What’s happens when we’re all vaccinated....

One all adults are vaccinated (with both doses) what happens?

Will it then go back to the start of offering boosters in vulnerability order?

Will the boosters be the same vaccine that you’ve been given as your first and second dose?

Does anyone actually know?

Interested to hear opinions.

the prospect of a nation of obese binge drinkers being able to personally risk assess

That only works if you add all the examples given 😂 drink/drugs maybe. But you're saying people who get in to accidents while driving a quad, fishing, trampolining or whatever avoidable legal activity, cant risk assess?. Strange.

If the present situation is anything to go by
We will still be restricted,
The government will still be trying to scare us witless
The government will still be reluctant to give up their power trip and control
The economy will still tank
Children will still be treated like pawns in the game.

The government will still be pushing snot rags and face nappies at us
Mental health problems will still be going through the roof
Elderly and vulnerable will still be treated as commodities and still be refused loved ones/ visits and advocates to help ease their deplorable situation

The only way this shit stops is for people to stop complying and get out and live their lives
Stop listening to the news
Do your own risk assessments
Question everything that is going on.

I think you’re confusing conspiracy with incompetence

speckledostrichegg · 31/05/2021 19:57

o infectious that the government reduced its severity on March 19 2020

Yeah right
I’m not falling for that codswallop
So infectious that it was ok to evacuate us from abroad in March 2020
That it was ok to pack us like sardines in planes, in an overcrowded airport with no sd , no sanitiser, no masks.

So infectious that my son was sent in to covid homes with just a plastic apron, plastic gloves and a tatty snot rag

I’m not buying into this nonsense and never have done.

@shewalkslikerihanna

the government are morons, I wouldn't take the fact that they downgraded the threat in March 2020 and consistently made poor and late decisions regarding suppression policies as a rational for COVID not being a world wide serious problem

Have you not seen what's happened since March 2020?

I don't think it's even worth engaging with someone who refers to face nappies and snot rags.

speckledostrichegg · 31/05/2021 20:01

@shewalkslikerihanna

Here
I don't think anyone is denying that happened?

I repeat that the government are a bunch of morons who responded far too late to the pandemic- I wouldn't take the fact they downgraded the threat in March 2020 as evidence it's not serious, particularly when you consider what happened in the following 18 months?!

Please yourself But don’t pretend they are hygienic and not vectors for more detrimental microbes.

Surgeons are wearing them in sterile environments though, and not some poultice that has been shoved in a pocket for a week before fishing it out to wear ... FFS

i heard that a new vaccine is on the cards for the autumn booster, a one dose vaccine.

It’s like So many are going around blinkered

Surgeons masks are properly sterile, fitted properly and after a couple of hours wear, discarded and a new one applied.

Don’t be thick. Surgeons masks are million miles away in terms of how sterile from the grubby rags that most people carry around!
rosie39forever · 31/05/2021 20:27

So no mask is preferable to a grubby mask in the fight against Covid is it?

speckledostrichegg · 31/05/2021 20:32

A mask that's been bundled into your handbag and reworn multiple times isn't going to be great for your skin, in the same way an unwashed pillowcase won't be, but it's still a barrier which reduces the amount of viral particles you expel, if you happen to be infectious.

Basically your choice to not wear a fresh mask everytime only affects yourself, your decision not to wear one potentially affects everyone

speckledostrichegg · 31/05/2021 20:34

I do find it fascinating though how any post on vaccines attracts people who are incredibly anti having it, who then reveal themselves to also be anti COVID suppression policies like masks and lockdown

Interested to hear opinions.

They're likely to use only Pfizer/Moderna for boosters and likely only for the old and clinically vulnerable.

For everyone else, it depends on what the virus does next and whether or not they are able to make boosters that enhance protection against new variants.

It's the same with drivers - if a car pulls out in front of you forcing you to brake, and you follow them for a mile or two, you always notice they do things like drive in the middle of the road, constantly use their brakes, don't indicate, tailgate the vehicle in front.

In other words, arseholes are arseholes.

@CandyFIosss

It’s been well over a year and I haven’t had it. 🤷‍♀️ Happy to take my chances
You sound completely fucking stupid. I hope you turn down help from the NHS when you do get it, because I’ll tell you something now it’s not pretty!
Tealightsandd · 31/05/2021 20:49

children who won't be eligible.

Why not? We know they can get Long Covid, and there are CEV children in school (or who need to be back in school when it's safe), and obviously it benefits - helps protect - parents, teachers, and other school staff.

It's been approved as safe (for over 12s) in many countries - Europe, Israel, UAE, and US are already doing or about to start children over 12.

Assume - as it's Pfizer for children - we don't have enough supply?

We did what we had to do.

People have given their all.
Lives have been turned upside down, businesses ruined,

Just how long do you want this to go on for?

HalfPastThree · 31/05/2021 20:53

So far it's very rare for fully vaccinated people to end up in hosiptal with Covid, and those that do have serious comorbidities. And immunity, so far, seems to be long-lived.

If it's really about saving lives, there are vast numbers of older and vulnerable people in other countries who haven't been vaccinated. We'd be better off focussing our energies on that.

Surgeons masks are not sterile. They are kept in a box that everyone can sticks their hands in! They are also one size fits all, and are kept on until surgery is finished. This can be 8 hours +.

But, surgeons wash their hands properly before they put the mask on and do not fiddle with it at all until surgery is over. They don't pull them down to sneeze or answer a phone, or smell a candle.

Iggly · 31/05/2021 20:59

Why do people think that this government are using covid as an “excuse” to “take away” our freedom? Seems all a bit “Brexit” to me.

This government was voted in with a huge majority - use your logic people. Honestly. Stop thinking with your feelings - especially your fear. And stay off Facebook and other crank theory websites.
