I wouldn't say some of the people here are that old but I heard a rumour the first lorry carrying the vaccines made a special scheduled stop at chrisd's house
Agreed that he is a retired nurse (and his doctorate is in education), so not a bona-fide "expert".
But he does seem to find out about interesting genuine scientific research which has not been otherwise disseminated to the general public by the media.
Does the fact he's not an expert make this research less credible? He's just the messenger, and he's pointing out stuff we ought to hear about.
Sunetra Gupta and Chris Whitty are real experts in this field, but I somehow trust them less. They both give me the impression that they will ignore/hide any data that doesn't fit their agenda.
I wonder if any of the three people thag said No would be ok to explain their reasoning?
I knew this question would come.
5g nanochips controlling me and then materialising me into a kill switch for a mass depopulation exercise.
Seriously, 30 years old, not overweight, haven’t had a flu or cold for years, get more than enough vitamins, well hydrated and not to mention I don’t even have an NHS number and wouldn’t be offered it if that’s how your contacted.
Unfortunately you didn’t include a not for a number of years option so I’m a No
That is a rational choice. it is all about benefit-risk. The national policy is that people at highest risk get priority, so it follows that people at much reduced risk are not a priority at all, indeed not even on the list, and you are one of those. Waiting to see what happens with the rollout is reasonable. The only probably snag will be if you want to go on holiday overseas and the country concerned demands a certificate of vaccination to let you in.
Ok, fair enough. I wasn't thinking it through.The anti-vaxxers will still bung up the NHS as karma visits them, causing disruption for other people with non-Cvid conditions.
Perhaps the anti-vaxxers should receive treatment, but only with homeopathic remedies.Ok, fair enough. I wasn't thinking it through.
But somehow, I think they should reap what they sow (but in accordance with the principle that they don't affect "non-sowers" ? )
I saw someone on Facebook ranting about not getting a vaccine due to safety reasons. I pointed out she doesn't wear a mask, ignored lockdown, eats absolute garbage, sniffs coke laced with rat poison and gets a mobile lash lady to pump her face full of cheap filler, so can't be that bothered about safety. She countered with she was worried the government might want to track her
So you have no problem with getting the virus with virtually no symptoms and then infecting others?I am one.
I am, maybe at risk, being over 55, just. I am healthy, fit ish, have no under lying health conditions. I don't eat out much, I don't go to pubs, or socialise hugely.I don't go to many concerts, football games, or use public transport, or go anywhere else I am likely to contract this virus. The lock downs have been inconvenient, but really have not effected me hugely. I am not planning on going abroad any time soon, and my passport ran out last year. I don't like flying anyway. Too many people.
My wife works from home, and is pretty much in the same boat as me.
I go to work, but there is a rigid policy re covid. It's pretty safe.
I am not registered with a GP, can't see the point, have seen a doctor twice in the last 20 years.
Vaccinations have two purposes. To prevent spread in the community, and to may be stop vulnerable people from getting a nasty illness. I am probably not vulnerable, and if enough vulnerable people have the vacine, I probably don't need it.
I have had the flu jab twice in 55 years. I have caught flu twice also, although clearly not connected.
My job as present would not require me to have the vaccine, neither would my preferred mode of transport, car.

Assuming you were born in UK, I would not thought it possible not to have a NHS number.
I’ve since more or less gave up and gone private and buy my meds online.
All the way from the far east!
When did I say this?
I have avoided getting this virus (unless I have already had it), doing exactly what I would normally do, for the best part of 8 months. Nothing that I would normally do will change. Why do you think I will suddenly get it, and give it to others? Especially if a significant proportion of the others are vaccinated against it? Given that those vaccinated are less likely to have it, my chances of getting it go from remote, to extremely remote.
To be fair vaccines are the nearest thing there is to a homeopathic remedy that truly works.Perhaps the anti-vaxxers should receive treatment, but only with homeopathic remedies.
