Succinctly put. Jeez imagine being that paranoid that to go down to your local Waitrose you need to wear a Hazmat suit & disinfect the door handle before entering all the time weeping like a baby that the person next you buying organic quinoa isn't wearing a Disney themed face mask. GET A LIFE !!
Mask up (if you want)
Vaccinate (If you want)
Get boosters (if you want)

Infect everyone else. (what we don't want).

No man is an island.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

Why? If we are that concerned about variants developing among unvaccinated people in other countries how will this ever end?
If you want to wear a mask then go ahead but in Scotland we don’t have the choice.

Ah, your posts are frequent proof that you have plenty of pride left over from any NHS contributions.

I have sympathy for every single person who took a vaccine because they were either manipulated into it by their employer or from the state by lying to them.....that would include many professionals working in the NHS.

For those that took them freely I have no criticism as personal choice is how it should be.....and indeed, how it probably will be going forward once a year and probably paid for anyone not deemed vulnerable.

There is much to uncover over the coming months and years over the vaccines and how lockdowns and how policies came about. There are many questions and the answers are a long way from being provided. The unquestioning and meek and mild can just continue hitting their pans together....However the more sceptical will remain interested.

Fine. I doubt most agreed with the NHS mandates anyway considering how necessary their role is. They were likely just perplexed about their decision in a caring profession, which at the time (especially a year+ ago) was demonstrated to significantly dent a person's chances of both contracting and spreading a more serious version of this virus.

Do you also have sympathy for those talked into not having the vaccine by 'i know my body' types, who then ended up dying due to their decision? They certainly would appear to outnumber those who had side effects from the several billion doses. Or perhaps sympathy for the unvacinnated in intensive care who staggeringly manage to outnumber vaccinated even at a time where the vast majority of people are vaccinated? Or does that just not matter because it's their (uninformed) choice?

People have also died from the vaccine, perhaps that's a much smaller number but it happened.....they were most definitely talked into it by governmental and media propaganda...A recommendation is one thing but shouldn't choice and personal responsibility for your own actions be stressed.....I mean, the drug companies made sure that personal responsibility couldn't be placed onto them.

I believe I've made my position clear on this. It's essentially no different to the Brexit debate. All opinion deserved to be heard that was civil.

Vaccines had governmental approval, that's a powerful message. Those who were against vaccines actually represented a small minority. They were there and could have been debated...a much much louder group where those around covid policies, media control, mandates and restrictions. Everyone was there to be debated....yet mainstream media both broadcast and press acted as an arm of the government.

What should be made clear is that we are not a nanny state and that adults must....repeat must be responsible for their own actions and decisions. I am very against the charge that the state is your keeper....helper where it can...yes.

I'm for a society that is taught that clearly and not for one that gives false impressions of certainty and reliance in a world that can't actually provide much when it comes down to it.
