To think that unvaccinated people whining about rights and freedoms when they can’t go to a concert

Choosing not to be vaccinated is not decision that has no impact on others.

So am I to assume every single one of you on this thread has their flu vaccine booked? I mean not having your flu vaccine impacts on others and the NHS. Bunch of hypocrites full of hot air and not much else.

But they can go to concerts so why are they moaning. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m not vaccinated and have a few concerts booked for the next 6 months. I’ve just booked another for next year.

But I personally don’t think that it’s a god given right to attend clubs, theatres and to go on holiday if you refuse to comply with health measures at the height of a pandemic

It’s not the height of a pandemic. There’s a safe, effective vaccine if you want it, you can take your chances if you don’t.

Why make people go through health theatre just to have some fun? Stay home if you’re worried and let the rest of us get on with our lives.

We will never get back to normal at this rate — and it won’t be the fault of the unvaccinated either

Thanks Confusedandshaken

To live in society sometimes we have to do things we don't want to. Queue, pay taxes, play ball with social and health services. If people don't like it they can move elsewhere, carry on here without enjoying the full range of societal benefits or...y'know, have a vaccine which is statistically incredibly safe and saving lives
Exactly this! Amazing how people are quick to take from society what benefits them directly, but when it comes to what benefits others, some are incredibly keen to shout their rights not to be tied to it.

They want their cake and eat it. Spoilt, entitled people.

In central London vaccine rates are very low but covid rates have also been some of the lowest in the country for the past couple of months. I assume it is because a lot of people have had covid already. I can understand why you might not particularly want the vaccine once you have had covid, especially if you only had it mildly. Once you have had it and been fine, it is quite hard to stay afraid of it. A lot of unvaccinated people have been working throughout the pandemic and taking the risks others have been unwilling to take. It is too simplistic to say they are selfish. I have had the vaccine but i don’t mind that others haven’t.

Less than 70% of adults have been double jabbed - and that’s not all down to hesitancy and anti-vax.

Some of it is that some people haven’t been able to have a second jab yet (like myself) - my first jab was later as I was under 40 at the time, my second jab was only due two weeks ago but they’ve closed the one centre in my town and I’ve not got my second until Wednesday.

So, I’m not happy at the talk of vaccine passports etc until everyone has actually had the chance to get double jabbed. I swear people forget that not everyone is over 40 and had their chance.

So all those who raise concerns about the opt out requirement of organ donation are anti organ donation? Anti vaxxers and anti mandated vaccination passports are different- is it too complex for many of you?

Also the vaccine doesn’t stop you spreading it and new variants may well mean the vaccine is useless especially as it is wearing off anyway!

Why isn’t the government trying to invest in the nhs, pay staff a decent wage and prepare it for the winter season as well?

I don’t think anyone actually is moaning. Just an excuse for divisiveness and to gain a response, which worked!

I think you’re right. Weird. I’d moan if I couldn’t go to concerts because I could just have a test. But I can go to concerts so the thread makes no sense unless as you say it’s meant to divide.

Also many in Israel were happy to be vaccinated- they are now considering their 4th booster jab for people- do you think they’ve tested the affects of 4 jabs in the space of a year on people?

A work colleague of mine has recently had Covid and was really unwell. She’s been told that had she not been vaccinated she’d probably have ended up in hospital. She’s fairly young and really healthy (bit of a fitness fanatic) so really doesn’t fit the criteria of old/overweight/clinically vulnerable etc.

Anti vaxxeers are as thick as shit going by the posts I see from them on social media. Most of them can barely spell,

@Gingerkittykat not true that in Ireland we have to show any firm of passport to go into a coffee shop. I would be fine with it though, if it was the case. We accept curtailment and rules on our activities all the time, wear setbelts, stick to one side of the road, don't browse the Internet while driving, get certain shots to travel to certain countries, pay tax, accept NHS/HSE standards and policies for our healthcare or pay privately...if these were not the case there would be anarchy and everyone would be worse off...

I only know one person who admits to being an anti-vaxxer. She is a yoga teacher and has always been a conspiracy theorist and into all things woo so it doesn't surprise me.

Before lockdown she supplemented her income by arranging 2 or 3 residential yoga retreats overseas every year as well as regularly teaching at massive yoga events in exotic locations. I'm watching with interest to see if not being able to travel to these events and the commensurate loss of the income and prestige they bring changes her mind about the vaccine. I hope it does because although she is as mad as a box of frogs she is a great yoga teacher and terrific company and I love her holidays.

Most of them can barely spell,

But do they know to use a full stop, not a comma, at the end of a sentence? 😉

Do you really think that any country leaders are going to tell us if there is any problems with vaccine, they want people vaccinated. They dismiss any advice they don’t agree with even from their own clinical advisers. Do you really trust the government to tell you the truth?
