Perhaps a little late in the game here with this post (don't live in the UK) but i'm on the fence about the vaccine! Family are all vaccinated! Many of my friends too (i'm mid 30's) but on the other hand i've a group of friends who are just not interested about getting the vaccine! They are not COVID skeptics or anything like that they are more of the opinion that we are being fed misleading information on why we need/should get the vaccine! I realise I could get flamed on here which is completely understandable as i'll admit i don't watch/follow the news as i find it to be just completely confusing right from when the news of the pandemic broke! I have people sending horror statistics and telling me new variants are out there! So do the vaccines protect against these? Then i have people sending horror articles on what is in the vaccines and how side effects/long term effects are being completely down-played! I have followed rules/regulations since the beginning! Wear my mask everywhere! Strict with the lock-down! Home-schooling/wfh and and and!! I have never or not that i know of had COVID nor have any of my close friends/relatives! A distant relative 80+ was in hospital after having a stroke caught COVID but was fine! I really wish I could make up my mind as to what to do here! It seems people now feel they can ask when you will get the vaccine not if but something just doesn't feel right? Not sure what i am hoping from this post but wondered if anyone else is in a similar position?

Is someone feeding you on exclamation marks?
Because you seem to be regurgitating them at regular intervals.

Sorry my keyboard is broken! My only way to punctuate is my exclamation button! Grin Commas and fullstops don't work

Hmm

Have you just joined here? I don't think it's an exaggeration to say there are about a million threads you could read to find out more (well maybe a small exaggeration, it just feels like there couldn't possibly be anything more so say on the subject)

I suggest you don't take the vaccine if you are not comfortable doing so.

With a side of forward slashes too.

Well guess my name change did fail oops! Aaaanyway its just become a hot topic right now for me as everyone i know has made their minds up apart from me. I just liked the idea of asking other people to get different opinions from people outside of my social circle. Seems my punctuation has got people talking though… Grin

On a population level, it doesn't matter, do whatever you want.

On an individual level, the doctors and nurses I know are vaccinated. The wacky conspiracy nuts on FB aren't. If I'm a sheep, I'm following the better herd.

If you ask on here you won't get a reasonable answer, you'll become an anti vaxxer, and get snide remarks.....

Hmmm i‘ve seen how savage people can be on other threads so curious to see how this thread is treated or if it even gets any responses. I‘ll not take it personally i‘m genuinely interested in people‘s comment even if they aren‘t of any use! It‘s just mass confusion in my head! And want to see what others are thinking. So bring on the comments. Given my unpredictable keyboard there will be plenty of !!! and //// too!
