I am beginning to think your capacity for misreading and misunderstanding demands compassion rather than condemnation.

I have not stated that anyone should not receive medical care. All I have said is that those who deliberately and selfishly decide to join the rest of us in trying to defeat a pandemic by getting vaccinated ought to be the ones at the back of the queue for certain NHS services. We don't have limitless resources and there are already long waits and the need to prioritise. When those are contributed to by the unvaccinated placing a greater demand on the NHS than the vaccinated because of their "informed" decision I want them informed that they will have to wait longer than those who did get vaccinated. That's both fair, reasonable and logical. Not that there's a snowball's chance in hell of you understanding that.

What you think on masks truly doesn't matter at all. It was a thoroughly deserved snide response

By the way. Diplorable isn't a word. Deplorable is. Color is an Americanism. Colour is how we spell it here. You demonstrate your ignorance well enough with your attitudes, but you can easily avoid reinforcing it by using a spell checker.

So now you have a problem with my dyslexia? You really have sunken to new lows here.

And btw it's exactly what you are saying. Pure discrimination against someone who is unvaccinated. Why should an unvaccinated person not receive treatment over a vaccinated person who has a lifetime of smoking, achohol, drug abuse etc... Or even someone who was speeding well over the limit causes a car crash and kills people.

As I said you have no human compassion anymore. Absolutely disgraceful human being who only cares about themselves.

I don't think you understand! Basically I looked at the evidence presented to me. Or lack their of and made a completely informed and critical decision to not be vaccinated. Many people looked at the same evidence and decided they wanted to be vaccinated.

Absolutely nothing wrong with that. Regardless on whether I chose to be or not be vaccinated has absolutely no effect on you or anyone else. That is the science right there.

I provided you proof of the side effects from the NHS website. And you continue to dismiss these dangerous side effects? Why? And why should I risk a blood clot and heart issues for no reason at all.

Like I said if a scientist or government told you that jumping off a cliff was safe I am sure you would do it. Unless you asses the risk yourself and look down and decide oh wait actually this is very dangerous I am not going to jump. Again you ignore the facts to suit your own narrative.

Again I provided you proof and statistics to back my argument. I completely respect your decision to get vaccinated and I fully support you in doing so. I made a decision that beat suits my health and I am sure you did the same. So what's the problem here?


If that were true nobody, me included, would care a jot. Why on earth would we?

It isn't true, for all the reasons I have patiently explained but which you consistently ignore.

Likewise, the side effects. I am bored trying to explain why you are wrong, and I expect others were pages ago, but I will make one final attempt. You take a much bigger risk from getting a severe reaction to a Covid infection by remaining unvaccinated than ever you do from any potential side effects from the vaccines, blood clots and heart issues included.

Your "science" is bs. A few days ago you referenced something from the John Hopkins University, which is accepted by me, and just about everyone else as a trustworthy source. You though completely misinterpreted it, by claiming that the appalling mortality rates it revealed supported you, when the truth is that many are very bad. Here is something else from them. This time about the safety of the vaccines and the incidence of side effects, including blood clots, which has restricted the use of one. Try and be objective when you read this! This truly is science and it unequivocally supports vaccination.

Here is another, from the CDC, which is even more unequivocal. Just read the second page:-

You have been like a record on autoplay. Never anything new. Just the same old tune over and over. I live in hope that when you actually read the science you will change your tune.

People with dyslexia aren't disabled. They are as capable as any other of using a spell checker and even more in need of doing so.

We can have a reasonable discussion about how to order the queue. With the non-smoking, tee-total, drug free safe driving vaccinated at the top and the smoking, alcoholic, drug abusing speeding unvaccinated at the bottom. I suggest a points system.

I care a lot about others. Do you think I would be writing this if I didn't? I want others to be safe, you included.

In regards to my spelling Come on! You are better than than that! Stop lowering yourself to being petty.

I want you to be safe too! At the end of the day I completely respect your opinion. You are correct to get the vaccine if you feel like you need to and it protects you. I'm sure you have looked at the information and decided yourself.

I have also looked at the information and decided for the benefit of my health I do not need it. I made a completely informed decision that only affects myself. That should be the end of discussion should it not be?

As a decent human being one should never discrimate against someone. Which is what you are doing here. Discriminating against unvaccinated people over vaccinated people. If two people are in a car crash together both severely injured the same amount you would discriminate against the unvaccinated person? Or someone who has cancer and needs treatment. It's a simple yes or no answer a bit like when I asked is blood clot or heart inflammation a serious issue or not.

Wow! If I ever needed more proof that my informed decision to not be vaccinated was right you just gave it to me. The list of side effects is even worse than I previously thought!

