The JVCI are talking in those terms for kids. I seen someone on tv the other day saying it would wrong to vaccinate children purely for the benefit of others. Why cant young adults make that call for themselves too? Its a bit selfish IMO, but its certianly not "freeze them out of society" selfish, and certainly shouldnt be used as a reason to set a precedent for mandatory vaccination and health monitoring. I didn't say freeze them out of society I said boot them in the balls. FWIW I'm against govt vaccine passports and mandatory vaccination but I would be happy to tell any pal of mine what a p***k they were being if they didn't get one. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we are in agreement.... I might think you are a bit of a bam for not getting it, but I do not believe it should stop you from doing..... Anything really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 I'd be happy for businesses to set their own rules re proof of vaccine, once everyone's been offered a second jag, with those who can't get vaccinated for health reasons getting an honorary passport. I'm sure that c**t who runs Wetherspoons will welcome all the anti vaxxers and can't be arsed to his venues, so everybody's happy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted July 25, 2021 Author Share Posted July 25, 2021 I don’t really know how I feel about vaccine requirements. I think anti vaccine sentiment is overblown, as demonstrated by the huge uptake of the vaccines. Also, how do you differentiate between moon howling crazies and people who are unable to get vaccines for medical reasons? Do we just say to people who have conditions that prevent them getting vaccines “tough luck you can’t go to nightclubs / football matches / on holiday in the next few years?”As I posted earlier in the thread I went to a sports injury clinic and they asked me if I had been vaccinated. Just writing this post I recall that when I joined a gym for the first time they asked me to provide a doctors note saying I didn’t have heart problems, for which my GP charged me £20. I think it’s fairly understandable asking these questions but then should people who’ve had heart attacks not be allowed to join gyms? What if I couldn’t get the vaccine due to auto immune disease but hurt my back, should I not be allowed to get treated?The only logical conclusion is that we should execute all people with underlying health conditions. For too long they have ruined it for everyone else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paco Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 I’m not sure in the UK we’re making enough about the JCVI’s absolutely weird decision not to vaccinate all over 12’s. It’s happening on a global basis right now and will inevitably happen in the end here. Quite why we’re not using this sweet spot between not having many more over 18s to vaccinate and starting boosters for the old duffers is beyond me. I’m sure it’ll become headline news in October when the infection factories are spreading Covid around the place. It’s all very avoidable right now by simply aligning with international standards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in two minds about that, if we can get enough adults done to kill the thing off, so kids aren't necessary, we should be shipping the excess out to third world countries like New Zealand where they haven't even started on the 60-65s yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't care about other people. You care about yourself. That's hypocrisy right there. Secondly, you are attacking the wrong people. Unvaccinated people are not the reason for restrictions. The Scottish Government is responsible for that. If you're going to mouth off, it's probably best that you actually understand the root cause of your problem so that you aim at the right target. Your entire post is straight from the "How to be a Tory" book. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 40 minutes ago, Snafu said: Katie Hopkins - who just got refused entry to Australia for refusing to produce COVID-19 documentation Not quite the truth as she was in mandatory quarantine but had her visa cancelled for being a stupid c**t and deported. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-07-19/katie-hopkins-visa-cancelled-deported-channel-seven/100303648 Seems though she comes out of it ok as Endemol Shine, the production company behind Big Brother, has reportedly paid the Brit $200,000 as a result of a "pay or play" provision, which requires actors to be paid their full sum, even if their job is cancelled early. Channel 7 is also obligated to pay out almost $60,000 for travel expenses, which included business class airfares for the polarising star. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
