    They have convinced you to take an experimental vaccination without liability for a virus with a 99% survival rate and you think I'm a lunatic. :)


    You utter clown. It's not "experimental", in fact, it's probably been tested more than any other drug released this year.

    That's true, tested on millions of people.

    Before Covid-19 no mRNA vaccine or drug had ever won approval.

    The mid to long term effects of mRNA vaccines are unknown.
    What a moron you are. Real qanon / flat earther.

    Because my views differ from yours?

    Try "Calm down, love" in a real argument and see where that gets you. You know what you're doing.

    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Not going to read the thread, but the poll saying 97% yes/had it is rather reassuring. Not reflected on social media, even if you only look at stuff around your own bubble.

    Feels like the pace of calling up new groups is slowing in Hampshire, two weeks ago those aged 64+ could visit ad-hoc walk-in vaccination centres, these have now ceased as the 60-63 group are being invited to get their first jab. At 47, I'll be amazed if I get a jab before the end of April.

    I'm the same age, and I'm expecting well into June.
    its because they're on group 6 which is massive. If for eg you have a child who has been diagnosed with adhd or has learning difficulties you get the jab as the disability is then associated to you. Its a discrimination issue I believe. This means many more people under 50 will be getting the jab than those 50 - 65 before April

    It also includes those who have eaten and drunk themselves to obesity or diabetes, have drink or drug problems etc etc

    As well of course as those with all other underlying health issues past or present.
    I'm well behind on the thread but I don't have an issue with vaccinating anyone young with specific issues. My bother in law is in care and is in his early 40s and the whole thing has given him fewer options in life than someone in prison. And he doesn't really understand. Sure there will be exceptions captured by national policy, but the greater good is served by innoculating people who through no fault of their own are more likely to catch it if thet are out and about.

    As for the other hypothetical categories, you sound like Norman Tebbit. You would prefer.to deny those in genuine need than inadvertently benefit those who in your judgement deserve what they get.

    Death is a harsh sentence for being a fattie, I would say.
    I wasn't making a comment other than replying to an earlier comment about expected timescales. Group 6 is for those people who fall into assorts of different categories obesity being but one.

    Since group 6 encompasses an awful lot of people, many of them relatively young then the following groups are some way down the line.

    It seems your own personal position has led you to defensively ascribe meaning to my post that just isn't there. (your Tebbit comments and deciding what I would or wouldn't like)

    I don't expect an apology, this is the internet after all.

    Okay. Can you explain the comment about it being a discrimination issue. It struck a nerve. If I've got the wrong end of the stick, I'll apologise.

    I do think Tebbit is under used as an insult though.

    Group 6 is massive, which is why it seems (subjectively) that the pace of vaccination is slowing. It feels like a very long wait to me - a few weeks ago I was thinking I might only be days away.

    But ADHD doesn’t qualify for Gp6 - I’ve looked as my son has it, and I probably had it (undiagnosed) when I was young. In fact the vast majority of learning issues (or difficulties) have no impact on what group you end up in.

    While true it's a big group, the pace is slowing.

    2nd doses are going up. Not quite enough to account for the drop off in 1st doses until very recently though.

    I think they were just under 400k yesterday so I suspect it's dependant on supply. There was talk a few days ago about a big supply of AZ coming in so it will hopefully pick up.

    Just booked mine for 19 March and 9 June, as they've just opened up booking at the big centre near me for 56+ ... slightly weird that if I booked the first jab for 17 March, it couldn't find a 2nd appointment slot at all at the same place within the 12-week window, but by delaying the first jab by two days there were plenty of options.

    Daughter had her first jab today. My wife's colleague, who has turned down the jab offered to them as care workers, thinks it's irresponsible. This isn't because of the same reason for not getting jabbed herself (vaccine rushed through, not properly tested blah blah) but because those who have it will become "silent killers" as they won't know they have the virus but can still pass it to those who don't have the vaccine.

    I'm really struggling with that logic. This is an educated, normally sensible, person we've known for years. I think her husband may have been the trigger although he's a well-educated person with a responsible job too. She has already had three 10 day stints off work self-isolating after coming into contact with positive cases (outside work).

    Even 'well educated' people are allowed different opinions to yours.
