Worried that the military and NHS are on standby to deliver vaccines

Just heard this on the BBC news at 6.Does this mean the military will be injecting people? Will it be mandatory for certain groups? This is rather worrying.

Do you think the MHRA should as well, or do you think just possibly they already have, and at a far
greater degree and more effectively than those of us who don’t even have science degrees let alone decades of experience and high level qualifications in the field can?

Updated list of OP's worries for anyone struggling to keep up:

Soldiers firing needles at people
Untrained soldiers firing needles at people
Creeping authoritarianism
The government
Untrained soldiers firing needles at people once a year
No, not firing needles. Something else. Stop making shot up.
Sinister side effects
We're all going to mutate
They're only in it for the money
I miss measles parties
Sheeple
We're going to burn our fingers off when we grab the vaccines with our bare hands
Matt Hancock doesn't like it
TV doctor doesn't like it
People need to click on this link to a dodgy insecure website

Haha excellent.

So you were being disingenuous. And now you'd just like to hope things.

See, it would have been easier to say that at the start. You wouldn't have had to put up with people missing the point and trying to reassure you.

And now you look manipulative. Which is a poor position from which to cry manipulation.

Do we think we'll ever see the back of conspiracy theorists? I am so bored of arguing with these people.

The minute someone uses the acronym MSM, I'm out.

Thanks @JesusInTheCabbageVan I don't need to go back so far to catch up now Smile

@JesusInTheCabbageVan that response was genius!

But don't you know that the MHRA and FDA are firmly in the pocket of big pharma? It must be true because my mate Bob has told me. He's done a lot of research into it, well as much as he can when he's not flipping burgers for a living, arguing that the earth is flat or fighting for his rights as a Freeman on the Land. Why would I doubt him?

Well it's definitely not them, given how few planes were flying in lockdown 1.0
JesusInTheCabbageVan · 12/11/2020 16:33

@BeyondsConstantBangingHeadache hmmm. Lockdown ends - more planes - more chemtrails - and now suddenly we have a vaccine? Coincidence? I think not.

Vaccine is made of chemtrails.

BeyondsConstantBangingHeadache · 12/11/2020 16:39

I'm picturing the little "cure" planes flying around the world in Plague.inc now, releasing their chemtrails everywhere... 😂

Can you summarize all long threads please. Saved me lots of reading time and made me smile. Thanks.
BurningRose · 12/11/2020 16:57

I never once mentioned army firing needles FFs. But never mind. Use the 'facts' you love so much in a way that suits you...

Website linked to earlier is factual. Dispute the claims with actual evidence if you can.

I started off think OP was a bit anxious and about half way through thought maybe a bit Woke now I end my reading by concluding she seems a bit of an idiot

BurningRose · 12/11/2020 17:03

I love how sophisticated some of the counter arguments are on here. Name calling and derogatory remarks seem to mask the ability of many to make reasoned counter arguments. Bye bye pea brains!

@knittingaddict Smile

@BurningRose I know, I updated the list, see? 6th line down: No, not firing needles. Something else. Stop making shit up.

(But you did say we're all going to turn into fingerless mutants...)
