Governments are too soft now to try and force anything through like that, they are too worried about losing voters for the next election. I do think they missed a trick with the latest restrictions though, get rid of this negative lateral flow test nonsense and just have Covid vaccination pass or nothing. Many people would then get the vaccine just to get into venues.
Never happening given the cash made from LFTs…

A friend of mine runs the ICU in Leeds LGI and I’ll pass on his message to you which is please get vaccinated and wear a mask. The horrors him and his colleagues see everyday are much worse on the unvaccinated. Please stay safe everyone. UTM!

The statistics quoted are often misleading to try and persuade people to have the jab, which is unhelpful.
But the very obvious statistic is when the hospitalisation and death rates are shown. You're 3 times more likely to be seriously ill without the vaccine.
I suppose if you're 20 then that isn't a huge difference, but at 80 it's huge. Either way, the vaccine does work and anybody claiming otherwise is as thick as pig excrement.

Ok so the vaccine does work, does protect people, its brilliant, that's perfect. I'm 29 have no pre-existing physical health conditions and have had and pretty easily survived covid. I've had a worse cold since. Given all of the above, why should I have 3 vaccinations?

If you've been infected and then get vaccinated, you'll have super duper protection against this (and probably most future) variants. Sounds like another win-win for me. If you manage to avoid catching it, you can't pass it on to somebody.

But the ‘protect others’ argument cuts no ice with the selfish. There’s no excuse now. There’s plenty of good information from reliable sources and they are still reluctant to do it.

It’s not often I agree with the corbynites on here but when it comes to omnicron I don’t think we can take any chances. Entry to BP should be a full vaccine passport, a PCR test 48 hours before kick off with Mask wearing also mandatory except when we get a corner so we can sing a short rendition of “mariners” Hopefully, that’s enough to keep us safe and allow the national league to continue.

That's the choice, isn't it? If people choose not to take it for that reason, then that's at least a reason that makes sense. Almost everybody who hasn't had it that I talk to says it doesn't work.

Considering cases are up in countries that do have vaccine passports I’m not sure I see the point in bringing them in. I’ve been double vaccinated but the sheer lack of choice people are beginning to have doesn’t sit right with me and stinks of something deeper.
As for this variant, it’s so far factually correct (according to numerous sources) that not one person has died from it so far, yet our government are already setting out ‘plan c’.

Not sure who the French will blame now…it’s been all the fault of the unvaccinated so far…
