Do they not read what they send out to parents!?!?

[FlemCandango]

This anti Vax bollox was sent round to all parents of my child's school today. See photo.

I am struggling to understand why and how this happened! They have sent round a new email to say ignore the previous. But really poor show from the school 🤦

This is exactly what's happening with sex education at the moment too. Organisations that look plausible are creating materials that are harmful (like those sexual position dice) and schools are falling for it without reading anything.

[quote NumberTheory]@DumplingsAndStew

How many school secretaries, clerical officers or receptionists do you have teaching at your school?

No school should be leaving a decision on whether to forward a form to all parents to their secretaries, clerical officers or receptionists. That would be an appalling communications policy for any institution.[/quote]
Quite. But it's certainly not the teaching staff who are tasked with reading and sending out information either.

[quote Droite]@DumplingsAndStew, why on earth do you assume that schools leave the responsibility for sending out information to parents solely to secretaries, clerical officers or receptionists? That would be grossly irresponsible.[/quote]
Why do you assume its left to teaching staff?

@Takingabreakagain

They've provided some facts to you so you can properly assess the situation and make an informed decision. I can't see how that is anti vaccination

They are opinions, not facts

@MrsTesfaye

Well I agree with it! No way I'm having the vaccine, or my kids. Its good that they are making people aware of the risks, finally.

Oh for goodness sake! 🤦🏼‍♀️ It's people like this ⬆️ who are the reason we're still in this mess!!! Virologist are we?!?!

Yeah yeah, of course it is love.

@MrsTesfaye

Have you done your own research on the vaccine as you're so certain?

Only because when I've spoken to anyone anti vax they've just said 'do your own research' or called me one of the 'sheeple'.

They've never seemed willing or able to share their data sources confidently despite me being open to all information.

@MrsTesfaye - are you a doctor or virologist?

They obviously didn’t read it!

Both

😂

And according to my extensive research all of you who had the clot shot, are screwed 🤣

@MrsTesfaye

And according to my extensive research all of you who had the clot shot, are screwed 🤣

So I can add memes to my list of responses from anti vaxxers, along with calling others 'sheeple' or saying ' do your own research.'

Why isn't anyone who thinks people are mad to get the vaccine willing to share their actual reasons why?

Don't you want to share the knowledge that supports your decision, so that less people are negatively affected by the vaccine that you think is either ineffective or dangerous?

Because when you refuse to share any sources or research, instead being defensive and / or sharing memes, it just sounds like you are listening to what anti vaxxers have told you and believed it without question - exactly the thing you accuse other people of doing when they listen to the government or virologists. Which would make you 'sheeple' as much as anyone else.

Anyway, as suspected you didn't have any research / data / anything to support your reasons for being against the vaccination. It just would have been refreshing and informative if you had.

One of the easiest to spot anti vaxxers @MrsTesfaye.

I dont care what anyone thinks and I don't need to justify myself or my choices. I don't want the clot shot, I'd rather get corona again.

simple

Sounds like those voting leave over Brexit. Can never articulate why.

I could in real life I just CBA to write long messages on here, cos you know, I have a life.

You don't have to justify, no.

You just don't sound very clued up on why you made that decision when you aren't able to articulate why or even share any links to sources.

Up to you if you want to sound like one of the anti vax sheeple spouting the same lines you've read on Facebook group echo chambers instead of actually engaging with people like a normal person 🤷🏻‍♀️

This is like anti vax bingo now 😂

If you really understood your reasons for not getting the vaccine, you'd be able to share them.

You don't, and thats your prerogative. It just makes you look silly that's all.

I dont mind looking silly or dumb, it's fine

Just got it from my kids secondary followed swiftly by a retraction!

@MrsTesfaye

I dont mind looking silly or dumb, it's fine

Phew, you're all good then 👍🏻

It's sad you are listening to an echo chamber and don't understand the choices you're making for your family but I appreciate you have the right to be uninformed yet call others sheeple.

Enjoy your day

I know I shouldn’t be but I’m seriously shocked that these people would go as far as creating fake material purporting to be from the NHS in order to hoax schools and parents.
