In fairness to @zzr45 he's been saying this for quite a while now, admittedly he uses advocates setting fire to them as well, but the message is still the same.

Lets say I move far away and stay there for 3-4 years in the middle of nowhere, when I come back in 2024, will I still need to prove that I got the jab to enter a pub? or is this only 2021/22 thing?
While ideally it would be best if (nearly) everyone got the vaccination, surely a sizeable percentage of people receiving a vaccine would help curb the virus?
Without wanting to make too many of the comparisons that people make*, consider influenza and how the current programme restricts rather than eradicates.
The short-term plan will be to vaccinate NHS staff, key workers, the elderly and vulnerable as this will help alleviate the pressure on the NHS and economy.
Only in the latter stages of the medium-term and into the long-term, will the real efforts be in eradicating the virus completely as it should be managed till then.
The real goal will be to reduce deaths to zero and the strain on NHS capacity (ICU beds and ventilators), with the hope of also lowering transmission there.
*e.g. there's lots of epidemiology reasons for why we can't completely eradicate influenza.

Well, it looks like it would have to be re-administered every year, like the flu jab. There are already various strains of CV19 and it affects different age groups differently, they were saying only a couple of months ago that we would all have to have slightly different vac, dependant on age group and health, weight etc, now they are saying there is a blanket vax for all, developed in a few months.

My methods might be unconventional, but they are for the good of society. By which i mean me.
Tbh if me and Davek were put in charge of the response to COVID there wouldn’t be a lamppost in the land without someone hanging from it, not that you’d need them as the piles of slow roasting pensioners and Greggs patrons would illuminate the night sky.

Going abroad / coming into the country is going to be the only thing that they are going to change the law to require, I think. There is already some precedent for it and it’s the only thing that will get travel going again.
Hook it up to me.
I'm ready to have it.

Really good stuff on the vaccine. Hopefully it can all run smoothly now
As soon as our health workers and the over 60-65's or so have the vaccine, there is no justification for any restrictions.

There'll still be some restrictions in place; it's not just the 60+ that are at risk.
Yeah but I'd hope those with other conditions are high up the priority list
Probably but what I meant was people with no underlying conditions and/or not old have also been affected so it's not going to go from what it is now, to vaccine available, to 2019 lifestyle straight away.

The risk for below 60s is the same % as flu thats essentially a confirmed fact. A small number of people can get very ill but its not common. Over 90% of deaths in the UK are over 65 and about 9% of the remainder below 65s are in at risk groups that will also be vaccinated. Thats around 99% of UK deaths stopped overnight.
