For vaccination to work requires a herd immunity to be built up. I think uptake levels have been about 90%. More than enough for herd immunity plus those vulnerable and elderly will be safe. I really don’t care if some 20 or 30 year old who chooses not to have a vaccine gets a cough 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody should care who has been vaccinated. As long as you have then we shouldn’t worry about those who aren’t. Let them live with the consequences to themselves This is all well and good in a world where there are no ongoing restrictions on livelihoods or businesses. If people were allowed to go about their business without fear of restriction, then I'm sure most of us wouldn't give a monkeys whether a minority of folk are refusing to be vaccinated. However, the prospect of these moon-howlers and their shite actively holding us back from getting back to normal in order to protect them and their ignorance will quite justifiably stir up some negative emotions in people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folk who work for shit wages in a restaurant are probably quite happy not having to deal with wankers every day though and still get the money they need to pay bills. You can't just extrapolate your own circumstances or feelings across everyone else. Similarly, not everyone has a partner looking to burn a hole in their pocket. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-57314814More cause for concern IMO at the tail end of this article for those who want to WFH. Once again, I think a lot of people who have no idea about, or are dismissive of the need for a Union are well into the process of inviting the fox into the henhouse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Governments and decision makers should just let the anti vaxxers get on with it and get rid of restrictions. They were brought in to stop the nhs getting “overwhelmed” and to stop deaths. Neither is happening so there is no need for restrictions. Keeping them in place incase somebody who hasn’t had a vaccine gets a cough and has to lie low for a few days is a complete abuse of power. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man the barricades and pull down the shutters you just know what is going to happen again this autumn/winter. We should just chuck it all if thats the kinda shite shes hitting out with.

It's becoming increasingly clear restrictions are not going to be fully lifted until at least all adults are double dosed which will allegedly be done by end September. Given the travel news today and the furlough talk I really can't see any optimism for removal ahead of that. We can shout repeatedly about it but it has zero effect on the powers that be.

There is absolutely no justification for yet another lockdown. Vaccines are working and very few people are dying or getting seriously ill. As I said yesterday 5 million people could get covid but unless folk are dying or in ICU for it then they can’t have another lockdown. It just won’t happen 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 4 new deaths is unfortunate to see. But other than that, very high case numbers and no real change to hospital/ICU numbers so that's a positive. Vaccines at work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I’ve said repeatedly once the elderly and vulnerable were double dosed that should have been an end to restrictions.

I personally just leave my phone and laptop on the table and don’t bother looking at them unless on call, but appreciate that some people aren’t comfortable doing that or are pressured into checking it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ulysses Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Second dose of Pfizer scheduled for 30th of June - three days before my wedding. Side effects of the bold P are said to be pretty heavy. Hope they’re up and away within 48 hours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNU_Linux Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) Late 20's & got my first dose of Pfizer the other day via the magic blue letter received a day or a few days before they opened up the online registration. Nae side effects bar a bit of occasional discomfort in my arm. Raging I never got a lollipop for being a big brave boy & taking the jab with no issue.
