I’ve got a mate whose Arsenal fan who I normally take to the Etihad for our game against the Gooners. I didn’t bother this time because not only won’t he take the jabs but he’s discouraging others too. This is on the back of the guy having the virus 12 months ago and necessitating the rest of the volunteers to self isolate.For me, the characteristic that principally defines anti-vaxxers, isn’t their selfishness, as most of them genuinely believe they are doing the right thing; I t’s their supreme arrogance and stupidity.
They actually think they are better informed on the subject than the overwhelming majority of medical professionals (and by overwhelming, I would say over 95%) based on something they’ve read on the internet. And they are prepared to play cards with their lives off the back of it, with all the devastating consequences for those around them.
Arrogant, deluded, recalcitrant clowns.
It’s both comic and tragic in equal measure.
I’ve got a mate who lives in Bali who (for a short period) was sending me anti-vaxx propaganda, until I called an elderly anti-vaxx campaigner a stupid old ****, which seemed to do the trick, and I’ve not heard from him on the subject since. He is almost evangelical in his belief.I’ve got a mate whose Arsenal fan who I normally take to the Etihad for our game against the Gooners.

Spot on mate. Btw, I sorted a ticket for another Arsenal fan who hasn’t revived from the 5 nil mauling.I’ve got a mate who lives in Bali who (for a short period) was sending me anti-vaxx propaganda, until I called an elderly anti-vaxx campaigner a stupid old ****, which seemed to do the trick, and I’ve not heard from him on the subject since.

Why does a hairdresser from Nottingham (not knocking hairdressers from Nottingham btw) know more about the subject than my consultant radiologist brother?
It’s fucking madness.

I’m awaiting your scintillating contributionThis thread is being swamped by repeated posts about anti vaxxers dying. It’s getting very tedious now.
I regularly posted on this thread and I still read it for the excellent Healdplace updates but generally it has become a boring anti vaxxer fest. I’m fully vaccinated and believe all eligible people should take it up but there only so many of these stories you can take.I’m awaiting your scintillating contribution
I quite like a bit of schadenfreude when the people involved have shared their warped views to anyone who would listen and have likely been partly responsible for the pandemic continuing at its current level.I regularly posted on this thread and I still read it for the excellent Healdplace updates but generally it has become a boring anti vaxxer fest.
