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?

All the ones I read about on the Arnica Facebook group (which is an open group and I check in on to see what the crazies are currently obsessing over) are in no way swayed by the current situation.

They are all saying there will be mandatory vaccination and asking for ways to avoid it. So it really doesn't seem to mean a change of heart for any of them.

Yikes. I don’t know - but I hope they consider the rest of us.

I’d rather a test that shows if we’ve had it already than a mass under-researched vaccine

@Forgivenandsetfree

of course I have. That doesn't mean that this isn't ignorant scaremongering crap.

But they will churn this vaccine out quick ASAP without properly seeing the side effects after human trials months/years later.

Most anti vaxxers on facebook say that Covid 19 is a hoax so that the powers that be can enforce vaccination.

They seem to think that the vaccinations are some sort of mind control thing( unlike the weed they so happily toke on of course.)

Rely on herd immunity as they do now is my guess. Covid19 has a lower mortality rate than measles, the pandemic we are seeing is because measles is largely vaccinated against so it cannot spread easily, so very large numbers of people are dying, if most of the herd are vaccinated or immune through having had the disease anti-vaxxers can sleep well in their beds knowing they are protected by those around them.

SidsWife she didn't say WHY her child is not vaccinated. Maybe there are medical reasons.

This is so key and is what a lot of people are misunderstanding I think. It's not that Covid 19 is a particularly dangerous virus itself, it's that it's new so there is no immunity to it in humans and so it is spreading at such a rapid rate that health services cannot cope with the sheer numbers of the most severe cases.
