Interesting article. I fully support this and it should be the same in the NHS. Unless you have a doctors note explaining why you can't be vaccinated you have to be done. NHS and Care Homes have caused a third of the spread at various points in the pandemic. It needs to be minimised.

The amount of people shouting on that tweet thats its a bank holiday and it will be higher in the coming days. Do some people actually want the numbers to be higher? Its a bit weird.

No. Just stating a very simple fact.

Edit. Missed the word tweet. Thought you were having a pop at me and Goat. My bad.

It is definitely a fact but we all know that as bank holidays have been lower for a year. The way the tweets are structured it often looks like they want the numbers to be higher. Its normally people who have masks on their twitter photos.

Hope he survives and admits these were not very Christian words.

TBF I hope he survives too, though it’s hard to think of any of the million plus who actually did die of COVID who deserved that fate more than he would.

Sadly, people of his ilk will probably fail to change their views or will blame the hospitalisation on some other form of fanciful rubbish.

Just had some really good news. My friend works at a major UK hospital as a Sister. A fair few amount of nurses are now being redeployed from covid care back to their normal wards.

Not a surprise really but another one in the eye of the clickbaity media, the 'Scientists for Hire' like Pagel et al and also the doommongers.

TLDR? It's over, open up the gogo bars and get the girls dressed in nurse uniforms as a tribute.

Take it you saw the edit to my original post

Statistically I don't think its right to do it that way. 4 people in hospital had 2 doses. Some of them might only have just had their second dose which would mean they're not fully protected. If one was apparently 101 years old he could easily be in there for other reasons.

It's not 10% of vaccinated people who get hospitalised. In reality its massively below 1%, its probably below 0.1%.

Time for swisscheese and some stoicism but aside the emotional.

It's nice to see that Dave has been enjoying himself outside of this thread

Just listening to the beginning of it and was convinced I heard someone shouting, 'swill & muck... swill & muck'



Although last I heard of dave he was hanging round the grids again attempting to lure folks into his doom ladened nether World...
