you must be being too subtle yourself, I can't see what relevant point you're trying to make. Though I suspect that your own prejudice and inadequacy has prompted your comment.

You'd feel a bit silly looking at that whilst not intending having it I would have thought. I've been very pleasantly surprised by the extent of take up so far, reportedly over 90% in all the categories that have been offered the jab. I suspect it will reduce in the younger age groups where people are invincible but it looks like it will be way in excess of the two thirds that originally thought I was being optimistic in predicting.

Yep, pretty conclusive so far, I guess it reflects the demographic on here.

In a recent poll on Chemist & Druggist 56% of the respondents said they would NOT have it - would they be mainly pharmacists?

Wife’s cousin is a retired pharmacist and a recent conversation he asked if we thought COVID was a thing invented by the government so as introduce social control. I offered to by him a roll of tin foil for his hat.
I would vaccinate my 6 year old grandson myself if need be.
Yes I am qualified to give injections.

where did you get your qual?

i've been watching it being done on documentaries and the news and it looks simple but was wondering if we needed any paperwork to be able to do it.

"Alexa, should I have the freedom not to have a vaccine and thereby potentially spread a deadly virus?"

I wasn't aware that the vaccine stops the spread of infection?

This isn't the point.

The point is that the vaccine reduces the risk of major illness/hospitilisation by a lot.

Keep people less sick

Keep them out of hospital

Less ill people means less dead people.

Less people in hospital means less limited health resources being taken up

Less limited health resources being taken up by covid mean that HCPs can do their jobs

HCPs doing their job means that they can care for everyone else

Less covid patients means that HCPs can work under normal conditions and hours and not work their goddamn backsides off under appalling conditions

Apply that across society.

Of course, however, I was simply replying to the point made about the vaccine reducing the spread of this 'deadly illness'.

yes its sodding deadly.

are you saying it isn't?

Sodding deadly for 1% who catch it for sure, for the other 99% not so much I guess.

"1% who catch it"?

I think an infection fatality rate of 1% is a fair number while the health system is not overwhelmed.

Problem is how many people it infects. And as we both know, the effects aren't limited to those who die.

I'll say this, Joe. It's a good job there are enough of us willing to have the vaccine, in a bid to get this thing under control and for the benefit of everyone*.

*Including those who are going to refuse it. Or those who will willingly share misinformation in places where impressionable people might read it.

I think an ifr of 1% basically means an overwhelmed health service.

People don't want to acknowledge that a small percentage of something big, can be something big.

overall but in some groups its far far higher. The problem is the majority for whom the infection is neither here and there pass it on to others. Of course you may be invincible and you may be happy to pass it on to your family if you have one.

And of course you need to answer the question for yourself about the responsibility of killing others by continuing the spread of a killer disease. By your own logic if you had HIV you would happily spread it because it doesn't kill many people in this country now.

You're over-simplifying the 1% for starters. Whether that's intentional or not, I don't know. I'd probably give you benefit of the doubt because that's what I'm like...

OK. So ask yourself: would you prefer a mortality rate of 1%, or even 0.23%, from COVID, or a death rate of pretty much 0.000% from the vaccine?
