Religion. Start to examine why you are on this earth.

Because you were the lucky sperm.

I am not saying they don't mate.
But I object to the tone of them and ordering people what to do every day, we didn't elect them. They have taken over too much.

We don't need to "elect them". We need to listen to them, otherwise we are arrogant fucking morons.

How’s it spiteful to the Chinese people?

And what has a Chinese vaccine being approved here got anything to do with "trusting the Chinese government"?

Anyway, the OP has made his views pretty clear on what he thinks of China through his other posts.

The long and the short of it is that any safe and effective vaccine should be embraced and encouraged regardless of where it's been developed. A wide range of vaccines is best route out of this for everyone everywhere.

Creating distrust towards any vaccine on an internet forum at a time where we need take up from everyone is dangerous and irresponsible. Any vaccines that are going to be offered here will have been approved for use here by us. That's all that matters.

Nah, you’re trying to do what others did last year when anyone dared to criticise the CCP, claiming it was down to some sort of racism against the Chinese.

Anything that comes out of that country is government rubber stamped, they’re a communist state, with some totally regulated capitalism thrown in to make them competitive.

Being wary of one of the most immoral governments on earth, that caused this pandemic by deceit, isn’t pushing distrust on to other vaccines, it’s very reasonable.

Just had my jab ( Pfizer). All well run and straight forward. They said 87% after 3 wks. Little sore in arm and neck but that may have nothing to do with the jab. Bit off putting being around so many people and the 15 min wait after shielding for 11 mths, but it all went as id hoped. Those people are real hero's volunteering to do that, great people.

They’ve announced on the government website that they’re reapplying the legislation to issue fines for a child for not attending school as of the 8th March.

Nice find, cheers pal

I dunno, maybe stopping people from dying and getting our lives back to normal is simply more important to some people than trying to spite people who live in another country.

they caused it, why do you think their help would be legitimate? Wouldn't trust them in the slightest.

Doesn’t mean schools are reopening though does it?

just a personal feeling and comment - when the spring gets warmer and the cases are crashing, plus the vaccinations and antibodies dominating the population, the restrictions will begin to be lifted in stages (probably from March to be honest). At some point over the summer we'll be allowed out for meals and into each other's houses.

As much as there are arguments for further restrictions in the autumn, in some form, i wouldnt be surprised if the general appetite and adherence to them absolutely crashes and burns. I'm just not sure people are willing to put up with it again. For better or worse.

If the vaccines prevent the majority of people that catch it getting seriously ill then there should be no restrictions. I think everyone would be in agreement that the virus is never going to fully go away, but if the numbers getting to the point of being hospitalised can be handled without overrunning the NHS then that’s fine. It just becomes another illness that we get.

That's missing what alcohol and drugs do. They relax people, often induce a feeling of happiness, numb pain and depression. It may be a short term fix and the side effects can be bad but a lot of people are done to death with most of those suggestions. The underlying mental torture of being denied love, warmth, human interaction, normality,hope it's ever going to end eventually saps even the strongest spirit in the end. A bottle of wine and some loud music dulls it all for a while.

Alcohol does not numb depression.
It exacerbates it.

It does but if you’re not depressed it’s fucking brilliant.

Clinical depression maybe. Perhaps my wording wasn't correct, by depression I meant feeling down about the whole situation. It certainly helps me for a few hours and I sleep better.

Professor Nadir Arber, who is based at Tel Aviv's Sourasky Medical Centre, said his experimental cancer drug EXO-CD24 is successfully treating serious symptoms of COVID-19 with an extraordinary 95% success rate.

"These are severe patients and they say 'Oh! we feel better! We feel more strength.' It was very encouraging," Professor Arber told Sky News.

EXO-CD24 is inexpensive, inhaled and must be administered once a day for five days.

It fights the cytokine storm, a severe immune overreaction responsible for many COVID-related deaths.

The professor said the results of the small trial were "encouraging" and "a wonderful feeling - almost like winning the derby in Manchester!"

Phased re-opening of schools will start in Wales and Scotland from 22 Feb onwards.

why the fuck anyone would accept China's help with this is beyond me.

Everyone has already accepted China's help whether you think you have or not. China were the 1st to Genome the virus which allowed the quicker creation of tests. China's hard lockdown bought the world 5 weeks to prep ( not that many did ).

Where have I said it was racist.

I've called out a poster who has said we shouldn't accept or trust a Chinese vaccine here because he's wrongly creating impression that it would be the Chinese government approving it. He also called it "accepting help from the chinese". It isn't help. It's would be a transaction. And if it happens it will because our government and our scientists believe that transaction will keep British people safe and help get our economy moving again. If he wants to argue that a Chinese vaccine isn't the correct choice for us then he should come up with some reasons that are based on facts.
