Posts split from a topic on Comfort Cafe and moved here. I disagree with much of the post below that kicked off the discussion but will let others discuss if they wish. Clariman
Alot of brainwashed folk on this thread. Folk who think lockdowns - sorry, "measures" and "restrictions" - make any real difference to the spread of the virus. Unless you stay in very hard lockdown forever, they dont. That's why so many countries are going in and out of them like a revolving door. Keep doing the same thing and seriously believe that the outcome will somehow be different? If it wasn't so sad that people actually believe this, I would laugh.
Folk who think that we can vaccinate our way out of the crisis. We cant. Vaccines protect the vaccinated person for a few months at best. After that, it's back to square one. You are considered unvaccinated. The vulnerable such as the elderly will be willing to be jabbed two or three times a year. Most of the rest of the public will not. As vaccine fatigue sets in, what then? The percentage of the public willing to be boosted, double boosted then re boosted will gradually fall to a minority. Then what? Mandate the vaccines? I doubt that Boris will dare suggest his "national conversation" again after 100 of his own MPs rebelled against his hopeless covid passports. Even bumbling Boris realises that its a non starter. No doubt some on here wish that he would. Keep wishing. He wont.
Folk on here who seriously believe that "making life difficult for the unvaccinated", whatever that means, will make any real difference either. Take a look at countries who have very high rates of jabbed individuals who continue to jab and "restrict". They keep going in and out of the revolving door and the virus continues to spread. Many countries have tried to lockdown the unjabbed but guess what..............?
The ability to think for oneself has been completely lost in all this wall to wall nonsense.
