Sorry I must have missed them ditching "care more" nonsense like masks, vaccine passports and advising people to test themselves before going for Christmas dinner outside of this thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The remaining vaccine passports rules, for instance. Not a shred of evidence that they make a difference, people know that LFT’s aren’t really going to guarantee anything, but still we persist with the charade because they want to be seen to care or doing something. The tragic thing is, there’s a decent sized part of the population who put virtue signalling etc above substance, actually being a good c**t and so on. Leaders therefore play up to that sort of thing because it’s the kind of airy fairy pish which appeals to these people. Thing is I don't believe the Scottish Government are that cynical and while i agree with some of the concerns over vaccine passports i think they are slight compared to the harm caused by the unvaccinated getting infected, hospitalised and placing a burden on services. Not everyone is at it. Some people, like me for example, genuinely believe that things like masks are supported by decades of infection control research and clinical best practice. Because they are. Passports are more tricky and I accept quite a lot of the concerns about civil liberties but, in the round I'd rather the unvaccinated were strongly encouraged to get the jag and if it has to be that way, prevented from attending some high risk venues and events. In the same way we don't let folk drive without a seatbelt or ride a motorbike without a helmet. I'll get pelters for the seatbelt comparison but I'd just like to make it clear to the "main players" on here who will lose their minds at that comparison that they can suck my balls. -5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is that by "caring more" about a single virus which by and large is non problemtic in terms of symptoms or outcomes she has wreaked havoc on whole swathes of other illnesses and wider society in general. Virtue signalling politics at their very worst. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can argue, ineffectively in my opinion, about the impact of the virus now with such excellent vaccines and their uptake/delivery but to suggest covid is largely non problematic is barking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once they used the narrative that they care more for political points when we were in the teeth of it, it becomes more difficult to abandon the high ground as it crumbles under your feet at a later date....

Wee Bully Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I thought it couldn’t get worse, but hopefully we have now reached peak moonhowling.

Aladdin Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Wife's returned a positive PCR. Within an hour, she's had an email from the NHS offering a trial course of an antiviral and ivermectin Maybe all those wild pro-Trump anti-vaxxers were on to something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt anyone has repeated anything as many times as you and "moonhowling" at any SNP dissenter, but whatever man. We are both quite literally typing posts in the same thread, with one of us criticising others for...... typing posts in the thread. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
