You’re not getting vaccinated for your own benefit, but for everyone else’s benefit. Oh, a sneaky covid thread.  That's a very altruistic view of society.  Did anyone actually have a moments thought about other people when taking the jab? A fair few of them wanted to go on holiday, go to a club, or carry on their careers without getting the sack.  The idea that it's selfish not to is a lovely bit of coercive propaganda. The number of triple jabbed MP's currently isolating should at the very least trigger some questions about the narrative that we've been bludgeoned with for the last 12 months. The vaccinated can catch and spread the virus.  Edited February 1, 2022 by fools Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

You’re not getting vaccinated for your own benefit, but for everyone else’s benefit. These 10% are happy for everyone else (well, most people) to get vaccinated but not risk vaccination themselves?  Wonder if they would they be happy for everyone to just think of themselves and for no one to get vaccinated? You mean those selfish workers who during the early days of the pandemic put themselves in harm's way looking after sick Covid people in ill equipped hospitals and homes, before there was a vaccine? And without even proper PPE to protect themselves, so that a disproportionate number of health workers died of the disease?  Yeah let's clap for them, give them a piddling pay rise and then sack them.......  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

What if we all decided to opt out, is that okay, or is it just okay for NHS workers to opt out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

No, they'rehappy for those who want to get vaccinated to get vaccinated; they're not happy for those who choose not to get vaccinated to be forced to get vaccinated- they are pro choice and anti coercion.   1 hour ago, Waldo said:   Are you 100% okay with health workers not being vaccinated? I am. 1 hour ago, Waldo said:  What if they all decided to opt out?     They won't all decide to opt out- the majority want the vaccine.

It's too late anyway, the majority of the public have already had the vaccine. As far as I'm concerned no one should be forced to have the covid vaccination. Omicron is far too harmless to justify such a degredation of civil liberty.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
