Fair point. I was curious who your avatar was and why you chose it so I googled it and this came up first. Maybe best to vary it a bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea of the government being able to coerce us into taking this vaccine doesn't sit easy with me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poor wee guy, whoever he is... This thread seems to have taken a turn for the worse. My only point is that people shouldn't be coerced into taking the vaccine, but it's now taking a sinister turn. I fear the vaxxed v unvaxxed debate will become like the indy referendum or Brexit - neither of which I was particularly for or against, as it happens - and which became really unpleasant. My intention was just to defend the position that people should be able to decline a vaccine that was hastily produced to provide protection from a virus that, in my age group, kills a fraction of 1% of the population. I wasn't aware that would be so controversial. Historically people have been lied to by their governments and there are numerous examples of that. But basically I'm pro-choice. Take it or leave it. There should be no coercion. If this board reflects Scottish society then I believe ~90% of you will have taken the vaccine, and that's your choice. If I succumb to the virus as a result of my scepticism, then that's on me. Merry Christmas to you all! It seems you're relatively new here.. same as myself! One thing I learned pretty quickly is that people accuse you of all sorts just for having an opinion that differs from the orthodoxy. These echo-chamber dwellers often don't understand that people can actually have substantive opinions that aren't the same as their own. Doesn't matter how polite you are in the face of constant sarcasm, abuse and bad manners, you'll have some who'll never engage in good faith never mind actually answer your points. It's strange because I don't come across these people in real life. Anyway, all the best! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe the vast majority need to be vaccinated against a virus that ordinarily kills fewer than 1% of the population. I'm certainly not denying that Covid exists, which is surely what you mean by 'denialism', however I do believe the threat it poses to the public has been exaggerated. I believe attributing deaths to Covid merely because the deceased tested positive within the previous 28 days will have inflated the figures, and is disingenuous. How would you explain the Japanese figures? I believe that many western governments are corrupt, or are keen to implement lockdowns to further the environmental agenda and the transition to the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which otherwise will have been quite difficult. People and businesses are now getting used to working from home, for example. https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2016/01/the-fourth-industrial-revolution-what-it-means-and-how-to-respond/ "Never let a good crisis go to waste" - Churchill. Top points, especially about the threat having been exaggerated. Figures of people dying with COVID are simply not the same as dying from it. It has been talked up beyond belief. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I disagree with anti-vaxxers (and I very strongly do), I would rather live amongst them than live amongst moral high grounders. The reason for that is quite simple. The former want to leave me the f**k alone and ask that I do otherwise. I respect that in a human. The latter can't stop their impulsive need to stick their noses into everyone else's business and control others. They are obsessed with the idea that only they know what's best for everyone and instantly judge others by the standards they've taken it upon themselves to write "for our benefit". They hide their control freakery behind the cliche - "the greater good". It's snivelling, sneaky, cowardly behaviour and those who engage in it are OFTW. These control freaks are just absolutely insufferable to live and work alongside. I can't imagine they're much fun to drink with either TBH. Except they aren't, they are not on the high ground, they are on the ground grounded. This is like pitching Nigel Lawson against a rational and objective expert on climate change and giving them equal air.

Granny Danger Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 If the anti-vaxxers are correct then maybe all of us who have been inoculated will die. This will leave a society populated solely by anti-vaxxers and the ‘vaccine hesitant’. That would be a fun society. I wonder if they would intermingle or split into two tribes as the social and physical structure disintegrates around them. There’s a screenplay in there somewhere. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
