Original poster

Is anyone not having the vaccine and what are your reasons? Im in my 30s I'm not having the vaccine because I'm worried about the long term effects that might not come to light for a few years. Why are you not having it?
If you think the vaccine is amazing and anyone not having it is selfish you probably don't need to comment.

You clearly can't read like your friend pinkpussy who is rattling on about 5G and microchips which is the default setting for anyone deciding not to take the vaccine. What would you call someone talking about microchips when a poster doesn't want a vaccine.. an academic ?

I said the ONE PERSON I know who is not getting the vaccine believes in conspiracy theories, not everyone who isn't having it.

You really aren't the sharpest tool in the box are you?

I couldn't wait to get my vaccine but unfortunately my dp doesn't share the same excitement. He's had two txts now and hasnt booked .. he said he's not never having it just wants to wait a while. I'm not happy about it at all , we have 2 small children but it's his decision and I hope it's not one he will regret

@PinkSparklyPussyCat

I don't believe in microchips and 5 G you incorrigible dunce.. if you can find any post of mine that mentions either feel free to post it otherwise learn to read

Jesus Christ, you have the cheek to call me an 'incorrigible dunce' when you don't even read my post properly?! Nowhere did I say you believe in conspiracy theories, the idiot I know who is refusing the vaccine believes them!

I'm now waiting with bated breath to see what other insults you come up with.

You stated that the only person you know that has refused the vaccine is as thick as mince.. many doctors are also refusing it so why can't you respect the fact everyone has different risk assessment criteria for covid and may make a different decision to you without resorting to insults?
PinkSparklyPussyCat · 20/05/2021 18:57

Me resorting to insults?! Hello pot, meet kettle!

Let me say this carefully for you. The ONE PERSON I know who is refusing the vaccine is doing so due to believing conspiracy theories such as 5G, covid is a hoax etc etc. That person is not a doctor. If they had said they didn't want it because of side effects, not knowing enough about the vaccine etc I would have respected that. I cannot respect someone who believes they are being injected with a microchip!

I think @PinkIncorrigibleDunce might be up for grabs, @pinksparklypussycat ;)

PurplePumpkinDream · 20/05/2021 18:59

Don’t have it then, but then you’ll be worrying about catching Covid which has a much higher risk of clots. Not sure whether they’ll ever let people in your position have a different second vaccine.

I think *@PinkIncorrigibleDunce might be up for grabs, @pinksparklypussycat* ;)
I'm tempted! I wonder if PinkSparklyIncorrigibleDunce is too long?!

@katylees

"So you believe they told you not to hug your loved ones for PR and totalitarianism and they want to force you to have the vaccine, even though you’re choosing not to have it, and better than the vaccine is just your own ‘risk assessment’?"

You clearly can't read like your friend pinkpussy who is rattling on about 5G and microchips which is the default setting for anyone deciding not to take the vaccine. What would you call someone talking about microchips when a poster doesn't want a vaccine.. an academic ?

More abuse. That’s all information from your posts, why so defensive now?
Thatswatshesaid · 20/05/2021 19:03

Well as long as you isolate and do go near anyone else, especially my parents who are clinically vulnerable and old. They have had their injections but that’s only 90%.
Corona virus is low risk to you but it’s not to the people you work with or stand next to in the shops. You are selfish and I think you know that.

Kitcat122 · 20/05/2021 19:08

At the end of the day time will tell who is right and who is wrong. I've happily had my jab, but if I someone doesn't want it for whatever reason that's there call.

Pumperthepumper · 20/05/2021 19:10

@katylees

If you are so terrified of covid *@Pumperthepumper* then get the vaccine, I have issues when you foist your irrational fear on others where covid presents less of a risk. If you have had the vaccine why are you so frightened?
You have absolutely no idea of my views because I haven’t said. That’s how easy it is.

