Covid
Anyone else wondering what anti-vaxxers will do.....

If and when they find a vaccine for Coronavirus. Isn’t this just the sort of thing to demonstrate what happens when a virus gets out of control and there is no vaccine for it? I wonder if people will still choose not to get vaccinated?

Often anti vaxxers believe a host of conspiracy theories to go alongside their bonkers anti vax beliefs. They probably have already convinced themselves the reasoning behind this outbreak which validates their ideologies.
I know my sister and her dh are such air heads.

And we will all get a free digital chip with our vaccine. Maybe....

This vaccine should be compulsory. We cant have another pandemic.
BettyIsMyFavouriteSquirrel · 21/03/2020 15:30
Well they just won’t vaccinate, these are not reasonable people who can be swayed by facts or evidence.
LambriniSocialist · 21/03/2020 15:34
Yeah well like all the other times they won't get the vaccine for themselves or their kids and will just rely on everyone else doing it.
Dickheads.
itwasalovelydreamwhileitlasted · 21/03/2020 15:38
With any luck they will decline to have the new corona virus vaccine when it comes out and natural selection will kick in
Olawisk · 21/03/2020 15:38
I wouldn’t want the vaccine just yet and I’m not an anti vaxxer.
But they will churn this vaccine out quick ASAP without properly seeing the side effects after human trials months/years later.
Olawisk · 21/03/2020 15:39
I’m also unlikely to die if I catch it, I’m young & health with no health issues. Most people would of already had it before they even make the vaccine.
MrsClatterbuck · 21/03/2020 17:01
The doctor who blew the whistle in China was apparently young and healthy. He died from the virus.
Grasspigeons · 21/03/2020 17:06
They wont vaccinate and because they are small minority they will mostly be ok because of that herd immunity thing . But they wont thank the rest of us for risking the side effects of any vaccine that creates the herd immunity they benefit from - and they will dilute the effect putting vulnerable people who cant have vaccines at greater risk.
They make me so cross!
SandyFire · 21/03/2020 17:09
I was wondering this and then got sent a video that the virus is caused by 5g. Metal makes you more susceptible to this and vaccines have aluminium in them. So vaccines will make you more affected by the virus. So they won’t vaccinate. Ludicrous
TooTrueToBeGood · 21/03/2020 17:10
They will willingly take it because the lizard people will significantly increase the dose of mind control drugs in chemtrails to ensure full compliance.
Burgerandchipvan · 21/03/2020 18:05
They'll have probably all died from gargling with bleach by then so it won't be a problem.
Sandwiched18 · 21/03/2020 18:30
I think there should be a law now that people have to get vaccines or live in social isolation without access to passports, credit and basically any other perk of being a responsible human being.
KitKat1985 · 21/03/2020 18:33
Well, I know one complete fucking nut-job anti-vaxxer who posts publicly all over Facebook that Coronavirus is a man made virus which has been deliberately infected into the population to allow pharmaceutical companies to sell a new vaccine, and encourage mandatory vaccination.
You just can't help some people. 
ElizabethMountbatten · 21/03/2020 19:05
I've got one on my Facebook who has been posting about the virus and it being a Big Pharma creation so that they can get the vaccination numbers up and stop losing money because of the antivaxx movement. Usually finishes all of her posts with "Wake up, Sheeple"
TorkTorkBam · 21/03/2020 19:09
Maybe they can team up with my mother. Believe in Jesus and the virus just bounces off you!
She's off visiting people to spread the good news of how they can stay healthy through the power of the gospel. She is in her late seventies, smoker, has had cancer. Darwin Awards beckon.

seriously? are you a test clinician? write for The Lancet? work in vaccine development?
Read something on Facebook? yup thought so.
god the utter shite you read on here.
ElfDragon · 21/03/2020 19:42
I have an unvaccinated child.
What will I do if a vaccine for Coronavirus becomes available?
The age as for any other vaccine.
Agonise over what to do.
Try to talk to someone who understands why I’m in this position, and who will give me proper full facts, so I can weigh up options. And who will talk through what the ramifications will be for my child, both if they have the vaccine and if they don’t.
And then, as always, I will face Hobson’s choice.
Because there isn’t a right answer.
Because life isn’t as simple and black and white as many like to make out.
And I will smile and nod while many ignorant people around me gleefully chuckle about the dilemma that anti-vaxxers must be facing, and while they crow about how much better they are purely because they get to lead that simple life. Because I’m not an arsehole.
PinkiOcelot · 21/03/2020 19:46
I’m not an anti vaxer at all, but I do believe in freedom of choice.
SidsWife · 21/03/2020 19:51
@ElfDragon
You don’t vaccinate your child so you ARE and arsehole.
Forgivenandsetfree · 21/03/2020 19:52
@sleepingpup
It's hardly total fiction is it? Have you never heard or thalidomide?
Forgivenandsetfree · 21/03/2020 19:54
@SidsWife
Where did she say that? She basically just said she will make sure to be fully informed before making the choice because that's what you're supposed to do.
