We were told freedom after being double vaccinated. I'm not playing this game anymore.

It's their fucking choice, so why let it bother you?? It's not their choice though when they are shrieking for it to be enforced by law and taking pictures of strangers to grass them into Scotrail. If someone wants to walk around with a FFP2 mask then they're fully entitled to do so. They're not entitled to impose their OCD on others because that's not how a free society works. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You absolutely wouldn't be getting that impression from the last few days if paying attention to our press is anything to go by. Complete fear porn punctuated by almost petted lipped caveat that they've been forced to put in at the end saying 'it doesn't necessarily mean more deadly, though' 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utterly irrelevant. According to some posters on here in the last couple of days we should be shiting ourselves about Ebola as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTee Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 For the potential catastrophe we could be facing, that J Van Tam football analogy doesn't seem proportionate for someone in his position. Clearly rehearsed as well. JL would get a torrent on here for something similar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why must they speak to us like idiots, yet expect people to behave like adults? As an aside, however, whilst watching the clip I spotted that immunocompromised people will be offered a 4th dose. Sorry, what? I literally had my third dose 3 weeks ago. If the vaccines work, then I surely do not need a fourth dose anytime soon and, if they don't work, then what is the point? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williemillersmoustache Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I agree that much of the press coverage has been abysmal (SHITE ABOUT SAVING XMAS) but, if you listen to what most of the CMO's/CSO's and political leaders are saying I don't see the panic or posturing. The variant has on paper reasons to cause concern, it warrants enhanced monitoring and governments have on advice decided to take precautionary measures until they know more. Now if you have already decided NPI's are a waste of time then I can understand why you'd be raging but there are plenty of people, qualified to advise on this and not who disagree. What may well rip the most knitting on here is that even if Omicron turns out to be less dangerous or similar to Delta, taking precautions will still have been the right decision. Because that what precautionary means. As an aside I know someone who has an immune disease who has had 4 jags now, I've just had my 3rd pfizer boost + flu (felt fine after but maybe wouldn't recommend getting both in the same arm as it was pretty sore for 48 hours) and I imagine this will over time become a single annual dose for most folks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if we stop wasting vaccines by boosting the immunity of those that already have some immunity in the west while letting the virus transmit unchecked in the East and global south. But that depends if anyone wants the pandemic to end, just now I would say China and the EU, although they classically take with one hand and give with the other, seem to be the only governments looking at serious help beyond their borders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be very surprised if passports are not extended ‘as the only alternative to lockdown to keep people safe’. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