@Pumperthepumper

No you haven't given any views on the topic at all- a classic troll just trying to argue semantics with posters instead of the thread topic. At least you live up to your name I'll give you that

katylees · 20/05/2021 19:33

@Ethelfromnumber73

I've reported this thread - this level of stupidity should not be allowed to stand
if you are so insecure as to report any thread where views disagree from yours maybe forum life isn't for you?
Abraxan · 20/05/2021 19:35

You can still catch and spread covid even after having two doses of the vaccine, so I'm not really sure how having the vaccine stops the spread?

Not vaccine is 100%

All the information and findings show that the likelihood of catching covid is greatly reduced. The chances of becoming seriously ill is greatly reduced if you do manage to catch covid despite vaccination.

And everything has shown that transmission if also greatly reduced if you do still manage to catch it.

The vaccine is generally very effective from all the research and findings so far, more so than many other standard vaccines we use all the time.

Or just someone who thinks ‘what a load of old shit is being stirred into this thread about totalitarianism and ‘risk assessment’, I wonder if they can support that shit?’

And no, what a surprise - you can’t.

So if you don’t know my views, why did you accuse me of foisting irrational fears on others? Just so desperate for a fight?

I wouldn’t not have it because of the clotting issues, CVST, but I have to say after having my first dose and suffering with headaches plus eye issues for nine weeks, I regret having it. It is not just me who has had many weeks of headaches after the vaccination, there are others. This is more common than the CVSTS by far. I find this worrying, as no one, doctors, seem to know why these people like myself are getting these non stop weeks of headaches after the vac. People have had the blood test to check for low platelets plus sometimes further investigations, and results have not revealed anything. I desperately want my Covid protection, but am shocked by a vaccination that can cause headaches for so many weeks.

Pumperthepumper · 20/05/2021 19:43

@katylees

lol @ someone called *@Pumperthepumper* admitting to not giving her view on the thread topic which is the whole point of any forum losing her shit again talking about " spoiling for a fight"

Whatever you say pumpy

I don’t understand this at all - what do you think Pumper means?
Abraxan · 20/05/2021 19:43

[quote bumbleymummy]@IrishGirl2020 The people more vulnerable than you have already been vaccinated.[/quote]
Not all have been.

Children under the age of 16y who are vulnerable and/or have auto immune health issues have not been vaccinated.

Many clinically vulnerable people in group 6 are still only partially vaccinated, as are many others from the priority groups 7-9.

Not all very vulnerable people can be vaccinated due to their specific health issues.

As with all vaccines, not everyone will get full immunity from the vaccines. This is even more likely if someone has an auto immune health issue where their immune system doesn't always perform as well.

One of the reasons we vaccinate everyone against some diseases is to offer some protection for those who are not able to be vaccinated.

[quote katylees]@Pumperthepumper

The definition of totalitarianism " a system of government that is centralized and dictatorial and requires complete subservience to the state."

This just doesn't refer to the vaccine which is incessantly rammed down peoples throat despite not wanting it, it refers to not being allowed to hug relatives, visit second homes, arrests when walking in beauty spots, potentially having to share NHS data along with vaccine passports not allowing you to function in society without the government led vaccine. The restriction on our freedoms are frightening and the response to that is " Have the vaccine to stop these freedoms taken away " which reverts back to the vaccine not being optional at all but a form of medical bullying into the lives of people interfering with a human beings right for body autonomy. Utterly disgusting , all of this fits the criteria of totalitarianism to me[/quote]
If your nurse rammed the vaccine down your throat, you might need to make a PALS complaint. They may need their application technique corrected.

Incidentally pumpy, virtually all my posts are dealing with the thread topic and fairly lengthy explaining the reasons why whether people agree or not whilst yours are spent dealing with strawman arguments deliberately twisting posts in order to discredit views despite offering none of your own... you're dismissed pumpy @Pumperthepumper

katylees · 20/05/2021 19:48

How many children vulnerable or not have died of covid in the Uk under 16 @Abraxan
