Quoteand let people die

one of the few certainty's in life is death why is everybody afraid of it

QuoteHaving seen the effect of losing two parents in as many week

3 grandparents and an uncle within a month, does that count?

As this thread - second one on this subject - once again gets dragged into the depths of madness ("Yes it would cost a lot of life's,but is that such a bad thing?"  ) mayhap some Superior Being will draw it to a rapid ending like the first.

I hope.

Quoteonce again gets dragged into the depths of madness

so having a different view is  madness.It seems around here if you dont agree with the general view on certain subjects your classed as a trouble maker

I am sorry, but I have to agree with Daffy - this is getting silly. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but I think the opinion should be given and then the subject dropped.

Quotepolio diphtheria and typhoid

Aren't those  bacterial diseases,not viruses.last time i looked covid was a virus and the way they attack the body is different

Polio is a virus. Dunno about the others. Point still stands. Let's give everyone polio then. It's only a few "life's".

Edit: I've reported the thread, lest idiocy be as infectious as the virus. Even I think this needs locking!

QuotePolio is a virus

so it is,and a bit more reading shows  natural immunity occurs

Which is an irrelevant point as natural immunity does not occur with Covid.

sorry for my wrong choice of words,infection of polio  can provide lifelong immunity against it,but like every virus,only to that particular strain

The initial idea ,herd immunity,not a  popular choice to some ,but the human body is designed to fight off virus's and develop its own immunity

The modus operandi of the vaccines is to trigger the body's immune system to develop that immunity without the devastating consequences of the virus itself...

Compare   it   with     your   car,   would   you   rush   out   and   buy   the   MK 1   version   or   wait   for   the   MK 3

To use that analogy, in terms of vaccine development here you're looking at the Mk1 Ford Focus, following and drawing on experience from the long tried and trusted Escort, not a Model T...

surprisingly i wont be rushing out  for multiple reasons
how longs it last?  "we don't know"
will it stop me passing on the virus? " we don't know"
side effects?  "no,well actually erm yea maybe 1 or 2 "
do's it actually work? we dont know "
whats the procedure if i have a bad reaction  that affects me for life? "tough, were immune from any come backs"

Entirely your prerogative to decline and I respect your right to make that choice, provided you show the same respect to others who chose differently.
Unfortunately the only way to answer some of your concerns is time and experience. Essentially yes, the first generation to be vaccinated are the guineapigs for their own grandchildren, but what is the alternative?

I think we've all had enough of this now so the subject is now closed.
