COVID-19 — Coronavirus

Thank fuck the Internet wasn't around when they decided to iradicate smallpox that's all I can say.

Have you ever suffered a bad reaction to a "safe" vaccine?

 

[Tonster]

That is up to them.

Ok, how will you decide it’s safe then?

My wife is a senior director at a big pharma company, and she oversees clinical trials of vaccines. I asked her would she take it and she said no, giving the reason that It cannot possibly be tested in such a short timescale. Says it all really.

Oh really? So kids who already missed nearly eight months school can just like that miss another six until April?
Having two primary school children whose behaviour deteriorated throughout lockdown and could again get worse. Don’t underestimate the importance of social interaction for the kids, daily structure for their well being. And for many kids this is their safe haven, their only hot meal. Many single parent families already struggling to cope. Home schooling is difficult for a short period of time let alone extended for months. That’s why we have teachers, they’re experts. And many kids can’t learn on line without equipment or infrastructure to assist.

I agree. The mental health of my daughter has improved ten fold since September.

Not going over old ground again, this was done to death a few days back.

Humour me I missed it, genuinely interested on what that decision will be based on?

No, I will not humour me. If you knew my reasons, you would understand my position.

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

I said people have the right to satisfy themselves it is safe to take before doing so. And I maintain that position

and therefore not take it the first time round and increase the R number.

 

[Tonster]

No, I will not humour me. If you knew my reasons, you would understand my position.

Fair enough. I was trying to understand your position, that’s why I was asking

 

[Elbow beards]

No

Just took the time to read back last few days posts. Sorry for what happened to you. No malice was intended. Was genuinely interested to see how people will be able to decide if somethings safe other than waiting for a long time

If they can get the vaccine rollout moving around 1st Dec

Surely it would make sense to rejig the school calendar a bit, not losing any teaching time but moving school holidays.

Plan is apparently to have all the over 50's vaccinated by Easter, move some school holidays around so that kids are in as little as possible over Dec & Jan? Furlough runs till March so most parents don't have to worry about time off.

The Gov were prepared to absolutely blow up the economy to slow the spread, surely some holidays can be moved.

I can't honestly complain about the content of a vaccine when myself and some pals spent a good portion of uni hammering easily bought "research chemicals" into our bodies for a laugh. Did it without a second thought.

They need to do something with easing pressure on schools.

Budget, staff illness/isolation, staff deaths, burn out. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to effectively manage in a lot of schools.

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

I’ve not suggested anything like that

sorry i got the distinct impression that you were saying the level of disruption wasnt that bad for schools. Its been really bad imo.

 

[kaz7]

Trust me, it is a badge of honour for some folks. And the fact they needed to be tested to know they even got it says it all

Thought you were banned for wumming

Poor assumption there bud. Not sure why you are being confrontational today.

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

Dont worry, he is in a confrontational mood today.

Just because I point out the irony in you not wanting to take the vaccine and then moaning about the R number going up due to lockdown not working doesnt mean im confrontational.

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

Poor assumption there bud. Not sure why you are being confrontational today.

Its not an asumption. You said you wouldnt take the vaccine first time arround even knowing all the problems that would create for others by prolonging the pandemic.

Have you changed your mind now? are you willing to take it first time round?

He's got reasons. Leave him the fuck be.
