They’ll shift the goal post once you get close to the target figure, we were promised that the restrictions would be lifted once we got above 70%, currently we’re above 82% and now they say that we need everyone vaccinated….
Even the kids that last year we were assured couldn’t catch or carry Covid.
Its a never ending exercise in manipulation and control backed up by state sanctioned violence if you protest, but someone as smart as you has already worked this out surely, you’ve been through more than enough lockdowns to know that they dont work.
I don't mean to be picky but so far as I recall no-one said or assured us that : -
1. Kids couldn't catch Covid - It was said that the kids were at less risk of serious illness than older or vulnerable adults.
2. Kids couldn't carry (by this I assume you mean transmit) Covid - It was said that the extent of transmission from kids carrying the virus was uncertain.
3. The vaccination programme would prevent us from catching the virus but would greatly lessen the chance of dying from it.
As to the lockdowns: -
(i) I personally believe that if everyone (and I mean everyone in view of the infection rate of the virus) had obeyed the lockdown regulations/advice then the number of Covid cases/deaths would have
been substantially reduced.
(ii) Given (ii) above, how would you suggest the authorities dealt with breaches of the lockdown regulations?
(iii) What the hell did protesters think would be achieved by breaking the lockdown regulations - wouldn't they appreciate or see the reason for the regulations and what the result of their breach could
be or didn't they just care about themselves or others - perhaps most were relatively young and thought the virus would not affect them severely.
A number on this forum (and elsewhere of course) find it so easy (especially with the benefit of hindsight) to criticize the steps which have been taken to try to cope with this virus - why cannot we have some positive suggestions as to what you (and other critics) think should and can be achieved to deal with it.
It appears from the tone of many of the critics that they think they could all have done better in the circumstances and if this is the case then please let's share their proposals.
Rant over.
but for me personally i would rather more Poms than plane loads of others that are destined for here.
