Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

Do you not believe all on here will have done that? They are not stupid and won’t need you to tell them!

Silly really that you even have to make a statement like that isn't it, but it's the way the threads been going for a while.

If you don't fall in line with the governments way thinking or their scientists views then you need re-educating and don't have a "balanced view.

I'd hope to be able to make a wide spread generalisation about people on here, that we all love our kids to the end and would do anything to protect them. We make informed decisions with the information we have available and take nothing lightly.

Unfortunately this thread has gone the way of the Brexit thread. Militant ideas intertwined with point scoring and belittling comments.

Some on here don't appear to be doing that based on probabilities and medical advice. Of course they don't need me to tell them, it would be much better if they listened carefully to the medical experts as I have previously suggested. As I have also mentioned and you seem to want to ignore, it's ultimately their decision.

That's so ironic.

Like Groundhog Day

Maybe it’s time to move on now and to potentially close the thread to allow that process to happen

Certainly getting like Groundhog Day with you and a few others posting that others shouldn't debate on this thread. Can't you just keep away from it if it offends you!

Bit like discussing Liverpool on the footie thread…

But you’re right, some subjects like how good masks might be came around for the nth time recently. There’s been several postings of scientific and technical links on the size of the virus and the size of the holes in a decent mask that all of the anti-maskers refuse to accept - guess they’re all called Karen.

The issue is any meaningful discussion and facts and info that some could provide get drowned out by you -in the exact same way with all the politics thread , we know your stance , every single day you point fingers at those that want to look at moving on and now it’s about people and their judgments towards their own children.

Your relentless attitude towards others ruined political discussions to the point it was banned - the same is happening here

Statistically perhaps. But I doubt any of their family or friends would feel the same!

I don't think anyone is belittling the death of those 3 children or any of the Covid deaths but the younger you get the less clear it is re. the vaccine and the risk of Covid itself.

The argument has generally been that whilst the new variant is less deadly a small number of a much larger number was still a considerable and likely to put the NHS under greater stretch etc. Very, very few children go into hospital so this argument isn't relevant as much and so to start suggesting that children are going to be the reason that grandma dies are, quite frankly, ridiculous. That's not aimed at you btw.

Twaddle!
It's ok for people to have views that align with your own but if they are contrary they are drowning out discussion. I post once on my view regarding children's vaccinations and you consider that's not meaningful discussion. People have posted their reasons for not having their children vaccinated, that's fine but they must be prepared to have them challenged on a forum.

As I suggested, if you don't like this thread then don't use it, your continual attempts at being sanctimonious is somewhat comical.

My daughter has had it twice , raised temp first time , but then a little running nose the second time. It’s already horrific for her to get the flu nasal spray

And whilst as adults we can make our own judgments I’m making a judgment for my daughter that she won’t be having the vaccine right now

I should hope it was simply 'badly worded'.

I agree that this goal has been achieved. Living with Covid is now/will become the strategy soon, if it's not already. Minimising spread, (especially) to the vulnerable should now be strategy. Vaccination of potential spreaders, especially in 'spreading' environments like schools should be a priority imo.

I'm not asking for the thread to be closed or suggesting people shouldn't have a contrary view to mine. I've also explained how ultimately it's up to the parents to decide on vaccinations. What's Pot and Kettle about that?

Maybe you should reread what you’ve posted towards those parents that have chosen not to have their children vaccinated. You come across as arrogant and superior in your attitude towards them.

Maybe you should reread what I've posted without bias. I've suggested it's important for parents to weigh the pros and cons of vaccination risk verses the risks of Covid. I've also said ultimately it's them that have to decide.

My view has been challenged by some which is fine and I've defended it. If you consider that as arrogant and superior then that's your prerogative but look at your own comments also.

I have reread your posts. Post 25,699, to name one, is arrogant. If you don’t like that assessment, tough.
