Covid vaccine

[Snowwolflair]

A lot of nurses during the pandemic have taken to just wearing scrubs and are stripping off and showring as they leave the wards.

I think doing that may be a dismissable offence

Very rarely drink, Joe, as it makes my heart race. Not good when you have an internal defibrillator!

I hope that you've managed to stop fantasizing about Elizabeth Hurley Mick 

Never, Joe. At least I'd go out with a big smile on my face

The Vaccine
We must get this message out to the Center for Disease Control and all labs!
Here's something we can all agree on.
1. The vaccine should be tested on politicians first.
2. If they survive, the vaccine is safe.
3. If they don't, the country is safe.

YOU CAN LEAD THEM TO HOLY WATER...

An ANU survey found people who are religious are more likely to resist being vaccinated against COVID-19.

A baffled bishop said, "I guess God Almighty creating a vaccine isn't miraculous enough."

Hi all,

So thought I would add my 2 pence  but avoid the political side of things (easier said than done).

I find the whole anti vax thing really well backwards if I was honest, I work with a gent who is shielding again due to underlying illnesses but has said out right he will not get the vaccine jab if/as/when it becomes available. Now what makes this perplexing is his argument which is basically "I don't know what trash they are injecting me with", which baffles me as he has to take daily medication for his underlying illnesses which by his own admission he doesn't have a clue what is in them all he knows is "they have stopped me from dropping dead so they must be working", now am I the only one who can see the irony in his thought process

But then I have challenged people on farcebook who have openly said they would refuse a vaccine, the general reply varies from tin hat stuff (better watch out for those 5g tracking bats) to the whole it's not natural, which the whole it's not natural thing makes me giggle a bit as well medicine isn't natural, I have yet to see an episode of blue planet where a pod of whales conduct a triple heart bypass in the waters off Alaska, but should these it's not natural people suffer a heart attack I bet they won't be declining unnatural hospital treatment.....

Then there is the "I am not having it you can't force me it's against my human rights"
Well yes we all have our basic human rights, but what about everyone else's human rights? Personally seeing how horrific this virus can be, I think if there is a vaccine to aid in protecting us out there, why should the human rights of these individuals trump mine or my families? As far as I am concerned if you don't want the vaccine fine don't get it but accept the reality of your choices which would in effect mean becoming a modern day leper, as you would potentially be a walking talking biological weapon.

To give a more pictorial idea of that, if you don't want to get the vaccine because it infringes YOUR human right over everyone else's right to life you may as well get a fire arm conceal it on yourself and have a random timer set, then when the time goes off pull the gun out and start firing at anyone around you, it could be complete strangers, it could be your family you could be completely on your own! Who knows but choosing not to have a vaccine and then integrate with society is basically doing exactly this!

It's the people who, posting from their mobile device, think they'll be injected with some kind of tracking chip who crack me up.

That'll be me, then

Ahh now I have proof that the Bill Gates conspiricy theory is 

Everyone knows after 3 months windows begins to slow down, by 6 months it freezes and after 12 months anything windows operated has crash at least twice!
So far none of that has happened so cant be anything to do with Bill Gates

The reason why people are against vaccines is they are too young to have experienced the horrors of deaths before vaccines.  I was told the stories of people's families and what happened to them in the 1800s and 1900s.
My dad, born 1912, was the sole survivor into early teens of 5 children. They died from childhood illnesses which are not prevalent or a concern today; thanks to vaccines.  Guy across the road had polio and was in an iron-lung, a school mate wore calipers on his legs, courtesy of polio.  My cousin had scarlet fever which cooked her brain (late 1940s), she had to learn to walk and get some manual skills back, managed to learn to sign her name in mid 1960s.  I remember some adults and kids suffering from tuberculosis.
As soon as vaccines were made available everyone had themselves and kids down to the doctors.  Never had anyone talking about not being vaccinated.  A few kids dying from complications was weighed against the many who died from the disease.  I never experienced the horrors my parents and relatives spoke about.
When I hear anti-vaccine talk I get kind of angry;  shouldn't really as it just another example that half the population has an IQ below average.

Biological weapon? Sounds more like mass hysteria than mass vaccination.

In any event, you don't need 100% coverage for a vaccine to be effective, so as long as there's not mass refusals, it's not really an issue.

That having been said, I seem to recall reports of recent (last year) outbreaks of measles because of the high number of refusals. I can't remember where, at the moment.

[daffy]

Thanks to all the scientists over my lifetime who have developed vaccines that have meant I have not had to suffer the horrors of polio, tetanus, measles, shingles, mumps, rubella and others including various strains of 'the flu',  and further for developing all those 'unnatural' products such as sanitisers, disinfectants, and all manner of drugs and medicines that have allowed me and those I love to live full lives.

When the vaccine for Covid is finally available, I will immediately join the queue as I have one wish for Christmas: I would like to be around to see my family around the Christmas table on December 25th 2021.

My Dad's in his early eighties, has never had a winter flu-jab and is in two minds about any Covid vaccine. He's already been told by his doctor that due to his age he'll be at the front of the queue as and when a vaccine becomes available.

He's never had flu-jab, and is reluctant simply because a friend of his had an adverse reaction to one winter flu-jab and was unwell for about 6 months afterwards. Whether or not it was the flu-vaccine that caused the problems is unknown but it's enough to make him think twice.

Reading Acko22's comments about human rights has confirmed my belief that with human rights come human responsibilities.

I've never had a flu jab, either. However, I do listen to doctors orders.

Ten years ago, I felt like death warmed up. Turned out I had iron overload.

I've been dumping blood ever since, which keeps my Iron under control. Got two before Christmas, actually!

Hi Folks,

I have been giving the CV19 vaccine a lot of thought recently.  My initial reaction was "I will wait" as all the science has been rushed and let's be frank, the scientists will not come out of this pandemic covered in glory.

Not that I am anti vaccination, both my daughters have had all their inoculations as like @NinOz the threat from the diseases seemed far worse.

So, in the interests of of our country, I have decided to accept the vaccine if/when it is offered to me.  This is very much a personal decision and I am in no way suggesting others should follow suit.

My thought process is that large swathes of mankind are in dire straits because of CV19 and I need to do my bit to move us past this disaster.

Kind regards

Paddy
