win $1 million. There will also be giveaways for two full, four-year scholarships for any institution in the state to eligible students ages 12 to 25. The state will further give away $1 million for five weeks in a row. On Aug. 4, one person will win a grand prize of $1.58 million, and a runner-up will win $588,000. Justice said that to be eligible, all residents need to do is get their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. Anyone who has already been vaccinated is also eligible to win. Last week, Justice encouraged residents to get vaccinated for his bulldog, Babydog. “If you won't do it for your family, you've got to get vaccinated for Babydog,” he said. Also last week, the governor announced that young adults aged 16-35 were eligible for a savings bond or $100 gift card through the state government when they are vaccinated. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 That's me with a creamy German fluid inside me courtesy of a 3 inch prick. Open the pubs, open the stadiums, open my legs. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Got notice of my 2nd jag for the start of next month, which will be around 8 weeks since the first one. Glad they’re getting a move on with these things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now at the time, I was told it would be 12 weeks until 2nd, no more and no less. I know that England have pulled the 2nd jag strategy forward but there's nothing came out here that we were doing the same. Also a lot of people, including my partner, haven't even had word of their 2ns jag despite being older than me and getting their 1st jag 3 weeks before I did. It's all a bit bizarre. My mum got her second jag a few weeks ago and it was 8 weeks to the day and minute since her first one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Forgot to add, my GP surgery had queues round the corner of folk in their 30's waiting to go in. Saw an old schoolmate I hadn't seen for about 15 years too. Lovely stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thereisalight.. Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 3 hours ago, Elric said: Sturgeon has asked for furlough to be kept as long as necessary. Why? We are never going to get back to normal as long as businesses do not reopen because they can claim furlough for the workers. Does this mean she is going to impose further restrictions on the hospitality and entertainment sectors? I guarantee there would have been more demands for action and normality had furlough ended months ago. Folk dont really give a shit about an end of restrictions if they're still getting paid and they can watch Netflix and get takeaways every day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If folk dont want the vaccine that should be their choice and their consequences. Bribing them with donuts and guns is fcking hideous 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had my first doze and support vaccination but if its ok for the politicians to say 'We JuSt DoNt KnOw!' regarding the VaRiAnTz then it's fair game for someone reluctant to get vaccinated for the same reason. All IMO of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In much the same way as there are far more who believe anyone in reciept of benefits is a workshy cheat, than there are actual workshy benefit cheats. Being stuck at home all the time will undoubtedly suit some, but many will be finding it very difficult, and even a quick look on this forum shows that a significant proportion of people do want to get back to the office to some extent, even if not on a full time basis. The "getting paid to sit at home" argument also ignores that many people, who may have had finely balanced finances beforehand, will be paid often significantly less and will be struggling, as well as worrying about having a job to go back to. TL:DR I think that it is more of a perception than reality, and as you do, hope that is less than it sounds. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
