Coriv doesn't care what you used to do before it showed its ugly head. Its not bothered you used to like a drink, go to the football or for all those that have died from it catching it while at their place of work, even if they previously enjoyed the company of their work mates and the job itself, It just doesn't care. I certainly haven't said there is anything 'Trivial' about the present situation we are ALL in and if people can't get this in their heads and adjust accordingly we will see further cases and deaths. The attitude of 'Because we used to do something' its still alright to do it now is not only flawed but a dangerous one. Keep safe - adjust. Enforce your own restrictions. Well said - my own thoughts entirely. Far too much whinging and moaning instead of doing whatever is sensible to live with it until such time as science provides an answer. They say we came close to a nuclear war last year so it makes me wonder how the whingers would cope with that. A lot of the human race have had it so easy in recent years that they have gone soft. My respect is for past generations who showed us how to behave in times of hardship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
petemcewan 27 #1238 Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) Moving on. It looks like some vaccines will be in a multi-dose format. The person being vaccinated needs to be sure that both doses come from the same manufacturer. If the first comes from Moderna, then the second must also come from Moderna, and not from Pfizer or Astra-Zeneca. That way the doses can augment each other and not get into conflict--or worse, be inactive. Something to keep in mind -when that day arrives. Has the post inquiring about the London,"Covid is Fake " demo been taken down? Edited September 24, 2020 by petemcewan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

petemcewan 27 #1241 Posted September 24, 2020 Mellthebell No it wasn't yours I was referring too . It was a post about wanting to pay for a ride to a demo in London. Real Mac33 type stuff. It looks like it has been taken down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The We Do No Consent link that the user sent contains the words “end the fake pandemic.” Do you stand by what you just wrote?

It's a link to a video? The rally is titled "we do not consent", it's meant to be a gathering/demo of individuals who are objecting to some of the lockdown measures, as they are an attack on civil liberties, and, causing a great deal of harm which is not being properly taken into account. It will attract a variety of people, including some who deny the existence of covid- but the majority of attendees will know that covid does exist- they just believe it is not suffuciently serious to justify the harms of the lockdown/mask compulsion etc. Some may well acknowledge covid exists, but deny that it is a 'pandemic'.

petemcewan 27 #1244 Posted September 24, 2020 Onewheeldave. It's not my intention one iota to misrepresent anybody's view. I have every confidence in my own points of view and my ability to present them in a reasoned and thoughtful manner. It appears that you must have read the Post and formed your own opinion -which you are fully entitled to do. By extending my alleged misrepresentation to an inability to "back up "my views, is cheap. As we cannot find the Thread I'm going to leave it at that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

There is a fair amount of 'lunacy' going round in all directions, including some of the current measures that Boris has put in place, so I wouldn't just dismiss the 'We do not consent' brigade. They too have their point of view and some of it makes sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

As we cannot find the Thread I'm going to leave it at that. No you're right- I assumed the link in question was that provided by melttheball in the post following yours, and what I said was based on that. You're saying the link you meant was a different link, so I withdraw my statement that you were misrepresenting, and apologise for my misunderstanding. 1 minute ago, Arnold_Lane said: I hope you and Dave have a nice time at the rally. Now that IS misrepresenting me- I've no intention of attending the rally, nor do I agree with all the views of those who will attend, I'm simply against the aspects of the measures that are causing more harm than good, and, those that are damaging legitimate civil liberties.
