Gladys Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) 51 minutes ago, Danoo said: They give advice. They don't advocate for material consequences which some on here are talking about. I have a personal dog in this fight as I am vaccinated but my daughter isn't. She had COVID a few months ago and so has natural immunity and antibodies at present so doesn't feel she needs to rush out and get the jab. I don't treat her like a leper and can see her point of view. I don't feel she is being selfish and she isn't doing it with a couldn't care less attitude for others so I'm fine with it. That's fine, providing she doesn't complain about travel restrictions being placed on her as discriminatory. ETA and has the jab when offered.

Max Power Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Every family has that one creepy, embarrassing relative you only see at Christmas. Put them all together in London, and you’ve got an anti-lockdown protest. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 2 hours ago, Danoo said: In which case we need to have a fully comprehensive menu of lifestyle options, choices and consequences. Based on clear transparent medical evidence. If we are going to do it for one topic then we do it for all. Obesity. Alcohol. Cigarettes. Junk food. Drugs (both legal and illegal). Exercise frequency....the list could go on. some people smoke 50 a day and live into their 90's, some die at 40, we are all different, what affects you may not affect me 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people will get COVID and have nothing more than a mild headache. Others will end up in hospital because of poor lifestyle choices up to that date. Jab or no jab. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of places pre-COVID where proof of vaccination is needed. The French for all their anti-vax ways require all kids going to school to have vaccinations. No vaccination, no school. https://www.efe.com/efe/english/technology/france-makes-11-child-vaccines-compulsory-no-school/50000267-3480979 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From an infection control viewpoint why should you both be treated the same because you are not? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
