Coronavirus Vaccine Discussion

They are right. The whole argument for vaccines is to protect the most vulnerable and in western countries they are forcing the young to take it when other countries haven’t got enough for the most in need. How does that make sense?

Western governments are making a big deal about vaxxing 100 percent of people in their own country to stop variants developing in the unvaccinated, but leaving whole countries basically unvaccinated. How does that make sense? The variants can only develop in western unvaccinated people?

It is all about the money, money, money

They can close their borders to avoid the variants developed outside coming in. No need to worry.

Dr Ruchi Sinha, consultant paediatrician at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, told MPs and peers that choosing not to vaccinate children would be unlikely to cause problems in the health service.

“What matters is the burden of patient hospitalisation and critical care and actually there hasn’t been as much with this Delta variant,” she said. “They tend to be the children who have got their comorbidities, obesity, or severe neurological problems and those children are already considered for vaccination. COVID-19 on its own in paediatrics is not the problem.”

About the choice to vaccinate

A heavenly crusade probably.

I’d pay money for that, as long as they still tattooed the mark of the beast on my head afterwards.

Get vaxxed :+1:

These guys are really beginning to bore me.

If you make the decision not to get vaxxed, then grow a pair and live with the consequences. Stop whining about it after the event.

Get vaxxed, don’t get vaxxed. Free choice.

And how is it on the bbc?

Are the bbc going to the hospitals looking for these guys?

Hardly a Covid skeptic anyway. Felt he was healthy and didn’t need the vaccine.

My father in law was calling for a bible and asking for a priest to come to the hospital to get baptised after he had a stroke. Swore off cigarettes and everything. It did look like he wasn’t gonna make it. Slowly got better and that bible has not seen the light of day since. Back to smoking 40 a day too.

Me being a cynic (which I think is somewhat different to a skeptic) I suspect they trawl the hospitals looking for these people and paying them to say the right things. If you look at the government stats, people like this are still extreme outliers, despite “Delta”.

And in any case he ain’t dead. Most people who were reasonably healthy to start with walk out of hospital after a bout of COVID, so a key target for the government ought to be to stop playing silly buggers with the health service. Get them tooled up, sack 90% of the managers, and let the medics do what they’re paid to do. Given the level of corruption and graft that they indulged in during 2020 (see @cake’s post on the subject) I don’t hold out much hope.

I think it’s embarrassing. I’d be too ashamed to say anything if it were me. Make a decision and man up to it. Don’t whine if you get unlucky.

A payout might sweeten things, of course

I don’t think anyone needs to be ashamed of being unlucky, particularly if you keep in mind how the virus came to exist in the first place.

Ambulance-chasing journalists need a jolly good spanking, IMO. If they want to “support the NHS”, they could do worse than tell the public that 99%+ of 40-year-olds with no comorbidities who go into hospital with the lurgy come out again with no harm done, because doctors.

Taiwan isn’t the only one seeking extra Vaccines. Seems that Australia has sourced 1m Pfizer from Poland. Hard to say whether its manufactured there, or some sort of deal between Governments.
