The Moonster Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 16 hours ago, strichener said: The fact that uptake is lower in the BAME community is through choice, unless you are suggesting that we are racially discriminating in who we are providing the vaccine to. Your confusing two issues here, probably deliberately. Conveniently ignoring why people in the BAME community are more likely to choose not to take a vaccine. 12 hours ago, oaksoft said: If you want a sensible discussion with me, and I've no problem with that, drop this patronising nonsense bud. You have absolutely no self awareness, you're probably the most patronising guy on this site. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, each AND every reason? A reasonable request.

Left Back Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 NHS Grampian has decided to rattle through all adults in Moray to halt the spread of the outbreak. Bit of a poke in the eye for those that claim vaccination doesn't stop transmission when a health board are going to use it for exactly that purpose. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-57014153 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest in part possibly because of their willingness to get back to a normal life? Will be interesting to see how the Scottish election goes and will the SNP take a dent for similar reasons. For the avoidance of doubt, I'm no Tory. But I think people are now just desperate to get back to normal. It won’t make any difference at all. SNP will win by a landslide and possibly win even more seats than they have already. People can complain all they want about restrictions but so many people I know think NS has done a great job throught all of this of “keeping us safe”. The SNP candidates could cough in folks faces and still get voted in, that’s how much the other parties are hated/indifference in Scotland 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munter Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Have my 1st shot today so looking forward to joining the club and celebrating with a beer or two later. Anyone know what the state of play is at the Caird Hall? My wife has her date next week, but am thinking it might be worth her joining me to see if she can’t get done at the same time given the amount of no shows reported. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 7 days since so the virus could still be incubating, but promising none the less. Of course they tested negative. Everybody was tested before hand (all negative) so why they thought it would be a situation where two negatives make a positive is beyond me. The most pointless exercise (testing 7 days after it) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a hint at the Cup Final being mobed from Hampden to also allow fans?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An utter bin of a place. The Mosset is pretty good. It's in a lovely spot next to the duck pond and a 2 minute walk to the football ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also aware of the unethical practices carried out on white citizens in the past. Are you seriously suggesting that BAME community members are sitting at home refusing to go for a vaccine as they believe that it may be a scientific experiment that will somehow only be harmful to non-whites? The BAME community was for some reason affected by COVID disproportionetly, their reluctance to be vaccinated is illogical. In the context on it being racist to discriminate on the basis of vaccination status, I'll file that in the batshit mental category. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtie78 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Pleasantly surprised to see fans in at the play-offs, hopefully the teams push for as many fans as possible and normal conditions by the time we restart. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 U40s to be offered an alternative to AZ is bound to cause issues especially if a fair % of the alternative is Pfizer which is nigh on impossible to store for the vast majority of mass vaccination venues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 In the event that we shitfest through on penalties to the final it would be absolutely ridiculous to have a 500 fan limit at Cappielow. You could fit in 1000 distanced in the Wee Dublin End alone in a completely open space. Whether there's any demand to watch our turgid drivel of a team slither along is another matter of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to pretend that white people and BAME people have had equal treatment through our health services historically then I guess we'll just leave this here. You can file it in any category you want, it doesn't mean you are correct. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 The Icelandic health minister was on Sky News this morning saying how they're simply not bothered about testing vaccinated travellers, and nor are they concerned by 'variants', clearly all because of understanding how to quantify risk. Quite possibly the most level headed and pragmatic decision making seen for a long time. I'm sure the rest of Europe will catch-up before too long... Also highly ironic considering Sridhar and other #ZeroCovid nutters seem to like citing Iceland as an example. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
