    There will be people wearing space suits next, it's gone ridiculous IMO, but hey, even if it makes no difference whatsoever, it's their choice :emoticon-0103-cool:

    Riddled with inaccuracies and misleading info but I assume it's from Facebook so there you go!


    It began development in the early 1970's. Once science learns, surely you wouldn't expect a vaccine for Coronavirus to take the exact same amount of time? Besides, multiple sources will show that the groundwork for our current vaccines began in the 2000's, it did not take just 1 year to make these vaccines.



    There is no comparison with flu. Covid is both more contagious than flu and more deadly than flu. You cannot treat both the same.

    Just because it hasn't affected you (presumably), doesn't mean it won't or can't, and it doesn't mean it hasn't affected lots of people you know and interact with.



    The vast, vast majority of vaccine side effects (for all illnesses) show up in the days and weeks following taking it. Not years down the line.


    Sorry to be blunt but this is one of the most stupid things I've ever read <laugh>. Please link me to an article where strawberries have killed 4.2m people worldwide. And I'd far rather my grandparents drove on the motorway (if they were about!) than hug me if I had a potentially fatal disease. Which for 2 weeks last year I genuinely did.


    You can change that to, 'I choose a life with hugs and smiles, where I hug my Mum in her retirement home, and where I'm extremely selfish and put every single person I come in contact with at risk'.


    That's what everybody thinks. Then they're on a ventilator gasping for breath.

    https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...ne-antivax-alabama-family-death-b1890600.html


    Not only that, but 153,000 deaths out of an adult population of what, 55,000,000? is absolutely not minuscule. I myself know 2 people who have died from it. It is not minuscule in any way.

    But most of these viruses aren't likely to facking kill them mate!

    IMO still all been blown out of all proportion, by the scaremongers and main stream media alike...and those that are soaking it all in..(obsessed).
    Plenty of other things that kill you which seems not to count anymore......but the control that's in place (crazy) most people are buying into...sorry mate but I'm not one of them..bribing young ones (minimal risk) a kebab for a jab.....the worlds gone mad!!
    Unfortunately where the rules that are in place (made up as they go along) I have to adhere to (most!!) but I mainly switch off any media regarding Covid, I've lost all interest watching the worlds pants, being well and truly pulled down!!
    If I have to be jabbed or tested or wear masks to go to events etc......I'd rather not go..won't bother me!

    is 500 deaths a week a welcome down? ……….. or to high. [ in excess of 25,00 per annum ]
    Is covid the new evolution of the species … only the strongest survive!

    this is a bit repetitive … we all know being jabbed does not potentially stop us from spreading it. But reduces substantially the risk of doing so. Anyone who touch's an infected area is liable, wearing a mask doesn't actually mean you wont catch it. Being jabbed means you have / the body has a register of that virus type and can readily produce more anti bodies quickly.
    you can have a real battle going on in your system when a real threat [ virus ] enters [ body energy looks for and produces anti bodies ] that's why temperature increase, which takes away resources to fight on more than 1 front... etc etc

    Only because you're choosing to believe that. There is no scientific analysis and no numbers to back up your point of view, you're just choosing to have that view rather than basing it on any fact. That's fine, but it's killed nearly 150k people here, 2 people that I'm related to, and that's with controls. I dread to think how many would have died without them.

    But you keeping on telling us that it's blown out of proportion, that it isn't as bad as we think, that it's not really 150k people that have died. It's never based on anything other than what you want to believe. So I'm quite glad that most people aren't taking that daft point of view tbh. The scientists probably know what they're talking about.

    I had chicken pox in the 50's & both measles treatment was calamine lotion keeping skin cool and not to scratch [ if you didnt bite your nails they were cut right back ] …. you had it! well everyone who didn't was introduced to you!!!!! no isolation, whilst no school, after school still had friends around!!!!!
    was it as late as the 70's think my first kids were jabbed in early / mid 60's

    this is very true ...harbinger of suffering!

    this statement, it all comes down to one thing, an attempt at using something to give your argument a bit of fibre …
    comparisons to what may/ can happen. the only thing about the H&S act that makes sense is that every individual is responsible for their own safety … if not it can cause danger to others or self ...like getting hit by a bus etc.
    we take risks every day..... REALLY … you do not understand risks. Driving a car is not a risk, no comparison between freeway and grandma ……….a very confusing statement of risks and dangers …

    A calculated risk … where an individual draws a line … I live or die scenario [ but others risk themselves to effect a recovery a live or dead ] = selfish


    A risk …. failure to appreciate the dangers to others = very selfish [ you "see" the danger, but ignore it ...drink driving?

    The epitome of selfishness believing it will be miniscule, could die [ and put the risk on people trying to stop you from dying ] and feeling crap for a few days...well if you don't get a few days and the other side of coin is your destiny best of luck and hopefully you will not drag other poor souls down your path

    Australia held up early as the way to halt Covid was for a stringent lock down and now looks in sh*t street because of only 16% double jabbed.
    Sweden, who didn't lock down with now 42% double jabbed look to be going the right way.
    The UK with a mixture of lock down and 75% double jabbed is, well, make your own mind up.

    150k with not of..
    2 people that you are related to.......since this pandemic started, I know of at least 5 people that have died distant family & friends ranging from Heart. COPD and 3 from cancer..
    No I'm not a scientist, I'm not paid to be one and I also don't believe everything they tell us either, nor government, nor the obsessed....I'm happy with that and also happy with my own thoughts and find it quite easy to switch off from those whom are happy to talk about nothing else (obsessed)!! I believe this all has a time limit when eventually, people will say bollocks to it, we need to learn to live with it rather than worrying about dying from it......which is what we should as humans be doing..Seems like a reset button has been pushed and we are all expected to adhere by it!!
    Turn off the news....it works!!!

    Yes mate. But you can't catch COPD or cancer. Staying in doesn't stop you spreading cancer. That's the point.

    Honestly mate the only people holding us up from reaching that point now are you anti-vax lot.

    1. But you can still die from them, millions do. also from so many other things!!
    2. IMO that's bollocks.......as it won't stop there.....because it can't....plus I still haven't said if I've had it or not......No one should be forced or bribed into it either..Life choices...

    I’ve obviously been watching this thread and commented on a couple of occasions, but an “underlying” theme put forward by some as a issue is the apparent control of the masses ie “we might as well have a chip inserted to know our every movement”

    This seems quite strange to me!!

    The reason for my comment is that the vast majority of the populace now have mobile phones and pay for things daily by debit/credit card. Anyone who has ever watched one episode of “Hunted” will know that the security services/government can track you wherever you have been should they want to!! Also, with some high profile crime cases, the media subsequently reports on the movement of the accused proving their whereabouts in relation to the alleged offence by these means!

    I really don’t think there is a need for a specific chip to be inserted into any individuals!!

    Yes but you have choices, you can turn off your location on your phone, or turn phone off altogether..not sure about following you about when using credit or debit cards, most purchases done online nowadays..
    plus I think that’s only allowed with a warrant if and when you do anything seriously illegal..
    Not sure many people would be overly happy with the knowledge that our movements are all monitored for everyone to see!! Although of course some love being controlled!!!

    Any call or message can be triangulated, so it would have to be a case, effectively, of throwing your phone away and not using another in your name. How many people would do that these days?

    As far as a warrant is concerned, yes, it may be needed, but the capability is still there if required! I also think you’ll find that under the Data Protection Act for many offences “only” a Superintendents authority is required to access phone information.

    Where do you get your cash from? Most get it from an ATM. When you do go out, do you pay for purchases/services by cash, or like most people now, tap your card. All this info is logged and can be accessed if needed.
