[quote Gonnagetgoing]@Yeahthat - agreed re endless boosters but the truth is that no one knows how Covid 19 etc will go in the future. It could be that with boosters etc it'll just go away and that's that.
Or it could be that another virus similar will come along and take it's place. We just don't know.[/quote]
Of course we can't know precisely what will happen in the future.
However, as Prof Andrew Pollard, head of the UK's Committee on Vaccination and Immunization has pointed out:
"We can't vaccinate the planet every four to six months. It's not sustainable or affordable."
The kind of scenario the PP was depicting, where even years from now, generally healthy individuals with no factors which make them high risk will be routinely offered the jab simply isn't plausible, nor would I expect to see high compliance.
I agree with the PP who said that the anti-anti vaxers are becoming more tedious than the anti vaxers themselves.
If vaccine passes and other coercive measures had never been implemented, if there had been a laissez-faire approach of simply saying, "The vaccine is available for all, and evidence suggests that it reduces your chance of hospitalisation (particularly for high risk groups) and passing on the virus", would you honestly regard this as a deal breaker? It appears to me that it's a sort of conditioned outrage.
