Are you saying you do like to be advised by some of the most corrupt, flesh crawling, self serving individuals ever to walk the earth?  If they are so concerned about your health why are they happy to let poverty, hunger, homelessness etc etc etc increase on a daily basis? You've asked that question before and I've answered. 1 minute ago, top4718 said: "An observational study of school Covid absences from a group of schools with face masks in use and a group without showed only a 0.6% difference"  If we're following the science these ridiculous dehumanising things should be scrapped with immediate effect. What study, which schools, which source?      Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

There are certain points to his arguments but hopefully without being patronising they’re not alway well put.  there’s no doubt vaccinated people are transferring the virus to each other - so the benefit to having a vaccine is you’re less likely to get seriously ill.  so moaning about people who aren’t vaccinated is pointless really - it’s their choice.  the next argument would be what about the pressure on the nhs for the unvaccinated…..  but that is for the nhs to sort out - same as the other pressures it encounters from people lifestyle choices.

The main benefit from the vaccine is the avoidance of serious illness, I agree.  But, the vaccines also cut transmission. You are less likely to get infected if vaccinated, and you are ill for less time. Both of those things supress transmission.  My main objection to Tops is his total rejection of all mitigating factors to do with covid. Masks, vaccines, distancing are all helpful. Most people recognise that and do their bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
