Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Perhaps but the people who died of the flu back then and died or have fallen ill of covid now - in 99.99% of cases they have underlying health issues or over 60.

Lockdowns are meaningless and do more trouble than you may think, and its not just my opinion its shared by doctors. But lets cripple the country and send it to Uganda levels of GDP.

Too many people are just brainwashed on covid at this stage, absolutely spaced out, a caller on a radio show weeks back was asking if mutants enter windows - this is what happens if the government and tabloids spoon feed covid 24/7 causing mass hysteria, that and the fact no other illness seems to exist right now. I was told of several people by a friend that died of covid, well the death certificate said so but they actually had nothing at all to do with it.

To be clear, I am not an anti vaxxer - My passport is fully supplemented with all my travel jabs, however I draw the line at having drugs that seems pretty pointless - why do I need unapproved jabs? I have a better chance of winning the lotto 3 weeks in succession than dying of covid - them vaccines are not tested enough, they are in many cases issued under a NDA and do not have FDA approval. The good old flu jab I think was about 2 or 3 decades in the making. Its why the take up EU nations are slow, at the current rate it will be years before everyone in the eurozone is vaccinated.

Fact check: Sweden has not achieved herd immunity, is not proof that lockdowns are useless

With hundreds of thousands of views and over 3,000 shares on Facebook, a video produced by the conservative U.S. nonprofit PragerU claims that “Sweden is the proof that lockdowns are useless” in stemming the spread of COVID-19 and that its population likely has “herd immunity...

Tells me that people are brainwashed and then links me a load of newspaper stories.

You are entitled to your views regarding vaccines, its your choice, justify it however you want, just don't expect me to agree with it.

And if that's you in the picture, you want to rethink your chances of death to Covid.

Is it just me or have recent reporting on the vaccines been massivley scaling back on the joyous prognostications about what we can expect it to achieve?

Seems to be a lot more caution in claiming it as a tool that can return us to normality.

Almost certainly BS.

If you seriously think that you need locking up.

No, we all go out and you stay locked up in your fantasy world of lockdowns.

It's hard with the vaccine because it's everybody's own body and everyone has that right to decide what goes into it or not.

But... it's going to help save lives and get out of any need for lockdowns or mad people shouting at everyone for going on walks or to the pub.

So, please, just have the vaccine if you're offered it. It's not going to do anything bad. It's going to help protect you and others from an illness you're unlikely to get, but what's the harm in having the protection?

The more people refuse to have a vaccine, the more excuses there is for people to demand lockdowns or stuff to be shut or back, sac and crack parlours not to open - and I need one of those in my life please.

Better get building some big gulags then.
