Fucking livid. Two of the carers at the home my Dad's in refused the vaccine before christmas. Now there's a covid outbreak amongst the residents. They've been locked down since March last year with only one case in all that time.  

 

Antivaxxers really are the fucking pits.

I also see the bbc have a campaign going, begging for old tech to give to schools. Whilst any help is better than no help at all, why the fuck is nobody (especially on the news channels) hammering the government for this? Didn't they promise to fund this?

Come on mate. There's no need for the government to do this. They won't be closing schools again. They've successfully got them going since the start of the school year with zero social distancing rules and it's working a fucking treat. Everything has been just spiffing since the school's went back in September, why would they need laptops for remote working?

Another point on the Kent variant; other countries have closed their borders to stop it from reaching them. Logically it would make no sense for them to do that if they weren't concerned about how contagious it is.

To be fair, I've seen a number of politicians and scientists from foreign countries say they have no data and research of their own, so need to react to the messaging of the UK government.

Good piece here about the future of the virus and it eventually becoming like the cold, as others have said this has happened in the past.

I'm not sure about comparisons with the flu, from what I've read the flu is so unstable that the vaccine has to be tweaked every year to keep up, even these new covid variants are predicted to be susceptible to the current vaccine.

There was someone on the telly the other day who'd worked on a vaccine (I think from biontech), he thought the vaccines would undoubtedly need to be tweaked down the line, but thinks with this virus that's likely to be every 3 or 4 years and it's likely a tweaked vaccine could be ready in 4-6 weeks.

Marina Hyde on that cunt Toby Young and 'lockdown sceptics' in general- https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/jan/15/waves-britain-lockdown-sceptics-crisis-government

 

I like one of the highlighted comments-

 



Ah, Toby Young.

Like many people who complain relentlessly about being censored, we don't half hear a lot from him

Shit, man!

 

Fingers crossed your dad avoids it.

 

Anti-vaxxers and Covid-deniers should be fucking bull whipped in the middle of the City Centre and then sent to Covid wards.

 

The wife watches the press conferences every time they're on but watched it via FaceAIDS yesterday. The amount of braindead fucking idiots trotting out the same bullshit debunked lies in the comments is unbelievable. NWO, empty ICU wards, open your eyes, I'm not wearing a mask etc.

 

Why does it have to be the decent people who suffer yet these shitheads go unscathed? Pretty much like drink drivers, their own selfishness affects others while they usually walk away from the carnage they cause.

Grant Shapps the transport Secretary really said Dont take travel advice from me. Surely we need to start putting capable people in important roles. Grant shapps is a dodgy as fuck weasel of a man. 

To be fair I assume he is taking the piss out of himself , he was the guy that went on holiday and the rules changed as soon as he got there and he had to come home immediately, leave his wife and kids and do 14 days isolation on his return.

They're all fucking thick as fuck. It's the worst cabinet in history.

 

Loads of people I know have it now, including my mum and dad, my 87 year old nan, and auntie and two uncles. One of my wife's teacher work mates (mid 50s)  is currently in a Covid ward.

Thanks mate. The staff have in the main been excellent at containing previous cases so I'm hopeful it won't spread beyond the wing it's been identified in. Worrying times though, and so unneccessary. It baffles me how anyone working with vulnerable people can be so selfish and callous.  

 

I've concluded these theorists and deniers simply aren't capable of comprehending the enormity of events they don't understand. They ping-pong between the denial and anger stages of grief, and never push through the cathartic stages to acceptance. they're mental midgets, sadly. The only way out of this whole situation now is through, and we're all going through it.

Got sent a video of a yank with uncontrollable shakes after apparently taking the moderna vaccine. If there is already evidence circulating to explain this away I'd appreciate it. Getting sick of just ignoring these cranks, need to start going all Michael Douglas on them.

It just doesn't bear thinking about in terms of idiots working with vulnerable people. The father in law is in a home too and two positive tests in the last three months have been acted upon quickly. Having great staff, like you say is at your dad's home, makes things a tiny bit easier. Doesn't help though when you know they have a minority of pig ignorant staff.

 

A lad at our works sounds exactly like what you described as well, watches mad conspiracy videos on YouTube, believes in the existence of aliens, refuses to wear a mask unless it's compulsory and still socialises with friends indoors. It's frightening when you work with these daft cunts because you have no idea if they have it or not.

Had my first vaccine jab this morning, a few things I noted...

 

You don’t actually have an ‘appointment’ as such. You get written to and told what day and time but no one was checking names when you arrived. The nurse just asked what profession you were in or if you were over 80? 
 

I had an hour wait, queued outside around a car park. No problem for me listening to TMS but far from ideal for those over 80. 
 

Some fucking bitch in front of me in the queue when asked her profession said she was a private dentist, the nurse explained they’re not vaccinating dentists yet and as she hadn’t been written to shouldn’t be there. 
 

Cunt then started kicking off saying she knew of other dentists who had come and had it done by saying they were nurses.

 

The queuing whilst waiting and social distancing was militantly enforced (rightly so) but after you’d had your vaccine in one room they sent everyone into the cafe to wait 15 minutes before leaving. 
 

You then had 4 strangers to a table everywhere and no one wearing masks as they were all drinking coffee. 
 

The paperwork I was given said the second dose would be in 21 days, the nurse that administered my jab told me I’d be called back in 12 weeks.
