Not sure how Boris can stand up tonight and ask us to wait 'just another few weeks' after his antics this weekend.

Nor after seeing the scenes at countless pubs where people were celebrating the footy results

I'm 100% done now

Thats good news. Im pleased.

[quote PattyPan]@Ostara212 aside from the fact the vaccine benefits you by reducing your risk of serious illness, the vaccine rollout is one of the four tests that has to be met to end restrictions. Anyone who is desperate for restrictions to end should be encouraging everyone they know to get vaccinated asap!

@Mathshelpme You will probably find that you need to be fully vaccinated (ie both doses) to benefit from a vaccine passport. That is definitely the case for Jersey, Greece, Spain, France etc. So having just one dose is pointless.[/quote]
Did you read, or fill in, the consultation paper prior to the vaccine release? Granted, I did, but still succumbed to abusive boyfriend behaviour, as I say, i'm an adult, I take responsibilty and I apologise.

Do you still think the government will remove restrictions when all the vulnerable are vaccinated?

Do you think it's wildly unreasonable for young people to worry about the effect on fertility? Our grandparents remember thalidomide.

Do you think it's okay for the vaccine to be the condition by which freedom is restored?

If you do, great. You do you.

I don't want to set a precedent of "let me take a treatment I don't want" to go to a pub, which I still can't do without T&T.

MrsLCSofLichfield · 14/06/2021 19:21

No T&T, no G&T. Your name's not down, you're not coming in. Grin

MRex · 14/06/2021 19:21

A few hundred people from a population of 68 million. It's not exactly Iraq war protests revisited.

Ostara212 · 14/06/2021 19:21

@MRex

Some in this thread would be really confused to know there's already a queue for the 23-24 year olds booking their vaccine doses, and it doesn't officially open until tomorrow. My DN waited patiently and is delighted to be booked in. A wall of vaccine immunity is what this virus needs.
An online queue or a physical queue?
MRex · 14/06/2021 19:22

Online queue for the NHS booking system

gottakeeponmovin · 14/06/2021 19:24

I was done two months ago

TacoSunday · 14/06/2021 19:27

If Boris had gone ahead with lifting all restrictions on 21st, #BorisTheButcher would be trending. Damned if he does....

PattyPan · 14/06/2021 19:28

@Ostara212 I didn't but my job involves reading responses to government consultations so I can imagine they heard all sorts. I think the government will remove restrictions when the four tests have been met - they have nothing to gain and everything to lose by doing otherwise. I don't think they will keep them just because of vaccine refusal but the fact is that widespread vaccination will also help the other three tests be met so it's the quickest way out.
I am a young person and while I have my fair share of fertility issues as it is, I imagine my child-bearing capacities would be much worse if I were dead or suffering from chronic illness as a result of a covid infection, which is why I booked my jab as soon as it opened to me last week. DP just missed the cut off so will be getting into the (online) queue tomorrow morning.

DD booked hers about an hour ago. She tried this morning and she wasn't eligible but by this evening she was! She's having her first one on Friday. She's absolutely over the moon Smile
AColdDuncanGoodhew · 14/06/2021 19:29

@placemats

Because I cannot count the number of times I had to work with a cold (both in hospitality AND in NHS clinical, patient facing roles roles) because it was that or get sanctioned for sick time. I even got told to come in once after asking my WARD MANAGER for advice because it was "just a cold"...... which turned out to be bacterial pneumonia!!

They obviously had loads of people queuing up for your job then! Take responsibility for your health and the health of others. Personally I would hate having someone sneeze/wipe their germs into or onto my glass of wine. Or muck about with my oxygen mask, feed me when sniffing etc.

Certainly wouldn't happen now though.

Really? I work in a hospital, people do still come to work with cold symptoms.
Changemusthappen · 14/06/2021 19:37

It's as I thought, we aren't all in this together at all, some of us have been in it whilst lots of other indvidual groups have just done what the liked.

Because it was becoming increasingly difficult to contain media coverage of the amount of groups breaking the rules as well as the government cock ups like not closing the border, they have introduced 'research' projects that allow them to continue to do what they whilst telling the rest of us that we must follow the rules.

Actually I don't think so anymore Boris, I'm not playing anymore, you've exhausted my goodwill.

User135644 · 14/06/2021 19:38

The virus doesn't care if you're done.

bumbleymummy · 14/06/2021 19:39

I find it really sad that so many young people have been so scared of this virus that they are ‘relieved’ to be getting their vaccine. Did you, as parents, not show them the stats to try to reassure them that they aren’t at risk?

TheVampiresWife · 14/06/2021 19:40

@User135644

The virus doesn't care if you're done.
If you've had at least one jab, your chances of becoming ill enough to require hospital treatment is very, very small.

The virus can do one.

DD was desperate to get hers because I'm CV. I'm fully jabbed now but still, if she's jabbed too that's even better.

He should be able to get in now, they're already booking Smile

Its often not about them but their parents that is driving them to feel 'relieved'.

HTH.

bumbleymummy · 14/06/2021 19:46

Except the vulnerable, elderly etc have already been vaccinated before they were.

PattyPan · 14/06/2021 19:47

@bumbleymummy Of course anyone is relieved to be at lower risk of a serious illness, what a weird thing to say. I was relieved to get my HPV vaccine too even though the risk of cervical cancer is low.

PattyPan · 14/06/2021 19:48

Thanks @MRex I will dig out his NHS number!

Faffinator · 14/06/2021 19:48

@MercyBooth it doesn't bother me for those events to go ahead but it is unjust when you look at what is still banned. School trips anyone? Transition days, residentials, proms? Why can't my DSis big birthday party be a 'government test event'? I guess @PattyPan will be along to tell me that its cos Wimbledon is for the important people.

Northernlurker · 14/06/2021 19:49

I think a lot of young people are relieved re vaccine appointments because they want their lives back and this is the only way out we have.

Saucery · 14/06/2021 19:53

School trips aren’t banned. Neither are transition days. Many schools may have decided the risk is too great for them to take place but they aren’t banned.