Anyways! 3 years on and unvaccinated and I have not died. Blimey!

You obviously don't realise it, but you have just proved my point.

You don't read, or use, the science. There were 33 minutes between my post, providing two lengthy scientific articles, and your response. During which time you also wrote another response.

It's impossible that you studied the information they contained and then took the time to consider its implications.

Not only was there no time, your stupid comment about the side effects proves it in spades. Just because a side effect exists doesn't mean you need be concerned about it.

Your real concern ought to be about getting infected, suffering badly and using NHS resources you could have avoided.

That's what the kind and compassionate do for others. The selfish do their own thing because they think they know best, when the truth is they are inconsiderate bsh*tters.

I think I am done with you and this. There are always some like you. Just like a turd on a footpath the only thing to do is hold your nose and try to avoid it.

Since vaccination is only effective for 6 months why are boosters only being offered to

adults aged 75 years and over
residents in a care home for older adults
individuals aged 5 years and over who are immunosuppressed

Yeah resort to insults. That is all you can muster. You have clearly lost the argument. I have read what you provided previously. Not just tonight.

Anyways I looked at the information provided and deemed for my own health that I did not need the covid vaccination. I am well within my rights to choose what to put into my own body. My decision doesn't not affect anyone else.

And 3 years I have not died from covid. What a miracle that must be over a deadly deadly virus I am still completely healthy.......snooze snooze snooze

The vaccinations offer protection against severe disease for much longer than that. I believe the boosters have been modified to deal with the prevalent variant, so are targeted at those most at risk. Much like the flu vaccine. Maybe that's our future. Yearly flu and covid vaccinations for the vulnerable and less frequent covid for everyone else.

I resort to insults to try to shake you from your undeserved complacency and make you understand how selfish you are.

You might have been lucky, but that's a poor basis for any decision.

Once you resort to childish insults it's all over. Absolutely no need for it in an adult conversation. Why can't you respect my opinion like I completely respect yours? I don't insult you for taking the vaccine. Co my completely support your decision.

We both looked at the data, facts and proof and both made informed decisions to either get it or not get it. What's wrong with that?

And this thread highlights the entire issue of Covid. People believe they are absolutely right. You have conviction of your beliefs - good for you. If you aren't a troll I feel real sympathy for people in your world, as anyone who seems to have a different opinion to you - is then "educated" and dismissed if they don't conform.

My dad died of Covid - that gives me every right to be angry with what happened as he went before the vaccine and shielded. I also saw the damage that lockdown did to his health - and another two years of shielding would have finished him off anyway had he survived. Am I angry - no. Do I think all people who don't want the vaccine are selfish - no. I have an issue with people who only got it to travel for example, but if you stick to your beliefs and didn't vaccinate then that is your right to do so. We are not a totalitarian state thank God.

I also run my own accountancy practice and I saw the damage done to the economy up front and first hand. I had three weeks off in 2 years, and I know how difficult it has been. Interestingly working for me I have two people - one is a staunch anti-vaxxer and one is very pro. The former had an experience growing up - I don't agree necessarily with her stance, but I respect it - and that is what you lack on any subject - respect for other viewpoints.

I've also just had Covid myself for the 3rd time, and I'm fully vaccinated and boosted.

The dogmatisms of all sides is reflective of how society has been. It brought out the best in 80% of people and very worst in the other 20%. I read your posts on the other threads about Trump, Brexit, Immigration and I agree with you on some points and differ on others but I have to say your entire tone is lurches between patronising, arrogant, and self-serving. As I say if you are not a troll, then how about recognising other people have different experiences. I respect and applaud the fact you are financially comfortable, live in a beautiful part of the world and are clearly intelligent - more power to you but other people are running different races and their experiences are what shape them. I don't pretend I know what it is like to live in a ghetto but I was brought up in a rough town as the son of a copper.

The town itself is working class but surrounded by affluent villages. It's a huge eastern European influx into the area which is both good and bad for the area. The fact is the problems in this town and different to the ones that you face in Cornwall - but you don't seem to recognise that and just dismiss people who aren't as worldly wise as you.

Going slightly off topic - it's people like you WE that meant Brexit/Trump happened - people I think got sick of being patronised by those who viewed themselves as the smug elite- happy to lecture. I personally think Trump is a monkey in a suit, I wouldn't vote for him, but I understand why those who did.

And looping it back into Covid, Eaglesdare summed it up best

"Once you resort to childish insults it's all over. Absolutely no need for it in an adult conversation. Why can't you respect my opinion like I completely respect yours? I don't insult you for taking the vaccine. Co my completely support your decision

.We both looked at the data, facts and proof and both made informed decisions to either get it or not get it. What's wrong with that?"

Far more elegant than most of your contributions.
