No it isn't. Between elections we have to accept everything they say and do,including accepting them being economical with the truth since it's in our best interests. That though is an integral requirement of our form of democracy. Our role starts and finishes when we choose who represents us. If we decide they haven't done a good job, we change them.

Fair play to you. I like yourself made an informed decision based on the facts and science or lack there of at the time. I don't regret not taking it. And I'm sure you are the same. I have not met one person who regretted not taking it but I have met a lot of people who regret taking it. They came to their senses at least and did not take the booster. It seems to be a pandemic of the vaccinated at the moment. A friend of mine was very healthy and went on daily runs etc...then took the vax. Now he can barely do any exercise. He only got it because his gf forced him to get it so they could travel. Really sad. There are many though who don't just regret you and your kind taking this decision. They regard it as totally irresponsible and selfish and are appalled at the continuous circulation of misinformation on the internet. Those who point to "friends" with unfortunate sudden illnesses and then make the leap of assuming they are vaccine-related are just adding fuel to the fire. People get sick. A friend of mine was rushed to hospital with suspected meningitis yesterday. Was that because they had a booster recently? I have never encountered anyone as less informed than you who claims to be making informed decisions. You make decisions based on deeply held prejudices.

You forgot to mention Brexit, trump, Farage and conspiracy theory in your post.

That is sad. Being able to go abroad was the only reason I got the boosters since we were told travel would be very difficult without them. Got the app showing dates, etc and have never had to show it once. Don't be too hard on yourself. Honestly. There was so much coercion tactics and misinformation out there there that I don't blame anyone or hold it against anyone who got it. Alot of people got it for their mental health, to travel, peer pressure and other coercion tactics. It was psychological warfare at times.

Got the app showing dates, etc and have never had to show it once. I have had to show it every time I flew and before being allowed on board the cruise ship. I am cruising again in September, after my stay in Israel, and it’s a requirement that my vaccinations are up to date. For which I am thankful. I don’t want to spend a week with the unvaccinated.
